Apron taxi lines and numbered stands

Yellow guidance lines, red stand boxes and numbered stands show where to taxi and where to park.

The whole apron from above: seven terminal stands in one row, five drive-through stands in another, and the dark lane between them.

The apron now has painted markings that show where to taxi and where to park, and every stand has a number.

What is new

  • Yellow taxi guidance lines run along taxiway A, down the east link and along the dark apron lane. Every corner is drawn with the same curve the taxiing aircraft follow.
  • Stands 1 to 7 are the terminal stands. Aircraft park nose-in toward the terminal, with a yellow lead-in line and a stop bar at the nose wheel.
  • Stands 11 to 15 are drive-through stands on the runway side of the lane. Aircraft come in from the lane and leave straight out to the taxiway.
  • Each stand has a red safety box and a yellow number on a dark plate, turned so a pilot can read it while taxiing in.
  • The service road behind the aircraft has white edge lines and a dashed centre line.
  • Each end of taxiway A has curved lead-on lines to the runway and a holding position of two solid and two dashed yellow lines.

At night the markings are dimmed but still easy to follow.

Traffic uses the lines

  • Arriving aircraft vacate the runway, taxi west along taxiway A, take the east link and the lane, and stop on a stand.
  • Departing aircraft leave their stand along its line, join taxiway A and taxi to the runway end.
  • Taxiway A is now paved to both runway ends, and the grass between the apron and the taxiway is paved over.
  • The stand numbers are the sim's own. They are not copied from a chart of the real airport.

What did not change

  • The autopilot still lands in every weather preset, and flying with no input still ends in a crash.

停機坪而家有地面標線，指示飛機點樣滑行同泊位，每個停機位都有編號。

有咩新嘢

  • 黃色滑行引導線沿住滑行道 A、東連接道同深色嘅停機坪車道伸展。每個轉彎都畫成滑行中飛機行嘅同一條弧線。
  • 1 至 7 號係客運大樓停機位。飛機機頭朝向大樓泊入，有黃色引入線同機鼻輪停止線。
  • 11 至 15 號係車道靠跑道一邊嘅貫通式停機位。飛機由車道駛入，再直接由停機位駛出滑行道。
  • 每個停機位有紅色安全框，同埋深色底板上嘅黃色編號，方向方便滑行入位嘅機師閱讀。
  • 飛機後面嘅服務道路有白色邊線同虛線中線。
  • 滑行道 A 兩端有彎曲嘅引入跑道線，同由兩條實線、兩條虛線組成嘅等候位置。
由上面望成個停機坪：一排七個客運大樓停機位、一排五個貫通式停機位，中間係深色車道。

一架飛機沿住東連接道嘅黃線滑行，另一架泊喺 15 號停機位。
一架降落嘅飛機沿住東連接道嘅黃線滑行，另一架喺 15 號停機位等候。
夜晚嘅同一批停機位，黑暗嘅停機坪上面黃線同編號仍然睇得到。
夜晚標線會調暗，但仍然容易跟住行。

交通跟住標線行

  • 降落嘅飛機離開跑道後，沿滑行道 A 向西滑行，經東連接道同車道，停喺停機位。
  • 起飛嘅飛機沿停機位嘅線駛出，接駁滑行道 A，再滑行去跑道盡頭。
  • 滑行道 A 而家鋪到兩個跑道盡頭，停機坪同滑行道之間嘅草地亦已經鋪平。
  • 停機位編號係模擬器自己編嘅，唔係由真實機場嘅圖表抄返嚟。

冇改變嘅地方

  • 自動駕駛仍然喺所有天氣預設下降落，完全唔操作仍然會墜毀。
