Airport Parking Charts recommendations for next work-up
-
@Ironman53rd - Per your request for suggestions:
For filename consistency and clarity with your documents, rename
SuwonRWY33L.png as SuwonRWYpark33L.png
and
SuwonRWY33R.png as SuwonRWYpark33R.pngto be consistent with the existing filenames of the other two parking charts:
SuwonRWYpark15L and
SuwonRWYpark15R.png -
@SoBad They should name the files the same as chart title.
APC is perfectly fine (Apron Chart).
What is maybe missing on the APC chart are a north reference.
Best would be to have all chart oriented relative to north (mag or true … true would be probably easier)
And when this is not possible, well we will have the north reference drawn on the chart for proper orientation. -
Since the parking charts have dual use (spawn and landing) how about naming them something like “APC 15R / LPC 33L” ? So that would be LPC for Landing Parking Chart.

APC does mean Airport Parking Chart (or maybe Apron Parking Chart)
@jayb Not a bad idea, but in that case use the right aero wordings: Departure/Arrival
And to avoir confusion or APC(A) for arrival / APC(D) for departure.

@CriticalMass Yep that is what I meant. I wrote “does” but for some reasons my phone corrected it for “doesn’t” (!?) I’ve edited the post.

@Dee-Jay My post deleted
So, the current airport charts are called
<name>_Airport.png
, this will change to<name>_AGC[(A|D)].png
in the future? I manually changed mine (to keep aligned to the WDP database). -

Even better, thanks

I am not the one working on that area.
Our friends Micro and Ironman are in charge. -
Chaps,
I posted back in #3 of this thread some ideas to help you change your 4.37 parking charts to make them more “understandable”.
For the avoidance of doubt there will be no official changes to the parking charts in 4.37.U4 for the reasons stated in that post (volume of work “V” time available)
For what ever iteration of BMS comes after the 4.37 series there will probably be a new chart format so as stated, this thread really should be closed.
It has been a productive discussion and I hope if you do individually decide to change your parking chart you get as much pleasure from them as I do mine.
Its a nice feeling to park up in the correct ATC assigned slot and if you turn on radio text messages, once you have parked up and put the pins and chocks in, you will get a read out of the parking slot you occupy … if you don’t … your in the wrong one.
Enjoy the full BMS experience there are a lot of people working very hard to bring it to you !!!
