Parking position map?

[AaronMyers]

Just thinking as I was planning my next flight. I have no idea as to the complexities of such a beast, and if I had to guess it would probably be extensive, but I often find myself trying to figure out what my start position should be at a given airport for a given airline/aircraft. It might be interesting if in the flight generation screen I could click a button next to the start position that would open up a generate map of the airport based on the afcad information in the scenery library. From there I could visually pick my starting gate/parking position and build that into the plan.

Aivlasoft generates similar maps, presumably based on data derived from the scenery library data as well, and I'm just curious if IF could do something similar.

Thanks for the time.

IF uses the scenery files to create the drawings of the maps same as any other addon. if you add airport scenery you can make maps of those once indexed into IF. The yellow triangles show the locations and orientations of the parking spaces. The numbers and airlines have been left out for clarity. When you select a new plane in IF and generate a flight, the half dozen or so nearest fit spaces are chosen depending on cargo, pax, or military (if they are available). Several requests have been made to include the parking spots and taxiways on maps, it would be good to have it all. I think you can zoom into the parking slots with Avlasoft EFB and seek out the numbers that way.
Thanks for the suggestion, it's still on the list:
