Aircraft Crash at Gate 191

Post by Driver8 » Fri Oct 21, 2016 7:14 pm

Hello! First of all - AWESOME airport! I have a couple of the FT airports and have always been impressed by the quality, but this one is by far the best!

I am having a little bit of a problem at Gate 191 though. I was parked there with the PMDG 737-900, and upon doing a pushback, it would appear that the plane hit something and crashed. Upon repeating this test, I do not actually see anything I could be hitting, but it is repeatable. While I do have crash detection on, I do not have collision detection with other aircraft/ground vehicles on (got sick of being hit by rogue pilots or maniac vehicle drivers almost every time I pushed back and was in the middle of starting engines :D )

It happens while the aircraft's nose wheel is on or to the left (from the pilot's point of view) of the center line for the parking position, about 2/3 of the way from the "2" to the "3" on the line with the PMDG 737-900. I have captured a screenshot of the exact point this happens at Gate 191 from slew mode.

(Yeah, the cargo doors are open, I was just doing this to grab a screenshot :D )
As soon as press "y" to exit slew, (or if I am pushed back through this spot like from GSX), I will get a "Crash!" screen.

Now, if the aircraft is anywhere more than like a couple feet to the right of that centerline (again, from the pilot point of view), the aircraft will NOT crash. To the left, it seems to stop doing it at about the point the nosewheel is in about the middle of the red stripes. I also tried this using the default 737-800, and the same thing happens, though in that case it seemed the nosewheel was more like halfway between the "2" and "3" marks on the centerline.

For now I seem have a simple workaround (just keep the plane a tad to the right of the line and I can cross without issue), but if there is some actual fix for this, that would be great!

Thanks!

Confirmed, will look into what maybe causing it.

Replace the attached file in /FlyTampa/Toronto/Scenery/
That should fix it.
