Question about gate accomodations

Apparently, a Boeing 787-9 is too large to fit into gate A27 at DEN, when in real life, A27 can accomodate a 787-9 (according to FlightAware):



I have noticed this issue at other airports too, but my question is, will small issues/and or incorrect data like this be fixed in the future?

There’s a slight category mistake here: While it is correct that a widebody should fit in Gate A27, it’s not the Gate A27. Flightaware only considers gates as it appears to the passenger, i.e inside the terminal. From FR24, you can see that the aircraft was parked specifically in Gate A27W, which can fit a widebody. Flightaware will not show this because it’s not important to the regular passenger:

In KDEN’s current released state, A27W does not exist as a gate you can spawn in. As it is being worked on, it is best to wait for a future release of the airport so that the ramp data is more up-to-date.

Hope that helps :slight_smile:

@1sma3l I would encourage you to bring incorrect gate sizes to the attention of the IFAET moderators if you do notice any problems with gates. I’ve done it before and they are always quick to forward the issue to the editors of the specific airports for updating. Obviously this isn’t one of them, but there tend to be a few simple errors here and there!

This will be forwarded to the IFAET team.

The best thing you can do I make a support or general topic, explicitly state what gate at what airport and it will be forwarded to the scenery editor.

Okay I’ve found a few airports like this in IF but what about airports where the aircraft is too big entirely in Infinite Flight but irl is flown into the Airport specifically MBSC which i made a topic on?

Airports like NZAA can accommodate A380s but they are mostly too big for the airport.
