Parking positions are available at pretty much all hand made airports which can be found primarily on the Westcoast of the USA, in Europe but also in other places like Dubai.

Yea , you are right and it sucks. A lot of things needs to be done and let’s hope that IPACS will fulfill all demands as time goes on

Finally someone mentions it. The parking spots are very low plus some are positioned on wrong direction. Such as Antalya airport all parking spots instead aircraft be facing gate or terminal it be facing opposite the tail be facing gate instead. Many more airports with same issue

With a small WorkAround, you can add your own parking position and helipad position to every existing airport in FS4.
Important:
The following explanation is provided without guarantee and without liability.
The procedure has been tested on a Mac and does not result in ERROR or WARNING messages in the tm.log.Example of EGLL LONDON HEATHROW:
(1) Create a TAP file containing this data:
- [icao] = free ICAO airfield code not yet used
- [model_center] = position of the file, may be identical to [position] of helipad or parking
- date helipad
- data parkingCode
Display More<[file][][] <[tm_airport_pd][][] <[stringt8c][icao][egll01]> <[vector2_float64][model_center][-0.454585 51.459119]> <[list_tm_airport_pd_helipad][helipads][] <[tm_airport_pd_helipad][element][0] <[vector2_float64][position][-0.454585 51.459119]> <[float64][direction][-90]> <[float64][radius][10]> <[string8][name][Helipad0]> > > <[list_tm_airport_pd_parking_position][parking_positions][] <[tm_airport_pd_parking_position][element][0] <[vector2_float64][position][-0.454646 51.458434]> <[float64][direction][-90]> <[float64][radius][40]> <[string8][name][Parking0]> <[float64][type][parked_jet]> > > > >
(2) Convert TAP file to TMB, TOC, TSC and WAD files using the converter linked in this post.
(3) If the airport folder created in this way is not yet in your own user directory, then move it there.
(4) If necessary, name the airport folder appropriately (see example).
The attached TAP file from the example contains several lines of explanations; these can remain or be removed (everything in one line after the ">" sign).

Saw an aircraft that the tail is facing the gate and its whole tail body lodged in the building

in the nintendo switch version, all airport parking positions allow you to push and start.
