AIRPORT DLC - Airport cargo stands

[Fried Will]

Hi,

I have an incresaing backlog of cargo planes in my airport, because the incoming planes, as well as the ones spawning from the trucks in my city, keep using the same cargo stand.
I tried several arrangments, but i couldnt fix this behaviour.
Any idea how to have the planes using the other available stands ?

Have you tried a setup where all the cargo stands are the exact same same distance from the take-off runway, like a branching tree sort of layout? I've found that this at least makes the export aircraft distribute their flights roughly evenly between the cargo stands. There's still an awful lot of taxiway queueing, though.

I'm fairly certain at this point that export aircraft only care about the distance between the cargo stand and the runway, and that's why they all pile on whichever cargo stand is closest.

Not sure if the same applies to import aircraft, as I've yet to see a single one spawn in my game, despite a huge need for imports in the city.

Same for me. 7 stands and about 20 planes queuing up. Several times I get 2 or 3 planes on top of each others when using the stand or queuing.

"Improved plane spawning logic to better match the amount of planes created to plane passenger numbers, this fix applies also to trains and ships in similar instances"

From the patch notes. Shame it clearly doesn't apply to cargo vehicles.

Cargo planes also return to the airport empty after flying to the edge of the map, which adds to the congestion. I'm pretty sure this shouldn't happen and it's been reported on both console and Steam versions.

Same problem for me, but I have a workaround:
Just connect half of your cargo stands to the Runway as "ingoing traffic" and half as "outgoing traffic". Import Airplains will then deliver ther cargo and despawn then.
Export Airplains just never come back lol.
With tis workaround Import and Export plains never use the same stands and its 50% better :D
Hope this helps for you also and hopefully the devs will fix this...

I'm having issues with my cargo train terminal, trucks are crossing the city to leave cargo on it, that the train takes back to where they where from!
I remove the roads to the train station so only cargo from planes would go to the train, but then the unimaginable happened: trucks started unloading on a plane that would taxi to the stand that has access to the train station and unload there!

After that, I tried isolating the cargo stands for the train station with exclusive landing strip, and the worst happened: Those planes would take off, just to land on the train station strip to unload there...
This DLC is so broken

And what mods you use? Never had this issue in my cities, but I don't tamper things with AI changing mods.
