M gates at SYD

Why are these gates not made for M planes? In real life M planes can park her and this is the Jetstar terminal and Jetstar doesn’t operate S planes.

I’ve been told it’s due to “limitations” granted I can’t understand exactly what’s limiting them from doing it

Uhmm okay weird. Too bad though as I like my airports as realistic as possible so I won’t use these gates then… I hope it will be fixed in the near future.

I think its because M stands need to fit every M plane including the largest like the 757 which would maybe overlap in these stands

Yes and that’s why I mentioned in a different thread that a future UI update should introduce a change to focus on an airplanes wingspan for the stands and not just the size category

I 100% agree the realistic airports are better I’m not using those gates until they have the narrow bodies allowed at those gates or I’m just never gonna use them.

ik Rex fly out of those gates I have flown out of those gates on Rex when they had 737s (I miss those) but I have never seen a Rex, Saab fly out of those gates before.

I will use all the gates regardless of the size and livery of the airline, it’s a game and I like to fill my airports.

ive seen rex SAAB in there like once or twice when ive flown thru sydney,

Yes and you’re entitled to do so…
As are we who want realism
No right or wrong way to play this game
