What is your suggestion?
I propose an optimization of the aircraft parking logic at stands. Currently, aircraft rely solely on generic AI pathfinding for docking, leading to inconsistent parking angles. I suggest implementing an optional “Precision Alignment” mechanism that allows players to intervene and “snap” aircraft to a predefined coordinate at the stand, without the need to enter a separate mini-game mode.
How would it work in the game?
This should be a non-intrusive, real-time intervention tool:​AI Default: The AI continues to handle the docking process automatically for most flights.
​Manual Nudge: If the AI parks the aircraft incorrectly, players should have the option to manually “snap” or calibrate the aircraft’s position and heading directly in the main airport view.
​No Mode Switching: This intervention happens seamlessly in the main view, avoiding the fatigue of repetitive mini-game sequences for every arrival. This effectively acts as a “Correction Tool” rather than a separate game.
Why is this a good idea?
​​Efficiency: Allows for precise parking without forcing players into a tedious mini-game for every single aircraft.
​Visual Fidelity: It fixes the “crooked parking” issue, improving the overall aesthetic quality of hub stands.
​Foundation for Future Features: Standardized parking coordinates are essential for future ground handling animations (e.g., jet bridges, catering vehicles) to function without clipping.
​Player Choice: It empowers players to intervene only when necessary, keeping the core gameplay flow smooth and manageable.

Compass adjustment can be used，Then the AI receives the command, and the aircraft automatically positions itself
