Good evening!
A few days ago I bought the "Wonderful Madeira" Scenery from Aerosoft. All is working well, only the Follow me Car at LPMA does not guide me to the gates. At LPPS I can see a red light blinking at the Car, then it comes to my plane.
Are there exactly points, where the car "notice" me?
Best regards,
Martin
Follow Me Car at LPMA
Hello Martin,
I think you should have a picture like this one:
and here is the code to trigger the action when the aircraft lands at 05 and goes to the other end of the runway (the situation on the top right part of the previous picture). I will comment the code
:test_1A_MA
SetColor( 1 0 )
Hold( 1 )
IfObjectInBox( :test_1B_MA 32:41:37.19 -16:46:45.80 58 0 20 20 )
Hold( 20 )
IfObjectInBox( :test_1A_MA 32:41:34.42 -16:46:45.24 58 0 40 40 )
Hold( 10 )
IfObjectInBox( :test_1A_MA 32:41:34.42 -16:46:45.24 58 0 40 40 )
Jump( :go_05 )
this code could be understood as:
1) wait until the aircraft enters the squared box (20 m by 20 m) centered at latitude N32:41:37.19 and longitude W16:46:45.80
2) count 20 seconds after the instant of entrance.
3) check if the aircraft is inside a second squared box (40 m by 40 m) centered at latitude N32:41:34.42 and longitude W16:46:45.24
4) if the aircraft is not inside go to 1) (the fail could be the aircraft runing to fast or to slowly)
5) if the check in 3) is OK then count another 10 seconds
6) repeat check 3) eg check if the aircraft is still inside the box
7) if YES you get the FOLLOW_ME. If not go to 1) and wait!
I hope this will help you.

Hello Luis!
Many thanks for this detailled answer. Now I know what I've done wrong. I used a small plane for testing the follow me car and with this plane I can stop at the FIRST exit, but there is no entry-position (1).[:D] At Porto Santo it doesn't matter, because there is only one exit.
Bigger planes, which normally use a follow me car, won't stop at the first exit...[;)]

Martin
