Looking for airport lots featuring multiple aircraft.

    I'm looking forward to taking advantage of the terrific custom airport lots, props, and bats, and I was about to dive into the downloads when I had a question. All of the lots I've browsed through for aircraft lotted at gates or on taxiways, are for a single type of aircraft with a single paintscheme. Now, even though the models are beautiful, I don't want to build a tidy little terminal with a handful of jetways which will be occupied by the same set of aircraft that just sit there, perpetually, in the same place for ever and ever.

    So my question is, has anyone made plopable lots using prop families of aircraft that come and go, and show a variaty of different aircraft at the same gate? And if so, where can I find them?

    Thank you kindly for you help!

    Well first off the number of downloads that have the same plane actually feature numerous paint schemes than those that don't. If you download something like Tabi's 747s you will get dozens of different liveries, not just one. As for different planes appearing at the same gate, currently that is impossible because they can't taxi to the runway (because pieces haven't been made to accomadate that) so they would have to disappear and appear in thin air. Hope this helps!

    Oh I know the aircraft download packs have many liverys, not just one, and I also know that having visibly moving aircraft on an airport is nigh impossible, and not without an immense amount of work.

    I was just wondering if there were lots out there that did have planes appear and dissappear out of thin air, and change at random. For me, even though it may be just a little effect, it has a huge change on the whole feel of the airport, and makes watching the changing developments at the airport at least a little bit interesting. Also, having a single or just a handful of jetways that include the whole variety of liverys available would make for much neater, cleaner menus and simpler airport construction.

    Actually if you are looking for realism, most airports don't have different airlines using the same gates.
