I found out that the all original parking space is too small for aircrafts like B777 or B747 which operate at Taoyuan Intl. in real life, AIG AI traffic only injects small jets such as B737 & A320 into the airport, and the AI traffic doesn't depart or simply disappear after landing due to incorrect taxiway connections from parking to runway, also ATC doesn't recognize any taxiway so it does not assign path for you after landing (there isn't even any taxi to gates options), so this rework is aimed to fix the problems mentioned above.
Disclaimer: This does not contain any scenery or models from Double T and Alpha India Group.
All scenery objects, models, and textures belong to their respective owners, I'm only responsible for making some tweaks.
You must have payware DOUBLE T - RCTP-TAOYUAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MSFS installed, get it here: Link
This rework doesn't work with the default Asobo Taoyuan International Airport ( Planned in future projects ), since Asobo built the airport from older satellite images, some taxiway and parking isn't there.
Tested using Alpha India Group's AI traffic, Link
V1.0 Initial release:
- Reworked and renamed all taxiway and parking sizes so they can be utilized by AIG AI traffic and ATC.
- Redesigned the threshold area, approach light for Runway 05R, 05L, 23R, 23L, according to real-life images and videos.
- Added few blue taxiway sidelights are placed at taxiways W1, W2, Q7, EC
- Added red runway hold short line light.
- Added red lights indicating closed taxiway.
- Added airport vehicle routes.
- Gate D6 size is set to 40m in order to operate the A380.
- Added a second jetway at Gate A4 using Asobo's default jetway.
- Added missing jetway at Gate A1
- Added missing parking 801 to 808 on apron 8
Kcai's 20m DEM compatibility hotfix:
Kcai's Taiwan 20m DEM has caused some part of the runways and taxiways to have not flat surfaces, I have made a compatibility fix for it. but it has generated more graphical bugs.
Instructions:
If you don't have Kcai's Taiwan 20m DEM addon installed:
- Download the latest main version release
- Extract the "nicholaspeng-airport-rctp-taxiwayreworkv1" folder into the community folder
If you have Kcai's Taiwan 20m DEM addon installed:
- Download the compatibility version release
- Extract the "nicholaspeng-airport-rctp-taxiwayrework-kcai-compatible" folder into the community folder
Known issues:
- Taxiway centerline lights are placed with light rows tools since the SDK doesn't allow editing the centerline lights generated by taxipaths, so there are no visible lightbulbs only light effects.
- Only a portion of blue taxiway sidelights are placed at taxiways W1, W2, Q7, EC since I don't have enough reference data to build it, it is appreciated if someone could provide reference images or videos.
- Large AI aircrafts such as B747 and B777 don't handle turns well, sometimes taxiing over grass.
- A weird bug that causes AI traffic to taxi onto the runway from taxiway N7 and back to N4 when taxiing to hold short RW05L, temporarily solved by splitting taxiway N7 in half.
- Randomly parked airport vehicles can cause AI traffic to park incorrectly.
- A portion of taxiway NP have closed taxiway marking on them, I have no control over them since Double T made the markings, so there are no taxipath over it.
- Some taxiway lines are missing, again I have no control over them since Double T made them.
- Kcai's Compatibility version has random generated threshold light bulb types.
If there are still any unlogged issues, please let me know by leaving a comment. Also, please leave a rating if you like/dislike this rework.

Hey, just trying this out, I only have narrow body aircraft spawning, I see two heavies (747) parked on the north east part of the apron by terminal 1

I've checked, and it's still working, you should check your AIG traffic installation,
see if you have China Airlines (CAL) & China Airlines Cargo installed, there are fewer and fewer airlines that operate 747 in TPE except for CAL in real life, hence the rarity of it spawning.

I found this fix will create a bump at the 5R. Not sure why.
I have KCAI's Taiwan 20M installed for your information.

I can confirm Kcai's 20m DEM is causing this, I have uploaded a compatible version, but unfortunately, it generated more graphical glitches, such as randomly generated runway threshold lights.
The only way for me to completely fix this is to remake this addon again from scratch with Kcai's addon installed.

works great, just one question how you can edit the parking spots of payware? did you use ADE or in-game SDK for thee dits? i would like to do this in other airports but i never found the way to access the airport map in the payware addons files

This was made using in-game SDK, you can't edit original scenery's properties, the current SDK doesn't allow that, but you can add new objects, I accidentally found out that if you add for example a parking spot using the SDK objects tab, the SDK automatically deletes all the original scenery's parking spots, so that why this mod is called a remake instead of a fix, I literally went through remaking every parking spots, taxiways, and runways.
And after you build your project and load it along with the original scenery, your project will replace any adjustment made but will keep the things that your project did not touch for example 3d models, but in some cases, it works sometimes it doesn't, like the runway adjustment I made, I have to use the delete command in the airport properties tab to delete the original runway, otherwise, my version of the runways would overlap the original one. you have to load your project with the scenery a bunch of times and see how it turns out, it's basically trial and error.
