#De-icing pad support

I have put this forward to the developers in the past but I'll add it as a suggestion in the public forum to bring it back up and see how much support there is for it...

My suggestion is to give players the OPTION to add a de-icing stand when selecting their stands. Here's my rough idea of how it works:

  1. The airport creator sets up the de-icing stand by using a unique identifier in the stand name followed by the de-icing stand's name e..g "DEICE A5" which will show on the map as A5 in a blue box

  2. The game will recognise the stand as a de-icing stand. The stand will not be useable as a spawn point and AI aircraft will not use them. They will appear in blue boxes on the stand selection screen as optional extras.

  3. If a de-icing stand is selected, the follow-me car will navigate to the de-icing stand instead of the runway (if used). On approach to the stand, the normal guidance will be available and once stopped, the de-icing vehicles will be useable.

I did not have the resources or time to create a full mock-up... but am interested to hear your thoughts 🙂

@sharp spear I think a more simple approach would be, if the de-icing vehicles can spawn anywhere, not just at the gate (like the pushback truck)

Therefore, we could simply taxi to the de-icing area and do the procedure there.

Either way, it would be nice if something will be done by Rortos
