KLGA taxi issues via A M coming off runway 4

[pete_agreatguy]

Hi,

Found an issue at KLGA with arrivals on runway 4 taxiing to terminal via A M. They seem to want to taxi onto taxiway B which is not what we as humans want to happen :D (DAL2665)

The way round it at the moment is to only give taxi instructions via A (DAL886) but even this isn't enough as sometimes you want to route departures out onto B.

Screenshots below and log attached :) Please fix.

Has this happened for a long time or did it come up recently?

Unsure if it has always been like this Ariel as I only just started using multiple runways at KLGA. Before I have always just used a single runway; so to answer your question directly, it could have been.

I know how that happens. That ramp that goes off from the intersection of A and M is not on M. So the game calculates a way to enter it via M, which is left on L, right on B, right on M into the ramp. In earlier Tower versions the game ignored it, which led to other problems (like ignoring intermediate taxiways causing difficulties for an extended routing - for example at KJFK when JetBlue's E90 landing on 4L exit at J, I don't like them to jam the J/B intersection due to the sharp turn, so I give instructions to taxi via J, A, KE, B and G/F/DA/D, let them hold on KE and let go the traffic waiting on B before sending them to the ramp).

You can see it in the log, too:

COMMAND: DAL886 TAXI TO TERMINAL VIA A M leads to:
DAL886 => Route is: F, F, A, L, B, M, M, ramp_2, C26,   calculate time: 0.1850586s  highest count: 37465

COMMAND: DAL886 TAXI TO TERMINAL VIA A leads to:
DAL886 => Route is: A, ramp_2, C26,   calculate time: 0.1152344s  highest count: 114

The ramp_2 entry is from A, not from M.

Nice bit of Sherlocking there DeltaVII, good job!
