The apt.dat file does not include a taxi network that can be used by programs using AI aircraft, like World Traffic, etc.
This would require entries with the 1202 code, in addition to the 1201 entries.
Not a big issue and definitely not a bug, as the "Issue type" says, but I thought it was worth reporting, since in the description it says that there is a "taxi route".
If a WED scenery has a ground route WED ALWAYS passes the ‘Taxi-Route’ parameter to the Gateway (as well as the ‘Ground Route’ parameter). If you search the Gateway d/b you will find that ‘Taxi-Route’ is ALWAYS set whenever ‘Ground Route’ is set. Michael is aware of this. It may already have been fixed in WED 2.4.
Although it says "Has Ground Routes", the apt.dat file is missing any 1202 nodes. So AI programs like World Traffic cannot have planes taxing at this airport.
It is not a bug report but a note about an incorrect feature listing. The scenery is listed in the x-plane cleverest.eu map as having a Taxi Route Network but it does not. There are no 1202 nodesin the apt.dat file, AI aircraft cannot taxi in this airport.
This seems to be an error with the http://cleverest.eu map, then - which is not under Laminar Research´s control and not part of the Gateway bug report system.

Hi just to let you know: In August of 2022 the airport layout has slightly changed, All the gates are now straight in parking instead of sideways, and now require a pushback. This allows more aircraft parking in the same space.
From left to right, Parking 1A and 1B overlaps parking 1 (which is still askew). Next are S1 S2 and S3 with S3A overlapping in a roll-on-off position (facing south east). Then in front of the terminal parking 2-9 and in front of the fire station parking 10A and in the far corner 10.
Currently I have no time to pick this up, perhaps anyone else. thanks!

You are right - the airport contains routes for the ground trucks - but not for the aircraft!
I am not sure why the Gateway can not distinguish between the two - I will refile this as a bug against the Scenery Gateway.

This is not a Gateway bug. Tags are set by authors and moderators. Contact the moderator to fix the tags for this airport. @Julian ?

Wait .. this IS a bug .. in WED !

The airport has ground routes for airport vehicles - not for aircraft. This would be something for Gateway artists to add.
