Any pilots with parking issues are very gratefully recieved, off centre line issues or tweaks i need to make to the stop points do let me know..

HOW TO USE AGNIS STAND GUIDENCE

Just left red light visible - Too far to left

Just right red light visible - Too far to right

Both red lights visible/flickering. Green and orange bars visible= dead centre

AS the aircraft gets closer to stop point the size of the orange/green bars reduces and the red bar becomes visible.

When the green/orange bars disappear, means STOP
