Identifying appropriate airport gates

Hi Umberto!

Does GSX have sufficient data to be able to display/print a list of available airport gates for a specified airlines aircraft?

Such a list would be very valuable when trying to determine how to taxi in.

Cheers, Richard

Right now, it only checks if gate size is suitable to your airplane (indicating "too small" if otherwise) and if it's available or not (AI presence).

I'm not sure how it could be improved if it checked for the airline codes too. Surely, it shouldn't filter out non-matching parkings, because that airline code might not even be there. The only thing that might be useful, would be adding just a text indication of the preferred parkings.

Would it be possible to show which gates have jetways?

some scenery work with only "small" parking positions, so i had some problem finding a gate for my A320 even it would fit. it would be nice if we can have GSX-Service for every position regardless of the size.

This feature has always been there, have a look at the GSX manual, Page 24, the explanation of the "Max allowed wingspan" parameter of the parking customization page.
