Booking Parking Services

vadriver:
I apologise if there is earlier discussion on similar lines but could not spot any.

Also let me write how i use almost exclusively FSDT's GSX & Airports throughout the continental US ... KSFO, KPHX, KSAN, KSEA are the exceptions for obvious reasons.

I am thus keen having used GSX since its release to ask about a feature you may have considered and / or others might also use, even if it is only for "your" / selected airports.

As the topic title suggests ...and as currently Parking Services can only be invoked after destination landing ....I wonder whether you could have an option / feature that allows "booking" of a gate at your destination in advance of landing, perhaps before departure and / or before TOD.

I guess along the lines that to do this GSX would need to know the destination via a GSX search function based on ICAO codes which finds the appropriate AFCAD etc.etc.

Fingers are crossed that doing something such as this has no FPS / Memory impact.

My thinking behind asking is that "invoking Parking Services does consume delaying time in an already busy sequence after rollout & runway exit".

I trust you (& others) see merit in the idea / thinking if it not a major task & of course possible.

This has been discussed already on the forum, and there are many good reason why it should't be done:

thanks for your reply .... I never thought of using the term "preselect" in my search !!

I knew it wouldn't be a "simple" solution but thought possible .... but not at the expense of time & other features.

for the moment, i'll continue using my Logitech g13 keypad macros to at least (with one button push) select a known empty gate I have put in the afcad.

but it is the same in real live.
You get the arival gate during the flight.

Maybe you can make it possible if a flightplan is load in the flightsim.
If yes you can easy read the Destination airpot and then we can select the gate during the flight.
if there is no flightplan then not :-)

If the Pilot flies with ATC he can ask the ATC for the Gate and then preselect this in GSX.
If the Pilot arrives at the Destination Airport and the Gate is blocked by another Multiplayer Aircraft
or a static airplane .. the shit happens .. and the Pilot have to slect another Gate...no Problem,
then he have to use GSX like it is now.

But you don't get the gate during the flight with the FSX ATC, which waits until you land.

That's a possible solution, but it will still require many changes to GSX that, right now, is designed not to do anything unless you are on ground.

That's precisely one reason why it wouldn't be of great value being able to preselect a gate, when most of the time, you'll have to change it anyway.
