The Small, Medium, Heavy labels are just labels, what really counts is the radius in meters. Checked that airport (assuming you are referring to the FSX default), and the largest parking has a radius of 18.00 meters, so it can fit an A320 maximum. A 747 needs a parking of 33 meters minimum.

If you have an addon scenery with a more accurate AFCAD, or you edit the default one with editors like ADE or AFX, GSX will surely comply and let it park there.

WilliamJSS:
Is it normal to have the gates not labeled for FSDT airports? I just noticed that mine only really give numbers, and show neither Large, Medium, or Terminal information when in the freeflight area...

virtuali:
They might not be labeled as "Gate", in some airports they are labeled as "GA Parking" to exclude default ground vehicles, but still as Small, Medium, Large.

Actually it's LH Simulations Scenery, so I guess contact them and see what size they are using for the spots. I do get service with my Cheyenne , Twin Otter , Legacy and Citation X .

Don't forget you can always check yourself using the ADE or AFX programs.

Or, you can just *trust* GSX...if it's saying a parking is too small, it's because it has compared the actual radius as specified by the designer in the AFCAD, against the wingspan of the airplane you are using.

Note that, this is exactly the same rule the default ATC uses: if a parking is too small for your airplane, the ATC will never give it to you.
