No indication of parking aircraft sizes in FSX at some airports

(1/2) > >>

Jean-claude:
As the title implies, when I select an airport, this afternoon it was FSDT KLAX, I did not have any indication such as "Heavy", "Medium", "Small", but only Gate GA small, Gate GA medium etc... Why is that? As a consequence when I selected half hazardly a parking for my MD11, I ended up having no GSX services because this parking was not of an adequate size (according to GSX). How do I obtain the normal menu for the aircraft parking sizes in FSX, some airports have it, some don't, of which many FSDT?
Thank you.

Bruce Hamilton:
If I remember correctly, the reason everything is flagged as GA is to remove default vehicles from the parking spots.  Those that say GA large should be sufficient for your MD-11.

virtuali:
Already discussed, many times already, parkings are flagged as such, in order to get rid of the default ground vehicles.

Of course, having GSX is exactly the opposite of what you say (you don't know where to park) because GSX obviously knows the wingspan of your airplane and the parking actual radius so, if it's not saying "too small", it means that parking CAN be used for your airplane.

Jean-claude:
Let me try one more time:
In order to start my flight, I
1/ load the FSX scenery menu,
2/ select KORD,
3/ look for an adequate parking for the MD11,
4/ ALL gates (I emphasize Gates not Parkings) are identified as Ramp GA.
5/ As a consequence I cannot select any of them
6/ or if I do, GSX tells me that it cannot start because my parking is not adequate.

Hence my question: How can I select a proper Heavy Gate at FSDT KORD?

I am aware this was discussed many times (I found the topics and understand the rationale that led to that) but failed to find a clear, short and straightforward answer to my question.
Thank you for your understanding.

Bruce Hamilton:
Try starting a flight on the active, then taxi off the runway and bring up GSX.  Does it tell you anything is too small for your aircraft?  If it does, select one that isn't, then select warp me there from the follow me menu.  Now you can start your flight from there.
