Missing Button to "Go Back"

[torsten]

We arrive in Leipzig ( EDDP , coordinates are not important, Leipzig Scenery from Digital Design installed in P3D v5.2 )
Then we call the GSX Menu and select number 6 for Gale L with 3 suitable Gates. ( screenshot 1 )
After that we get the Screen to select the Gate ( screenshot 2 )

But what if we want to go back to the Main Menu because we want to select number 5 with other Gate Positions ?
There is no "Back" Button to go back in the Main Manu ( like it is as example in Active Sky Window )

I normally just exit the GSX window and start again, it'll take you back to the start, and you can reselect it.

But a extra Entry to go Back would be a good solution, like it is in Active Sky Simconnect Window all the time.
Closing and open again is not a good solution and not a good programming stil.

I can't really help you there, I'm a truck driver. I don't program software.

Since the Simconnect menu is limited to 10 entries, it would be wrong to waste one of them for a back entry, when it's enough to just press the Hotkey twice to close it and open it again.

Eh, pay is decent, but I'm usually away from home for five weeks.

I guess I don't understand the issue. You mean to tell me that at an airport that could have a lot of gates, you would prefer to have 12 pages of gates to sort through instead of 10?

What can be soooo hard to hadd a 4th Entry called "Back" and brings you back to to the main Menu???

You conveniently took one of the very few menus in the whole GSX that doesn't use all the entries. Most of them do, which is why is both wrong asking for a "back" option everywhere, or even worse, asking for a "back" option only when there's extra space, because it would be very confusing.

It's not a question of difficulty as much as it is practicality. If you look at the screenshot below, you will note that there are 13 pages of gates to select from. The first page has 9 gates, but because later pages have the previous page button, most of the next 12 pages have 8 gates to choose from. The last page only has 4 gates. That's a total of 101 gates to select from. If you add this back button in every menu, that means you now can only select 7 gates per page instead of 8. Now you just added an extra page or two of gates to choose from.

[Captain Kevin]

Even better example. Heathrow. 22 pages worth of gates to scroll through for a total of 176 gates. If you add this back button of yours, two things will happen. First, you now will have 25 pages worth of gates to go through. Second, if you're on page 25 and you accidentally hit the back button for some reason, now you have to scroll through all 25 pages of gates again.

It's not "hard", it's the wrong choice, for reasons I and Kevin are trying to explain in so many different ways, yet you think it's not there because it's "hard" or we are "inexperienced" ? Hasn't occurred to you it's made like this becase we CHOSE to ? Not that this should have been hard to understand, considering all the many replies, all saying the same thing.
