There are no parking available at this airport

I landed at KDCA in an ERJ175 and when I pressed CTRL+F12 I received the message in the title of this topic.  I have never had that happen before.  Only recent changes have been the installation on the new Stand alone Manager and the De-Icing feature (which I used prior to departure from CYYZ and it worked splendidly BTW).

How "recent" is your recent installation of the Stand-Alone Addon Manager ? We had an update that was supposed to fix exactly this, but you need the latest version.

I downloaded/installed the addon manager on December 3rd.

That's confirm what I've said: as you can see from the Live Update release notes, the update that fixed this issue was published on December 14th, and you should have seen a notification for it, provided you haven't ignored it.

So, you simply have to download and install the latest Stand-Alone Addon Manager again.

I'm afraid this issue isn't completely fixed yet.

I downloaded the latest update today. But at Orbx KMRY GSX does not recognize the parking positions. In the "Customize Airport Position" window I can see that GSX thinks I am at KMRZ not KMRY.

I did not have problems at Orbx KMRY in earlier versions of GSX.

Thanks for looking at this again.

Could you please check your FSX\fsdreamteam\Couatl\Couatl.exe version ?

It's 2.0.0.2374.

I'm using P3D 2.4 btw.

What airport is KMRZ ? Can't find it anywhere, is some kind addon to KMRY ? Or it's *very* close to it ?

[RALF9636]

KMRZ is indeed part of the Orbx KMRY Airport. It is the aeroclub on the north side of the runway while KMRY with its terminal is on the south side of the runway. So this might be a very special case but GSX worked there in earlier versions.

So this might be a very special case but GSX worked there in earlier versions.

Previous version of GSX probably worked *only* there, because GSX never supported the "airport inside airport" before. The new version CAN, but it needs special support from us, because although we added support for it, we still haven't added the ability for USERS to fix these special cases, there's no user interface for it so, in the meantime, you can only report them so we can add those cases to GSX stock airports customization.

Maybe you can add an option where the user can choose at which airport he is, in situations where airports are very close.

No, that would be cumbersome, it's best to have the proper ranges specified, so you won't have to choose anything, it will just work on the smaller airport if you are inside its smaller range, and on the larger one if your are outside the range of the smaller one but inside the range of the larger.

As I've said, initially we must add support for these special cases, future updates might add an user interface to indicate the range of an airport inside an airport.

[RALF9636]

I totally agree. Just thought this might be a temporary fix. I'm sure you'll find a smart solution.
