Select parking facility not paging choices properly.
« on: January 28, 2019, 09:00:33 pm »
Umberto,

I noticed this changed a while back but I keep forgetting to post it. I am having a couple of issues with my select parking menus. I'm attaching some images to illustrate. They are from FlyTampa KBOS, but the behavior is consistent at all airports. I just landed. My assigned gate is A18.

I press F12 as usual to bring up the GSX Select parking menu. The first menu that appears (Menu_1.jpg) looks fine, but there is no number next to the selection for "Next". I swear that at some point in the past, I was able to select a parking using only the keyboard by selecting numbers. This allowed me to taxi using my right hand on the stick, and use my left hand to select my parking. Now, I need to move my right hand to my mouse, select next, and then move my hand back to the stick. Not a problem if I have a long straight taxiway, but it is a problem if I have short stretches or lots of turns. Note at the top it says page 1 of 2 (1/2). There are 8 runway start position choices numbered 1-8 in this 1st screen. (4L 9 14 15R 22R 27 32 33L)

After selecting "next" with the mouse, the 2nd page to appear (Menu_2.jpg) has choices #3-8 which are the the exact same as choices #3-8 (14 15R 22R 27 32 33L) on the first page. Page 2 has no choice #1 or choice #2, but it DOES have "Next page" at the bottom with a #0 so it can be selected with the keyboard. (yeah!)

Pressing 0 brings me to page 3 of 2. (Menu_3.jpg) All the choices are valid.

Going back, my gate was A18. If I select Gate A (#9 on page 2) I get the menu shown in Term_A1.jpg. It has choices #1-8, but no #0 for Next page. At the top, it says 1 of 3 (1/3).

'Next' brings me to page 2 (Term_A2.jpg). It starts with "Previous" (and no number to select it), then it shows choice #3. Choices #3-8 on this page are the same as choices #3-8 from the previous page. There is only 1 new choice at the bottom - #9. But there IS a #0 to allow selecting "Next page" via keyboard! (yeah again!).

Pressing 0 brings me to page 3 (Term_A3.jpg). This page is mostly fine. #1 is "Previous page", #2-8 are all the correct choices to follow page #2. NO #0 next to "Next" (Hmm... "Next Page" always has the number, but "Next" never does.)

'Next' brings me to page 4 - of 3 (Term_A4.jpg). It starts with "Previous" (and no number to select it), then it skips #1 and #2 and starts with choice #3. Choices #3-8 on this page are the same as choices #3-8 from the previous page. There is only 1 new choice at the bottom - #9. But there IS a #0 to allow selecting "Next page" via keyboard! (yeah again!).

'Next' brings me to page 5 of 3 (Term_A5.jpg). This page is actually fine aside from the fact that it says "3/3" at the top instead of "5/5".
 
I would imagine that this is unique to my system as I can't imagine that the community at large is seeing it but not reporting it. The odd part is that I recently uninstalled and reinstalled GSX a couple of weeks ago when I was upgrading a drive and the problem stayed. Maybe there's a config file affecting the menus somewhere?  Help!

The problem doesn't have anything to do with GSX, and it has been already discussed and explained here:
