But upon exiting rwy 5 I requested parking thru ATC ground and was assigned to gate C3. When I then activated GSX and selected gate C3 I immediately received green text message stating that "gate you have chosen is too small for aircraft... No ground services are available at that location.." And then it proceded to inform me that a marshaller had been dispatched after I had selected to have "follow-me" vehicle.
Tried your AFCAD, and this is happening too. As I've said in my previous message, you shouldn't be worried about the message, we might change it in this situation, but the important thing is that the parking spot was activate with GSX services.
I then went to GSX editor and verified that indeed C3 does accomodate my Super80pro since it allows a maximum wingspan of 46 m. Following your instructions, however, I pressed the little airplane and it changed the maximum wingspan to 33 m!!!!
And why, exactly, is this supposedly a problem ? As the manual says, that button is meant to adapt the parking size to your airplane wingspan, and it works in both directions, if the parking spot is too small for your airplane, it will enlarge it, but if larger, it will reduce it to the best possible size for your airplane.
Nowhere the documentation says that button means "ensure my airplane will fit, but not touch the size if it's already larger", because there might be cases were you WANT to reduce it because is wrongly set too large.
I restarted Coati and again selected the gate.It still gave me the "too small" message as before.
As I've said, don't worry about the message, the important thing is the parking is accepted, and this is confirmed by the fact you don't have a (too small) indication in the GSX parking selection window when you land.
I again restarted coati and selected the gate...got the same "too small" message and requested "follow-me". As soon as I closed the dialogue box, however, I got a green text message to "cut your engines".
Tried that, and doesn't happen. It only says a marshaller has been assigned.
I restarted coati, reselected the ATC assigned gate (C3) but got the same series of messages: first was "too small...." then was "marshaller dispatched..." and then before I could begin taxiing the message to "cut my engines".
Doesn't happen here. What was your position on the airport when you selected the parking in GSX ? If you were too close to the parking, it's NORMAL GSX would ask you to cut your engines, because it thought you were already inside the parking! That's an example of why the parking spot size should be set the correct size, not too high.
I waited for "follow-me" and went to gate anyway but "cut engines" message kept flashing on every 2 seconds during the entire taxi. All services, however, were available as usual at the gate.
Tried twice, with and without the follow me, and it doesn't do that. Everything works normally, the only thing that needs to be fixed, is the green "too small" message, which should be changed.
