I miss this feature that we had in the P3D version of GSX where user could change the name used by GSX for a parking space.
This feature is very useful at default airports that have parking spaces incorrectly numbered sequentially. I bring it up now because my home base KCRP was just release by Orbx and the developer correctly labeled GATE 2 in the scenery but his airport container identifies it as RAMP 0. LOL drives me crazy because it is the primary gate used by SWA here.
Thanks, it would be a nice to have feature.

Already possible since version 2.6.4 using Python-based customization, already many profiles has been updated to use it.
Page 93 of the GSX Manual, the chapter named "Advanced Airport Customization using Python"

Almost perfect. I had in mind a renaming feature in the UI during run time but this works. Looks like something I ought to be able to use for my very basic needs. Thanks.
UPDATE: The trick for this first time python user was interpreting the Asobo SDK when the parking category is RAMP but the enumeration is 0:NONE. It took a couple of iterations to rename RAMP 0 to it's proper name GATE 2:
msfs_mode = 1
parkings = {
0 : {
None : (CustomizedName("Gate|Gate 2"), ),
}
}
Don't know if it's the best python format but it's working now.
