Unsure whether anyone else is having this problem, or if it's finger trouble at my end. This never used to be an issue, but it's happened repeatedly for the past six flights flying the PMDG 738 into a big airport. On arrival I get information from BATC on what gate/stand to arrive at, then I call up GSX and select the same gate, I call follow me, and then when I arrive at the gate, there's a plane there. As I say, I've not experienced this before, it's only happened over the past half a dozen flights or so. I'll look forward in hearing anyone's thoughts on this. Thanks guys.

Which program are you using for ATC/AI management?  

When you load GSX it should also give you an option to remove AI at the gate you are requesting.

It sounds like it's your AI/traffic management app(s) though.

Hi Paul,  as for GSX and removing AI at a gate, unless that has changed, that was always disabled. I'll check it again to see if that could be the issue. I'm using BATC. Cheers.

Hi Rocky, 

No, I was saying that when you choose your gate in GSX it should "also" give you the option to remove any AI occupying that gate.  GSX is definitely not the issue it has nothing to do with assigning AI to gates.

It is something with BATC.  For some reason it is telling you to park at gates that are already occupied.  You are using BATC's built in traffic management as well?  And to that point you have ALL other AI disabled?  If not it could be an AI that BATC doesn't even know about but I would focus on AI injection and BATC.

Hmm, OK matey, I'll go over my settings again. I'll let you know how I get on. Cheers.
