This is in the nature of information.

Flew into here yesterday and got a 'Taxi to Terminal' but when I got there the place was empty and I could have any parking I wanted.

Can this airport have been missed when the 'taxi to terminal' details were being worked on?

If you have the Gate Parking Only option selected in the PF3 advanced options, you will get the "Taxi to Terminal" instruction if parking areas, but no gates, are available. I know you fly with a lot of add-on scenery and this may be an issue with the AFCAD for the airport. We can't tell if the gates may in fact be configured as parking areas in the AFCAD. In the meantime you may want to untick (uncheck) the Gate Parking Only option (Options #2 button, then Advanced Options).

You could of course choose a gate/parking before hand under options 2. But you do realise that you can do it "on the fly" as it were by pressing hotkey 1 to disable the taxi guidance, going onto the PF3 screen after landing choosing "Designated Parking Control", going back into your sim screen and press hotkey5.

If you were flying a commercial airliner then you would more likely than not have a pre-arranged parking/gate waiting for you.

And be sure you have rebuilt the PF3 database after making any scenery changes.

Yes. That's done it. Got a gate parking just now in KSBY Salisbury Ocean City.

Gradually making my way round the perimeters of the USA. The changes in the scenery are quite interesting. I think I've left the desert areas behing me now.

All the best.
