No that is not correct. The problem is 'probably' a bad AFCAD. If all the gates are in use (for the size you specify) OR PF3 cannot find a fully 'connected' path to a vacant gate you will receive 'Taxi to Terminal' as the default backup.

Tried 8 different airports so far, all the same issue. Don't have any other problems with other ATC program when landing. If I specify a gate, it take me right there.

I flew into Atlanta airport again just now, and I selected a Gate while on approach in the PF3 menu.

When I contacted ground, they directed me to the correct gate and TGS came right on. Only time i have had this happen on multiple airports is when I selected a gate . Rest of flight was perfect. :D

Try the following and see if there is any effect: Options #1 screen, TGS section (on left), select "Gate Small" from the drop-down list. Also, de-select (uncheck) the Gate Parking Only option on the Advanced Options and INI File Tweaks screen.

Will do.

Just flew into KATL which had hundreds of empty gates. Was told to Taxi to the ramp and no TGS. So am I correct in thinking that unless you specify a gate where you want to go to with the PF3 menu, you will never get a Taxi to the gate from ATC, because I have yet to get one ?
There seems to be a problem with your PF3_p3d_gates.dat file. If you want to zip and attach it I'll take a look. Then you might want to rerun MakeRwys and refresh the PF3 database.

I scanned it quickly by eye but couldn't see anything obvious, but this is definitely why you aren't getting taxi instructions. Have you tried rerunning MakeRwys and refreshing the PF3 DB?

I reran everything this morning ( I believe I had done that within the last week or so also). Flying now, with the changes recommended by Dan 77 in post above. Will report results.

Flew into a new airport, KGNV, that I had never been to before after making changes suggested. Landed, contacted ground, TGS came on after getting cleared to a gate. Since I had run make runways about week ago as well as updating PF3 data, I am sure that selecting "Gate Small" as Dan suggested, is what fixed this issue for me. ( I had already toggled Gate Parking Only setting off and on a few days ago).
