I waited about 8 minutes and ATC finally gave me taxi instructions...Very complex directions when the runway was a simple 1000ft straight run from pushback point...and TGS was rubbish...I had to tune tower manually...not the biggest deal...im just glad i was able to continue and get up in the air with everything working

The taxi may appear to be a simple straight run of 1000 feet, but if the author of the AFCAD made that run by using 20 different taxi sections with different names, then that is what PF3 will read back to you.

If you get it a lot at a favourite airport, then you should edit the AFCAD or turn off TGS.

Agreed you should try taxiing to gate 3 at VHHX!! Why you would wait 8 minutes though I can't see. I have never had to ever even at complicated airports. Your afcads must be a right mess!
