Hello Dave,

after installing the actual Public Beta Vers. 2b I run into the following problems:

1. After customizing taxiways and gates for EBBR (location, naming, gate type...) I want to save my work via the Save/Load tab to my disk for backup and/or editing in notepad (e.g. allocate list of airlines to gates). With the actual version I receive an error message (popup window), stating: "Gates failed to save for EBBR" and p2a creates an empty file. Saving the taxiways works fine.
2. For the same airport, there was an "old" airline assignment (BEL) at three gates. If I do a search for BEL in taximnt -> gates -> Gate Search, taximnt will highlight (pink) the gates (120, 205L and 207) in the map. If I try to delete the assignment (unmark BEL in the "airline assignment" portion of the Gates tab) and press "Save Changes", nothing changed. The assignment is still active.

Tried the folling to "fix" it:

• Reinstall Public Beta 2b (run as admin) - same problems, but logfile looks different as the one before reinstall as admin (see below)

I'm running p2a as admin. Tried to save already customzide gates from other airports (e.g. EKVG) without any problems . Saved these also into the same folder where I tried to save the EBBR customisation without problems. Something wrong within the DB for EBBR?.

The default gates save fine.

I suspect your edits may have messed something up.

I would try importing the gates again and then try saving it, before editing.

Then make your edits and if it doesn't save, you'll have the Saved unedited import to fall back to.
