Taxi to the gate

[Erwin06 1]

Hi,

First I'd like to say that Pilot2ATC is a wonderful program, but it has something that hurts me at every flight : it understands "eight" instead of "gate" ! It is literally impossible for me to get a gate assigned when landing at an airport (without setting the parking brakes and opening the program which is really killing the immersion). 

I know there is already a topic about this, I tried to set speech recognition to recognize "gate" and "eight" as advised but this didn't help a lot. In real life, does the pilot has to ask for a gate when landing at an airport ? When I fly on Vatsim, the controller assigns me to a gate automatically. Is it possible to add "Request taxi to stand" or "Request taxi to parking" as a way to say "Request taxi to the gate" ?

Thanks !

PS : I tried the Grammar Help, but no matter how hard I try, it understands eight...

Usually, if you include the word "the" before "gate" it will understand gate instead of eight.

If that doesn't do it, you can say "Request taxi to the Terminal" and you should get a gate.
