Gates numbers

Hello,

In a number of airports gate numbers shown by LNM do not agree with the real numbers. It can create confusion when dealing with ground controllers. Is there a way to adjust the sceneries?

cheers

When you say "real numbers" are you referring to a real life airport or one in a sim? Which sim are you using?

I am using MSFS and Vatsim. By real numbers I mean those which agree with the real maps (Navigraph) and are used by controllers. For example in LKPR I was told to go to gate 23 and following LNM I ended up in gate 6…

 MANY of the airports in MSFS have seemingly random gate/parking numbering. It fits right in with those same spots often being 45-180 degrees in the wrong direction. It was all about quantity, not quality.

LNM can only show what's in the scenery library.
And then there is the DRM issue with encrypted add-on airports in MSFS where you will see only the layout of the stock airport.

You can disable the display of aprons and parking in the LNM options on page "Map Display Labels" on branch "Airport Details". This will show the OpenStreetMap (or other map theme) background with maybe more accurate gate numbers. But these might not match the sim.

I understand the problem, thank you!
