why green and gray parking spots

[normie5 0]

When I am at EGLL i see half the parking spots are gray and the others green. What is the significance of this distinction.

LNM user manual, chapter legend (directly linked in the LNM help menu) explains this: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/latest/en/LEGEND.html#airport-diagram

Quote

	Fuel
	GA ramp with parking number and heading tick mark.
	Gate with number and heading tick mark. Second ring indicates availability of jetway.
	Cargo ramp
	Military combat parking or cargo ramp.

Not all information is available for all simulators.
Gray means unknown which appears quite often in X-Plane.

This is probably too much work, but could you consider color coding the gates by Airline code in the same manner that Airport Design editor did? Perhaps the ADE author would let you use the ADE airline datafile with the RGB codes.  The file is parkingspaces.dat.

Are you using MSFS? If so do you see airline codes for gates when you hover cursor over a gate? In LNM I see no airline codes assigned to gates, even at third party payware airports. I'm beginning to think it's not possible to assign airline codes to gates, or at least LNM cannot read them for MSFS airports. For example at FSDT KORD for which Umberto insists they have added gate airline assignments all I see in LNM when I hover cursor on a gate is "Airline Codes: ,,," with the number of "," varying from gate to gate usually one, two or three ",".

Airline codes depend on simulator and add-on. I see some for X-Plane but none for MSFS although the BGL format can provide airlines codes.

I'd rather not color the gates in more colors, sorry.
