For those who have a bit of patience and a knowledge of LAT and LON coordinates, you can add the gates that you want to your PMDG aircraft by editing each airports file under the PMDG/SIDSTARS folder by adding lines below. Some will have gates already under the GATES heading and others will not have them at all. Add a new line for each gate as shown below and once you restart your FSX you will be able to get the correct gate coordinates into your FMC. You will have to use Google Maps to get the coordinates for each gate at your airport of choice and then convert them from decimal degrees to degrees and minutes accurate to 4 or 5 decimal places (see below). I like to fly using the United livery so below are all the United gates at KLAX if you would like to add them.
