that sucks. but what if the tower gives you a gate number like in multiplayer?
They don't cos they don't know either. Usually there should be a "Progressive Taxi" or something like that and it goes up to (or at least close to) the gate.
Yeah, you have to turn on progressive taxi or the ATC won't know your at a gate because they expect you go go to the one they said. Anywhere else and it thinkgs your still taxiing and your ATC menu will not allow other commands.
