    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Hey FSX gurus,

Why all of a sudden is the air traffic controller now sending me to "STANDS" versus "GATES"?
Never had this happen before...

Not sure. Do you use any addons which affect ATC? Do you use Edit Voicepack? Maybe you're just flying to airports without gates, or none available?

Cheers from Melbourne (Victoria, Aus.) :encouragement:
 
What airports? There are some things you can do to the aircraft.cfg that will help. What aircraft and airline are you flying? Keep in mind, that at some airports, they consider ramp parking with no jetway a gate.
 
Phraseology is entirely determined by the voice pack, so if you've used EditVoicePack recently, chances are that the ATC phrases were updated during the process.

Bjoern,
Yes, that was it. I used Edit Voice pack and it "updated" to international. So, I converted it back to US FAA phraseology.
It is sounding fine now.
Thanks,
Lee
 
Haha. I had never noticed before, but today I arrived at LFRS and was cleared to taxi to the "stand".

I have been using the phraseology as long as I remember, but have never noticed, or at least questioned, the word stand before.

According to EditVoicePack that is the International method versus the US FAA standard of Gate.

We Americans tend to prefer to be odd-man-out on such things.....:biggrin-new::playful:
