request taxi to the gate ? or maybe not

Request 'Taxi to gates' instead of 'Taxi to parking.'

nope its not that i know what to select when i land i allways pick taxi to the gate not taxi to parking

Are you landing at a big airport?

Have you tried Afcad2 ➡

https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/1232/afcad-221-for-fs2004/

With this little prog you can easily change the parking at any airport

no i will try that thanks maybe i shold mention that i have ultamate traffic but even before i got that i was never sent to the gate

yea sorry i have laned at manchester and jfk and frankfurt and heathrow and they all do the same

What types of aircraft were you flying?? If you land with a small general aviation aircraft they may send you a remote general aviation "gate",
rather than a big gate for airliners. 😉

I use Traffic2004 and Afcad2 is on the install disc

It may be simply that you have too much traffic and all the gates are taken

With Afcad2 you can do allsorts of things from simply moving or adding more parking,extra taxiways,ILS to non ILS airports/fields Even extra runways or a whole new airfield(no buildings)

i have laned with boeings 777 and 757 and a330 all big planes and there is alot of gates free and empty cos i pass them but atc send me to parking i tried the afcad for the website show above and i laned at frankfurt just now and it sent me to gate 111 it said but it didnt have a airbridge or nothing it was i think cargo ramp 😞 am using word airports 2 and ultamate traffic and the afcad file from that website should i unload ultamate traffic and just try the afcad ??

i just changed the settings in ultamate traffic for parking and selected the plane i was using a330 200 and picked gate as a parking and myt as a sign i pressed insert on both and then saved it and did a compile i loaded a flight that i saved on approach to manchester (egcc) landed and the atc sent me to remote again on T3 if u know the manchester layout then its the parking in the middle where the virgin jumbo is most days on T3 that am beeing sent to is this classed as gate ? i dont think it

Leave your traffic program alone

Not many default airports in fs9 have airbridges
If you want airbridges at certain airports you will have to d/load add on scenery
Here is one of the best sites for finding you scenery ➡

http://walhalla.mine.nu/fs2004.php

It only links you to the sites(you will see a lot of them are at flightsim.If you do get on to the site,try the scenery map finder)

i think maybe i found out why its doing it. i uninstalled word airports 2 and it sent me to a real gate not parking then i put it back on and it sent me to parking ? any help on why it does this

Seems the issue is with World Airports Neo. -Here is a link to Gameworld Network that has a discussion forum that includes users of World Airports 2. --Need 2 register.
