Really enjoying the new build!
I have only one small issue though- When I arrive at my destination, the parking assignment is sometimes wrong- I used to have no assigned parking, and could taxi to whatever gate assigned by VATSIM- now I can't deplane and end the flight, since the ACARS unit is waiting for me to park at the assigned spot. Is there anyway to "clear" the assigned parking once assigned, so that I can go where I please?

Hi:
If you get yourself to the default page (the one that gives you your ETE and feedback as it pertains to your scheduled time), a "PARKING" button should appear after you've landed (it's not there before, so make sure you check again after touchdown!). If I remember the page correctly, it should tell you where the closest gate is and give you options to either remove the previous assignment (allowing you to park anywhere) or issue you a new assignment.
Disclaimer: I haven't run FS Captain in a few days, so this "new build" may be newer than what I used last. I'm on version 1.6.2. My apologies if my response is no longer valid.

bjratchf: it might be that the new version overwrote some of your options. You can select whether a specific gate is required or not in the options for your airline. dever23b: 1.6.2 is kind of outdated, the new version has much more to offer. I would suggest to switch to 1.7 as soon as the RC comes out (hopefully soon). Cheers, Peter

What Dever and Peter said.
Once you land (at what is perceived to be your arrival airport) you should have a new button on the main flight page - PARKING. (Starting with 1.7.0, you will automatically be sent to this main menu upon landing anywhere.)
You can use the PARKING menu to get a reassignment or to CLEAR your assignment to allow you to park at any location.
If there are no parking spots that can fit your aircraft, you should be told to park anywhere....
ZIP and email us your \FSCaptain\Data\Logs\ folder and we'll look to see if any of your options have changed.
You can disable "assigned parking" globally on the Options For all Airlines tab, or on the Airline tab for an individual airline.

Ah I see that now! Yes- that was the "clear"function I was looking for. I had unticked the "assigned parking" box but for some reason it wasn't carrying over to my flights.

Based on the pics you provided, it appears that you do NOT have assigned parking enabled. Just speculation, but perhaps the behavior you are experiencing is because once you're occupying a spot, the software then starts showing you the next closest spot. Note that the software is only advising you of what the nearest gate is; you don't actually have an assigned gate in any of these screenshots.

In other words, I think you need only set the parking breaks and shut down to complete your flight.

I have the same issue as bjratchf.
If the flight really ends, why you cannot proceed?
I have cross-checked the flight log data in the admin, but there the actual completed flight does not appear.

Captains,
Please send us your FCDU logs for these flights.

Curious: did you guys by any chance change your scenery at the affected airports? You might need to rebuild FS Captain's scenery database (it's not automatically synced with FS). If there's a disconnect between the two, it could explain FSC not thinking you're in a parking space.

I rebuilt scenery database on install of 1.7.0 R2 and made sure Assigned parking was turned off on ALL Airlines and the current Airline. I emailed the FCDU log file.

I have your log and I've eliminated the Administrator already.
Whatever is happening is in the FCDU and this is my top priority today.

Hopefully this too has been fixed. Alpha testing has started....
