Guys I was Lucky to get this good of a report. I don't know if I found a bunch of Bugs in 1.2.Beta 6 Last night I arrived at KJBR Jonesboro , Arkansas. I landed my Saab 340 with my cargo and Pax and FCOM said go to ramp and unload? I have a AFCAD program So I turned it on and saw it was a small airport with very few parking spots. So I pulled into one and FCOM just set there with no info on what to do?? I moved around to other parking spots?? I could see were I was looking at my AFCAD and could see my plane. It was right on a parking area So I guess I had no other choice then cancel the flight Pilot error. I would not let me unload? So I cancel the flight on that reason? Shut the plane down and turn off pwr to FCOM. And just happen to turn pwr back on FCOM. And to my surprise and shock It said unload the Flight 1406 which I did. I and you can see the result. There is another Long story how I got to KJBR. I was flying a Saab 340 and made a lot of mistakes Learning the A/C Using the Auto Pilot was a nightmare. So did I find bugs ?? Not sure or was it me who messed it up.? I may fly the Saab back to INDY or may take the DC3C. Lane

Lane,
What you found was that the message to "Set Brakes" and "Shut Down Engines" were removed from Beta 6.
That was in response to bugs where they were popping up as soon as you stopped after leaving the taxiway before getting to your gate.
I probably need to put something obvious back in there to let people know when they have arrived at their destination.
Until I do you will know when the heading and distance info vanishes from the display -- this means you have arrived.
You can also use the new "F2=Parking" page to get more into on where you are and what the status is.

Lane,
Unless there's been a change that I've missed (which isn't impossible) I think Dutch is referring to the Parking line that you'd see on the Information page (F2) that you access from the Progress page (F3) that's on the main Flight Status page you would see in flight.

Yep -- that's it. During flight you see "F2=Divert to KXYZ" there. But if you're required to park, when you land that'll change to F2=Parking to lead to a parking page that hopefully is helpful Also -- restored the instructions to set parking brake & shut down engines, but they are shown appropriately now.

Thanks Dutch, For restoring the instructions to set parking brakes and shut down engines. If I had done that I may avoided the problems I had with Flt 1406 parking . Lane
