Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I'm interested if there is a default Delta Terminal/Gate at Departure/Arrival airports. I know that's somewhat ridiculous to determine what gates are used at each and every airport that Delta flies to, but I'm interested what people use to determine this.

I've seen 1 or 2 sceneries, all for FS9, that have a Delta gate in them, but not for FSX.

I suppose the simplest would be to go to flightaware.com and seeing what gate a particular flight departed from for a given airport.

For instance: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/DAL2177

If you type your flight number into Google - such as DL3411 - often you will see the Gate # if the flight is active and recent.

One problem though, unless our DVA flight number is currently being flown from the correct departure/arrival flight, you can't really figure anything out. So I decided to just look at any flight from a given airport and note the gate that it departed from. I'll probably try to use that in the future when I use that airport as my departure point.

That's actually what I meant. You can plug in the ICAO code for any airport at the end of this URL in order to get the current activity with that airport as an arrival or departure:

Then pick one of the Delta flights on the list (assuming it's an airport Delta serves) with the same aircraft type as yours and use that gate.
