I’m now kind of curious what was updated for KGRB since it’s my home airport. I did notice a few updates back that the parking was updated so I can now pull straight out after spawning in, instead of being nosed toward the grass and requiring a pushback. That was welcomed.
Yes, parking, especially offset-style GA parking needs to be more like that. The original AI did not know how to do that when creating airport parking and I hope they’ve trained the new AI in 2024 to do it that way. But we also will need a way to push back into those spots after we’ve shut the aircraft down.
Fair enough, but I’m perfectly happy to pull in and let the night shift figure it out while I’m asleep. Lol
This update reset all my preferences to their default values 
KGRB was updated using the World Hub in stages, with three versions to date:
Version 1 included:

I wonder if this could be a “Cloud Sync” issue? If so, you might try a couple things mentioned in this link.
