Jacques Schenk Posted August 17, 2015 at 04:30 PM Posted August 17, 2015 at 04:30 PM How can I increase the size of the taxiway annotations like W W7 etc. (excuse me if I use the wrong term) In Euroscope I went to Other Settings -> Symbology settings -> Ground network -> Taxiway but I can change collor, size etc, but nothing will change on the screen. I managed to enable runwaynumbers and treir size but for taxiways it isn't working. What am I doing wrong ? Thanks Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pike Posted August 17, 2015 at 07:34 PM Posted August 17, 2015 at 07:34 PM Taxiway names (as well as holding points and stand numbers) are usually done with "free text". The settings are in Symbology->Other->Freetext Mike Pike VATSIM-UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Hamilton 1215492 Posted August 17, 2015 at 08:28 PM Posted August 17, 2015 at 08:28 PM But changing freetext size will change all of them not just taxi ways. And because the stands are very close to each other it can make a mess. Ned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Jelle Posted August 18, 2015 at 02:24 PM Posted August 18, 2015 at 02:24 PM To me it is the only way to do it - I haven't heard of any other possibilities. Morten Jelle VATSIM Network Supervisor, Team Lead - Supervisor Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:00 PM Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:00 PM That's why it is still best to have a ground chart readily available, either printed or on a second screen, if available.

Jacques Schenk Posted August 23, 2015 at 04:46 PM Author Posted August 23, 2015 at 04:46 PM Yes it seems to be the free text indeed. it looks like they used the wrong layer to put the taxiway annotations on, so now you can't change them independently from a lot of other text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grzegorz Skrzypczak 135777 Posted August 18, 2017 at 09:54 AM Posted August 18, 2017 at 09:54 AM Another question about different colours of freetext. I saw on some airports that stand numbers have different colours. Is it possible to put some freetext in different colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just a type used in the sector files. I increased the size of my free text as well. Gates are close to each other for me, but I really like this size!

Wenjun Zhou Posted August 21, 2017 at 03:05 AM Posted August 21, 2017 at 03:05 AM Another question about different colours of freetext. I saw on some airports that stand numbers have different colours. Is it possible to put some freetext in different colour? You can do that with the [LABELS] section in sct file. Example: #define definedColor 39423 [LABELS] "P0" N040.04.24.560 E116.34.30.170 definedColor "P1" N040.04.31.747 E116.34.29.551 definedColor "P2" N040.04.45.419 E116.34.27.311 definedColor or [LABELS] "P0" N040.04.24.560 E116.34.30.170 39423 "P1" N040.04.31.747 E116.34.29.551 39423 "P2" N040.04.45.419 E116.34.27.311 39423 Then you just need to enable Free Text - SCT2 in Display Settings of EuroScope. Just be careful that [LABELS] cannot be sorted into different categories in Display Settings like [FREETEXT]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
