Erik Mueffler 972060 Posted October 9, 2006 at 07:37 PM Posted October 9, 2006 at 07:37 PM Are there yellow taxiway lines at airports in X-Plane? I've been looking everywhere but I only see these at two custom scenery airports which I downloaded (EDDL end EDDM). At any other airport I've been to, the layout of the taxiways is basically correct, but there are no yellow lines, which is a bit inconvenient when flying on-line. Am I doing anything wrong? If no, how do other people deal with this? (I'm on X-Plane 8.50 RC3 and global scenery) Thanks for your help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Hall 933426 Posted October 25, 2006 at 04:19 PM Posted October 25, 2006 at 04:19 PM I'm still on 7.63 and I have never seen the yellow taxi lines but then I haven't downloaded much custom scenery. I don't find not having them too much of a problem. I usually have the aerodrome charts anyway and specify that I am using X-plane in my flight plan since the ATC sector files are written for that other visual flight game. 8) If it has a location then its GIS!

Graham Sanders 892576 Posted November 1, 2006 at 12:05 PM Posted November 1, 2006 at 12:05 PM Hi, I use a chart, which I have open with Preview and just switch between the chart and xplane. Also I write something like "using Mac, no taxiway info" in the comments box of xsqwarkbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Smith Posted November 1, 2006 at 03:35 PM Posted November 1, 2006 at 03:35 PM The ability to render taxiway markings (lines, signs, hold short lines, etc) was added to the core engine in 8.50. There is currently only one stock airport that has the markings in the airport database, and that's KSBD. The rest of the airports will follow as users take the time to contribute and make the changes. In the mean time, your best bet, as before, is to either have two screens, using the second to open the airport diagrams in another window, or print the chart in advance of your flight. Using the former technique, I rarely have trouble getting around at airports that I'm unfamiliar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Steele 953544 Posted November 1, 2006 at 04:14 PM Posted November 1, 2006 at 04:14 PM Another option available if you have GoodWay is to create and load a flight plan - the aircraft charts are included in the flightplan and can be called up from the MAPS menu. I generally use that screen to see where I am and use the FAA Airport Diagrams to get the actual taxiway designations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
