Airport Markings

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

I don't have FS2002...I have FS2004 and it has runway markers and taxiway
signs. However, due to the limitations of the monitor, I don't rely on
them, but use the 'progressive taxi' line provided in the 'ground ATC menu'.
I'm not sure if FS2002 has this feature, but if it doesn't, I'm sorry
because I know I would be totally lost without it. When selected, the
'progressive taxi' creates a magenta, broken line to follow which eliminates
the need to read the signs and prevents you from getting lost. Check to see
if you have it, and if you do, use it.

Good Luck,
Arthur

When I first landed IRL at big airport in a tiny C152 (it was Fort
Lauderdale Exec) I could really have done with that magenta line IRL !
ISTR that the taxiway signs were one of the big 'wish list' items for FS
2004 and one of the reasons why many people upgraded to it. If anyone out
there is still using only FS2002, I would strongly recommend that you
upgrade to FS2004. It needs a little more CPU power but not much. But it is
a quantum leap, and will help to make you ready for the next step. I am sure
it can be bought quite cheaply now.

Hi Bill

I use an almost default version of FS2002, and you're quite right: the
ground markings are indeed quite feeble.

Switching from the 2D to the Virtual cockpit view does seem to help a
little. However, like you and others, I agree that those pink
progressive arrows are the way to go ... unfortunately.

Some time ago there was a website: www.TaxiwaySigns.com
where a number of FS2002 taxiway sign scenery were available
for download. Here's the local collection of taxiway sign addins..
