Hi guys, I've been playing with one of my afcad files and am trying to get 2 aircraft to pass thru' each other (not realistic I know!!) on the taxiway to alleviate head to heads. However I'm almost certain the aircraft are jumping across nodes even when not connected.Am I correct in thinking that an aircraft will find the shortest way to its parking stand? The strange is this that when I exaggerate the path it works but I when I move the nodes close together for realism the aircraft takes the route I

Yes, I would think that this is theoretically possible (FS senses the presence of the plane's contact points on the surface of the taxiway itself, not passing a given blue node). I don't remember ever seeing it, though. You may need to provide an apron route that is a little off center from the taxiway for the other route, to allow them to be separate.
