RC recognizes taxiways!?

Featured Replies

I landed at EGKK on RWY 26L(FS9 with Gatwick Extreme by Gary summons installed).I was using RC4.3. I exited the runway to the right and taxied slowly.At one point, either Tower or Ground correctly identified my position at E1, one of the runway exit points.I thought RC was not meant to deal with detailed taxi instructions. The only thing it does in this regard is indicate the direction to departure runways in the little RC window.Was I imagining this or what?Eytan

What do you mean by lucky? Is RC programmed to recognize taxiways or not?eytan

No it is not programmed to recognize taxiways. You just happened to beat what would seem to be impossible odds and had RC call out the same numbers at which you happened to be located. I've had RC call out the same barometer setting as I was using. Eerie, but just happenstance.

The absence of positive ground control with RC4 irritates me to en end, hoping RC5 will have it.
