Tool to create "directional" taxiways

Featured Replies

Hi everyone,

 

I'm not sure whether the sense of the topic is clear to you, but I didn't know how to formulate it... I'll try to explain it :D

 

What I want to find is the tool that would allow me to assign directions in which planes taxi on a different taxiways. For example when you look at some aerodrome movement charts on some taxiways aicrafts are allowed to taxi in both directions while on others, only in one direction. For example if there are two parallel taxiways one is used by planes taxiing, say, to the west while the other one by planes taxiing to the east. I would like to simulate such ground movement principles in FS.

 

I hope you understand what I mean :D Any of you knows whether there is such a utility?

 

I'd be really grateful for help! :)

But still, if anyone here knows the answer I would really appreciate any help :D

I believe it is possible but takes a lot of work. You basically create two layers of taxiways - one for arriving and one for departing. If I recall there is a Wiki over at FSDeveloper and some white papers on the subject. You will need to have some good experience with with"AFCADS" in general before attempting this I would think.

Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)  Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11),  EVGA 1300W PSU
