Since I always get lost at large airports, I use progressive taxi. Have you guys notice that it always takes you to the fuel depot, no matter what option you select?

 

Thanks

Works just fine for me - to the runway that ATC assigns.

Ahhh. Should've been more clear. I meant when landing and leaving the runway to park.

 

Thanks

Once ATC instructs to contact "Gound", I click the ATC for ground frequency, ATC then shows "taxi to gates", taxi to parking", etc.  I click taxi to gates, ATC then instructs to follow such and such to gate so and so.  In the ATC window, I click on Progressive Taxi - yellow lines come on, and I follow them to assigned gate.

 

Works fine for me.

No problems here either.

I'm clicking taxi to gates and the yellow lines always takes me to a fuel depot or fuel truck. Oh well, not a gamebreaker.

Wow - not ever seen this with FSX - P3D 1.3/1.4/2.0/2.1....

Learn something new every day.

 

Good luck on finding a solution.

Ah... there will often be a fuel truck nearby when you taxi to a gate.  That doesn't mean anything.  If the fuel truck isn't already there, he will arrive shortly.

Well progressive taxi did not work at all in version 2.0!

Hello whammo11224,

My friend, I "stand" corrected. You're absolutely right - at least during this phase I started using airport diagrams and learned "a little" about navigating the airport markers etc. 

But, I have never heard or seen the progressive taxi always take you to fueling ? 

I sure would like to know what's causing your issue.

 

Good luck,

Tom

Thank you Tom. It's weird, but not game breaking as I said. If I knew how to make videos I would certainly post one. I'll keep checking, maybe my mouse is slipping ... I don't know, just grasping at straws.

From the "whatever it's worth department:"

 

Yesterday I landed a 737-200C in FSX and was initially assigned to a parking spot in front of the fuel pumps. Only after coming to a full stop (which topped off the tanks!) was I then offered the option to "Taxi to (a) Gate" or "Taxi to Parking..."

 

So, it's not just a P3D issue! :blush:

Just a suggestion but have you tried using GSX? It will despatch a Follow Me wagon to take you to your gate

No Rick, I have not tried GSX. Although I use FSX and P3D every day, I rarely have time to actually "fly" in either one of them.

 

Anyway, the main point was that P3D isn't unique with regards to Progressive Taxi, it has inherited the same behavioral quirks from its parent! :LMAO:

Not sure if it might be of internet, but back then when I was new to simulators I always flew Antonov An-24 turboprop in FS9. And at every airport I arrived on, progressive taxi always lead me to a cargo area for every single flight. And not only this, usually, those cargo areas were very far away from where I landed and it wasn't rare to taxi for 30 minutes at large airports to my "gate" by the logistics.
