and yet it's done in an aesthetically pleasing and tasteful manner.

If i could toggle it on and off thru the ATC menu like P3D, I would be happy.

You can by pushing ESC, going into the Assistance menu, toggling it, saving the setting and then returning to flight. Not cumbersome at all.

I couldn’t find any option to toggle, only switch on or off.

That's what I meant by toggle. I find it annoying to have to go into a separate menu to switch it on and off... would be nicer if there was a button in the sim itself

toggling is easier, I like the idea.  I think they should have at least had the option like FSX did.

Next task would be to stop it glowing through the bodywork into the cockpit and also prevent it being reflected in the windscreen - it's virtual, so it shouldn't do that.

Based on what I’ve observed about the graphics engine, that’s not possible. The reflections reflect everything in the rendered 3D world, they can’t exclude things.

They would have to make the arrows an overlay 2D HUD element some how to stop them from reflecting.

Same with the glows, the cockpit is part of the same 3D world as the ribbon, so it’s going to receive the colour. No way to exclude that without the cockpit losing all the other light from the world.

Reflection isn't a big deal to me. I thought it was funny.  Theres nothing remotely realistic about using the taxi ribbon anyway.

It's too bad the taxiway signs are so hard to read, though. I have to zoom in and pause to read them sometimes. Hopefully they make them bigger and clearer. I never had any trouble reading taxiway signs in FSX.

Here's a really cool thought that might be compatible w/ the issue you bring up:  simply illuminate a soft glow in the midline of the Progressive Taxi indicator.  Subtle, effective.  They don't even need to do arrows--just a soft fuzzy centerline in green or whatever color, just opaque enough to be visible even at high noon on a clear day.  Toggleable w/ a keystroke.
