im very interested to see how this changes airports. Hopefully it’s a great add on and looks good. A little pricey but having nice looking and correct taxiway signs is a good thing (default out of the box msfs with this would have been nice)

It seems nice, but it's a little pricey imo.  Maybe JF will put in on sale in a couple of months.

It looks very well done but this really is one for the completists I think. I don't spend enough time on the ground to care too much about taxiway signage. 

I'm working all day but I'll buy that later tonight hopefully

One thing I never heard about this. Does ATC acknowledge the real taxiways in this addon or are they going to call out whatever it was at a default level despite the sign changes?

I wondered the same thing, the ad I saw seems to imply that which would mean this also fixes the airport file for all of these airports…that adds additional value IMHO.

Yeah I'm interested to see if it really cleans up all the weird things at airports.  I know my local KBUF has parking on the grass that shouldn't be there I don't think (wouldn't be a lot of fun in the winter), and GA spots right where the terminal is.  If this product cleans a lot of this kind of thing up, I will be interested for sure.  It supposedly also gets rid of those annoying lights that stick up right in the middle of taxiways and parking spots.  That always really annoys me.  I don't need ultra realism at every airport, but having to taxi over lights sticking out of the ground is just weird. 

It would be nice to turn off the taxi line as well.  That thing has a nasty habit of staying on for the whole flight.

Hopefully there's a review where someone does some good before and after comparisons. 

Pricey.  What I *wish* it did, for this much money would be to fix lighting based on time of day and weather conditions. 

• Correct the approach light systems too.  Some are just wrong.
• Runway lights and beacon off during the day when the airport is VFR. 
• Different runway light setting based on visibility.  HIRLs have 5 settings.  MIRLS, I believe, have 3. 
• In the real world, strobes aren't on *all the time* and aren't visible from every angle.

From the description I don't think this addon will fix that.  It seems to just place accurate taxi signage at the selected airports. Hopefully it would remove the tall taxi lights all over the taxiways.  You'd certainly hope so at the price!

I’m not a programmer of any kind and not sure what kind of effort would be involved to do this, but this seems to be way to expensive for what it is, if it’s just signs I’d say priced around 15$ would be fitting for this..

Before anyone gets bent out of shape on my 15$ uneducated evaluation, I’m not one to look to get everything free, and have no issues spending top dollar for quality add-ons. But pricing on this one is out to lunch imo.

They must have changed the scope of the project at some point, but I swear when it was first announced it said it would also update parking.

But looking at the description, yeah that’s not mentioned.

 

You can download the manual at the bottom of the page, it has more info.

Cool, but not enough for me to hand out 40 bucks to them. Let them get greedy and I'll grab it at some point when on sale.

Agreed,

Certainly not worth $50.49 CDN !!
