even $25 makes sense, but $40, I rather buy the DC-6 for a few extra dollars.

Perhaps it did involve many hours of work to hand craft the individual airport taxi signs (although I'd imagine some sort of data source and some level of automated process was involved).... however, input workload does not change output value, unfortunately.  In my personal opinion, the price is quite staggering for a taxi signage mod for only one country.

But I'm sure others will value it more and enjoy it, and good on them.  If you really value accurate taxi signage then it may well be worth more to you.  For me, I'd download it enthusiastically if it was free on flightsim.to 😄 ... but I'm not sure I'd pay anything more than a few dollars / quid for it.

Maybe it's me, but I feel this should already come out of the MSFS box from Asobo.

I really like what I see and I have to say that I am borderline wanting to purchase this BUT.........it's not enough to fork out the $40.  If they had more regions or if they addressed other things such as the lights and such it could push me over the fence, but not enough to justify the high expense.

I imagine an add-on for the latest Bus Simulator: 40$ for stop signs at each crossing. Sounds somehow ridiculous…

what, 40$ for each stop sign?

some of the signs are not hand placed, but based on an AI or algorithm or something according to the documentation. They use FAA guides on where signage should be. So some will not match IRL positions exactly. But the labels should be accurate.

It should....  it's kind of embarrassing that it didn't.  Got home now, planning to buy it soon enough.

Give them a break. They're busy adding new features.

Alaska738, thanks for those screenshots! They do seem readable. I will compare them to what I see in my sim and see if it's worth it. I just wish the price was more reasonable, perhaps like $15 would make more sense.

You're right 15$ would've been a good deal!

Night test.

Where does that argument end though?  Should have come with a study level aircraft, should have come with accurate runway textures, should have come with worldwide 5m terrain?

Out of the box MSFS was a great leap forward and welcomed by all.  It doesn't need addons, but they do add depth and realism to the sim.  IMHO having taxiway lights all over the place and incorrect taxiways designations spoilt the experience.  I fly on PilotEdge and hearing the controller say 'exit on Mike', but that doesn't exist or isn't signed spoils immersion.

The fact is, MSFS doesn't contain correct taxiways or signage, so to have an option to fix this is welcome.  I would prefer a slightly high price rather than not have the option.

a pity these signs don't emit light like the blue taxi lights do, seems only wet surfaces reflect the lights at night. looks somewhat unreal. also the signs and letters look too polished and clean. but that will come later in the professional version I am sure. 

also the font should be bold, like here

real taxiway sign:

why missing glow effect at night when it is possible?

You just can't please everyone these days. It's always something. 1st it was the taxiway signs are too difficult to see, etc. So they made this addon, and now certain people are saying it's too clean. Lol, seriously? And then when they release an update to make the signs a bit worn and less clean, people will say it's too dirty looking and hard to read. A never-ending cycle.
