Here is a link to an AOPA powerpoint guide to airport signage...there is also material in the learning center in FSX that can help you out.http://download.aopa.org/asf/fcards.ppt

I wasn't the one asking for this and haven't had any trouble following taxi signs in FSX, but that's a very informative link nonetheless. Thanks! :)

At most airports I find it pretty hard to find my way around using just the signs. It becomes a whole lot easier if you use the airport diagram; once you have that the signs suddenly make sense. You can get a lot of them from http://chartfinder.vatsim.net, among other places.

I second that-I would never taxi around without the airport diagram in my lap. Then you can always do what I do when at a complicated unfamiliar airport-ask for progressives.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpgForum Moderatorhttp://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

Geof and others,Do you know if the AOPA sign standards are used worldwide? Or is this USA only, or USA/Canada, etc.?RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian
