FOR PILOTS AND ASPIRING PILOTS
Real Taxiways aims to provide the best airport operations environment for virtual pilots looking to improve their proficiency, and for aspiring pilots learning the challenges of ground operations for the first time, by simulating the accurate placement of taxiway signs of all types and sizes that would reasonably be found at real airports around the world.
Users should find that airports covered by Real Taxiways regions are now navigable via real-world airport diagrams, the signs on the ground, most external moving-map programs and online ATC instructions.
TRULY UNIQUE EXPERIENCES
In the real world, no two airports are the same. Default airport signage in Flight Simulator has always been too rigid and uniform, yet add-on airports lack the consistency of the real world. Each Real Taxiways airport has a 'personality' generated for it, which dictates sign size, type, placement and variations used, as well as other parameters. Since these variations are applied on a runway-by-runway basis, there are so many possible combinations that almost every airport feels unique. This 'personality' may even vary from one side of the airport to another.
COVERAGE - UNITED STATES
The whole United States area, including Alaska and Hawaii, is covered by this add-on, but not the protectorates and outlying islands.
Class B, C, D & Non-towered airports
Class C and D airports include all towered airports in the United States except the 37 largest, which are Class B airports. Class C and D airports range in size from local airfields with a single runway, to large regional airports with expansive terminals, runways, and services which serve some of the largest population centres in North America; this is around 500 airports. The other half of the 1,000+ airports included in this version of Real Taxiways are Non-Towered airports, where there is no control tower to provide clearances, but the airports are still sufficiently large, complicated, and busy enough to necessitate taxiway signage or diagrams.
