Real Taxiways

If i understand the manual correctly, this behavior is expected on Handcrafted Airports

Unfortunately, double sided dynamic signs are not possible in MSFS, so I've had to do the best with what is possible within the simulator. I have tailored my new sign models to minimize thickness and any z-fighting when compared to the default models, however.

@Black-Square Hi Nick, Thanks for your update and for all the effort you put into Real Taxiways. I often fly routes in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region (India, Maldives, Middle East connections). At the moment, taxiway data in these areas is quite limited, and I think it would add a lot of value if Real Taxiways could eventually expand there. I know the majority of users are based in the US and Europe, but there are also many players who enjoy flying outside those regions. Even if not as popular, adding coverage for South Asia or parts of Asia would really help bring more realism to flights in those areas. Just wanted to share this as feedback — I’d be very happy to see these regions considered in the future. Thanks again for your hard work!

@bspline Assuming we're talking about the new updated manuals, I added this question to the FAQ: "Will Real Taxiways signs models/textures interfere with other addons? There are several other addons that attempt to improve the appearance only of taxiways signs. Real Taxiways is not compatible with these addons, because it requires its own custom taxiway sign textures to create all the enhanced features listed in this manual." For an expanded answer, Real Taxiways has always required those custom textures to work, since it adds many new types of taxiway signage. In the original 2020 versions, you had make sure these textures were installed separately, while it's done as part of the same package in 2024 (and now also 2020). As long as Real Taxiways has priority over these other packages, its signs will display correctly. However, you can still use any other airport enhancement addons with Real Taxiways, as they will still enhance other aspects of the scenery, just not the taxiway sign textures. I hope that makes sense. I'm happy to help you figure out any compatibility questions you might have.

These 2024 versions of Real taxiways are all available now to buy from the Just Flight website. Marketplace versions will follow. Reminder that current owners of any of the 2020 versions qualify for a 25% discount for the new version. You will have received an email covering this.

I've added that to the list for the next update. Thank you.

Interesting! I wonder how that happened. I might have been something in an old version of the default airport that was carried over to later Real Taxiways updates, since my software won't automatically rename taxiway signs if the underlaying airport data changes. I've been working on getting you a new file for KMEM for about an hour, but it appears that Asobo has changed how the external package builder works since last time I compiled updates for Real Taxiways, and it now causes the simulator's launcher to hang... I think I have a working file for you now, but now the problem is getting it to you. These forums are very limited regarding what file types and sizes we can transfer for obvious security reasons. I've been meaning to try this temporary file hosting service that can host small files for a maximum of six days. Please try this download link, and just replace the corresponding file (it sounds like you already know where to find it). KMEM.BGL Let me know how it goes!

Excellent. Glad it's working for you. I've updated the link to download the file again for anyone who runs across this in the future.

make me think I did the editing (replacing) texture mentionned in the workaround with the fs-base folder, in order to remove the MMMM and get black back sign, and forgot to actualise the layout.json I don't know if having inconsistency in size file or number may impact performance, but I guess it's worth it doing it, perhaps this should be added to those steps... (maybe this have 0 impact and I may be wrong, if having *.bak file listed in the json could lead to issue, btw kept a save of the initial layout.json)

@blokkie It works like a charm…

That's an issue I've noticed too. Unfortunately not even a remote idea for a fix, as even removing the airport files does not help. It hasn't bothered me too much, but can see how it'd be really annoying for some. I am 99% sure the problem is within the runway textures, included in the Optional Textures, and if that is the case it would need changes done by the developers.

@derek thank you i have posted a ticket

think with p2a you may have to rescan the scenery using make runways and taximnt in p2a or you will have to edit the airport in p2a your self

@bills2013gt Yep, all squared away.

@derek Definitely, which is what I was hoping to convey to folks on the MSFS forum, but I guess that didn't come across properly unfortunately. I'm happy to remove my statements over there if that would be helpful?

@derek Hi, I do not know if this product interests several people to date but it would be interesting for me in Canada. Thank you Christian

I think an update would be great. I
