Taxiway signs
« on: November 25, 2020, 06:44:38 pm »
Hi all

Downloaded yesterday LSZH for MSFS2020; very nice scenery thanks.

Using the scenery today with the A320neo and taxiing around the airport it is very dificult to read the taxiwax signs because they are very small, to small to read when taxiing by.

Any possibility to make them double the size or an option to chosse the size?

Thanks

Peter - 7km from LSZH

It seems there's a bug in the sim or the editor that prevents to have bigger taxiway signs.

Hi Umberto

With yesterdays MSFS update all the taxiway signs in the standard scenery MSFS have made bigger and easier to read while taxing at the airports; now they are the right size also when you fly VATSIM.

Do you also modify (make bigger) now the taxiway signs  in your Zurich/LSZH scenery?

Thanks.

The simulator fix means we now CAN change the taxiway sign size.

Unfortunately, there's now a much worse bug in the simulator that is currently preventing us to do ANY change to ANY of our sceneries, because the compiler creates faulty .BGLS for some crucial elements an airport can't work without so, until MS/Asobo come out with a very fast Hotfix ( which I'm sure it will come out very soon, since there are probably hundreds of 3rd party airports that have issues with the latest update ), we can't work on anything right now.

The update is already online now, on the FSDT Live Update. We reduced the size at Basel too. In other airports, like KSDF or KORD, we used custom taxiway signs, which are unaffected by those changes.

Hi Umberto

I think that the size of the taxyway sign in Zurich now are perfect; thanks a lot.

Do you have any plans to add the "guidance gate system" in Zurich also to help docking at the gates with the airliners?

Thanks

Of course, with GSX for MSFS ( as it was with every other scenery we made ), which will also allow to add Docking systems everywhere.

Has the update to the taxiway signs been pushed to the marketplace version?

I just purchased this yesterday and noticed the signage still appears very small - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H6NczA7skzs4Yu5HIqP2-wSVTnYQetsn/view?usp=sharing

We sent every latest version of all our products to the Marketplace about the same day the Sim Update 5 came out, but there's no telling when they will be released.
