Hello @meh1951,
Do the instructions that ATC give, match the taxiway layout in MSFS?

Taxiways in MSFS aren’t from real charts but ATC should match those that are generated in MSFS.

Perhaps this is a good post to mark with the “world-hub-candidate” tag to see if anyone can verify and update per the real charts.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

No

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

The taxi instructions match the taxiways signs in the sim (build 1.37.7.0)

The latest chart dated 02/22/24 - 03/21/24 also shows the changes shown in the taxiway signage as shown in the OP chart.
I agree with @BigCow74 that this post be marked with the “world-hub-candidate” by the OP.

BPFM is also got the same problem. AT taxi info (seems to be generic) does not match the chart for …

You might drive yourself mad if you keep looking, because there are probably thousands of airports like this. A.I. labeled taxiways. Most airports are not hand crafted.

Pretty sure this is one of the main drivers to have the World Hub to have humans (users) correct them.

Not really looking they just happen to be on my route. Thought I should report them.??

Definitely. And tag them for those intrepid and unsung heros of the world hub for potential updates.

It’s not really a bug but rather by design. The only taxiways that would match real world charts are the handcrafted airports.

I thought all the airport data was part of a database that the sim pulled from.

If you are referring to the regular AIRAC updates, that does contain a lot of info on airports, procedures, and navaids ( plus other stuff I’m sure) but taxiway definitions are not part of that. I wonder how they could even do that, if you look at a large international airport and all the taxi ways and intersections. Not sure how you would code that consistently across the world.

Try to code this up, and you might go mad!
