Hello, When I use the build in ATC I always get wrong taxi directions that doesn’t match the aiirport charts.
I also tried PILOT2ATC and also got wrong directions.The developer of P2A told me to ask Microsoft so I ask you microsoft about when FS2020 will get updated scenery data and also how can I taxi using airport chart when the default ATC and also Pilot2ATC gives me taxi instruction that don’t match the airport diagram ?

thanks.

You will need to lodge a request through Zendesk: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

Airports that are auto-generated have a generic set of taxiway numbers that will not match the charts you have. However, ATC will “usually” call the correct numbers for that airport, it just won’t match any chart. For hand crafted airports (starred), the taxi ways are much closer if not identical with the charts. PilotToATC uses the real world charts for taxiways which is why it doesn’t work for auto generated airports.

Best way to elevate this to the developers is with a Zendesk ticket.

Taxiways are not named properly for the vast majority of the airports in the sim.

Two possible work arounds:
Use the blue taxi assist ribbon from the ‘Assistance’ menu (may only work with default MSFS ATC, I am not sure/don’t have Pilot2ATC)

If you use the new LittleNavMap beta 2.6.1, it can load in the MSFS scenery database. Then you can zoom in and see the taxiway names used by the MSFS in an airport chart like format. (Make sure to turn off the Navigraph data that comes with LNM or it will show up instead of the MSFS data). You can also see all the procedures and airport info that MSFS is using. Until the nav data is more up to date on the sim, I am finding LittleNavMap invaluable.

I opened a ticket but are they have any plans to fix this and make the airports scenery like in real life ?

I don’t want to use the taxi ribbon because I want more realistic experience.
I use Navigraph charts along with Pilot2ATC but sometimes pilot2atc also gives incorrect taxiway instructions and one time he didn’t gave me at all.
