For fun, see if you can 4 wheel your way, taxing out to Runway 1, Tampa (KTPA)

So, I started a fight from Tampa to Miami…Follow ATC taxi instructions out to Runway 1 (in red)…Well, apparently the taxi way has a huge pothole or sinkhole in the middle of it (in green). Go at a normal taxi rate, you bounce so hard, you crash. Go slow and you will get stuck…as in your plane will sink into the taxiway…I was stuck so bad…at full throttle, somehow I was moving backwards…lol. I was determined not to restart so after 5 minutes of alternating between full throttle and full rudder deflections, I finally freed myself…

Is that pot hole there IRL? Why the heck hasn’t it been fixed? lol

Pretty sure it’s a FS ground issue…lol. I can’t imagine a major airport like Tampa having a sink hole in the middle of a taxiway…haha. One other thing that is funny, is once you get around it and make it Runway 1, off in the distance their is road that goes up at like a 45 degree angle vertically…lol

haha they should keep it then as an obstacle like the airport ran out of maintenance funding or something

It’s been that way from the beginning. Every update I send in another bug report. The problem is between J2 and L somewhere around the fire station.

That particular taxiway is the one that ATC will send you down 90% of the time.
