Is anyone else having taxiway accuracy issues at o’hare? I’m using the default scenery package for o’hare and its wildly off from the charts. I know there is a ton of construction going on but I seem to be the only one getting called out for using the incorrect taxiways in vatsim so not sure if there’s another scenery package folks are using or just ignoring the taxi signs altogether and going off of chart exclusively.
Do you mean the scenery from the standard edition of MSFS2020, or do you you have the premium deluxe which has a bespoke KORD?
I’m pretty sure the standard non-bespoke airport taxiways and gates are procedurely generated so they don’t follow any real-world labels. I’m not as sure about the bespoke airports and if all of the various taxiways and gates are in fact labled per real-world (I would assume they are).
The other wildcard is O’Hare is constantly under construction and being updated, so things change much quicker than can be updated in the sim. I think the FSDT KORD package is quite outdated now, for example.
Apologies, I meant the bespoke version from premium deluxe
OK, so my answer, after looking a bit, is: “Kind of”
I used Little Nav Map to look at the taxiway names, and I compared that to the latest airport diagram on Chart Fox.
There are a million different taxiway intersections and routes, so I’m not going to look at them all, but generally speaking, it looks like the major taxiways parallel to the runways (D, E, G, N, P, W, etc…) are named correctly, but when you get to the terminal area where everything is crisscrossing and turning in every direction, things don’t always line up between these two sources.
Frankly I have no idea how real world pilots have any idea where to go. They obviously have Google Maps up so they know where they are going.
The chart subscriptions that IRL pilots have, which are very expensive, include charts that describe construction areas that are kept up to date so they can get around safely. Highly unlikely that anything we have access to, including our level of Jepp in Navigraph, will be this detailed and current.
Asobo don’t keep their “bespoke” airports up to date.
