Try the main options from the world screen, or hit Esc during a flight.
In the “Assistance Options” there, under “Navigation Aids”, you should be able to select “Taxi Ribbon”.
Is there anyway to toggle the “ribbon” on and off? It really kills immersion to have it on all the time but at some larger airports, it’s quite difficult to find your way around, especially the generic ones that don’t have gate markings displayed.
Taxi ribbon is not working for me upon landing and it is turned on in settings. It’s always been somewhat sporadic, but now isn’t working at all. I am on the current beta.
Main menu; have not turned it on or off from the toolbar. Sometimes I think it’s an issue with particular airports, but it’s not working at all for me right now.
Are you talking about the assistance taxi ribbons or are you talking about being able to contact ground to get taxiing instructions?
I’ve found that the majority of my flights for the past two days have not had the option to ask ground for instructions to gate/parking.
I can’t figure out what is going on. I land, exit the runway, get the handoff to ground, tune ground, but then my options are only for taxi for takeoff and ground services.
This has happened at a number of airports in both CA and Mexico. I’m not understanding why.
Weird, I’m flying the CRJ to a bunch of airports, primarily in the US Northeast (both stock and add-ons), and have never had any issues contacting ground to get taxi instructions to the gate. The taxi instructions themselves are usually (but not always) very vague but they always provide the gate number. Then it’s on me to try to find it!
I have no add-on airports. All stock MSFS airports. Mostly small regional/municipal airports.
Again, this is a new thing for me. It has always worked before. The one change, however, is I’m flying IFR in the EMB 110. Prior to this, I rarely flew IFR and focused on VFR in smaller GA aircraft to the same sorts of airports.
It may be airport specific.
I have noticed this happening at some smaller airports.
I doubt it’s the 110, try another airplane at the same arrival airport to confirm.
Dont know if it has been mentioned but the free “littlenavmap” allows you to zoom in to taxiway level and see where the parking spots are. I started using it when my taxi guide arrows disappeared as well.
After landing, I generally like to turn on the AI assistance only for taxi ribbon once ATC gives me taxi instructions for ground. But it is greyed out in the box (which opens using the tool bar on top of the screen - white arrow).
I have all AI options in the menus disabled apart from the taxi ribbon. I’m also using the FBW A320 and I always get the blue directional ribbon displayed on taxis for departure and arrival.
Is it disabled in your menus (AI options)? If so, that might be why it’s greyed out.
After landing and clearing the runway, it appears by itself for me, but I still acquire taxi clearance via ATC.
