I am nearly there with my flyby wire,set up, to make it one more step realistic, i need Your help, how, where, can i get a working Taxi way chart that shows taxi route to the active RWY, in red, plus planes position.
Regards Brian
LittleNavMap, Simtoolkitpro, Navigraph etc should do this.

Volanta could also do it too.
Yes there are a lot of payware and freeware apps for to see your airports diagram.
I use volanta (ORBX freeware) simply by zooming on your departure or arrival airport you can see your aircraft position and the taxi ways and runways.
Thx does volanta plan your route in red to active??
What do you mean with „route in red“?
Hi there! I’ve modified your topic title to reflect what your topic is about.
I highly recommend Navigraph displayed on a tablet to the left of your setup to closely emulate a cockpit setup. Yes, Navigraph is subscription based, but once I tried it, I can’t imagine flying without it. It’s not expensive and it gives you exactly what you are looking for. Added bonus, the WT CJ4 and FBW A320 are integrating the Navigraph charts into the built in systems.

As far as I know there’s no program that will trace out the route from the gate to the runway on the chart.
However, any of the tools listed (Navigraph, Volanta etc) will show you exactly where you plane is, and then you can look at the chart while you taxi.
Of course you can also turn on the taxi helper inside MSFS to get the blue arrows to help you that way.

There’s many airports in MSFS that don’t match real world taxiway designators and thus using charts (even if available for that airport) might not match.
I use LittleNavMap, it reads the database from MSFS and when zooming in, it shows the same designators that MSFS ATC is using. Make sure to re-import the data after each MSFS update and each scenery you install or update.
You’ll have to find the route yourself, but it’s not that hard.
Here’s a video on how it is done with proper charts (but it works with LittleNavMap pretty similarly), though the audio is a bit bad. But you’ll get the point:
There’s also a tiny taxi ribbon mod that will make the taxi ribbon really small.
I use the tiny version with green colour. So it can blend well as if it’s a green taxiway centrelights.
Thank you for your reply, it was while watching the simflt Deluxe,channel, the German guys you tube,he has a good way of teaching, it was him who taught me on X plane 11
How to get scenery from Oscar pilots add on and How to get the Zibo mod. He had up on screen yesterday, a taxi way chart, and after given instruction from ATC, it showed in RED plane position, and route to active. Which i thought would be better than the thick blue line im currently using, but as of writing now i think you may be right, maybe he drew the line, while making the vid,
Thank you, and a big thanks to all advice from those who replied, i will look at
Navigraph,as i have an accout.
It also depends on the ATC you are using. If it’s s the ingame ATC, it’ll tell you different names for Taxiways.
MSFS airports don’t have correct taxiway naming. Navigraph won’t help you in this case. But Little Navmap does. Because Little Navmap uses the scenery of MSFS with the same names.
Another way could be Pilot2ATC. It replaces the ingame ATC and can show you roughly on its own map where you are supposed to roll when taxiing.
Closing as OP provided a “solution”.
