Hi, every time I control EGLL ground and select taxi route to 27L , the last part points in a strange direction.
When it is not crowded, I correct it, but when it is too busy, I send it as is. Sometimes obedient players have taxied in that strange direction.
Does anyone else have the same problem?

This is a frequent occurrence and is most likely a minor bug with the D&T feature at select airports. Most players will simply hold short of the line without finishing the taxi route.

You’re really lucky to have egll ground.
It’s better to send no taxi routing at all, instead of sending a rather flawed one. This kind of taxi routes should always be corrected before instructed. You can instruct the pilot to “taxi to runway xx” without the routing too, in that case the pilot decides the route themselves. But if it’s so busy that you can’t even manage to correct a taxi route, it’s usually a good indication that the traffic level is exceeding the controller’s capabilities.
