To all ATC knowledged people: Yesterday, i controlled EGCC ground and many people requested taxiing to specific stand after landing. I always replied „taxi to parking“, but is there a more specific response relying on the specific stand?
Second question: If I use the „drag and taxi“ option, i can‘t really refigure the route because my map is always moving. Is there a solution?
Hello, welcome to the community!
The D&T feature can be used in a few different ways, one of which you mentioned. If someone requests a specific stand/gate to taxi to you can click on the plane and at the top it should have that specific spot requested. Click on that and it will auto generate a route that will show on yours and their screen. You can move the nodes on the map when dragging it to change which taxiways it goes on. This is especially beneficial as the game often times doesn’t generate a very efficient route. Mostly it uses the fastest direct path, but that leads to lots of turns which end up taking longer. You can also use the D&T feature to give them taxi instructions to the runway. Just like the gate you click on the plane, select the runway, then adjust as needed.
As for your issue with the map moving, make sure the route is being drawn and you’re clicking on the nodes to adjust it. If you click slightly off, it will move the map instead. If you haven’t already seen this video I recommend checking it out! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you!
Just so you know, there are only specific airports that allow this I am certain
yea, not every airport has this feature. you can see map of airports that have this feature here.
