I know it's not "real" the best way to
taxi, because of the limited view is
to goto spot view rear and just above
the rear of the ac this is a more realistic
view in my eye, for tri-gear planes!!!

have some very nice diagrams, just type in the last three characters of the airport your looking for and click on the diagram link button. These are American Towered fields only.
I also use the top down option to get a birds eye view of the aircraft as you have to allow for 747's cockpit to overshoot before you turn, and that aint easy to judge on a simulator.

Hiflyphil,

You can get a nice little booklet from the US Government that is called "US Terminal Procedures". It is sold in regions....and it takes about 20 to covar the whole US. However if you want the stuff for your "local" area..... it is a good option. They are reissues every few months....but for virtual flight.... you probaby only need one Wink

.

It includes all of the IFR VFR procedures as well as having pretty good diagrams of the airports. On the larger ones the taxiways are labeled with their designators....not just shown as being there.

The northeast sectror ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, Ri one cost me about $4.00.

You can find them at real GA airports small pilot shops or from the USG FAA at 800-638-8972.
best,

And if you're lucky, you can get expired charts from a local airport or pilot's you know 8)
