Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites where I can obtain ground charts showing taxiiways of airports etc in the UK? The reason for this is that I have just started flying on VATSIM, (highly recommended) and ATC often issues great long taxi clearences, and its quite hard to navigate your way around taxiiways without a map ❗ Anything similar in terms of charts that might help would also be useful.

Thanks a lot in advance 😉

Here is a small freeware program that works quite well. It will display the Taxiway information and numbers that you are looking for.

Download the latest version, Airport's Chart Viewer v5.0 , found at the bottom of the page on the link.

So there's no progressive taxi in VATSIM? Here's another VATSIM question: I have Traffic 2005 installed, will it be disabled while I fly with real pilots, or will there be a situation where there will be half AI planes half real planes?

Thanks a lot in advance...

The idea of VATSIM is that it is as close to reality as possible. That means there isn't progressive taxi because ATC are real people. They issue IFR clearences, have different positions such as DEL, GND, TWR, APP, CTR. You have to create a flight plan that you send to ATC and they approve it etc. So it is very realistic. That means there won't be any AI traffic, all other traffic are other people flying online 😉
