Are you running FSX:SE with DX-10 enabled? If so, disable it and it should come back.

Make sure you look everywhere, they're hard to spot sometimes. Try learning about taxing, it isn't as hard as you think.

The only time I can recal losing that feature was when I landed at an airport that I downloaded a better version of. I think what it did was, it placed the airport just a bit higher than the original and so the progressive taxi lights were just under the su\rface. I realized that as a possibility when I landed at an airport I had not upgraded.

Could that be your problem? Are they missing at an airport you upgraded?

I'm sure he's upset that you would suggest something (like looking around) as something he has already done and a super obvious suggestion. Also, suggesting learning to properly "Taxi" is NOT an answer to his question of a missing feature.

So, I agree with him, your suggestions were really not much help and would have served better if you made it clear you were joking because it really did come across as you insulting his inteligence.

Try changing the view to top down used to work for me, or just open a view mode window with top down view

I too found that the DX-10 disabled that feature. since I find the progressive taxi arrows to importaint, I just don't use the Direct X-10 feature.

It is challenging and rewarding to do it how the real pilots do it. That is, why don't you try taxi without the progressive help on, when you are confident enough.

You can get airport diagrams with the taxiways marked. FSX mostly, is very close to the real world so real world airport diagrams and charts will 9 times out of 10 be just as it is in FSX, with maybe the exeption of the radio frequencies, which in my experience, often do not match up to real world ones. But the frequencies relivant to FSX are found in the map section in FSX and in the GPS. I have found many of these charts online. In Australia, aviation charts, including airport charts are freely available online from the Airservices website. I also noticed that there are other sources online for these charts.

When ATC rattles off the taxi directions, you can write them down, or look at your kneeboard log.

Take it slow, look out for the taxi markers, and you will find yourself safely at the gate or the runway holding point with a satisfied grin on your face.

I prefer not to shut it off because the progressive help guides me, not only to the correct parking area but also the correct parking spot, which the ATC, I do not believe actually gives the parking spot, nor are the actual spots marked. I prefer to park in the exact spot I should be in and not have to randomly pick one.

By the way, I do have over 14,700 Jeppesen Plates and yes, they are great for finding the Taxi Ways, just not the actual Parking Spots.

How can I check which DX Version FS2020 is running on? I have the same Problem. I activated Taxi Ribbons in the Assistance, and it was working before but not anymore, even tho the setting is still ON.
