• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA Stoopid AI runway backtracking. Tips?

Hey everyone, what are some tips for laying out your runway exit paths to prevent AI from back taxiing to exit a runway? I can't believe a landing craft will search for the closest taxiway node connected to the runway without a care as to whether that node is behind them or not. I mean, sure it's possible at some airports but why doesn't it also check to see if there's another node in front of it first? I understand AI wanting to exit the runway ASAP but turning around to do so isn't that realistic (when it's not necessary anyways).

First, make sure you don't have ANY extra nodes along the runway lines. There should only be nodes at an exit and at the ends. Other than that it's just luck...

Right, figured that one out when I noticed the aircraft slewing off the runway then returning center to taxi off, figured it was from passing near a node when transitioning from a landing to taxi in state.

You can use judicious breaks in the runway centre-line.

Oooh this one sounds interesting. You're saying the Runway path does not need to be connected fully from end to end?

Correct, but I used the word judicious, the behaviour will vary depending upon the length of the AI roll-out.
