I follow the purple line, just like real pilots (as real as it gets)!

[Saitek]

Same here!

[MattNW]

If it's an area where I have a sectional chart I can get a reading on two nav aids and pinpoint my position from that. In other cases (damned sectionals, even outdated ones, are expensive) I use Fs Navigator so my line isn't purple it's black.  ;D You can also hold the cursor over an airport or nav aid in Fs Nav and get a fly to heading.

...Purple for me too...or a beeline across the grass towards the nearest terminal....commoner

[Marlin]

Commoner that is just to funny, be sure to look left right left first.

Just like a real pilot does.

I'll use progressive taxi only if I need to. What you have to remember though, it that ground WILL give you progressive taxi instructions if you ask..........

I use my Canada Flight Supplement I recieved from my ppl training. For US, I found a link off of this site that gives me the airport diagrams.

And if I feel like screaming.....then the purple line might come on to get a bearing.

I said the purple line

But when I am mucking around, I just land, crusie along the grass, stop infront of a building and turn off ATC

[lizardofozz88]

I like to do the classic "y" move. Just push Y and all you troubles are over. Taxi the last 10 feet though. Just to say i did.
For those who dont know y is slew mode.

[ReverseThrust]

I usually just look at top-down view to see what taxiways will take me where I want to go.  Forget FS ATC anyway...They're too 'high' to know what's going on on the ground.

Huh How do you do that? First time I've heard that mentioned.
