      Just noticed the ATC does not tell you what # you are in line for taxi requests any longer. This was nice a nice feature to have when there are multi flights taxiing to the runway. At times the only way I know when to start my taxi in proper sequence was by what ATC would call out as my # in line to taxi, then I’d just count the flights passing by.

      Hope to see this implemented again in next update.

      Good day,

        What ATC seems to do currently is keep you at the ramp with “position and hold” (not what that phrase means IRL). I’ve noticed that it gives separate taxi instructions per member at some interval. “Hold position” means you aren’t next. So just wait for the next flight to taxi and ask again. Unfortunately you don’t get a prompt (or at least not reliably) when to taxi again. You have to ask manually.

        If you’re #2 (AI lead) he’ll ask for taxi and if it says hold position he’ll wait and magically taxi at just the right time silently. It would be nice if ATC will tell you hold position and just remind you again when you’re clear. It’s not that big of a deal to ask again after each flight gets taxi clearance to see if you’re next.

          it does tell you but only if your flight is not number one….

          unlike landing ATC, TO ATC did not receive any love in 4.3 3, just the fact that all players are hearing the same…

          not sure i will fond the courage to re write it… its just boring

            That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification, was not sure how to recognize my taxi cue position, this helps.
