Whatever you see fit. !taxiway was just the last hack after playing around with different possibilities. Reasons as far as I remember were: 1. Not to mess with some possible(?) "helipad" or seaplane port equivalent of a runway. That would of course be invalidated by the existence of any other ground structures that are not runways like apron, whatever (apt.dat version 850) but I did not intend to rewrite the whole runway class just for that fix and so didn't really check into it deeply. 2. I guesstimated, probably mistakenly, that checking for something not being equal to a given string might be a tiny bit faster, esp. as there would be a lot more taxiways than actual runways on every airport. I had some vague suspicion that some part of the infamous "stuttering every couple of seconds" I sometimes experienced might be related to the ai aircraft trying to search their runways but further testing was inconclusive on that. hth K.
