Hi Martin, Christian, The main problem I see is the lack of parking positions defined in apt.dat For example, EHAM has 30, EDDF none, LFPO 50. And the parking positions are pretty much essential to the groundnet files. In my script I am generating them automatically, because I have a known airport layout. Anyway, I think it's more likely for the large airports to get attention from scenery designers than for smaller ones. Using taxiway markings was just an idea, now of course I might go ahead and try to come up with a working proof of concept for just one airport, but it's not guaranteed to happen.
