Efficient ground handling is key to a smooth flight simulation experience, especially when flying online or with advanced AI ATC. But outdated scenery data often leads to weird taxi routes and hold-short confusion.
That is why we built TaxiTuner, a community-driven tool that allows pilots to fix ground layouts in real-time. This week, we are celebrating a major milestone: over 2,000 airports have now been hand-tuned and moderated by our community.
What Is New in TaxiTuner v4?
We have released TaxiTuner v4, which brings significant improvements to how airport data is processed and displayed.
- Dynamic ToolTips: Hover over any taxiway or gate to see detailed info, including restrictions and usage data.
- Enhanced Moderation: New tools for our volunteer moderators allow them to review and approve changes faster than ever.
- Massive Library: With 43 new airports updated just this week (including EGLL, EGSS, and EDDL), the database of "perfect" airports continues to grow.
Why Ground Data Matters
Your simulator's default airport data is often years old or generic. TaxiTuner allows the SayIntentions.AI community—who fly these routes every day—to correct taxiway names, fix hold points, and ensure that when ATC tells you to "Taxi via Alpha, hold short of Bravo," those paths actually exist.
This isn't just about avoiding collisions; it's about enabling the AI ATC to give you precise, realistic instructions that match the charts you are using.
Get Involved
TaxiTuner is built by pilots, for pilots. If your home airport has bad data, you don't have to wait for a sim update. Open TaxiTuner, make the fix, and once moderated, it improves the experience for every SayIntentions.AI user.
Try It Today
The latest version of TaxiTuner is available now in the SayIntentions client. Load up at one of the newly tuned airports like London Heathrow (EGLL) or Manchester (EGCC) and feel the difference of accurate ground guidance.
