Taxi Signs Tool


3D Taxi-Signs art assets in X-Plane are auto-generated, and the glyphs (letters and symbols) on each Taxi-Sign are rendered from a text string of ASCII characters called a taxi sign string or sign string. Taxi-sign are part of the apt.dat file.

  • Sign strings are case sensitive! When we write “A-Z”, we mean upper case letters. When we write “a-z”, we mean lower case letters.
  • Sign strings may contain NO new line characters and NO whitespace characters (tab, spaces)
  • Example Taxi Sign String: {@L}P2{@R}16-34CAT{r1}{@Y}{@@}{^lu}P2{@L}P2
