What is FollowMe?

FollowMe is an FSX Add-on that will allow you to request a follow-me-car that will guide you from the gate to the runway, or from the runway to the gate.

It will work for every airport as long as Air Traffic Control services are provided and ATC is able to assign you a taxiroute. In other words: it will work every time the 'Turn On Progressive Taxi' option is available. When ATC tells you to 'Taxi to Gate X' without specifying a route (via taxiway ...) then unfortunately FollowMe is not able to guide you.

Taking off

Upon confirming the route to the runway ATC assigns you, you can request a follow-me-car that will guide you to the runway.

Landing

Upon landing and clearing the runway, FSX's ATC will hand you off from Tower to Ground, where you can request a taxi route. After confirming the route you can request a follow-me-car. The car will guide you along the assigned route to your gate.

Windows XP SP2 32-bits

Availabiltiy FollowMe is available exclusively from simMarket. Compatibility FollowMe is compatible with all default airports in FSX. FollowMe has not been tested with add-on airports but should be compatible with all airports that have proper taxiways and ATC frequencies defined. FollowMe will only work for the user's plane. FollowMe will not work with ATC add-ons that do not use the FSX assigned taxiroutes. FollowMe will not work in online modes where a human controller assigns you a taxiroute. Support FollowMe has a support forum on Simflight.
