    Description

    RXP VR TAXI RIBBON MOD v2.0.4

    Tested on MSFS Version 1.34.16 (SU13)

    Description:

      This mod changes the Taxi Ribbon and Parking Assistance 3D objects colors and sizes.
      It consists in unobtrusive modifications to Asobo_UI.bgl to make the helpers naturally
      blending with the ground, less invasive in VR and more convenient in 3D.

    Examples:

      Smaller Green Taxi Ribbon Arrows
      - Blending naturally with the taxi lines and displaying only a few meters away from the aircraft.
      - Visible at night.

      Blue/Green Parking Box
      - Displaying as thin blue/green patterns over the ground.
      - Visible at night.

      Blue/None Parking Box
      - Displaying a thin blue pattern over the ground and disappearing once inside the area.
      - Visible at night.

      White/None Parking Box
      - Displaying almost like ground painted parking lines and disappearing once inside the area.
      - Reflective only.

    Guided Installation:

      - Double click rxp-taxi-helpers-mod.bat to run the installation script.
      - This script auto-detects the location of the package files and will guide you through the installation process.
      - Follow the instructions for customization options, wait until completed - done!  
      - Alternatively, you can directly invoke the script from a PowerShell prompt:

    PS> .\rxp-taxi-helpers-mod.ps1
    Manual Installation:

      - Use the following PowerShell command to get additional help:

    PS> Get-Help .\rxp-taxi-helpers-mod.ps1 -Detailed
    How to uninstall:

      - Proceed with the guided installation and choose every first item in the lists.
      - Or use the following PowerShell command:

    PS> .\rxp-taxi-helpers-mod.ps1 -RestoreDefaults
    IMPORTANT:

      A backup copy is saved every time you make any change to the original file in the original folder.
      Every Asobo update comes with a new Asobo_UI.bgl file, reinstall after each update.

    Additional Information and Credits:

    This mod was built directly from the current default Asobo_UI.bgl file from SimUpdate 9 version 1.25.6

    You can now make the taxi ribbon less intrusive in VR. Perfect.

    Oh. my....the mod makes me wonder why this isn't actually implemented in the game/sim. I fly in VR and the big blue arrows are just annoying. I would try and taxi without the ribbon but the AI instructions are just not funny. This mod is brill.

    I only tried changing it too smaller across and to green....it just kinda merged into the taxi way ...so not intrusive anymore.

    Big thanks.

    It is very easy to install. The sizes work great. But the color didn't change when I tried to. Would give a 5 star if I could change the colors. It just didn't work.

    Hi, great mod, love it, really kind of a game changer.
    But one thing, I can't change the color of the ribbon to yellow, which I would really like to do.
    Right now in the script I changed the color to blue, which is OK for me, but not the perfect color:

    [Parameter(ParameterSetName='Normal')]
    [ValidateSet("Blue", "Green", "Cyan", "Yellow", "Magenta", "None","")]
    [String]$Ribbon = "Blue",

    hello, good work many thanks, BUT I can also like the user "Justin_Credible" see below, NOT change to the color yellow !!! what can I do, why does it not change the color as desired ???


    Thanks Daniel

    But every time I change this to "Yellow", in game I do not get yellow but the old green ribbons. Please give me a hint how to get yellow ribbons.

    Hi, thank you for your kind words! I've just tested and the file updates properly with the yellow ribbon color option. However, please don't try editing the script, it is not meant for this. Like indicated in the 'read me', either 1) Double-click the .bat file then use the GUI or 2) use the Power Shell command line to manually setup (You can use the following PowerShell command to get additional help: Get-Help .\rxp-taxi-helpers-mod.ps1 -Detailed)

    @CptLucky
    Thank you for your reply. But I definitely can not confirm that I can get "Yellow" when I double-click the .bat file and use the GUI. I tested it with all of the available sizes from 100% to 10% (I usually use 15%). And every time I get "Green" when I select "Yellow". And it seems that there are also problems with other colours, at least I also do not get "Magenta".

    Hello, I have an idea for the development of this mod. Is it possible to make a selection of the distance to where the arrows can be seen. Only 2 arrows are e little bit short.

    Hi,


    A lot of things can be done (with a few limitations), after all, it is only a glTF 3D model... The problem is that there are only 24h in a day!

    I had to modify the execution policy in the bat file to "-ExecutionPolicy Bypass" to get it to run on my system.

    This is expected if you double-click the .ps1 Powershell script, and why installation instructions are recommending to basically double-click the .bat instead, which is simple bootstrap to run the .ps1 script.


    However, the current .bat is not working for everyone and we're planning an update. If you prefer not waiting, you can manually edit the .bat and replace the content with the following single line:


    @PowerShell.exe -NoLogo -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "& '%~dpn0.ps1'"
