Englishal,

That's funny about taxiing because even in flight simulation, I was very confused about where to turn and when in large airports like Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok or Schipol Amsterdam. Without this "toy" we have in FS2004 which is called "progressive taxiing" which shows you the way by literally drawing a nice pink dotted line to your destination, one can get pretty lost, especially since the taxiway signs are not always easy to see or read and the airport diagram gets pretty confusing if you don't even know which taxiway you're on.

Thank-you all for your replies. Actually, last week-end, I was looking at some aviation weather in weatherunderground.com and Boston Logan did have very high winds!

Has anyone landed in challenging conditions (snow, freezing rain/ice or just high winds) in Montreal's Pierre Elliot Trudeau airport (YUL/CYUL) by any chance? How was it like?
