AI taxi speed

Hello folks

I have a question about AI aircrafts.
Is there any way I can chance the taxi speed of the AI Aircrafts, I think they move too slow.

Happy landings

You may want to "chance" the airspeed but I wouldn't mind "changing" it.

Anyway, moving 100+ tons of aluminum, fuel and passengers on tiny tires is usually done at 10-20 mph (~25 kph) depending on load. Side stresses on landing gear is a no-no, and stressing $1,000 - $3,000 tires puts you in the dog house with your flight manager!

I think they are too slow as well, I overtake them sometimes!

Maybe you're going too fast.

Overtaking is illegal at Airports! It's not a race track. :-lol

Well, the taxi speed is marginally acceptable on taxiways, though it is sometimes a bit annoying that 10 kts is as fast as they go- I'd like to see 15-20 on long straight stretches (except for taildraggers).

But they slow down too quickly on the runway, then take forever to get to an exit. This is the cause of a lot of traffic delay.

But so far as I know, MS has that locked into the program, with no way for us to change it. Come to think of it, their takeoffs are often too quick (short), and climbout on many aircraft is waaaaay too steep.

Naah, not me going too fast, the AI aircraft even come to a standstill at some points for no apparent reason. x( They are not stopping cos something else is entering the taxiway, and ATC haven't told them to, so just overtake them, especially if you have a faster plane! :-lol
