Adding to this, hopefully instructions can automatically state “taxi… hold short of taxiway [A]” when routing an aircraft between 2 taxiway intersections. Do not add a ‘hold short’ button like holding short of a runway. (Additionally, holding short of a runway should be a default instruction under this above rule, crossing a runway should be an additional further instruction.) Last additional, should add a ‘follow [aircraft]’ function to taxi instructions.

Great suggestion! Follow instructions will be added

Hello Mathias, you could just select any point on any taxiway, which could be treated as a hold short, does it work for you? Also, you could add inter stop using left click and right click for cancel last inter stop

That’s true and it works ok at the moment. The current simulation stops the aircraft exactly where you clicked on the map.
Ideally, no matter where you clicked midway between 2 intersections on a taxiway, the aircraft would stop right before the intersection (and also read back “hold short taxiway [A]” on the radio). This would better reflect real aircraft movements.
