Correction needed in manual

[Avwriter]

The manual contains incorrect examples for issuing taxiway instructions.  For example, for departing aircraft, it gives the example:  " CALLSIGN, RUNWAY XX TAXI VIA TAXIWAY X (TAXIWAY Z, TAXIWAY Y".    I had a brutally difficult time with getting the sim to understand such commands, until I realized by accident that all I needed to say was "Callsign, Runway XX, Taxi via X, Z, Y."  That is to say that the word "Taxiway" is not a part to the phrasing at all.   For literally minded people like myself, it would be helpful to revise the relevant examples accordingly.

And looking a few lines lower at the command for switching to departure at a certain altitude I thought I could leave out the word ALTITUDE but no such luck.. Seems to be the same as with TAXIWAY but this time you do need to use the word..

Bit confusing, i'll see if I can find more of those since I'm still learning and haven't used all commands yet...

edit: Using UPPER/lower case would really help... Could you pls look into that Vic(and friends)

Thank you. Changing Taxi instructions was the one giving me trouble. Maybe I can help with the pre-cleared handoff. I have found that something like this works: ABC123 runway 27L cleared for takeoff upon reaching 02 thousand contact departure.

 

Removed typo.
