Help a noob understand the airport setup and get the taxiing tutorial going

I have no idea of the marking in the airport runway, taxiway etc. Where do I learn about reading the numbers and signs on the tarmac?

I am trying the tutorials. Stuck with taxiing one which keeps repeating that I should release brakes and move even when I am faltering around. Also keeps saying I am going in circles when I am just following the road straight ahead of me.

FAA Aeronautical Information Manual. This also helps you to better enjoy your next airline flight.

Flightgear signage may be missing or not up to standard.

I probably can't help with the tutorial.

hi, sorry i missed your question. have you progressed since you asked it?

also, i do recommend discord server linked here: https://lemm.ee/post/67754551 - it is probably the biggest existing flightgear community right now.
