ATC can be complicated, if you just want to to taxi click on 'turn on Progressive Taxi' and a dotted line will show the direction of travel and the path you need to go. Hope this helps

ATC is referring to the taxiways, which are marked with signs and are also marked on airport diagrams. For example, Romeo is taxiway R, and Alpha is taxiway A. Alpha seven is taxiway A7. And so on.

When you're online I don't think you can get the arrows to help you taxi so you will need to know what ATC means, it sounds more intimidating than it is. Romeo 3 for example refers to the taxiway ATC wants you to use. Every taxiway has a designator; Romeo 3, Mike 1 etc. You can tell what the designator is for a taxiway by looking at the black and yellow signs on the ground, you are on the taxiway that is written in yellow text on a black background. Usually there will also be black text on a yellow background which tells you what a taxiway intersecting your taxiway is. You can also find diagrams of airport taxiways by looking the airport up here: airnav.com.

I would also suggest just googling ATC communication guides, I know I've seen many of them. Have fun!
