New ATC and Airport Operations Application Testing

[fs1 295]

I did a test in KATL, where I dispalced R09L threshold by 152 meters and recompiled the default BGL.

Fast takes Offs are working fine there. I appreciate any hints. Thanks

The behaviour you see is:

>  Aircraft is on short final

>  T/O Aircraft is holding short

>  Landing aircraft passes the T/O aircraft holding short.   T/O Aircraft is lining up before landing aircraft has touched down.

>  T/O Aircraft starts take-off roll regardless of landing aircraft has already vacated the runway. 

You can change the threshold value in ADE,  under Runway Settings, tab Primary/Secondary   'Offset Threshold;  

 

When you change this, the behaviour is:

>  Aircraft is on short final

>  T/O Aircraft is holding short

>  Landing aircraft touches down

>  T/O Aircraft lines up runway  approx 1 or 2 seconds after touchdown. 

>  T/O Aircraft waits on the runway until aircraft has vacated the runway, then starts the take-off roll.

I see what you mean. The further the AI is landing, the larger is the wait until the AI enters the runway, correct? If so, I will fix it

No, that's not what I mean.  I'm talking about the EnableRollThenTakeoff.   When the threshold is further down the runway, the AI enters the runway before touchdown of the landing AI, and it takes off regardless of when the landing AI vacates the runway. So it starts the take-off roll while the landing AI is still slowing down on the runway.

I have turned EnableFastTakeOff  off.

You should test it on GVA airport for example,  Runway 05. which has a displaced threshold of 360 meters or something.

Ok I will test GVA, Rny 05 and let you know, Could not replicate it in KATL.

Here is a short video that is demonstrating the problem: One aircraft is still breaking after landing, while the departure is lining up. So far so good. But the departing aircraft then starts the take off with the landing aircraft still occupying the runway. 

Airport is KSAN San Diego with a displaced threshold.

Thanks Christoph! Let me take a look. Regards, Federico

Does the runway assignment system works with the user’s aircraft. It seems that it does not because  it always gives me the closest runway. 
would that be a possible feature to add?

I will work on a workaround with threshold. There seems to be a null zone not being detected.

Still not. Is forthcoming! Thanks

What a fantastic tool which delivers an element of realism which flight simulator in all its forms has been missing since AI was first invented.

Had the odd problem with the planes lining up after an arrival has touched down but starting the roll before the previous plane has vacated - will need to check the off-set threshold point.

On a point of good order, when the plane taxis into position as the landing plane touches down, ATC gives the "cleared for takeoff" message when in real life it would be "Line up and hold" pending the vacation of the runway of the prior landing at which point takeoff clearance would then be given. Not sure how easy this is, but thanks to the author for something which does beyond the extra immersion which apps like AIFlow and AIGround have recently delivered.

Not as technically proficient as others - can someone please point out where these files go? And what is used to edit the .xml files? Notepad++?

You need to unzip all files into your P3D Documents\addons folders. 
For example, for P3D v4, open the Windows Explorer and type %userprofile%\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons

see this post in LM forums:

https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=126661

For the XML, the notepad is just fine.

Let me know if any issues.

Thank you Legend.

Hi Frederico

Thanks for this nice little tool.

Did some testing tonight in Zurich. Unfortunately, I had takeoffs from RWY34 instead of RWY16, and landings on RWY16 at the same time...

Kind regards

Michael

1- What scenery are you using?

2- What version of the DLL are you using? (Right click on the DLL and look at the version tab)

3- This happens consistently with all AIs?

4- Is this the only airport you are having issues?

Thanks
