reintroduction a flyover function

Featured Replies

 
I was wondering if reintroduction a flyover function could be considered
I remember it’s been dropped because of complexity.
How about making it simple of allowing RT traffic to appear but not parking any complex parking systems until somebody lands on that airport.
It will allow to fly over airports , observe activities below and hopefully it would be simple to implement
Just the traffic that is in RT data and none of the complex and sophisticated parking operations which still will be available under destination assignment
and it obviously can only be activated when observer is let’s see below 5,000 within 5 miles.

I would second the request.

Hi guys,

I'll soon come with a complete redesign of the setting destination airports.  It will fill all your needs (on this topic, of course 😉 )

See 8.4.0

Thank you very much. I posted my experience on a different thread, but basically, I am loving the new feature!

initial flying over KPDX and YSSY looks very promising.
It keeps the life traffic active on the ground below and then loads the parking wen very close to the airport so I think that’s why the performance might not be a big problem I hope.
With my very modest system I didn’t notice any deterioration
Very initial testing
Love it…
Because I want all the airports to load when I’m flying over I created an my_park_airports.txt  file that includes all my airports that I derived from the stock list.

So about 19000? Don't forget that PSXT calculates the distance from the user aircraft to each of the airports in the my_park_airports.txt and sorts them based on distance, every 16 seconds... 

For the sake of performance, and considering you have a modest system, you better find tune that list to the region where you normally fly. Exactly for that reason I came up with the my_park_airports list, instead of PSXT calculating distances toevery airport on the planet (whichwould have been the most user friendly solution, but very time consuming) .

it’s working quite well
I created smaller files that only include “local airports".
One for US ,EU ,AU ,NZ  and Pacific.
And then I made a bat file to activate which ever I’m planning to fly in
