**General**

**ATC**
Added support for continual circuits (touch & go)

**General**
Save the last airport the user was on ground at instead of the last airport overflown for “Resume Flight”
Fixed various translation issues

Technical Notes for Linux : Fixed an issue when using the Steam installation of X-Plane on Linux, when Steam was installed using a snap package. Please note, that snap installations are not supported by Valve (XPD-16840)
