Aircrafts performing repeated g/a at PSXT-recognized airport

Featured Replies

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with PSXT where live aircraft perform strange or repeated go-arounds at airports that are correctly recognized and populated by PSXT.

What I observe:

  • Aircraft approach the correct runway

  • On short final they either:

    • suddenly climb and go around, or

    • descend very low and then disappear / reappear, or

    • fly through the runway area and later reappear airborne

  • This happens consistently at the same airport (SKRG)

Important notes:

  • The airport is recognized by PSXT (airport file present, no “unknown airport” messages)

  • Live traffic and parked aircraft work normally

  • Runways in use appear correct

  • This affects multiple aircraft, not just one

My setup:

  • Simulator: MSFS 2020

  • PSXT version: 14.0.0

  • Airport(s): SKRG PKSIM

  • Weather: Live Weather enabled

  • AI models: AIG

What I have already checked:

  • Live Weather is enabled

  • PSXT RT “Weather” indicator is green and shows QNH

  • Traffic data is received normally

  • No destination or radius filters blocking arrivals

They aren't go arounds at all unless the aircraft were actually in the overshoot. It's probably something to do with the airport elevation similar to how traffic is at Denver etc.

BTW Scenery is not PKSIM, is VPILOT. My bad

I have seen similar behaviour at HECA, I believe that it is caused by the rather poor surveillance coverage at certain places around the airport.

HECA is a weird one as well. I think that is a combination of coverage (maybe more that the some of the operators turn off their transponders too soon) but also quite varied and also large elevation differences around the field that maybe aren't all that accurate in the sim. Similar again to Denver possibly.

@kiek Hi; any comment from you as dev? I know is a small airport, but since it's my home airport i guess you understand a bit of my struggle.

  • suddenly climb and go around, or

  • descend very low and then disappear / reappear, or

  • fly through the runway area and later reappear airborne

If you see a go-around, then the real live aircraft did that as well. That movement cannot be (accidentally) caused by incorrect RT data.

The other behavior is caused by “holes” in the RT traffic data and/or incorrect altitude data. That part of the airport must have poor ADS-B coverage.
There is nothing I can do about that.
