Fly-over airports

Featured Replies

Hi Nico,

It used to be possible to enable fly-over airports as long as you were below an altitude (which you could set). Crucially, if I recall correctly, once enbled this worked for all airports within a lateral range (maybe just one at a time, but it would pick the most logical airport, perhaps by size/proximity).

As I understand the current logic, it  still works somewhat the same, except that the airports being flown over need to show up in the parking file in order to be populated. So it seems that there's no way to get parked traffic in unvisited or non-3rd party airports as you traverse a country. Is that correct?

If so, would there be any chance to bring back the functionality? As it is, too many airports look too empty without any parked traffic.

Thank you

The change in functionality that it only Parks at airports in your my_parked.. list is from maybe 2 years ago...

I have no intention to change that.

Note it does not have to be a third party airport. Any airport will do, if it is supported by RT.

Note also that for airliners flying above FL300 parked traffic is hardly noticeable, and note too that this parking and unpacking causes CPU cycles and may introduce small hiccups.
