A small update with bug fixes:
  • Fixed an issue with the random weather setting, which was not always working correctly when resetting the traffic.
  • Fixed a crash that could happen when arrivals were crossing a localizer with ILS mode off.
  • Fixed a crash on game startup on some devices.

Small update to version 5.7.3:
  • Fixed a game crash that could happen when new arrivals enter a holding.
  • Fixed an issue regarding airline selection at custom airports with secondary airports.

Changelog of v5.7.2:
  • Fixed occasional incorrect pilot calls and TTS errors.
  • Fixed the auto-switching of the control bar position when resizing the window. To manually adjust the control bar position, longpress the Bar button in the Display menu.
  • For custom airports, an adjustment was made that should prevent planes from flying circles around a waypoint. Plus a fix for a game crash that could happen when arrivals to secondary airports where spawning.
  • Corrected/updated several call signs and plane types.

New in this version:

✈ Display options
  • Ident button to toggle on/off the blinking of plane targets that made a call.
  • Radio button to enable 'Radio Direction Finding': this feature marks planes when they are using the radio, so you can see who is talking. This feature is not only helpful when controlling busy airspaces, it's actually realistic; systems like this are used in real life in some countries.
  • Captions button lets you hide the blue text at the bottom of the screen. It declutters the screen and adds realism as you have to listen to the pilots carefully (but of course it's only practical to use this feature when voices are enabled). And if you miss a call, just open the menu, because then the blue text will still be displayed.
  • Clock lets you display the local time. These four new options can be found via the new 'Extra' submenu in the Display menu.
  • Added XL font size option to the Text button, and adjusted the font size for high DPI displays.
✈ Sound options
  • Added a Noise button to the Sound menu: when enabled, you will hear a bit of background noise when pilots are talking over the radio, for some extra immersion.
  • Adjustments to text-to-speech calls and readbacks, for more variation and accuracy.
✈ Small adjustments
  • For custom airports, the altimeter unit can now be manually set to either inches or hectoPascals by using a new 'inches' property.
  • The control bar defaults to the bottom of the screen on ultrawide displays.

Changelog of this small update:
  • Improved accuracy of zooming towards the cursor when using the scroll wheel to zoom (if relative zooming is enabled in the F7 menu).
  • Corrected ILS pronunciation in readbacks.
  • Emergency planes can now select higher speeds (above the usual 250KT limit).
  • Improved callsign selection based on plane spawn location; the callsign selection is now less random but more based on the 'spawn directions' as defined in the airline list of custom airports.
  • Slightly reduced the separation minima for departures just after takeoff; this should avoid incidents at custom airports with minimum altitudes close to the ground. At the default airports, the minimum altitude of at least 1500 feet avoids triggering of incidents anyway.
  • Bug fix for planes that could have both ILS and HOLD modes enabled at the same time, causing game instability.
  • Bug fix for occasional incorrect plane spawn altitude when multiple runways are in use.
  • Bug fix for emergency planes being unable to select the runway fixes of alternate destinations.

What's new:

Updates to all 9 airports
The updates include more detailed coastlines, changes to restricted areas, added displaced thresholds and waypoints on the localizer (where applicable), corrections for magnetic variance, and updates to various beacons/SIDs. Note: when loading an older savegame for the first time after updating, the newer runway data may cause go arounds on some locations.

Color customization
Added a Color menu, where you can toggle between various colors for things like labels, targets, runways, and more. You can find the Color menu in the Display menu.

Various adjustments
  • The heading of departures can now be adjusted without having to manually disable SID mode first.
  • Option to zoom towards the cursor instead of towards the center of the screen. See the Controls menu (press F7) to toggle the 'Zoom Relative' setting between 'Cursor' and 'Center of screen'.
  • Previous sound setting is saved when switching sound on/off.
  • Higher max rate of departures by having tighter margins to nearby traffic/clouds.
  • For custom airports:
    • Colored lines can be added to a new [background] section at the end of the file.
    • Lat/Long coordinates can be given in simple decimal degrees (so without needing to add letters) by setting decimaldegrees=true.
    • Added optional localizer waypoint pronunciation.
    • The visible part of a circular area can be limited by headings using the drawdegrees property
    • Added option to add more specific from/to headings to the airline list.
    • See the example.txt on how to use these new features.

Minor adjustments and bug fixes in v5.5.5 (4 April):

  • Fixed issue where planes inbound secondary airports could not land after a go-around in case the runway configuration had changed to a takeoff-only config. For example, planes inbound RD airport may now change destination to EHAM after going around.
  • Blue plane messages now remain visible after a runway configuration change.
  • Slightly reduced the climb rate of planes just after takeoff.
  • For custom airports, adjustments to the transition altitude/lowest flight level at USA airports, to make it closer to reality: 'transitionaltitude=18000' will now be interpreted as 17000 to make FL180 available at high pressures, as it is in real life. The lowest selectable FL will not drop below FL180. And the lowest FL will now increase in steps of 10 instead of 5 (for example FL190 instead of FL185). These adjustments only affect 'usa=true' airports with a transition altitude set at 18000 feet and pressure simulation enabled (Realism menu).
  • Added the property 'transitionlevel', but only to keep better compatibility with older airport files. This deprecated property was removed in v5.5 due to the addition of variable pressure, but now the property will be interpreted as 'transitionaltitude'. Newer airport files can better use either 'transitionlevel' or 'transition' to avoid naming confusion.
  • Fixed missing displaced threshold for secondary airports.
  • Planes leaving an APP route will obey speed restrictions.

And v5.5.6 (5 April) fixes an issue where the transition level at YSSY airport was incorrectly calculated.
