Since SimUpdate V we have the new Flight Assistant. In many ways, it is cool. But for Airliner flying it is so annoying! Every time I start the APU, it always calls the Pushback truck. I know I can turn it off in the Toolbar. But when I forget it, it always calls it. I don’t know how to turn this off ones and for all. If anyone knows, please tell me…
All in all I am annoyed.
I add ATC assist to my pre-flight checklist, and before parking checklist. So when you start the flight, Flight Assist is always the first thing I go to, make sure everything is off. Then I start the battery and APU, etc.
Same with at the end, right before I make my final turn to the gate, I open the ATC assist again, and turn it off.
Once you get used to making this a habit, you should be fine.
P.S, it’s not because of SU5. ATC assist has always been like that since launch. And it’s always behaved that way. That’s why I made the above steps as a habit this past year.
