Please, for the love of our sanity, remove or revamp the in game ATC

[notsofearless]

Due to the excellent dev-stream-recap transcribing efforts (due to @N316TS I think, who did an amazing bit of work here), it looks like there are just a few mentions of ATC, but nothing like that is being described. ‘No reboots’ and ‘WT would look it’ at it seems to be the summary.

Nothing I can find about AIRAC bugs or having to rewrite things like the stock A320 FMS before we can have ATC vectoring like FSX did.

Maybe it was all on Discord and is lost to the ether…

@N316TS

Forums question – Do we get an ATC [air traffic control] overhaul together with the redesign of the AI [artificial intelligence] traffic system? - Timestamp

Marital: Overall, we are still trying to add layers of improvements. So now, we are working on improving the vectoring not for Sim Update 10 but just after. Just to improve the ATC vectoring. And also, we want to make use of the MSAs for minimum safe altitude. So that should include on the flight planning formation, and it would change the way the ATC is using the flight plans, also. So layers of improvement. No reboots, I would say.

@OlieTsubasa443

Community question – Do we have any AI traffic logic behavior improvement plans for 2022?

Martial – Yes, we still have too much legacy behavior and revamp of this feature is needed. In Sim Update 8 we will include some improvement on AI planes not departing.

Jorg – There’s a team including Working Title discussing the improvement of the AI traffic.

Martial precises that ATC is also a factor to take into account in these improvements.
