Proposal for a client-side method of de-conflicting players on and around runways

[N316TS]

Hi,

You’re in luck, because it has already been considered by the development team and may get implemented some day. See this Developer Q&A transcript:

Runway Spawn Points at Hold Short Lines - Timestamp

Jayne – I know last time we talked about this, Martial, you mentioned you don’t know if we will take away the [runway] waiting point as a default spawning point because for newcomers, it might be hard to understand that you are not starting the flight in the alignment of the track. So it’s something we’re talking about. Is there anything you can clarify, here, about the original question?

Martial – Yes, everybody knows that now. So we followed the thread in the forums. And there’s plenty of good ideas there, and basically, putting by default a user at the waiting points, we could prevent those people from spawning when you’re about to land, but it’s not sufficient because we are talking about newcomers, we’re talking about beginners that don’t know that perhaps you should follow some procedures and rules not to go to the track before people are landed. So it won’t solve all solutions, so we are thinking about a solution in two steps:

1. Allow some users to be spawned onto the waiting point if they want to.
2. The other solution is another system to hide people on the track when you are about to land when you’re on final.
