Traffic changes - implications to simconnect (FSLTL / AIG)

The main 2 issues raised with SU11 as regressions from SU10:

  • Approach always uses the first alphabetically ordered approach in the list for an airport and sends aircraft that are close to the airport back to the transition point.
  • Incorrrect approach altitudes lead to airport fly bys and increased go arounds

Both these issues are still present in the SU11 build. Neither have been confirmed for fix in the final release build, so we will just have to wait and see. But there has been no further communication from Asobo regarding them since I raised them in the dev support forum at the beginning of the beta.

From continued testing and attempts to work around the issues, have as yet to deliver any workaround because the internal AI system is making the decision to take the incorrect approach.

If these remain at go live of SU11 it will make landings in FSLTL rare, very unrealistic and essentially make the injector unworkable until Asobo delivers a fix or some magic workaround can be found.

After almost 2 years of dev effort on FSLTL it will be a sad day if the first SU after release puts that effort to waste.
