[Question of the day <----------------------]

There are too many external factors involved for an autopilot to make an adequate go or no-go decision in an emergency.

Yup, that was it. Thanks Kurt!

I think I have too many sceneries, it's a challenge to keep them all updated.

[AES 2.01 and ImagineSim TJSJ]

I have the same issue with the pre-release version. I haven't had a chance to try assigning credits with 2.01 yet.

Edit: Just to clarify, I already had TJSJ assigned in FS9 prior to version 2.X. I have the issue assigning in FSX.

I for one never really “feared” the weather in FS, be it dense fog, or heavy thunderstorms, because its effect on the plane is very limited to say the least. How can it be threatening when you’re in descent in your favourite airliner, supposed to have overcast layers covering the airport with low visibility, but that you can still sight the airport from above because of the famous holes in the overcast layer FS always renders ?

Ask yourselves some questions :

Do you remember the last time you had to divert due to the weather in FS ?

Do you ever feared about overrunning a runway because you’re landing your jet near max landing weight on a just long enough and wet runway ?

Have you ever felt battling with speed on rollout after landing in this situation ?

For me all this negates the different challenges of flying.

I agree with Deniz, nasty weather can have a big impact on the two most critical phases of flight, takeoff and landing. It's been so long since I've seen a good solid stratus layer in FS.

In addition I'd like to see ATC that actually provides separation between aircraft. It would be nice if it could provide "services" to AI aircraft as well, but at the very least keep me from smacking into other planes while I'm on an approach in IMC.

I imagine the day ATC gives altitude restrictions not randomly but to keep traffic clear of each other. Other commands would tell you or AI aircraft to speed up, slow down, hold at, etc. as required to avoid conflicts.

It would also be nice if IFR flight operations could change based on weather. VFR conditions get visual approaches with traffic closer in. MVFR gets combination visual, contact (only if we request it), or instrument approaches based on the weather at the time. IFR conditions gets instrument approaches only, with the full separation, holds and delays that comes with it. LIFR could even force you to your alternate based on your equipment.

It works great now! Thanks for the quick fix!

I have the same problem, glad to know it's not just me.

[KSAN gate 13 has jetway 12]

Just thought I'd let you know it looks like jetway 12 is also at gate 13 making the numbering off for the remainig jetways vs. the building and ramp markings at terminal 1.

Keep up the great work! It makes even addon airports without it bland in comparison.
