I am really enjoying the latest updates. Part of the loss of interest in the previous version was how outdated it was. Airlines that had long gone were still present and many of the sectors and waypoints had changed dramatically and weren’t represented properly. Having been flying commercially for 20+ years the sim was losing its touch as the real world changed. But no longer! It’s excellent.
I’m aware that there is a difference between the core operation of the sim that involves speech recognition and interaction with Windows etc. and the updates to the flightplans and maps. So speech recognition is one thing on my wish list but I imagine it’s a very different project to the immense amount of work already spent updating the data element of the sim which is much more important for me.
Only things I can think of would be an option to overlay the sector altitude limits on to the radar screen. On the more complex sectors my tiny brain can’t remember all the limits in the different areas of the sector - even with practice.
Also would enjoy some updates to the presentation of the displays. Tried to update the colours from another thread but I received an error message about the colour palette so gave up.
I usually play the TC sectors as the NODE display appears to have not changed a great deal and I find the TC sectors more dynamic. The Heathrow director sectors are tricky unless you operate them all bandboxed together or on a super low flow rate otherwise the AI does some wacky things with the sequencing.
Anyway these are just a few observations! They don’t detract from my enjoyment of the sim and I thank all involved for resurrecting this great product. I hope it grows as it deserves to. There’s nothing close to it on the market.
Free route airspace is interesting! Not quite sure how to use it properly yet though.
Cheers!
