North Sector - Warton, (EGNO) arrivals

Fellsider

Hi guys, Firstly an amazing simulator!
However, a very minor issue I noticed whilst running the North" sector I noticed that flights bound for Warton (EGNO) are routed to Pole Hill at FL100 but when handed off to the tower they remain at FL100 until they reach Warton Airport then disappear off the display still at FL100.
It seems they "forget" to descend.
(Westerlies/Summer/Latest version).
Thoroughly entertaining sim though!

Hiya

As far as I know, EGNO does not have runway, SID (or equivalent), STAR (or equivalent) data coded. Neither a NO TWR or NO Approach defined. Therefore the sim just sees EGNO as a fix, won’t alter the last level and just routes it to the fix. As it is the last fix, it then terminates at EGNO.

Cheers, C

Ah, I see.
Thanks for that.

Fellsider This has been amended slightly for the next update….Traffic should now descent to A2.0 when with EGNO...and then disappear!
As @CloggyUk says it's because EGNO isn't fully "built" in the sim. However hopefully this adds a little more realism. If the traffic levels start to warrant it, I can look at fully implementing EGNO.

Thanks, Dave.

Thanks for the update Dave!

Could I also ask you about the "Expedite" instruction? I cannot get it to work using voice, it is probably the way I am doing it but I have tried all ways of phrasing it but I have had no luck. (There is a separate discussion started by me on the forum).

Thanks again,
Fell.

Whilst on this area of the UK. When working WAL sector, EGNH arrivals are handed to Warton though from what i've experienced in real life all IFR traffic is handed straight to Blackpool? Is it possible this can be changed?
