  • EGNM/LBA Parking Spot

    Zitat von ApfelFlieger

    The positions must be adjusted in both the TSC and the WAD. I am now attaching a version in which the formulas for the conversions in the WAD are described.

    Basically, you can adjust the new position in the TAP and then convert it with the TAP converter.

    Or you can quickly recalculate the values from the TSC for the WAD, the calculation formula is in the WAD. In addition, I enclose a table as NUMBERS and as XLSX, with which the conversions can be made. I will also describe this in Flight-Sim.org and publish the tables there.

    Danke schön!!

    I had a quick play with that this morning and got it working.

  • EGNM/LBA Parking Spot

    Zitat von ApfelFlieger

    Weitere Park-Positionen lassen sich über einen zusätzlichen Flugplatz integrieren. Für EGNM füge ich EGNMpa bei, viel Erfolg.

    I am probably being really thick, but how can I move the positions back slightly?

    2 of the parking positions are too close to the terminal for pushback.

    I’ve tried amending the coordinates of the positions, in the files, but it doesn’t change the locations in game.


    Danke!

  • EGNM/LBA Parking Spot

    Firstly I appreciate this is a really niche request and nobody’s priority,

    But is it possible to add another parking spot at EGNM/LBA?


    At present there is only the one and it’s away from the terminal / gates, facing the wrong way for a pushback.

    There are spaces between the AI aircraft to add more in, but just one would be great.


    I’m not expecting IPACS to get around to this anytime soon, although it would be fantastic for me if they did. I just wondered if anyone knew a way to manually add an extra parking spot. If it was possible to edit a file etc to include one.


    Thanks all - Happy flying!

  • Missing Navigation Time

    Zitat von Jet-Pack (IPACS)

    Yes, sometimes the computation doesn't work yet. Please check if the time is displayed correctly once you've started flying the route.

    Thank you for the reply.


    On this particular route the time didn’t change after take off and flying for 10 mins.


    I’ll try some other routes when I get chance.

    This is a welcome feature, and will be great to have once it’s working properly!

  • When can we expect new Airports?

    Great to hear there’s people working on more airports!

    I’m really hoping for some African and Middle East airports, which the game is really lacking;


    Particularly;

    Johannesburg OR Tambo

    Bole Addis Ababa

    King Khalid, Riyadh

    King Abdulaziz, Jeddah

    Hamad, Doha

    Bahrain

  • Estimated Flight Time

    Zitat von paranovski

    Start with the basic formula: flight time equals distance divided by speed. Use nautical miles for distance and knots (nautical miles per hour) for speed. For example, if the planned distance is 600 nautical miles and the aircraft is flying at 200 knots, the flight will take approximately 3 hours.

    Yeah it can be calculated, I agree, I just wish the game would do it for you lol.


    It’s not the end of the world that it doesn’t. I just wondered if there was something I was missing somewhere in the game, as I think it would be a useful feature to have.

  • Estimated Flight Time

    Zitat von ighten

    Yeah sry my mistake. For some reason I was thinking it did but I was using it last night and realised the same thing you have.


    No worries. Thanks for trying though 😊


    It’s not a major issue, just something that would be a useful feature to have when setting up a flight. The game already knows the time as it shows this when skipping ahead, so it’s a shame it’s not shown in the menu when setting the route.


    Hopefully something that can be added in a future update! ☺️

  • Estimated Flight Time

    Hey all,

    Is there anywhere to see an estimated flight time when setting a route in the main menu?

    Sometimes I may only have a short amount of time to play, say an hour or so, and so I try to set a route that is an hour long. However I can’t see anything that tells me how long it will take to fly.


    I found Googling real life flight times doesn't usually match the in game flight time.


    The only way I’ve found is to take off and skip part of the flight. It then shows me how long is remaining, but it would be great to see this when setting the route.


    Thanks 😊

  • Crashes on Steam Deck

    I removed the Special Building files located in the ‘London City’ folder within POI


    And then searched for ‘London’ amongst the scenery files and removed them also.


    I left in all the files relating to landmarks, just took out the general London scenery files and the Special Building files.

    I haven’t done any intensive testing but I managed to be able to take off, fly around a bit and land after doing this, which I wasn’t able to before.

  • Crashes on Steam Deck

    Zitat von ThomyW

    I did some circular test flights with the A350 & A380 at a few scenery, with all graphics set to MAX.

    At JFK, LAX and London Gatwick everything is fine with both aircraft (no crash)

    However at LHR, Frankfurt and Munich, it crashed after ~ 10 min (both aircraft).

    In my opinion, there must be something "wrong" with those scenery, certainly a file. Or maybe it's because both A350 and A380 are quite detailed aircraft and for the computer it's a "little bit too much"... I don't know.

    I’ve never encountered any problems while flying at these locations until the latest update.

    I have done a couple of test takeoffs with the A380 at Frankfurt and Munich to see if I could also replicate the crashes you had but I had no crashes. Will test again with other aircraft and flying for longer.

    Like yourself, I only encountered issues since the latest updates.

    General performance is slower now, loading times longer, and random crashes in the menus also, as well as the crashes mentioned previously.

    I managed to fix the Heathrow issue by deleting some of the London files within the game, and so I’m not sure if this perhaps inadvertently fixed any potential issues at other airports, if they shared assets etc.


    I hope IPACS bring a patch soon, as the game hasn’t been the same on Steam Deck since the updates.

  • We need Doha and Abu Dhabi!!!

    Zitat von alphasixx

    IPACS, thank you for the amazing A350. I’ve been having lots of fun flying it around. But, considering Qatar Airways and Etihad are some of the largest A350K operators, it’s a real shame we don’t have their respective airports properly modelled for realistic flights… can we expect them soon?

    I would love to see more Middle East airports added. As well as Doha and Abu Dhabi, it would be great to have Jeddah, Riyadh, Bahrain and Kuwait also!

  • Crashes on Steam Deck

    Zitat von ThomyW

    I have the same problems as you. I am on MacBook Pro M4Max and when I fly the A380 or the A350 in Heathrow it crashes (same problem with Frankfurt).

    I've just tried an other airport : Barcelona. Everything work !


    Whilst I don’t want anyone else to have their game crash, it’s good to know it’s not just me lol.


    I have just tested my game at Frankfurt with the A350 and it appeared to run fine, but I’ll test it with other aircraft when I get chance.

  • Crashes on Steam Deck

    After more testing, I’ve found other offending files relating to:

    building_special_**_color.ttx


    Removing some of these allows me to fly a bit further before a crash, but removing all these files I was able to fly with no issues.


    However a new crash occurs when accessing ‘Location’ mid flight from the menu.



    I find it strange that the crashes only seemed to occur with the aircraft listed earlier, if it is an issue with the map.


    Anyway, I hope there’s enough info there for a fix to be found.

    Thanks.

  • Crashes on Steam Deck

    So after a bit more testing I think I may have found the offending files causing the crash.


    building_special_21_color.ttx

    building_special_22_color.ttx


    Both located within the London City folder in POI.


    I basically removed several folders and files relating to the London area then systematically replaced these to see if the crash remained or if it ran ok.

    I also tried validating the file integrity after removing these files and redownloaded/reinstalled them to rule out the files being corrupted.

    I will test more when I have time later today, but by removing both these files the game didn’t crash on the brief testing I did. Placing one or both back into the game caused it to crash.


    Will post an update later on when I’ve had chance to run the game for longer without these files.

  • Crashes on Steam Deck

    A further update:

    After some more testing, I have found the following.

    The game crashes on approach to Heathrow not just during take off.

    Flying over Heathrow at high altitude seems to be ok, but below 20k-30k ft it crashes again.


    I have tested every aircraft taking off from Heathrow.


    The crash only occurs with the following:


    A350

    A380

    Baron 58

    777-300ER

    777F

    F-15E


    All other aircraft I had no crashing issues with.


    Any help would be appreciated. Or if there’s anything else you’d like me to test to help find a solution, please let me know!
