Hello controllers! This patch primarily focuses on performance improvements. I've received many questions about whether the game is still in development. The answer is yes—I'm fully focused on the next update and have no plans for another game or DLC at the moment. This update addresses two major performance issues:

Ridiculous save file size and long save/load times

Performance drops related to FPS The first issue is primarily caused by the replay system. Some underlying design flaws affect replay precision, so I previously added extra data to minimize offsets. However, I underestimated the impact on save file size. The next major update is expected to provide a solution for these replay issues, but it will take time. As a temporary fix, this patch reduces additional replay data—though offsets will be more likely to happen. Existing save files won’t be affected automatically. However, you can disable the replay feature for a save file to delete all its replay data and stop further recording. Any future saves from a replay-disabled session will permanently have replay disabled. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/73ecd6fc6ba0e04c358b862b2d6c8ef5f01a92b8.png

• Reduced additional replay data to optimize file size
• Added an option to disable the replay feature
• Added a V-Sync option.
• Adjusted maximum FPS settings.
• Added three vocal modes: Cutoff, Queue, and Simultaneous.
• Added a Completed Flights filter in the Flights window.
• Various UI adjustments.

• Incorrect update of the waypoints/custom waypoints UI element after changing the layer setting.
• An aircraft could exceed the performance limitations when following route restrictions.
• Incorrect difficulty parameters.
• UI element issues at high resolution.
• The maximum number of columns for the Nav Button.

This patch is for issues that will affect the game experience. Some known issues related to the game mechanism have not been fixed, as they will be eliminated with the complete replacement of the game mechanism in the next update.

Hello controllers! This update is focused on bug fixes and adding some additional features. There was a major bug in the previous version - the length of the final approach was ~1NM short, which led to several issues, including a higher number of missed approaches than expected due to the incorrect estimation of the rate of descent. With this update, existing content can still work but have the following impacts:

• For Game Saves: All approach clearances in the saves will be canceled.
• For Replays: Aircraft might teleport.
• For Nav Points, Routes, and Procedures: They will not be affected but may need adjustments.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/e1f84c27b459a0a4985a166dcc5231fdfd7526c1.png

New Game Settings

Initial Time The initial time and month can be changed in the new game settings panel. Season Cycle In the game, the dominant wind directions and wind speeds are determined by month majorly. Wind conditions could be changed rapidly since the month changes every 60 minutes, resulting in a season change every 3 hours. If you want the wind conditions to be more stable, you can turn off the Season Cycle on the new game settings screen, which will lock the month at the initial month. You can still unlock achievements when the cycle is disabled.

Traffic Heat Map

A traffic heat map can help you to find the busiest area to improve your route design. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/54a8cbb35128badd6b51d00ddc4d48acae7f246c.jpg

Hello controllers! The primary objective of the v2.14.2 update is the same runway separation mechanics overhaul. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/8e13ededca2049009cb152735404d625d4bac98d.png

Departures

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/33a89fba879ab42e6bf2e30e18d67f7d4e689d07.png The time interval between departures now depends on the wake turbulence category of both the preceding and following aircraft. If the following aircraft is heavier than the preceding aircraft, the time interval will be relatively short.

Arrivals

An aircraft can land once the runway is cleared(Preceding aircraft exiting the runway or passing the runway threshold). No time interval is required anymore.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/73ecd6fc6ba0e04c358b862b2d6c8ef5f01a92b8.png

Hi controllers, The primary purpose of this patch is to fix the issues related to replay. To make maintenance easier in the future, the game version will be changed to v2.14.1. This patch won't affect the existing replays and saves. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/73ecd6fc6ba0e04c358b862b2d6c8ef5f01a92b8.png

• You can use an image file as a workshop item preview.
• Now the "Add nav point by clicking" button in the Management-Routes window can still be pressed when any default waypoint or runway exists as a nav point.
• The maximum approach speed was increased in previous versions. Since the missed approach point is much closer to the runway, the additional margin is removed.
• Added some additional cues when adding the nav points.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/d547646ffcada55c732b35d189b2de1426896a9b.png

• FPS drops along with the increase of flights in the replay.
• The auto-save takes too long when a number of flights in the area.

• Custom waypoints and holding fixes can be deployed in the replay.
• Some buttons in the Management window are not disabled in the replay.
• The changes in the departure procedure were not written in the replay file.
• The final approach point changes were not written in the replay file.
• Due to the route speed restriction, an aircraft can be slower than the min speed.
• Minor UI bugs.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/5db1e7f1a70edeabe7b65aab4c0a43ec23930458.png

Hello controllers! The milestones in the v2.14 update include approach mechanics overhaul, arrival procedure, presets, Steam Workshop, and UI improvements. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/000b4878190155cf346a6c9270204b9ecb542fa1.png

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/8681722f24865449c553d7b2c7eeecf82c370f39.png

Approach Mechanics

In the previous version, flights start descent and handoff at the final approach fix and execute the missed approach anytime when a landing cannot be accomplished. In v2.14, flights will still start a descent at the final approach fix. But only handoff and execute missed approach after reaching the missed approach point. It means an aircraft can now enter the final approach when the runway is occupied.

Final Approach Fix

Furthermore, the distance between the final approach fix and the runway threshold can be adjusted to get a longer or shorter final.

Arrival Procedure

An Arrival Procedure is for both arrivals and transits. It's similar to the entry route setting in the Waypoints tab. A flight will join the assigned route when it's under your control. In addition, you can set specific conditions for an arrival procedure. For example: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/553bcc1e6a87db68f64975129c8875883419078d.png In this screenshot, all flights entering the map from CHALI and LUCAS, above FL100, and the destination is LOTTO, will join route R1 after crossing the map border.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/c209252bbee04c39ab71929c9ae4124d846b00f4.png

The following settings can be saved as a preset file, which can be used in the future: The custom waypoints, holding fixes, routes, departure procedures, arrival procedures, runway configurations, obstruction marks, and map marks. All presets, saves, and replays can be shared through Workshop. In short, almost everything you can change in the game can be saved and shared.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/05ee0433e9a411549adfd4100dc45c3b8927fdde.png

You can now resize the game window to fit any resolution. Which also allows you to stretch the game window across monitors. The panels on the bottom of the screen can be stretched, collapsed, and ordered. Other UI changes:
• The font size in the NAV panel, landing panel, and waypoint panel can be changed.
• The Deploy, Management, Forecast, and Flights buttons on the top of the screen use icon instead of text.
• The flight count shown on the top of the screen can be toggled to display the number of flights by type.
• The wind conditions shown on the top of the screen can be collapsed.
• The transcript window can be closed.
• The airport status window and holding fix status window can be opened on the bottom panel.
• The altitude and speed labels on the bottom of the screen can be hidden.
• The compass image changed. Added four direction buttons beside the compass that can use the true or the magnet directions.
• You can now add a nav point to a route by clicking it on the map.
• When starting the application in borderless mode, the game window will be moved to the position when last time you exited the game.
• A text hint will be shown on the screen when Shift, Ctrl, or Alt is pressed.
• When hovering on a flight strip, the aircraft data block on the map will be highlighted.
• The steps during deploying and moving are more clear.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/73ecd6fc6ba0e04c358b862b2d6c8ef5f01a92b8.png

• Wind direction and speed changed gradually instead of changing once per hour.
• The color of custom waypoints and holding fixes can be changed.
• The altitude and speed cell in the Management screen can be drag-and-drop to apply it to another cell.
• A color cell can be drag-and-drop to apply it to another cell.
• You can search for a certain text in the drop menu.
• Holding fixed can be placed between nav points in a route.
• The length limit of the custom waypoint name and holding fix name is now 3 to 5.
• The name of a custom waypoint and holding fix is now generated using a name base instead of random letters.
• Holding fix, route, and departure procedure unlocked after reaching a certain RP.
• Reduce the minimum time interval between runway operations.
• You can assign an altitude and speed to all nav points in a route.
• Random color with one click.
• You can add multiple rulers on the map.
• Flights won't be handoff when holding.
• A route or departure procedure can be disabled without being removed permanently.
• A custom waypoint or holding fix can be moved without being removed permanently.

Hi controllers, Happy holiday! It's been a while since the Key Mapping update. In early November, I made a series of mistakes that wiped out some parts of the codes and backups. As a result, almost all game mechanics changes after the Traffic Flow Update (v2.11, in September) are history. As rewriting identical codes is nearly impossible, some details, like the aircraft maneuver, will differ slightly from the current version in the next update. However, since I had to do it all over again, I made some changes to add new features. Here are the major changes in the next update, which is planned to be released in January.

Arrival Procedure

Procedures for arrivals and transits. It's similar to the entry route setting in the Waypoints tab. In addition, you can set specific conditions for the arrival procedure. For example: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/c8fb4f4102215dd570407e1f3e180d7d66ed1dce.png In this screenshot, all flights entering the map from CHALI or LUCAS, above FL100, and the destination is LOTTO, will join route R1 after crossing the map border.

Workshop & Presets

Workshop contents include game save, replay, and preset. Presets include holding fix preset, custom waypoint preset, route preset, departure procedure preset, airport & runway preset (under the Management-Airport tab in the current version), obstruction marks preset, and map marks preset. In short, almost everything you can change in the game can be saved and shared.

Approach

In the new version, flights start decent on the final approach fix but initial the missed approach only after reaching the missed approach point. And the final approach fix can be moved to get a longer or shorter final.

And some relatively minor changes like:

• The game window can be resized to fit any resolution.
• The panels on the bottom of the screen can be stretched, collapsed, and ordered.
• Wind direction and speed changed gradually.
• The color of custom waypoints and holding fixes can be changed.
• You can assign an altitude and speed to all nav points in a route.
• Random color with one click.
• You can add multiple rulers on the map.
• New compass.

Hello controllers! The Routes Update includes new features, a map, 3 airports, 17 airlines, 4 aircraft types, and achievements. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/579d60a50505c70458786b0fd6e6d03c263a1217.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/a8681745e320d6ecb8e56c44a747890f92a30090.png The New York metropolitan area has one of the busiest airport systems in the world. This update includes its three major commercial airports, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/822d38271f5fa13c7799c779313814ea1e8ea793.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/8f707d123496482e6fb0c9f097526b402776bfcb.png

Routes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/ebf58de62b3d66517caaa23432ac9d6e2ab8d985.png A route can link nav points to channel the flow of traffic. So you don't need to manually direct every flight from one nav point to another.

Departure Procedures

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/cedf81b02eaa82257ce1c807a1548bae28090a10.png A departure procedure is a procedure that flights will follow after takeoff. When flights are frequently instructed to fly a certain route just after departure, setting a departure procedure can reduce repetitions.

Holding Pattern Status Window

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/fc29f45362b58d559d96bea1db4f0fdfdfe1313a.png A holding pattern status window shows all flights assigned to join the holding pattern.

Map Scale

The map scale has been adjusted to fix the aircraft offsets in the replay, along with other tweaks like radar range and game speed.

Speed Limit

The maximum speed of aircraft operating at or above 10,000ft increased from 250kts to 350kts. However, flights still can't overreach their performance limitation.

Requested Altitude

Flights now tend to request a higher altitude, both entering and exiting. This also leads it to enter the map at a higher speed.

Difficulty

Since the changes and new features in v2.1 can largely increase the capacity and reduce flight time, the flight will be scheduled more frequently, while the average number of flights will stay the same. Also, two new difficulty levels have been added for players looking for more challenges.

Final Approach Fix

The position of the final approach fix is now at 1,000ft or 2,000ft above ground level and rounds up to the multiple of thousands to prevent an aircraft initiate an approach at too low or getting a low-altitude alert while approaching. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/b8766b619d60cc9fd5d9a3766135118b446ad3a4.png

Devlog July 2022

Discord Server

Air Traffic: Greenlight now has an official Discord server! I will post some information and screenshots about new features from time to time. If you have any questions or suggestions, I will love to see you there.

Changes in the next update v2.1

Routes

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/d8ec44a0373469203835a0cba840200bf7af719f.jpg You can add routes, aircraft will follow assigned waypoints. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/f13aa9c056f530592efe26e9fd0b1382bbb1f601.png

Departure Procedures

Before departure, you can select a departure procedure. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/cdc7c2da156bcc6147e8a828a4a4012972a3252e.png Departure procedure will be linked to a route, flights will fly this route after takeoff. One procedure can be assigned to multiple runways, and a runway can have multiple departure procedures. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41819773/109a364e92ee1c4663d7a5ef8a719d2fc5265fe3.jpg

Map Overhaul

In the current version, some small defects accumulated during previous updates which could lead aircraft teleporting in the replay. To fix this problem and balance the game experience after adding routes, overhaul all maps probably is the best option. The changes include map size, waypoints and radars. Some runways that was being excluded for various reasons will be added, like EGKK 08L.
