The Heat Map update released

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.

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.
