Hey everyone,Big update this round — the US West Coast is properly on the map, and the game runs substantially lighter than before.🇺🇸 US West Coast — 4 New Sectors
The West Coast airspace has been reworked from the ground up with clean, seamless boundaries. Four sectors are now playable: Seattle Center (Cascade High, Area B West High) and Oakland Center (Oakland North High, Bay/Valley High) — covering Central Oregon down to the San Francisco Bay.Traffic got a serious upgrade too: 100+ new flights including Alaska routes, trans-Pacific long-haul to Asia, Hawaii services and east–west connections that break up the old north–south monotony. Northbound and southbound streams no longer share the same airway — opposing flows now run on parallel tracks a few miles apart.Heads up: West Coast traffic density is still being balanced. Some sectors are busier than intended and not optimised— feedback welcome while we tune it.⚡ Major Performance Boost
The game runs noticeably lighter on the CPU. Per-frame cost dropped by roughly 44% (measured with ~200 aircraft in the sector), and waypoint rendering was rebuilt — with the waypoint layer on, 10 fps → 60 fps, holding steady while panning and zooming. Older machines and Macs in particular should feel the difference.🛫 Traffic & Routing Overhaul
Background traffic no longer disappears shortly after entering the sim — noticeably fuller scopes over a full session
130 routes that stopped short of their destination now run all the way, supported by 134 new waypoints
FlightData Tool - Modify your Routings on the go (e.g. to avoid thunderstorms)
📡 Radar, Handoffs & Conflict Detection
Correct handoff frequencies — resolved live from the aircraft's route, so weather reroutes and directs stay accurate
New FREQ toggle under DISP shows neighbouring sector frequencies at the sector edges
Conflict alerts stay alive across sessions — STCA, MTCA and the conflict panel no longer go silent after your first sector
Uniform radar target size — heavy aircraft no longer get oversized symbols
Sector allocation: You can now see you assigned levels ingame on the top-left (user request)
🖥️ Redesigned Display Settings
A cleaner two-column layout with new controls: radar target size, radar background, per-status label colours and label width. Plus import/export — save and load your entire display configuration as a JSON file and carry your setup between machines.🔧 Also fixed
Aircraft checking in below the sector floor, departures freezing after a handoff, clearances landing on non-standard flight levels, correct US emergency diversion airports, controllers addressed as "Center" where that's the right term, and music no longer stuttering at app start.
Happy controlling! ✈️
