Your requests and reports: conditional voice instructions, a turn side on every direct, a label size slider and your own mouse cursor.
Controls
- Voice: "when established, contact tower" and "when established, reduce speed 160" are read back and carried out once the aircraft is established on the localizer.
- Voice: "at 4 miles final, contact tower" and "at 4 DME, reduce speed 160" wait until the aircraft is that far from the runway. "After passing 3000 feet" can now hold a frequency change too.
- Voice: "when established, descend on the glide path" clears an aircraft that has the localizer only for the full approach.
- Voice: a turn side now goes with every direct, such as "turn left direct SUGOL" or "direct SPY, left turn", and "fly direct" counts as a direct.
- Voice: on some keyboards push-to-talk lost the recording while the key was held down. That is fixed.
- TID: one LVL digit is read as thousands of feet, as an altitude up to the transition altitude and as a flight level above it: LVL 3 is 3000 ft and LVL 5 is FL050.
- TID: RTE stays available while you fill in a COSYS message's conditions.
- With COMMAND OFF, EXE writes the exact level, heading and speed on the tag instead of the nearest row in the list.
- Remote TID: the QR code now holds the address your phone can actually reach.
- The label size shortcut is listed on the CONTROLS page of the settings.
Area control (multisector)
- COSYS: EDIT on an active Holding in force changes its release to the expected approach time, EAT plus 5 to 30 minutes, or on request.
Approach
- The AUTO approach no longer holds up an arrival's base turn for an aircraft behind it that you can still make room for.
Academy
- An aircraft the lesson has locked refuses instructions from every input, voice included. In ILS and LOC intercept, DLH82F stays locked until the lesson asks for it.
- COSYS course: a PENDING card follows every request, and the holding scenario waits until both aircraft are really in the hold.
- An aircraft still with Academy Control no longer costs you points or disappears when its hold takes it outside the box.
Radar and screens
- Settings: LABEL SIZE is a slider from 70 to 200 %.
- Settings: you can import your own Windows mouse cursor (.cur), and REVERT brings back the crosshair.
- A released aircraft keeps its PTL through the transfer.
- Voice Auto Label Update off: a voice "contact" no longer marks the tag REL by itself or makes it small, and an aircraft you released keeps your notepad until the next controller takes it.
Multiplayer
- F8 pauses the game for everyone while you write a report.
- After a transfer between players, the pilot calls the next player after 12 to 20 seconds.
Crash reports
- Fixed a crash in the side panel ("Handle is not initialized").
- When you are connected to Discord, the report form fills in your Discord user ID. You can change or clear it.
This update is for Windows, Linux / SteamOS (Steam Deck) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel).
