2 Time Skip Improvement requests

  • Hey,


    I want to request 2 new Time Skip requests:

    1. Please add 2 points to the time skip procedure, where it’s forced to stop skipping.

    a) ETP

    b) 20nm before T/D - especially on long hauls, time skip actually often skips from e.g. 300nm before destination straight to short final. You can do another time skip if you want to go straight to short final


    2. The addition of real winds and clouds could be implemented in the same way, you did with fuel actually! I mean, real weather progress would be awesome but is hard to do. What I’m thinking of is this:

    If I spawn, real weather of my actual location is loaded and will be the same weather if I fly totally in real time without skipping. But if I fly with time skip, the weather is getting reloaded with the actual weather of the current location, closest airport or destination.


    In combination with the additional time skip points you can achieve a bit of real weather simulation when skipping shortly before ETP or T/D


    What do you think about that?


    Greetings

  • I've brought this issue up many times, but no one supported me. However, it's great that someone else has emerged who thinks like me. We need to keep this issue alive and get the producers' attention. I fully support this.

  • Just today was thinking how great would be to define different wind parameters for each leg in a flight plan, this would make gliders flight plans much more interesting.

    I hope we can have some variable weather possibilities in the future.

    Best regards, Juan
