• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

How does the AI Planes Taxi Into Position and Hold?

Yes you guessed it right... This ATC call makes most simmers get quite excited because it is the Signal to be in Line for Takeoff.

November 2006 I bought the All New FSX and tried it out. In minutes I could see how the things had been tweaked from my Favorite FS9.

Particularly, the Command "Taxi Into Position and Hold!" I noticed that virtually any AI Aircraft or user aircraft, got this command by the TOWER, more effectively than in FS9.

As you may know, in FS9 with the factory settings this command is only granted to an aircraft Holding short of the Runway, with the other Taking off. This command is never given to an aircraft Holding short of the runway awaiting for another to Land till the landing aircraft exits the runway, which usually takes some time.

In FSX I've noticed that irrespective of whether an aircraft is landing or taking off, once the aircraft crossed a certain area of the runway while on the ground or from above while landing, the TOWER granted permission for the Holding aircraft to TAXI into Position and Hold, till the aircraft left the runway or took off, if no other aircraft was cleared and in line to land at that runway, following the one that landed or just took off.

I found this ATC logic to be incredibly realistic and perhaps imagined if I could do the same in FS9. I would love to get your inputs and perhaps work in doing so with Fs9.

Cheers,

Amit.
