"Super Realistic" Mode#177

Combining a few of the suggestions, possibly adding into a super-realistic mode:

  • Randomized go arounds (that increase in bad weather or wind)
  • Situational go arounds (if a departing plane isn’t far enough down the runway)
  • Departure delays for wake turbulance
  • Either sequencing based on departure track or TRACON departure delay based on aircraft destination - you could also consider pre-scheduling preferred arrival runways)
  • At larger airports, planes moving back and forth to maintenance yards (or being tugged in from maintenance to a gate)
  • A plane not ready for takeoff
  • FOD sweeps where runways are shut down for 10 minutes
  • Ability to open / close certain taxiways and runways
  • Emergency scenarios
  • VIP movement (a ground stop no movement allowed for X minutes, no arrival clearance
  • Re-establish arrival (immediate go-around from arrival sequence and just turn back to base and jump in again)
  • Better visualization of airport-specifc STARS - my home airport (KRDU), most approaches pass pretty close parallel to the airport before they turn base, would love to see those visualized. I know the NY airports have some interesting ones as well, LAX/ATL are actually pretty boring in that regard.
