Flatout ATC

3.5.1 finishes the translations 3.5 missed: the command buttons, lesson results, the share sheet, season labels, purchase messages and the What's New title now appear in German, Spanish, French and Italian. On iPad the altitude selector is easier to use: the tape moves steadily under your finger, its numbers stay inside the box, the selected altitude shows in full, the panel reads clearly, and one row of ±1000 buttons replaces two. The wind now stays on screen, and the STAR, approach, hold, waypoint and conditional pickers open at the side of the screen, so the radar stays in view. New in 3.5: ground control rebuilt as shifts you can pass or fail, Detroit Metro on the ground, Arnsberg-Menden, a clearer radar, and an app half the size. Ground shifts: every ground shift brings a set list of aircraft, and each one ends clean or marked: parked at the wrong gate, sent around, late for its departure window, or stuck and towed. Work enough of them clean and the shift is yours. Endless keeps its running count. Go-arounds: an arrival sent around flies a circuit and comes back to land, and a second go-around sends it elsewhere. A go-around caused by an aircraft still rolling out after landing is not marked, and a returning arrival waits on final until the runway is clear. Your first shift: the first ground shift you play in 3.5 walks you through one aircraft, from final approach to takeoff. Skip it whenever you like, and replay it later from the ? button. Fuel: trucks now drive out to every parked aircraft on their own, and you can watch them work. Tap Fuel to move an aircraft to the front of the queue. Fuel never costs you a mark. Clearer shifts: every aircraft says what it needs next, its terminal lights up, and every mark says why it was given. A banner names the aircraft on final and the runway to keep clear, and aircraft are easier to tap in a crowd. Traffic: taxi-ins waiting for a full terminal pull aside to let departures out, hold back before a narrow approach so the way out stays open, and let a departure pass before heading for the gate it left. Detroit Metro on the ground: 133 gates across four concourses, mapped from OpenStreetMap. Arnsberg-Menden: one 1,055 metre runway between Dortmund's airliners and Paderborn/Lippstadt, with the Sauerland rising to the south. Find it on the Around the World shelf. Half the size: 3.5 needs about half the space of 3.4 on your device, and the download is just over a third of what it was. Every map and airport is still here. Also: a new altitude clearance shows on the data tag the moment you give it, and the tag's altitude counts in 100 ft steps; the data tag shows the altitude restriction of the leg a flight is on, in amber when your clearance breaks it; procedure violations no longer count an invented 20,000 ft limit, and the debrief's total matches its list; map labels never print on top of each other; the altitude pickers stop at each aircraft's real ceiling; on iPad the runway picker leaves the radar in view; Expedite works in every mode and in holds; no arrival appears inside terrain, and high fields show their elevation; a departure crossing its own runway on the way out is cleared to cross, with its takeoff clearance at the threshold; and ground maps run faster, dropping gate labels as you zoom out.
