Going through a phase where doing pattern work in MSFS2020 is fun and even a bit meditative. But man I wish its Live Traffic included all the other aircraft actually in the pattern at KVNY, KEMT, or wherever. Maybe it only includes aircraft that have filed flight plans?

I find the rare moments when the simulated tower warns me about another plane, or even better, warns them about me, magical.

I know that handling arbitrary aircraft with their arbitrary behavior into a sim in a way that makes sense is complex. E.g. if there are 3 real planes doing touch-and-go’s and then I join them, all of them may have to switch from being driven by ADS-B to AI-driven.

And really it’s more like going from 75% live data-driven to 75% AI-driven. Ideally they’d adjust their spacing to account for my presence in the pattern, but if the real plane stops practicing and parks, the sim plane should do that to.

When I look at what FS2020 already does to integrate real, live data in a way that (mostly) maintains the integrity of the simulated reality, I think wow, there’s a lot of under-appreciated effort that went into that.

FS2020 devs and data wranglers: I extremely appreciate you! I notice live traffic referencing their IFR flight plan destinations, and the tower telling real aircraft on final to go around because I can’t get off the runway fast enough. I love it!

Today I noticed that the option to ask ATC for clearance through an airspace depends on a prediction of your trajectory in 3D: if I’m flying level below a class C, the option isn’t there, but if I start climbing toward it the option appears.

Of course the next time I played FS2020 just did this crazy thing where I started with... someone else in my cockpit? With a steering wheel? I'll just check the external camera and...pic.twitter.com/boXh6xsYvK
