FlatoutATC 3.6
What's new
Available now on the App Store.
Rush Hour, Atlanta on the ground, radar alerts, a rebuilt USS Carrier, and a New in 3.6 shelf at the top of the catalogue.
Rush Hour
A new way to play Endless. Traffic comes in long waves, arrivals first, then a short turnaround, then the departures, flown by the airport's own fleet, with more aircraft in the air at once than Endless at the same difficulty. Each airport keeps its own Rush Hour best.
Atlanta on the ground
Hartsfield-Jackson joins ground control with its real runway split. Arrivals land on the outer runways and departures leave from the inner pair.
Radar alerts
An amber line joins two aircraft that will lose separation unless you act, and counts down the seconds, and a departure ready for Center blinks until you hand it off. You can switch both off in Settings.
USS Carrier, rebuilt around the moving ship
The new Marshal command sends fighters to a holding stack behind the deck and helicopters to a holding point beside it, and new fighters check in already on their way to the stack. A board shows the deck and the next fighter, the deck counts down before it turns, and every fighter's landing is graded.
New in 3.6
The shelf at the top of the catalogue holds Atlanta's ground and Rush Hour at Detroit, Dubai and Haneda, each marked NEW until you open it.
Help in the shift
The ? button now explains flight strips, handoffs, the wind, sending a helicopter to its pad and getting more traffic, the same on iPhone and iPad. On iPad the Handoff button is in the menu before it arms, grey, and says why. Each difficulty now says what it changes.
Also in 3.6
- Thunderstorms no longer settle over an airport.
- The radar's wind arrow turns whenever the wind changes and the ground screen's arrow now points to where the wind comes from.
- A go-around never descends and reads back the altitude it flies.
- A live shift that meets its goal counts as complete and can be rated.
- Two taxiing aircraft no longer stop at the same hold line.
- Helipads are listed by the names the radar shows.
- Many lines that appeared only in English are now translated.
