From f852c8f2d5fedf6c2c7f11e5642583c734a4adc5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: itsrubberduck Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 09:59:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(live-atc): teach the rare events on demand MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A rejected take-off and a go-around both happen by chance about once in five hundred flights, which is the point of them — you cannot practise reacting to something you were told to expect. That also made them impossible to teach. Two switches under Special scenarios force either on the next flight. They are read when the session is created rather than watched, so flipping one mid-flight applies to the following one — which is how an instructor sets it up without the pilot seeing it coming. Only a switched-on value is sent: the backend reads the variable's absence as "leave it to chance", so sending false would pin the roll off instead of leaving it alone. Styled amber rather than the usual cyan, and the consequence is spelled out while either is armed: neither scenario continues to the stand. --- .../live-atc/cockpit/SettingsSheet.vue | 38 +++++++++++++++++++ app/composables/useLiveAtcSession.ts | 16 +++++++- app/pages/live-atc.vue | 9 +++++ 3 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/app/components/live-atc/cockpit/SettingsSheet.vue b/app/components/live-atc/cockpit/SettingsSheet.vue index d381e65..ed3c14e 100644 --- a/app/components/live-atc/cockpit/SettingsSheet.vue +++ b/app/components/live-atc/cockpit/SettingsSheet.vue @@ -21,6 +21,8 @@ const prerecEnabled = defineModel('prerecEnabled', { required: true }) const prerecSeconds = defineModel('prerecSeconds', { required: true }) const aiTrafficEnabled = defineModel('aiTrafficEnabled', { required: true }) const autoTuneEnabled = defineModel('autoTuneEnabled', { required: true }) +const forceRto = defineModel('forceRto', { required: true }) +const forceGoAround = defineModel('forceGoAround', { required: true }) /** * Shown while AI traffic is on.

Special scenarios

+ Force a rare event on the next flight instead of waiting for it. Both + otherwise occur by chance, about once in five hundred flights. +

+
+ + + +

+ Applies when you start the next flight. A rejected take-off ends with + the aircraft stopped on the runway; a go-around sends you back to + Approach — neither continues to the stand. +
