Hi,
Sorry changed my name now - sorry about that!
Thanks for the quick reply.
In regards to topic 1 - I agree, but I like the quick tabs at the side of the screen. Using AI utilities such as UTL, I like to see whats in the surrounding area before take off / landing as you know that we still have major issues in P3D with AI not acting realistically with ATC.
In regards to point 2 - Agreed however, we don't always have online presence and if using AI, it would be nice to see if the airline you are flying with has an allocated gate that is available.
Back to memorizing countries it is then!
