route to the same airport and runway. However, due to interactive
limitations with AI traffic this feature is not very elegant so we basically
only deal with traffic behind you.
SIDs and STARs
Another exciting feature we‘ve added is the ability to fly a published
departure. ProFlight 2000 always did allow you to fly a published
approach, simply by using a hotkey to request a „Cleared to Finals“.
Now, thanks to PFE you can select to fly a SID (DP) of your choice. You
can even give it a name (Alpha-Two-Romeo for instance) which will be
included in the clearance and takeoff instructions you receive.
With no SID departures in place the standard ProFlight clearance
would be „Cleared for takeoff, runway nine, fly runway heading“.
Using the new SID feature you would hear „Cleared for takeoff,
runway nine, alpha-two-romeo at five thousand departure approved“.
You would then fly whatever published departure you want, with no
further ATC interaction, until you reach the altitude given in the ta-
keoff clearence, at which point ATC would kick in again and give you
any altitude instructions accordingly. Please note, SID altitudes can be
set in the SID/STAR options display too, but should you choose to leave
this at zero for any configured SID then PFE will work one out for you.
Transition Altitudes by Region
Yes you can now set the correct transition altitude for up to 26 dif-
ferent (ProFlight) geographical regions, so flying from one country to
another could result in the TA changing on route.
