Destination ICAO disappears in "In Game" Menu

Juan90tf

After the today's Update when I set the destination ICAO and confirm it then the ICAO disappears and it is empty again.

Does anyone know the reason?

Hi Juan,
We haven't seen this one before, and we haven't been able to reproduce it.
If you restart the sim does it happen again? If so please get in touch with the support team and they can begin looking into it.
Thanks

@rich This is happening to me as well. Since I'm halfway through a 3 hour flight I can't just restart the sim. I'll see if there is traffic at my destination.

Hi,
Yep we are seeing it now as well. However, it won't be resetting your destination so it shouldn't prove to be a problem.
We'll have it fixed in the next update. In the meantime you can just set it once and if you do need to reopen the menu you don't need to set it again.

I too had the same issue on my first flight post-update. I shrugged it off and when I got to my destination there was no traffic.

However, when I shut down and relaunched the game to try the destination ICAO code again, it remained in the box.

Perhaps it’s not a consistent issue.

Whilst I’m here, I wish the window would be made larger when I click on the icon in the tool bar. I have to drag the corner of the box to increase its size in order to be able to see what I’m typing into the ICAO window.

@rich I just have arrived to the destination and everything was ok. There was traffic at the airport. I also was able to see some traffic during flight.

Thanks for the reply!!

Hi. I've noticed that once confirmed, the ICAO appears only after about 10 or 12 seconds when I reopen the FST panel. So it is here but for some reason it takes a while to reappear

@rich The ICAO entered in the ingame panels disappears; i've also noticed that if i insert it in the traffic control application it populates the "option file" inside the DBs folder, while if i insert it in the ingame panel it doesn't.
Is this normal behavior?

(Also, if I set it in the traffic control application, it populates the option file but if I close the application it delete the value inside the file.)

@andrea0921 Yes that sounds like the correct behaviour. The destination in the options ini is only for the TCC. We’re aware of the destination disappearing in the in game panel but it shouldn’t stop the traffic actually spawning.

@rich I confirm that I have the same issue. Unfortunately for me I am not seeing any traffic at the destination, where as I was on the previous version. Hopefully you will have this fixed soon as its really annoying after flying somewhere for a few hours to be met with.....................nothing

I too sometimes get the empty JF ICAO window when I re-open it after having set the destination.

However, if I go to type the ICAO again, the previous entry reappears. So yes, it does still appear to be registered, even if it’s hiding itself.

@jf-john Anyway, I made a flight this mornig and I had no traffic at destination airport. The update didn't resolve this issue.
Back to FSLTL.

@andrea0921 Hello,

Whilst we are getting quite a few reports that the stability of destination traffic has improved significantly with the latest update we are still trying to track down a few other possible causes affecting users. Because of the vast number of airports and potential flight plans we will need to collect a bit more info about your usage scenario's.

Departure airport:
Destination airport:
Default/Handcrafted or third party scenery in use:
Info such as use of time compression or the skip to function:
Method for entering destination (TCC, In game menu or MSFS flight plan):
