New: link taxiways between the runway and taxiway A

Five angled bitumen strips now cross the grass between the runway and the parallel taxiway.

The grass between the runway and taxiway A is no longer an unbroken strip. Five angled bitumen link taxiways now cross it, as they do in the aerial photographs of the real airfield.

What changed

  • Five paved links join the runway edge to taxiway A along its length, each slanted toward the Runway 31 end.
  • The links are the same asphalt as the runway and taxiway, so the pavement reads as one surface.

What did not change

  • The autopilot still lands in every weather preset, and flying with no input still ends in a crash.

跑道同滑行道 A 之間嗰片草地而家唔再係一條連續嘅草帶。五條斜斜嘅瀝青連接滑行道橫過晒草地，同真實機場嘅航拍相一樣。

改咗啲乜

  • 沿住滑行道 A，有五條鋪咗路面嘅連接道，由跑道邊連去滑行道 A，每條都斜向 31 跑道嗰端。
  • 連接道同跑道、滑行道用同一種瀝青，所以成片路面睇落係一體。

冇改嘅嘢

  • 自動導航喺每個天氣預設都仍然降落到，冇任何操作飛行仍然會墜毀。
