When changing the departing or arrival runways, a dialog comes up asking if you want to select new SIDs/STARs for these runways, and when you click yes, it updates the procedures for the current route only, but none of the routes in the “suggested routes” list, which remains populated with (sometimes incompatible) procedures instead.
The list actually updated if the current route and runway combination does not connect with a SID or STAR when you click “Find New Route”, so it doesn’t look like it would be overly difficult to trigger the same update code when changing runways?

@SimBrief have you been able to take a look?

Hi Tim, still undecided if this will be implemented. Generating the suggested routes list is very resource intensive. Refreshing the entire list any time a user changes runways (which is quite a common action by users) will almost certainly cause a noticeable increase to the server load.
The issue is not so much that the server can’t handle it, but that it would be a disproportionate impact considering the actual usefulness of the feature.
Still not 100% decided, need to either look into optimizing the backend or perhaps shifting some of the logic to the frontend. Either way it isn’t an easy fix and will take some time, which unfortunately also brings the priority down.
Best regards,
Makes sense. In theory, it should only refresh the procedures, but I understand this cannot be presently decoupled from a complete refresh.
Regards,
Tim
