Resending flightplan to AI Airplanes causes waypoint loop

Version: 1.5.27.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High
(Low - quality of life, workflow optimization, rare enough to not impact production, etc…
High - critical but workarounds are available, important feature not working as expected, frequent enough to impact production
Blocker - prevents from working on the project, prevents from releasing the product)

Marketplace package name: if applicable

Context: /

Bug description:
After sending an AI Airplane a new Flightplan after it has gotten already a flightplan set it starts flying circles for the first 3-4 waypoints. (Waypoint 1-4 are removed from DevView when the AC has reached them) After waypoint 4 the whole flightplan seems to be reloaded and the AC flies back to the first waypoint.

Use-case:
Inject AI parked at the gate, send it a flightplan to start the departure procedure. After it got their taxi clearance and the assigned runway is known, update the provided flightplan with SID wayspoints, since the ingame ATC does not take those by default into account yet.

(This worked before SU3)
Repro steps:

  1. Injected parked airplane
  2. Send Waypoint without SID waypoints
  3. Wait till it taxing
  4. Send new PLN file with SID waypoint

Attachments:


Seems between WP4 and WP5 (green marker) the whole FP is reloaded.

Hello @Kaiii3

I could not replicate this behavior with the PLN files I tested so far.
Can you please provide us with the 2 PLNs you load in order to trigger this behavior?

Regards,
Sylvain

Hey @FlyingRaccoon

I will pack you guys a sample project to run :slight_smile:

Hey @FlyingRaccoon

Sample has been send to the privatecontent group.

A new observation while creating my test-package, for some airplanes it works for others not.
In my case:
CL415 Firefighting → no issues
737 MAX 8 BBJ → returns to WP1

Not sure what could cause this now…

Greetings,

Thank you, I could replicate the issue.
Does this happen with a lot of flight plans or this is the only case you have witnessed so far?

Sylvain

Hey, I have tested at LPPT with different SID routes and almost all had the issue.

Not checked other airports so far, but I can check them later today.

Strange is the fact that it is AC depending?
