[SU4 Beta] SimConnect_SubscribeToFacilities_EX1 missing airports

Version: 1.6.11.0

Frequency: Consistently Frequently

Severity: High

Bug description:

Subscribing to SimConnect_SubscribeToFacilities_EX1 works fine, however, facility updates are not triggered reliably. Some airports are missing.
It’s like the radius of the first request is smaller than the distance to the next update.
This only started with SU4 beta. SU3 is still working fine.

Repro steps:

  1. Spawn at an airport and call SimConnect_SubscribeToFacilities_EX1
  2. It returns the expected airports just fine
  3. Use slew mode to move further away
  4. No updates to the reality bubble are triggered for a while. You can move/fly/slew to airports that have not been part of the initial airport list request
  5. When moving even further away, the callback with airports entering the reality bubble will work again

Edit: This issue has been reported by several users, and I was able to replicate it, but not reliably. Sometimes it’s working just fine.

I have reproduced the same. SimConnect_SubscribeToFacilities_EX1 returns expected airports nearby, but as soon as you fly to airports more than ~100nm away it no longer returns anything!

Reverted to SU3 and it always works as it should.

Any chance a Asobo dev can confirm whether this has been fixed in an upcoming SU4 update?

Numerous very popular third party addons depend on SimConnect_SubscribeToFacilities_EX1 to function.

As mentioned previously it always worked up until SU3, as of the first SU4 beta it no longer works consistently.

Thank you

Hi @FlyingRaccoon any chance you confirm whether this is being looked at and/or has been fixed in an upcoming SU4b update?

Hello @AtypicalFaun

We have replicated the issue, but there is no fix candidate yet.
I will update this thread as soon as there is one, hopefully for SU4.

Sylvain

Thank you Sylvain!

Hi @FlyingRaccoon

Just double checking, I know this was not fixed in 1.6.18 yet (I tested yesterday), any chance this was fixed in 1.6.19 released just now? (Or in a later build).

Thank you and have a good weekend

Hello @AtypicalFaun,

This is not fixed yet.
We will update the topic when we have some news to share about this.
