Correct order of Dep/Arr Items

Currently, arrival and departure runway information (if selected via the two lists on the left side) is placed before the departure/arrival notices. To match the .65 and real-world ATISes (with the latter likely due to the the former), I'd like to request the two to be swapped. That is, approaches in use should appear before runway information.

 

Related to runway information, could you consider adding some logic to combine arrival/departure runways if possible? For example, at KSBA, you'll hear "Landing and departing runway 25 and runways 15 left and right." I'm not sure if the "left and right" contraction is 100% legal and/or explicitly allowed by the .65, but at least consider the "landing and departing" combination (as ATISMaker did).

You could do that manually by typing it in as freetext. I don't use the runway list for MSP at all.

Quite true, and in fact for places like KLAX I would agree - using the list would be pointless since you'd already have the runway information based on the approaches in use and simultaneous instrument departures notification.

 

But for a simpler place like KSBA where it's just "VOR/GPS and visual approaches in use"... it'd nice to click a few rows and have the program automatically add "landing and departing runway 25, runway 15L, and runway 15R."

SBA doesn't have D-ATIS r/w. Suck it up and record it yourself!

I will err on the side of realism over many other things... but my laziness is not always one of them.

I've had a few complaints about this; I'll make the change in the next update.
