Something that I’ve noticed is still missing despite some of the new autopilot adjustments is the ability to select a waypoint as a fly-over vs. a fly-by waypoint. Many procedures around the world require pilots to fly over a waypoint rather than turning before crossing the point. Fly-by waypoints allow the aircraft to start turning before reaching the point for efficient, smooth transitions (which is what we currently have in Infinite Flight), while fly-over waypoints require the aircraft to pass directly over the point before turning, ensuring precision for critical points like missed approaches, and are marked by a circle on charts. The key difference is turn anticipation: fly-by uses it, fly-over does not.
Enter my poorly visualized Google Slides masterpiece! In Infinite Flight all waypoint connections are automatically flown as fly-by turns, which would be indicated on the chart by a magenta line. However, the proper routing requires a fly-over turn, taking a completely different trajectory to what would be drawn in Infinite Flight at the moment.
Adding the ability to select a waypoint as either a fly-over or a fly-by waypoint would increase realism procedures tenfold and allow pilots to better follow published charts. Though not a huge deal at the end of the day, I’d still appreciate if you could spare a vote.
