Aircraft do not always reach target altitudes #777

Closed erikquinn closed 7 years ago

Aircraft will sometimes stop their climbs/descents near, but not AT the targeted altitude.

This can cause issues like that observed in #773, where attempts to compare that altitude against other values can lead to an incorrect conclusion by the simulator, and the wrong things are applied to the situation. We don't want that!

One option would be to add a helper function that could compare values with an acceptable level of error to filter out these false negatives, but that hardly seems necessary. The way the current physics work, there's no reason the aircraft should be stopping at an altitude of 10000.00011920929 when they are targeting 10000.

The ATC repository is being migrated to it's new home at https://github.com/openscope/openscope, and thus, all issues are being closed. If this is still an issue with the latest version of the sim (accessible at http://www.openscope.co), or is a feature you still think we are lacking, please reopen the issue at the new repo.

Please note that the vast majority of these issues have been copied to the new repository, or else are covered by other issues created there. See the below screenshot for what it looks like when your issue is known in the new repo:
