• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSX Number of approaches

Is there a limit to the number of approaches to any airport. 2 of my airports are KLAX and KORD. How many approach transitions can you have. Sometimes when I on approach and ATC tells me 1 approach I ask for another, but when the approaches come up sometimes they are there and other times they are not. I use mostly GPS, but sometime I also us RNAV if there's a GPS-Y or GPS-Z. But those big airports have many approaches and I use transitions that are within 50nm so once they clear me to that fix I can do the STAR until turning on final then contact tower.

John, I have 31 approaches for my version of KATL. If there's a limit it's above that.

I guess I should have said, how many transitions within an approach. Today I did a flight to KORD using the TRTLL STAR. I had added it yesterday. When I looked for the app to ask atc, it wasn't there, but the other ones I had to that I had for that runway (27L) were. Also, sometimes none are there and other times they are. I guess it's the mood that FSX is in. There are 14 STARS into KORD. So I could have 14 or more transitions, however, some may have like the WYNDE 7 and ERNNY 3 both use ERNNY waypoint so I can just use ERNNY for the transition for both STARS.
