Any chance of getting some bug fixes or some work arounds?
I've come back to the game after a long break and am enjoying it again. However, I'm also getting reacquainted with some of the bugs including the showstopper bugs.

So on Barcelona, for example, I'm routinely seeing taxi lines getting stuck where the planes just won't move. In these cases, the "Traffic Jam" button doe *not* pop up.

If this bug is too hard to fix, it would be great to just have the "traffic jam" button available for these situations because it works great in other situations (I'm actually not sure why it's not showing up here).

The #1 spot I'm seeing this on Barcelona is on the right side of the map where two taxi points are joined, which are some of the 07R arrivals and some of the 07L arrivals. When they come together at this Y point, the often get stuck.

Eventually they will sometimes come unstuck on their own, but I am unable to force it.

It would also be great to have an option to eliminate these off screen crashes that I really can't do anything about. In madness mode, which is what I normally play, it's almost non stop off screen crashes, ...at least that's what is sounds like. In madness mode, personally, I consider my job to done once the planes go off screen and these constant crashing sounds kind of drive me crazy after awhile. I don't want to turn all of the sound off.....just this one annoying thing.

Anyway, it's an old game, I know, but it's nice when old games get a few tweaks, fixes and features . The stuck taxi bug is really a show stopper, so having the "jam" button would be great for that.

Also, another work around which might be easy to implement, I don't know, would be to add a button that says, "Remove Plane". Clicking this would just delete it altogether.

Oh, and the "blocked takeoffs" bug is still in this one. Would be great actually to have this as an option in settings, so users can decide if they want the extra challenge of blocked takeoffs and landings, or shutdown runways, or not. I would use it frequently as an option, and then ideally allow us to select which runways we want to either shutdown totally, or block takeoffs or landings, and also allow it to be "random" (but not too often that it kills the game, or allow us to set a timer for each one, i.e., 2-5 minutes each time, or just have a button on screen that allows us to toggle it manually on the fly.
