[ATC] - Control between Approach and Departure Manager

**:placard: Title Format (required): **
optimized Runway operation between two parallel Runways using example GRU

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Playing the tower manager in high speed operation (+6%), but with the departing manager paused (in break), it is possible to handle at least 20 planes more per hour as with active departing manager. The difference of operation (manuelly or automatic departing) is not depending on the configurations of the tower manager, it depends on the introduced safety regulations in the game, which prevents landing due to aircraft taking off.

Maybe it is possible to create a feature, with which it is possible to control the handling much better between two ore more parallel runways.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
With such a feature it will be possible to block departing planes and let them wait up to this point either landing permission was granted for an approaching plane at parallel Runways .

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
So we could reach the same output of the game process as we can reach manually and as it was possible before update 3.0 came out, which introduced safety regulations, like in real world of airport management

:camera_with_flash: Optional: Image or reference
For example in GRU, my departing planes have to wait up to this point either landing permission was granted for an approaching plane at Rwy 10R or Rwy 10L is free again from crossing planes



Maybe it is possible for Devs bring a change in one of the next updates to stop all departing planes for two seconds at the holding position at departing runway before they get the clearance from departing manager automatically. This would increase the output at the airport for faster progress, because the approach manager can land planes most of the time first.

I often encounter an issue at BKK where arriving aircraft stop crossing the runway and no longer land if there are too many departures. In reality, arriving aircraft waiting to cross the runway should be prioritized before allowing departing aircraft to take off.

In BKK you can manage now this with schedule manager. When i am playing for 2 hours or more, all the time much more than 200 handlers in use. Most time the slide bar for arriving planes which need a service ist filled up.
