Hi All, *** Master List files updated (now Version 6 - A4 and Letter formats as before) *** This update includes the EGKK RC details from yesterday's release plus a first look at the additional liveries that are being added to the KJFK RC (Manifest 04) original release following the requests put forward to @crbascott late last year from forum members. This should be released any day soon by Gabor at @nyergesdesignso keep your eyes posted on the forum for updates. Remember this is just an update to the RC files NOT the RT or the airport! I am sure a new schedule covering these new liveries will be posted any day soon by someone ....😉 Thank you Gabor for this FREE update following on from the KLAX one last year and also to @hexzedwho did the testing for these. Listed below are the additions for the KJFK update: (Ben - Let me know if I have missed any!) In addition Gabor has updated the liveries for the A333 SWISS and B739 Alaska and B744 Lufthansa & B748 Lufthansa in the original release. Gary

Thanks Pete. Nice find and useful to operate the A380 correctly around the airport.

Hi all, The revised Master RC Files (version 6) should be uploaded tomorrow to include the Gatwick RC details and also the soon to be released JFK RC revamp details made by Gabor at @nyergesdesign. 👍 Gary

There was talk of United going into Gatwick but nothing materialised. I wouldn't worry too much about it AlaskaGuy. I am sure that once FT release Gatwick there will be plenty of custom shedules to overwrite everything! 👍 Gary

Thanks Pete, Some excellent stuff on here for Gatwick to view 👍 Gary

In preparation for when it does get released by FeelThere, an excellent YT video here on how it operates with planes on final as one takes off using 26L 😆 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8h_cJnszrI Listening to ATC overdub on this one you may be able to make good use of the line up and wait behind next landing aircraft in game play (albeit not with the aircraft type and company as is used in real life) 😀 Gary

Thanks Chris, I must be psychic then to add them in advance!. Have removed until such time as they are released by Gabor in a future airport or RC update on an existing once they are in service! Rgds Gary

Patience Ben! All will be revealed soon...but the answer is no, it itsn't 🤗 Gary

Cheers Ben, Will remove from my files then and update the Master Schedule for the new release hopefully next week with the Gatwick and JFK revamp details 😁 G PS - Ben, do you ever sleep!

Thanks AlaskaGuy, I don't own EDDS so cannot check if its in the manifest or not so can someone out there let me know if a321_ew is in there or not or in any other airport released so far? Gabor @nyergesdesign - Can you check your files please and let me know Thanks Gary

Interesting article on the BBC website.. Doesn't make good reading ☹️ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47278322

Hi all, Got back to running Boston again today and watching on FR24 noticed that they use the runways a lot when helping to sort out the taxi mess you can easily get into with KBOS. Remember not so long back that someone in a thread posted the set of instructions of the commands to add to allow this to happen and the file and lines space you should add this to. (If I remember it works for arrivals only, not departures) Can someone point me in the direction of the thread it was in or repost in this thread? Many thanks in advance. Gary

Thanks Ben, I did wonder if it would be or not and was going to reach out to you last night but fell asleep in front of the TV! (have sent you a PM message on this) Gavin - There you go, No 787-10 yet 😥 Does anyone fly it into JFK yet? Think its only Newark Gary

Hi Gavin, Do any of these fly into JFK as I know Gabor is working on a revision to this RC at present? If not will probably need wait until a new airport is released that is in the pipeline to add or an updated RC for one of the existing airports such as SFO. This would also need to be added into the airplanes_txt file, otherwise custom schedules will run into the issues like with the 220 you have with LEBL for each airport as the 787-10 is not in any at present from memory (maybe as 78X but that's for Gabor to decide). Hope this helps Gary

I am sure there are some clever people on this forum of an age that could come up with a pretty realistic schedule that would be fit and appropriate for a retro period... On the subject of retro liveries this one comes back into service with BA on Monday to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Will stay on the aircraft (G-BYGC) until they retire it in 2023 😁

Gavin, Having written one to test LEBL for Gabor I know how much work goes into one day let alone 7! Great stuff and look forward to giving this a bash...😀 Gary

Look at the specific airlines website. That normally gives you a clue as to when they operate their seasonal flights

Braaf, What's the fascination with Neo aircraft..surely its the same base model but with a slightly bigger engine which based on the quality of the game graphics will be pretty much indeterminable 🤔 The easyJet one will at least have Neo written on the side of the fuselage though mind you ! Gary

Gabor at @nyergesdesignhas been working on this recently (see the Real Color - A New Concept topic) and @hexzedhad offered to test for him so I would imagine that its just being finalised and tested ready for release soon. Gary

Tried testing this one this morning and every DLH flight I tried using 25R @ R6 and gave taxi instructions to follow worked fine for me so not sure what the issue is. As Joe says, will probably need to see a log to work this one out Gary

Hi Kev, Spent many hours looking at LEBL set up when testing this for Gabor and they never use RWY 2 for take offs and hardly ever use RWY2 approach and 7L for take offs during the hours outside of 2300-0700, probably as you say that it is just too busy. If you want to have some fun and a real challenge for LEBL try running it just using 25L or 7R, dependent on winds when you run it, for takeoff and landings during the 0700 to 2300 hours as Barcelona did in late November/early December 2018 whilst they did some maintenance on 25R/7L. In real life the average delay time was nearly an hour during most days! Have tried this using my own accurate custom schedule based on a day in November I built for testing purposes and its gets a tad busy 😅 Gary

I am putting together an email to Gabor for any updated SP for LEBL 're a similar thing I have noticed on the hold points on delta1 and echo1 for Rwy2 and where aircraft hold short of 25R on M so will add this to the email Jonas. Rgds Gary

Maybe that's why Barcelona never uses RWY 2 for departures in the "real" world ! 😂

This is correct and happens at other airports ( ie KBOS, KLAX, KJFK for example) If 7L was active for arrivals there would be a conflict. The same happens on Kilo for Runway 2 and at the other end at 25R. To pass this just issue a hold short of Runway xx or taxiway x to stop them holding but IF planes are landing you will get a conflict. Gary

Completely agree Wayne/Vic/Kev Would make life a lot easier. Would just need to remember to add any "custom" schedule additions each time a FT updated version came out as it would not necessarily include these? Gary
