  1. Search Google for the airport standard operational procedures (SOP's) and/or Jeppersen Charts etc. There is a wealth of info out there by searching on the web
  2. They are not fictitous? They are real life cargo operators who have/and do fly into Heathrow historically and currently and have been added to the RC for those that want to create their own schedules and not stick ridgely to the published schedule to suit their own requirements (as per certain You Tubers and other such entertainment media!)
  3. Have you updated your RT from yesterday after the EGLL release as this may cure it as it looks like an RT issue but others may have some insight
  4. Real traffic is based around real life operations of 11th Dec 2019 (pre covid to get maximum benefit) with some minor alterations for game deficiencies and RT timings and some minor additional cargo from March this year for enjoyment. RC cargo is genuine not fictitious and more liveried have been added in the RC than in the RT from recent observations to allow "custom" schedules to be created for more modern day activity if required and more value for money. This from viewing FR from October/November this year and watching big jet TV. Look and you will see them. BA Shuttle is the call sign for UK domestic BA (so is BA livery) to allow ATC to path them quickly if required (search Google or watch FR call signs and you will see) or listen to live ATC ops. Game will not allow alpha characters as call signs unfortunately (it ignores them) so cannot 100% replicate real life so wil probably have the BA flight number but prefixed with the Shuttle SHT call sign rather than Speedbird BA, So in an example from earlier today I guess it would show as BA1445 in the schedule as an BA livery A319 with the the SHT Shuttle call sign as a domestic UK BA flight
  5. Master File Vs23.0 released with EGLL RC details, errors in previous version corrected and known airline operational fleet updates
  6. Good. The xxxx_airplane.txt file is your friend, although that has given me and idea for Vs 23 due out soon! 🤔
  7. Thanks Daniel. File will be updated in next release shortly as per comments above Appreciated Gary
  8. Hi Vic, Just tried in the UK and seems to be as it was before for me but I am running in a high speed fibre area so may not be an accurate test. Moves from page to page with very little lag if any Rgds Gary
  9. Guys Before the mods interject, this topic is to do with the RC master list so anything else, start a new topic.😉 Thks G
  10. Almost but not quite there yet! 1. You can change the call sign in the airlines. txt file to what you want so that will work 👍🏽 2. However, this will not work PER,MEL,737,QE,7393,00:45,00:00,1,QE as there is no B737_QE in the RC (look at my spreadsheet). The only QE planes are: B733_qe YMML texpack_19 qe Express Freighters Australia B734_qe YMML texpack_19 qe Express Freighters Australia Therefore you will need to amend the 737 to 733 or 734 for it to show up in livery otherwise it will be in white. Also for info, they are also the window freighters as they were before the new non-window version of cargo planes were introduced by NygeresDesign and have not been updated ALSO for info in your example unless you have a departure prior to the arrival time of 00:45 it will not spawn until the first departure of the day is scheduled as that's the way the game works
  11. Yep, pretty much what EliGrim said as well and I forgot about the airports.txt file as well. Basically unless your RC exists in a RC manifest , the airplane is in the airplane.txt file, the airline is in the airline.txt file, the airport is in the airport.txt file and your schedule is in the correct format your flying ducks will stay non flying! Clear as mud really 😬
  12. OK QantasFan lets try and get this sorted and don't worry it is a little confusing until you get your head around it.😕 AS background, as @crbascottsaid I am just the keeper of this painful list and report in one place what is in each RC pack produced for a consolidated view for forum members for my sins. I try and keep this updated as far as I can and influence NyergesDesign to add new models/liveries where I can, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. "patches" for RC are rare and far between to manage your expectations and generally only occur for the more popular older airports RC so I would doubt that for YMML this would happen to be honest but if the particular airlines/types you mention fly into and out of upcoming releases they should get spotted and potentially added . To answer your specific questions if I can (and I am sure others will correct this if I get it wrong!) It will work if you add an A35K rotation in your YMML schedule if you do the following (and this process applies to any airline/type etc) 1. You OWN one of the packs that the QR A35K is in (and as pointed out it is in the 3 airports mentioned above currently) - For info the game loads the packs in order so IF a livery is updated in a later pack it will override earlier iterations and show the latest livery in gameplay 2. The aircraft (in this example the A35K) is in that particular airports airplane file. In this case for YMML it is NOT therefore you need to add the one particular line to the ymml_airplanes.txt file) for it to spawn correctly. The line is A35K-351-AIRBUS INDUSTRIE A350-1000 -WIDE BODY JET You just need to add the line in and save it, no need to copy another airplanes.txt file in its entirety unless you want to but it obviously must have the specific airplane you want in it. As a general rule of thumb the latest airport released will normally be the full list of current airplanes available. NOTE: The Bolded 3 letter number is the one you use in game play in the schedule. 3. The airline is in the airlines.txt file which in this case it obviously is as QTR, QR, QATARI, Qatar Airways, Qatar so no worries 4. The flight is obviously in the schedule for it to spawn. Had a quick look at the published schedule and the only one I can see for YMML is currently the A388 one of DOH, MEL, 388, QR, 904, 17:53, 12:00, 1, QR. So for your example to appear this would need to appear as: DOH, MEL, 351, QR, 904, 17:53, 12:00, 1, QR Of course you can add your own version of what you want to do and provided you follow the same rules it will work. As an example if you wanted to add an outbound rotation it could be something like this: MEL, DOH, 351, QR, 905, 12:00, 21:10, 1, QR Hey presto, when you play provided you do the above steps it should appear! 😍 Other general rules. Always update your Real Traffic file when a new airport is released to make sure you have the latest version. Its free as you already bought the link (just use your purchased code) but a lot of people fall foul of this and wonder why sometimes they get no shows or white planes. Also, IF you have previously made amendments to any of the RT files (ie in this case the ymml_airplanes.txt file and potentially the ymml_schedule.txt file)IT will overwrite your changes so save your amendments in a custom schedule file to then put them back in for your changes to show in future game play. Hope this helps G
  13. Yep but a pain in the wotsit to download a days data load unless I am missing something obvious 🥺
  14. I probably got over excited with the drop down as there are so many United aircraft types at KIAD! UPDATED: Have checked all the United Aircraft in the RC FIle and they are all in the NEW livery except the B73G_UA (B737_UA), B753_UA and indeed the B788_UA. Apologies for my drag down slip. I have given myself a good talking too and will try not to let it happen again! 😬 However, for those that cannot wait for the news the B788_UA livery WILL be updated in the next RC to be released (not saying what that will be or when! 😉)
  15. I am slipping up in my old age! I can always rely on you to cheer me up Craig 🤣
  16. Master File Vs22.0 released with KIAD RC details and known airline operational fleet updates
  17. Interim update to keep all you LOT voyeurs' happy! 😁
  18. Sorry me bad...I do try and keep the special comments up to date as much as possible off the side of the desk but with over 3000 lines and counting I do miss some....As my teachers said many years ago, I must try harder and will update the LOT E190 as a special livery in the Copenhagen line for version 22 🤦‍♂️ 😬
  19. Pretty good guess in my part then! 😁 Thanks for the the responses guys Gary
  20. Has anyone any idea where the GA area is at London Heathrow? I know due to the amount of traffic on a Commercial/Cargo basis that there is very little due to available landing/take off slots but there do appear to be the occasional GA flight that makes it in and out but cannot see on any map where they reside. I am assuming its on the southern side of the runways, possible between the Cargo area and Terminal 4 where the Royal Suite is etc or the Eastern side by the Maintenance base is? Anyone with informed local knowledge that can provide me with an accurate situ please 👍🏽
  21. Master File vs21.0 released on front page covering today's Newark Liberty International RC release by Nyerges Design
  22. Reported to Gabor at @nyergesdesign
  23. So until Gabor fixes the RT at next release just find and replace FAJS with FAOR in the faor_gaandlocaltraffic.txt file for those that feel confident to do it?
