Interesting idea, thanks for sharing. Mine is two weeks old, as well. As far as I can see, Republic operates for Delta Connection only very few flights, mostly to and from KBOS. I worked around that by changing those manually to CRJ9's operated by Endeavor (EDV/9E), as those already provide services to and from KDTW and are very comparable. That way, I have the Delta Connection livery for those flights, too. It seems like there aren't any Delta Connection liveries available for Embraer E175 in any of the add ons.

That sounds very interesting! But how do I do that? In my Airfields folder, they're only displayed with the ICAO code, not with the number... EDIT: My bad. Of course I have to look at the Airplanes folder, right?^^ So if I rename the "airplanes_texpack03" and "airplanes_texpack03.manifest" in, for example, "airplanes_texpack34" and "airplanes_texpack34.manifest", it should work?

Hey guys! I can see that in the updated Real Color for LAX, there's an American Eagle livery included for Republic Airways' Embraer 175. I'd like to utilize that for a custom schedule I created for PHL. Is that possible? With everything I tried so far, they either spawn in the default Republic livery or not at all. Any ideas? Thanks!

Valid question. I guess it depends on how complicated you'd want to make it. The most simple idea would probably be to let aircraft check all the terminals for the smallest suitable gate first before picking a bigger one. For example: Airline A is assigned to terminals 1 and 2. There's a medium size aircraft (e.g. Boeing 737 or Airbus A320) arriving. If there are no medium gates available at terminal A, it would then check for medium size gates at terminal 2, and only in the case when there are no medium size gates available either, it would then pick a large gate at terminal A. Another idea would be to simply make it possible to assign priorities to the terminals, possibly for each airline individually (in case more than one terminal is assigned to an airline). Or, more complicated, to even assign individual gates or ramps to the airlines or even individual flights in the schedule file.

Thanks guys! No wonder I didn't find anything useful with the search function, when it's buried deeply in an unrelated topic... 😄 I did find a work around and assigned Aloha to terminal 3 instead. I just hope that they have a better solution for that in the next version...

Hey guys! I have created a few custom schedules with EliGrim's amazing schedule creator. Can't praise him enough for building that tool, it's been a great help. I do have a question however, concerning the allocation of terminals. Every arriving flight will check for available gates/ramps in a specific order. In case you have assigned more than one terminal to a specific airline, the flight will check one terminal first, than the other. My question is: Is there any way to change that order, so that the flight doesn't check terminal A first and terminal B second, but the other way around? I've tried changing the order of terminals in the terminal file (putting terminal B ahead of terminal A), as it seemed to me that it's following the order of appearance in that file. But that didn't do the trick Specifically I'm concerned about the freight ramps at PHNL. I found that at the Terminal_Cargo North with its four ramps, there's not enough space to accommodate all Aloha Air Cargo and Northern Air Cargo operations. Since the accident of Transair flight 810, the FAA has grounded Rhoades Aviation. Therefore, there's more space available at Terminal_Cargo West. So I decided to put Aloha there, as well. As Cargo North has ramps suitable for large aircraft, but Cargo West only has ramps suitable for medium aircraft, I'd like to primarily use Cargo West for the 73F's, so that North doesn't get blocked by them in case a 76Y or other heavy arrives. Therefore, I'd like arriving aircraft to first check for available ramps at Cargo West and only secondly to check at Cargo North. Automatically, it primarily checks as North, though. Any ideas how to change that?

1. When they're pushed back and you tell them either the runway or the runway plus specific taxi instructions, they'll start taxiing immediately. That's normal. If you don't want them to taxi right away, just let them sit there and don't say anything to them. You're correct in so far that you can't tell them a specific intersection to take off from when they're still at the gate. You can only do that once they're pushed back. 2. That's a really minor issue. Depends on the airport. Sometimes they'll call tower, sometimes they'll call ground, sometime they'll call no one specifically. 3. There's no instruction. However, there is a work around for that. Tell them "Hold short of Taxiway xyz", and fill xyz with a taxiway they won't cross anyways. In that case, they'll only hold short of that taxiway - which they won't encounter - and the runway they're assigned to. Not ideal, but it works.

Thanks, that did the trick. Should've thought of that before, really. I couldn't even see the blue button before, it was just black script on white, like the rest of it.

Maybe I'm not aware what exactly is possible with FR24 and FA. How do you download data from FR24, for example? I would just copy and paste it to a word file - or directly into EliGrim's Custom Schedule Creator. While I can't do the latter with the data from flightera.net, I can certainly copy and paste it to a word document. Only obstacle is that it doesn't display the aircraft type used for the flight... You'll have to click on the flight number to see that. So yes, that is a lot more work... And, of course, you'd have to type in every flight manually to the schedule creator.

I've created a schedule for KSAN, using data imported from Flightradar24. There were no errors, so I compiled the project. On the download page, I receive this message: Your schedule is ready for download. In rare cases it may take a moment until the archive is ready and the download button works. The button doesn't work, indeed. I've waited for about an hour now... How long may said moment last?

Ah! Thanks for the link, I didn't know that. That is most interesting! You can actually search for arrivals/departures on specific dates and it'll provide the data for you. That's what I was looking for!

That's what I suspected... Actually, I have a business plan subscription to Flightradar 24 at the moment. With that, I can trace individual flights back to three years prior, but I can't find the option to view the complete activity at a given airport further back then 36 hours or so.

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a few custom schedules. I think I've got the hang of it pretty well by now. However, I can only find current airport data, which means of course reduced traffic due to the pandemic. Now, I'd like to create a few schedules with more traffic, according to pre-pandemic schedules, for example for KEWR and PHNL. Does anyone have an idea were I could get data for these airports for the summer 2019 season, for instance? Once I compiled those, I'm happy to share the schedules with you guys.

Yeah, that looks good. Anyways, that isn't the most important issue for me.

What I was mostly looking at were the aiport codes. In game, airports are identified by the ICAO code (which are often obsolete and sometimes never existed in the first place), while in the schedule file they're identified by the IATA code. I can't see a reason for that, but there may be one, of course. Would like to know the reason, though.
