Thanksgiving is an American Holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November of the year. In 2020 it was the 26th. This schedule is based off of the airplane movements in and out of KDFW on November 26th 2020 therefore in some hours there will be a major imbalance of arrivals to departures and that is just how it was in real life. You will need an updated terminal file to accomidate airlines such as Viva Aerobus, if there are any white planes then I apologize, I won't be able to fix GA planes but any cargo and/or passenger planes just type it below and I will take a look at it, the planes would be white though to accommodate for the accuracy. Enjoy
This schedule would not have been possible without the help of @crbascott @Ron C and @Braf123456

If “for me” means they are already in your terminal file, then you are using a modded file (possibly from another custom schedule).
Thanks, I have tested the schedule and it works. Will add extra terminal file just in case. The schedule was a success, thanks to all who helped. Once the schedule is posted I will link it here.

Regarding the terminal file, I didn't check the entire file but I quickly found two that caught my eye - MRA and FDY, since they didn't fly tubeliners..
For me FDY is in GA and MRA is in a cargo area terminal. Do I need to make any changes regarding that? I changed all the Envoy planes to Republic so they aren't all white.

Here is my fixed schedule, the only issue I am having is a lot of the regional planes in terminal B are white planes so I will be looking at the real color list.

Is your schedule based on an actual schedule? If not, then I would have liked to seen an overall more even balance of arrivals and departures for a few of the hours that are really top heavy in either arrivals or departures (e.g., 11:00: 8 arr/32 dep; 12:00: 1 arr/32 dep; 13:00: 8 arr/35 dep, etc.).
Yes, these were the real aircraft movements of KDFW on November 26th.

Actually for hour 11 I’m seeing 40 arrivals and 8 departures. Sure seems like it is out of balance - definitely not the norm for DFW.
@thepropilot747 I’d also suggest supplying your own (accurate) terminal file as your schedule has airlines that are not in the RT file. Not doing so will lead to dropped flights.
Yeah, it isn't that balanced but that is the real traffic movements of KDFW on November 26th 2020 (Thanksgiving), I screenshotted the flights from Flightradar24 also I do think all the airlines are in the terminal file. I checked all the ones that I wasn't familiar with myself. The only one that might not be there is the Viva Aero bus near the end which I will check.

Hello guys, I have finished working on my Thanksgiving 2020 Schedule for KDFW. I was wondering if you guys could test it out and recommend where changes could be made, you don't need to do the whole thing by any means but like just a small bit. Thanks.
-
Seeing as Christmas is upon us I have been thinking as soon as I finish my Thanksgiving 2020 schedule I get going on a Christmas Eve Schedule but I don’t want to create unneeded schedules so I don’t fill up the list and such so would you guys prefer a KDFW schedule or a KPHL schedule? These are the only two I can make since I don’t have other airports to actually test the schedule on before posting and KLAX is far too crazy for me right now.

Went through this thread hoping to find a solution to my problem too. 🤓
I have a custom schedule, works but when the game starts at nearest departure it goes forwards not backwards from start time ie: 00:00 --> 00:15 departure (not 23:55). Game then slams arrivals from 00:00-->00:15 at me. This happens no matter where I start the game goes back to the first arrival and is not following the clock.
Any thoughts?
The same happened with mine where whatever time I put the game would have a seizure and give me the same flight at a time I didn’t choose. It might not be the same problem but for me it was just some simple problems littered through the schedule such as missing comas, typos in IATA codes, typos in type of plane, and in general just small petty things that if went through with another look you could probably fix. Most of the people on the forum would also recommend you attach the file so they can look at it. Just from experience.

Now corrected.
Your last message to me was very misleading and I simply deleted it believing it was a problem you needed to fix yourself. My apologies on the latter, I should have communicated this to you.
@crbascott is correct that I am not around 24/7; especially considering I have other commitments now as have lost interest in Tower3D due to all the bugs still present.
Thank you for the clarification and for the work you have done to the community.

#1 - This forum is not a 24/7 activity for everyone ... even @pete_agreatguy - please have patience.
#2 - You saying "he hasn’t responded to my message yet" is unnecessary.
#3 - Your description of the "problem" is totally incorrect. The only problem is that the links to your custom schedules are switched. It doesn't affect the download at all.
#4 - You need to remember, Pete is a great guy. He'll get to it.
I am sorry, wasn’t trying to sound needy. I know the links are the issue, I misspoke. I know I need to have patience. Maybe the claim he hasn’t gotten to me yet was unnecessary but I saw it as like a status info like where the solution is in the timeline. And I am aware this isn’t a 24/7 thing for everyone just saying.

Hello, I created the COVID 19 DFW Schedule and while I have been trying to get to @pete_agreatguy he hasn’t responded to my message yet. Just wanted to give you guys the heads up that when you try and download by schedule it gives you @battlehawk77’s schedule and when you click on his it sends you to mine. Just a heads up.
-
Alright guys. Mission accomplished. I have posted the schedule and have PMed Pete_agreatguy to add it to his list. Thank you all for your help through the entire creation of this schedule. Have a great rest of your year and I hope to get working on my next schedule soon. COVID 19 Density KDFW CUSTOM Schedule - ATC Simulators - The simFlight Network Forums

Hello, so I decided to make a schedule for KDFW mimicking the traffic density during the COVID -19 Pandemic. This schedule is very light in the way of density with the most departures per hour being around 35. This is recommended for the beginner to the game or airport, or someone wanting really easy, casual, and slow gameplay. The project was started in April and I ended up taking a break in the summer but due to more time on my hands I finally finished it. I could not have made this schedule without the help of these amazing community members: Controller- Rouge, hexzed, 707FAN, bartccost, EliGrim, and crbascott. I would have been lost without them and their incredible help is what helped this project keep going. This was also a great easy schedule for me to start on and hopefully they should be better in the future. Thank you.

Will adding just one or two flights really make someone want to play those hours? I say stick to your principles and to the main point of the schedule.
True. Thanks for your help!

I tested it. It works! Thank you for the help! Now I have completed the visual graph for the post and am basically done but there seems to be a gap of literally no flights at 01:00, 02:00, and only one at 03:00. Now the point of the schedule is to be like a COVID schedule when air travel is lower but for gameplay's sake should I add like one or two flights in those slots or keep them empty?

@thepropilot747 I took parts of the Schedule Builder code, adapted and used them to analyze and correct/change your schedule; with the following result:
- Line 2, 474, 475 - blank line - corrected
- Line 361 - missing comma - corrected
- Line 159 - unknown airport - corrected (changed from QRD to QRO)
- Line 460 - airport not found in RT - corrected (added IDN/AYID to airports.txt)
- Line 374 - unknown aircraft - corrected (changed from E35 to ER3)
- Line 464 - discrepancy, airline no airfreight carrier or not serving airport - corrected (changed from DO102 to K4402) (note: flight number changed by hand to avoid duplicate)
!!! Changes were made automatically. There is no guarantee that all errors have been detected or that the changes made are in the interest of the schedule creator. !!!
The following multiple assignment of flight numbers was detected. No changes were made. Multiple use of the same flight number for the same airline may be a potential problem, but not necessarily and may be intentional.

Thank you so much for your help and hard work. These are very petty things that I am really annoyed at missing. Everyone that assisted in this will get honorable mentions and while I haven't tested it 100% yet (i'll do it in the morning as it is the middle of the night where I am) I do think that it should work or at least help. Thank you!

So, for 20:00 the time I was trying to load up, it works well and the sky is no longer flickering but the game only seems to want to load up night time and any time I try to load up the game between 03:00-14:00 it just does not load and sits at 63% loaded. For assistance here is the new edits I made to the schedule.

What @hexzed means is that the times are in the column for arrivals and not departures. You tell the game from line 411 to line 572 that all departures should start at 12:00. Over 160 flights within one minute is a bit exaggerated! 😉
Ok, Thanks for the clarification and am fixing it now.

Yes there is.
Line 377 has a semi colon
From line 410 the '12:00' does not line up with DFW
Lines 571 and 572 are missing a 1
Does all the flight info have to line up?

Looks like a misplaced comma here
I am facepalming so hard right now at that mistake, I guess it just gets lost in the flights. Sadly though the problem is persisting. Unless there is some more issues in here (which there probably is) then I guess I'll have to stick to my current schedule I downloaded.

The output_log.txt file is in the Steam\steamapps\common\Tower 3D Pro\tower3d_Datathere folder. There is a paper clip at the bottom of the text box you can drag the file into and it will attach it to your post for you when you find it.
It is a fairly big folder with multiple files. Do you want the entire folder or a specific file? Either way I would hope to see if there is just an irregularity in the schedule as it would probably be easier to fix.

Here you go crbascott

Can u post a game log
Sorry, I am new to this whole thing. How exactly do I do that? For reference I run my game on the steam version for Windows 10.

I am considering a new schedule, which one would you guys like to see if any? These are all I can do since TIST is a waste of time and the rest are the only ones I have and would prefer doing to be able to test before release.
