    Craig, this is pretty usual for busy airports to hand off the the planes to Departure asap. So if you want to be a better controller I think you can simulate this separation already by considering the destination and instructing the planes to take off from the runways "closer" to their destination airport.

    Love this idea - will be trying this moving forward. I guess the caveat there is that SouthWest (for example) probably paid a pretty penny to get the terminal right beside the entrance to 24L? Would it make sense for a United flight going to EGLL go from essentially the start of 25R and taxi all the way to 25L? 

    I wonder if this would be something that would be dealt with in their flight plan?

    Not being picky / trying to start crap, genuinely curious on this one. The real answer if for me to just look at Flight Aware or FR24 and see what they did...

    It will make them more of a mess than they already are - at least as far as Tower!3D goes.

    Unfortunately, regional airlines are already a pain to deal with in the Terminal file. At LAX, Compass flew for both AAL and DAL but you can''t differentiate between the two without making up IATA/ICAO codes and sacrificing liveries. Skywest already flies for United at LAX and there is already a lack of parking spots in the UAL terminals. With Skywest adding DAL flights, it will just add to the ever increasing gate availability issue we have to deal with in T!3D,  

    I made a wishlist item to handle regional airlines better ... I hope it sees the light of day.

    Agreed. That's the same thing with Korean Air and KA Cargo -- same ICAO code.

    I think I'll have to take some artistic license on the terminal designations. If @DeltaVII's comment is correct, I'll be able to move the AA Compass flights to Envoy (but I'll have to divy up some of the planes between their fleet based on location (when I do my "LAX Only", things might have to get further imaginative...). Might have to let Skywest go to the Delta Terminal for the nature of the game (just because things are so congested in that United Terminal already).

    Stay tuned and thanks for the interest in the schedule 🙂

    @iamblue91 Just for your information, in case you want to update your schedule: Trans States Holdings has closed Compass Airlines a. k. a. "Compass" on April 5 (as well as Trans States Airlines - a. k. a. "Waterski" on April 1). Compass' Delta flights will be picked up by SkyWest and Republic, their American Eagle business will go to Envoy once the corona crisis is over (the TSA flights will go to ExpressJet a. k. a. "Acey").

    Thanks Delta - I made the schedule based on a March 30th schedule flights and actual flights -- this will have to be part of an on-going update. It takes a bit of time to update items.
    Wonder how this will impact Terminal designations at LAX? I'll take a look and might have to take some artistic license on the terminal designations.

  12. Opinion required, limited funds, my next choice during this lock down, which one for International traffic, LFPG, EDDF, OMDB, KLAS or LEBL

    EDDF is about as international as it gets.  It and OMDB are the two I would pick up first, plus, OMDB is on sale (by far the best looking airport they have done.  Beyond that, LEBL has a fun layout that offers unique ground handling challenges.

    Is it just me or are there routing issues on LEBL?

    Thank you for making this schedule; I’ve been hoping someone would put out new one since out of the six airports I have LAX is my favorite airport to play even though the airport’s game layout is very out dated (wish it could be updated for realism purposes).  Which of the three schedules is the most complete (for the moment I’m assuming it’s the “As Close as Possible” schedule)?  I also believe making 3 to 4  hour schedule blocks of flights (“snipits”) is a good way to go to help maximize the traffic generated for the hour(s) you want to play (I make my own snipits if the custom schedule doesn’t come with them).  Again, I’m very appreciative of your effort and am looking forward to trying out your schedule.

    Hey Ron! I have a bit of a fondness for LAX too. 

    Very good point about the hourly breakdown - when I get some time I will make some snippets. Currently working on another airport, so stay tuned 😉

    Great question - and I should probably add more details to my notes in the file!

    The 'As Close as Possible' is as reflective as possible regarding planes. Some of this is a little selfish, as I defaulted to planes in a RC pack I have (which I admit is probably too many, but allows for a nice range). At times, the planes may not have existed with livery in the game files. If there is desire from enough people in the community, I can create a schedule that will reflect the planes (and will more than likely result in blank liveries)
    I've tried to keep a running log of changes in the file I uploaded.

    The only difference between as close as possible and the other ones is based on the KLAX RC packs - where possible I tried to make appropriate amendments. The airlines should still be correct)

    Sorry for the lack of total clarity - running on about 4 hours sleep right now!

    Thanks for the interest and hope you have fun 😀

    Hello! 

    Thanks for checking out my first ever custom schedule! This is based on the scheduled March 30th KLAX schedule. I took a combination of FlightAware and FR24 to build it (with a little bit of detective work to fill out any items e.g. only 1 BA flight).

    It's been a bit of an awkward time to build a schedule, but I think I've managed to take a decent crack at it. 
    GA is NOT fully fictional.

    There's a total 1693 flights with a decent mix of cargo and flights. I've also included a couple more visualizations 🙂 I'm working on creating more - but that's a longer term project.

    image.thumb.png.3d1396fe258bc13a05b2b068bf2b3d26.png

    I have included 3 separate master schedules in here:

    1) As close to possible schedule
    2) I've tried to keep to KLAX, KPHL, TIST Real Colour, but there may be some blank liveries to keep the actual planes used.
    Cargo liveries likely blank if you don't have the RC for the airports they fly into. 
    3) Only KLAX, KPHL, TIST Real Colour. Cargo flights have been amended to fall what is in the RC LAX.

    Please be gentle and let me know if you find any bugs or comments! 🙂 Spacing could probably be better. GA is still a work in progress...

    If there is interest in this schedule, I will break it into the hourly blocks as suggested by @pete_agreatguy

    Big shout out to @Ripskin for helping me out 🙂 

    Things iamblue91 is addressing in post: 

    1) Hourly blocks
    2) 73J in some of the files to be changed to 739

    Edit 1.1 - Forgot to add 2 of the schedules. Added them on 6 April morning in North America.
    Edit 1.2 - Fixed a Southwest Flight that doubled up and one that departed 20 minutes after it landed (likely can happen IRL but was worried it impacting the game); 73J to 739 for a few airlines. (Changes in all 3 schedules)

  20. Liveries with Custom Schedules Question

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted

    Just wondering whether the liveries have to be associated with the plane in that exact airport or whether I just need to own the RC pack?

    For example, if an airline has livery for a plane at KJFK, but not KLAX, will the liveries end up blank at KLAX if you do not own KJFK (only an example, not saying this is my problem)?

    I've been building a couple schedules, and I seem to be running into some planes with blank liveries. I'm doing another check on whether it's because I have mis-entered the plane or not.

    Thanks!

  22. Tips for debugging custom schedules?

    in ATC Simulators

    Posted · Edited by iamblue91
    Changed RC to RT

    I've tried my hand at making custom schedules - I started small with STT and I tackled JFK. After a number of hours of checking planes, cleaning data, etc. etc., I've launched it, but it gets stuck at 54%.

    I have the latest version of RT installed, and I have updated the airplanes and airlines file.

    Any thoughts or help on debugging?
