Sadly, several were released retro - including 2 of the 3 base airports..b

Could be, but only with a different game engine. Kai Tak would not be Kai Tak with a 20 mile straight in final.

The problem has already been solved. The OP didn't have Real Color. Once installed, his problem was "fixed". Also, you don't necessarily have to have RC for the specific airport you are playing. it helps in most cases, but there are several airports where it is not needed.

You need one or more Real Color packages (in addition to Real Traffic) in order to add some paint (liveries) to the white planes.

Wait for it ... 😀

What would the alternative be?

Assuming their original terminal still exists, you'd add them to the terminal file like you would any other airline.

Yes, if you have Real Traffic any plane can appear at any airport if you modify/create a schedule appropriately. And then the same thing goes with liveries in Real Color. For example, if you have RC for OMDB and it contains the BA A350, then this livery can be seen at any other airport. Again, with an appropriately created schedule.

Atlanta is not a haven for heavies and it is a resource hog. I'd definitely recommend looking elsewhere.

Yes, for both sites payments are processed via BMTMicro. And when there is not a sale in progress, the prices on both sites are the same. However, to date, there has NEVER been a sale on atcsuite.com. FeelThere just recently had a 20% off Memorial Day sale. The 20% off was only available through feelthere.com and not atcsuite.com. Why the price discrepancy on the two sites? I find it strange, but only FeelThere can answer that. Why purchase or even use atcsuite.com? If the prices are never lower, I see no reason to and that’s the basis of my recommendation. More than likely FeelThere will have a 4th of July sale. Let’s see if the site/sale pattern continues.

First of all, I recommend never buying from atcsuite.com as that site always charges full price and you can get sales/discounts elsewhere - like feelthere.com and Steam itself. Regarding your issue, your folder path is incorrect but I'm going to assume that is a typo (closing parenthesis is in the wrong place) . is the message actually "please select at least one runway"? If that's the case you need to select at least one arrival runway (blue circle on runway selection overview map) to start a session. If this is not the case a screenshot of you main screen may help for starters.

Obviously it would make more sense if the game engine did all the appropriate sorting, but we all know that is not going to happen. Arrival times and how the engine determines the landing runway are also a factor on seeing the schedule utilized to its fullest, but in the case of the latter there's not much we (except maybe for @WildCard) can do about that.

My only advice is - the more RAM the better.

Of course you don't have white planes because you have ALL the RC packs (and you made the schedule). But not everyone has the same setup as you, so what you see may be different than what they see. The original post specifically referenced a Max9 and you said you included flights that used to fly to PHNL so that means that just having RC for PHNL is not enough to guarantee all planes have liveries when playing your schedule. That's why @hexzed posted the link to @Pedantic G's spreadsheet so @Aleksanderj02 could decide if he wanted to get other RC packs in order to reduce the number of white planes he is seeing. I'm not bashing you at all, I'm just trying to help you understand. They key point being that not all people have the same RC packs. Schedule developers need to keep this in mind as do custom schedule users. So, the next time someone says they have white planes playing one of your schedules, you can tell them they may need additional RC packs instead of "what are you talking about".

Instead of bashing people that want to play your schedule like @Aleksanderj02, you should try to help. You've obviously included made-up flights and liveries for planes that are not included in RC for PHNL. Not everyone has every DLC like you do, so if someone wants to play your schedule they are going to have to accept having white planes or buy a few RC packs (or ALL them based on your screenshot).

As they say, if you're going to dream ... dream big. As a former beta tester myself I had similar desires as you for flawless DLCs, but there are too many obstacles to overcome ... game engine limitations and bugs, development decisions, endless scenarios, etc. But, I wish you luck. You think any of the "bugs we have missed" were due to using a modded version? 😉

Looks similar but has some more details. Personally, I'd rather see "over-reporting" rather than "under-reporting" of bugs in order to get a much-needed SP. Don't want PHNL to become another KATL.

@nolan_4_wilson and accompanying discussion should be in its own thread instead of hijacking Pete’s thread.

Starting work on the new version is irrelevant, as they stopped fixing things over 2 years ago.

The latter command you state here is not valid. You might want to peruse the manual (pinned thread) and familiar yourself with valid command syntax.

Just curious, how many airports with seaplane runways (not included of course) have been released thus far?

As Vic just alluded, the next version should give us the tools to build whatever size airport we want.

However, the new version will reintroduce modding tools necessary to create our own models/liveries and maintain performance characteristics. Correct?

Are the planes you've shared thus far your default regional jet or are they representative of a specific real life plane model?
