esby80 Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I seem to have planes appear only about 10% of the time when I play this. What could be going on? For example: I just ran the LAS airport as arrival only on maximum traffic and got not a single airplane through an hour of gameplay on both the 1200 and 1300 times. Other times that I have played, some planes will show up, but not until about 20 minutes in to the simulation, and it definitely doesn't seem like "maximum traffic." They come in an order that requires little to no sequencing. I was hoping to play around with arrival sequencing with this game. Is something wrong with my install or the software for it to be operating like this? Is there a way to make my own arrival sequence, such as have two streams of planes at ten miles in trail come in non-stop from two post positions? The little info that I've seen on setting up a scheduler looks to me like it's done manually and programming knowledge is required. I'm lost. I just want to play! Please help!

scoobflight Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 what is 'this'? Tower 2011? TRACON 2012? please see forum rules about posting -http://forum.simflight.com/topic/76165-forum-rules-please-read-first/ also, which traffic file are you using? default, or 'real traffic' or shared?-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esby80 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 The game is Tracon 2012, and I have the update that shows the air carrier names. Other than that update, everything is as it was when first installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skully Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think the time you specified is for the midnight shift. Page 16, Time is UTC. So try using 17:00 which puts you in morning rush hour. Also the simulator needs some 'warming up' time as the dome starts empty. The first ~15 minutes you just accelerate through.

FeelThere_Vic Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yes, you need to leave some time for the sim to warm up. We are aware of that and this is one of the top priority we wish to change for future versions of the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esby80 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thank you very much for the reply. The time may be the issue, as I typically just pick a random time and may have selected slow hours previously when I was getting light traffic. I'll try 1700 and check back.

esby80 Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) That seems to have solved it. The 1700 hour didn't have traffic, but the 1800 hour did. Thanks for the help. Edited February 6, 2014 by esby80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
