Talon7147 Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 After having the classic problem of completely empty airports after a couple of hours, I did some digging in the schedule files... I'm a little confused. This is with Real Traffic and Real Color installed. With LAX used as an example, none of the flights seem to actually match anything in the schedule file... I'll start the game up at 7am and give an example:- [What actually happens] 0646 CPZ5998 to KSAT to depart 0646 QFA98 from YMML to arrive 0646 UAL784 from KPHX to arrive 0648 QFA11 from YSSY to arrive 0649 CPZ5691 to CYVR to depart 0651 SKW5505 from KFTA to arrive A busy 5 minutes... but then this is what the schedule file says... 0646 CPZ5998 to KSAT to depart [correct] 0647 SW3558 from KSMF to arrive 0648 SW3586 from KMCI to arrive 0649 CPZ5961 to KYVR to depart [correct] 0652 SW130 from KABQ to arrive Searching the file, there's actually no mention of a single Qantus flight in the whole thing, and United and Skywest don't have those flight numbers... so where's it pulling them from? This obviously doesn't solve the problem about the airport going completely empty after the first couple of hours, and I'm happy to sit and play with the schedules (once I understand how they work!), but this is based on the schedule file that was installed directly with the Real Traffic dlc... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controller- Rogue Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I found all those flights in my Real Traffic KLAX schedule. The reason the SWA arrivals did not happen is because if you choose the 07:00 start time the SWA terminal is full. Arrivals only come in if there is a gate available, usually the game will spawn it as a late arrival when a gate becomes free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon7147 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ahhhh.... that makes sense! So (as a newbie to the game with a lot of hours in a short period of time), it's best to start from 5am for a good experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon7147 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 And you're right by the way, I could have sworn that Qantas was QA... searching QF makes them appear 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexzed Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 You can try some of the custom LAX schedules, they have a better flow to them than the default one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripskin Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 The Real Traffic schedules can be fun but they always seem to have this issue where the airport has few open aprons allowing arrivals and departures go slowly so you actually get like 50 to 60% of the total traffic 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedantic G Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 and as @crbascott always recommends, load the snippet 2/3 hours sessions that some of the custom schedule creators post (see the sticky at the top of the forum on how to use) as this makes the game play more realistic to play and stops a lot of "filled" gate arrival rejections ✈️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon7147 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Really appreciate the advice! Is there somewhere I can download some custom schedules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
