Ripskin Posted September 25, 2019 Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 +1 for That statement on Flightaware. I copy paste the date in to my excel sheet and let the formulas start grooming the information while I go search for oddities and things to correct. I looked at some other sources but for Flightaware the data is right there with little effort. Copy paste values and off to the races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Thanks for the info..some of the custom schedules I have seen look like this: // Depart,Arrive,Type,Airline,Flight,Arrival,Departure,Duration,Codeshare PER,MEL,734,T#,11,00:03,12:00,1,T# What is the hash used for? I couldnt' find an explanation for this? Freight flights are they done in the same format as normal passenger flights? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexzed Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Ah a fellow kiwi! T# is a made up IATA so that liveries will be different T# is Air Freight NZ Look here for more detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, they can't fly & only come out at night.😁 Sorry Ben, the old friendly Kiwi/ Aussie rivalary . For Fordy, this is a fairly common practice by the experienced schedule builders. It is also used whenever it is required to differentiate operators arrivign at different terminals but usng the same ICAO & IATA codes. Examples are: 1. Freight operators e.g. Cathay Pacific, Singapore cargo etc. 2. Operators operating domestic & intnl. flights where they Dep/Arr at different terminals. e.g. American Airlines in the US, You want the dom flights & the Intl flights to operate at different terminals. SFO is an example of this. 3. Small operators that don't have ICAO & IATA codes. e.g T#. On a different heading, maybe someone could produce an airlines.txt list of the made up codes and have some sort of standardisation for these to help make sure duplicates don't happen.

Pedantic G Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 @707FAN Kev, as and when they are released I do add them to the Master File Excel sheet (use the drop down filter). General rule of thumb is if its got a # in it or a weird character, its made up to get them in the gaming schedules! With the new cargo aircraft without windows the custom guys demands are growing but boy the game looks so much better with then in! I think all the custom schedule guys should re do ALL their schedules to update them! ( I will await the expected abuse) 🤣🤣🤣 Gary 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev M Thanks for the info - getting my head around it. So Qantas and Qantas Link (regional) use different codes QF for the first and according to the master code list the IATA code for Qantas Link is J# ICAO is QJE which goes to terminal 1 at Melbourne.. the custom schedule i saw for melbourne is showing in the airlines txt: QLK, Q#, Q-LINK, Qantas Link, Australia and the Q# as the code in the schedule so its confusing...if we use the wrong code will it be like a white paper plane? lol... trying to figure out how to do it correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexzed Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 They are both valid Q#, Eastern Australia Airlines Flying the Dash J#, Cobham Aviation Services Flying the 717 One IATA for each of the airlines that fly under the Qlink colours If you use any IATA code that is not in the airlines txt, or more importantly in the texturepack manifest, you will get white planes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two issues in play here ... the use of made up codes to get liveries and plane models into the game and the intermingled use of ICAO and IATA codes in the various real traffic files. Hopefully, a thoughtful long term approach will be undertaken with the next version instead of the current band-aid approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripskin Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 Are you editing the correct schedule file for the airport you are attempting to control within the game directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What should I do? The game looks for a specific filename. Assuming you are building a KLAX schedule the filename is klax_schedule.txt. You'll want to rename or move/backup the original RT file so the game will use your file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
