MJKERR Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 On advice, decided to create this topic (although some will cover two or more airports shortly) I am nearing the completion of my Real World Schedule It is based on Summer 2019 and what was proposed for Summer 2021 (as many airlines have now deleted their Summer 2020 to avoid confusion) Apart from some silly errors that have sneeked through, such as a blank column, space and wrong Airport IATA code, my first test was successful This is pretty much just all the airlines with Wide Body jets, some of the smaller regional / budget airlines, and the rest I will come to later as many do not yet have their Summer 2021 schedules In some cases I have had to guess the aircraft type as descriptions are either missing, do not match, duplicated or are very vague As an example one airline uses B737, B738, B737-8, B73H, and B737Winglets Clearly two or more people have been creating, editing and saving their schedule! In another the arriving and departing aircraft are different, but with plenty of time for a turnaround either this is an error or only one of the aircraft has been updated but the other has not yet As a result I have some gaps where the aircraft type is not currently in the Real Colours file They may be available in other airport files Ironically, I have found several in the EDDM file which I can use temporarily as they are better options The main issue is some schedules now have the A359 in them, however in some cases the original aircraft is also missing, hence the gap (which I have temporarily filled with one of those available in the ODMB Real Colour pack) The ones with greatest impact are BOLDREAL COLOURS - Aeroflot : A359 not available, replacing A333 Only B738Missing A333 (KLAX) Daallo Airline : B733 Not available Emirates (Executive) : A319 not available Estonian Air Regional / Salam Air: IATA code is OV, but appears to be Salam Air at OMDB Ethiopian : Missing B787 (EDDF, KLAX, LFPG) Finnair :Missing A321 (also missing from EDDM) (EDDF, LFPG) IndiGo Airlines : A321 not available Only A320 alternative A321N not available Only A320N alternative KLM :Missing B77W (CYVR) Kuwait Airline : A332 Missing A330 (EDDM) Qeshm Air : A320 not available Avro RJ100 not available, replacing Avro RJ85 Only RJ85 alternative S7 Airlines / Siberian Airlines : B738 not available Only A320N Missing A319, A321 Singapore Airlines :Missing A359 (EDDM) Thai Airlines : B788 not available Only A359No alternatives, possibly 772 / 773 / 77W Turkish Airlines : A359 not available, replacing 332 and 77WCARGO SCHEDULE - Cargo has been the biggest challenge, even though it is such a small operation by comparison! I had split Aerologic and DHL, then realised they were the same operation ASL Airlines Belgium : Missing (EDDM) CargoLux :Missing (EDDM) Ethiopian Airlines : B777F not available Possible alternatives B772 / B77W FitsAir : Not available Silk Way Airlines : Not available SpiceExpress : Not available Possible alternatives B737 / B738 TCS Couriers (Star Air Aviation) : Not available In the short term I can use the SpiceJet B737, Ethiopian B772, and for ASL and CargoLux the aircraft from EDDM PASSENGER SCHEDULE - I have discovered two flights that use DXB as stopover Swiss LX : ZRH - DXB - MCT Cathay CX : HKG - DXB - BAH Are there any others, that I have overlooked? Equally, I assume Tower does not create a duplicate aircraft (raises the question what is minimum dwell time before it does so, just like Tower 2011) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally, I assume Tower does not create a duplicate aircraft (raises the question what is minimum dwell time before it does so, just like Tower 2011) This time it is a Emirates flight DXB - ACC - ABJ ABJ - ACC - DXB It looked strange when two aircraft were next to each other requesting pushback, and then I noticed the Flight Numbers were the same! Sadly not the only one I had overlooked A further Two flyDubai and 13 Emirates Further complicated by discovering two flights also operate a triangle! DXB - CEB - CRK - DXB (Emirates) DXB - PZU - KRT - DXB (flyDubai) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crbascott Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 @mjkerr These liveries are not available because the airline/plane models are not in the Real Traffic schedule. I'm not sure what you are hoping to accomplish here, but as a user of T!2011 and T!3DP you should know that Nyerges Design does not issue updates to Real Color packs (or Real Traffic for that matter) to make them more current. I don't really want to say you are wasting your time with all these posts .... but ... you're wasting your time with all these posts. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexzed Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Well to be fair Gabor does update the RC packs. In fact there has already been an update to the OMDB RC since the first release. KSFO, KLAX, KJFK and LEBL have been updated as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSFO, KLAX, KJFK and LEBL have been updated as well I stand by what I said - he doesn't issue updates to keep them current. Those were all community driven special projects (averaging about two a year). If he truly kept the packs updated for currency then he would provide regular updates for ALL the airports.

MJKERR Posted July 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Complete success I now have a fully working full Summer 2019 / Summer 2021 schedule Yesterday I was left short of one stand and this morning I resolved that I also have a few gaps, so even more flights can be added Ideal for some airlines that operated in the recent past; Qantas, Virgin Atlantic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
