Schedule issue

[Dalsgaard83]

Hey guys.

I've been working on a before-covid schedule for KEWR. When i just tested it, it loads as it should, but no airplanes is at the gates (not even just whites). But a GA aircraft reports ready, and an inbound plane reports as well. But why no aircraft at the gates??. What could i have done wrong?? 😕

How i have written it:

EWR,SJU,763,UA,1523,12:00,08:00,1,UA
EWR,MEM,E75,YX,3617,12:00,08:00,1,YX
EWR,SRQ,E75,YX,3555,12:00,08:00,1,YX
EWR,IAD,763,UA,2734,12:00,08:05,1,UA
EWR,MSP,717,DL,645,12:00,08:08,1,DL
EWR,SAT,E70,YX,3678,12:00,08:10,1,YX
EWR,PWM,ER4,C5,5021,12:00,08:10,1,C5
EWR,SFO,772,UA,497,12:00,08:15,1,UA
EWR,GSP,ER4,EV,4279,12:00,08:15,1,EV
EWR,CLT,321,AA,1575,12:00,08:15,1,AA
EWR,YOW,CR2,QK,8853,12:00,08:20,1,QK
EWR,MCO,320,B6,2227,12:00,08:23,1,B6
EWR,RDU,E75,YX,3431,12:00,08:24,1,YX
EWR,IAH,739,UA,1886,12:00,08:25,1,UA
EWR,SAN,739,UA,1593,12:00,08:25,1,UA

How the original schedule is written:

EWR, MIA, 738, UA, 2333, 12:00, 08:19, 1, UA
EWR, BOM, 77W, UA,  829, 12:00, 08:17, 1, UA
EWR, BWI, CNF, C2, 8311, 12:00, 08:14, 1, C2
EWR, MCO, 738, UA,  354, 12:00, 08:12, 1, UA
EWR, CLT, 321, AA, 1575, 12:00, 08:10, 1, AA
EWR, IAD, CNF, W#, 7303, 12:00, 08:09, 1, W#
EWR, PBI, 739, UA, 2219, 12:00, 08:06, 1, UA
EWR, BOS, BE9, A8, 8310, 12:00, 08:04, 1, A8
EWR, IAD, CNF, C2, 8313, 12:00, 08:01, 1, C2

Could this be the problem?

No, the spaces are not the issue. Did you make any changes to the terminal file?

[crbascott]

@Dalsgaard83 The format looks ok. What is your starting time? Can you post a log file?

[Dalsgaard83]

@DeltaVII. Yes i made changes to the terminal file. But only to add/remove a few airlines, so it matches up with the airlines in my schedule .

@crbascott I have just tested it with a snippet of the schedule in the hours 12 - 4pm, and then it works without problems. So apparently its the full schedule that is the problem.

@crbascott Here is a log file. Hope you can help figure this out.

output_log.txt

"STRING LINE ERROR: 8 - EWR,PHX,320,UA,248,12:00.06:00,1,UA"

There's a point instead of a comma between the times. I don't know whether that's the problem, but it's one problem for sure.

[Dalsgaard83]

@DeltaVII. That would be weird, if the simple error of a point instead of a comma, would make the whole schedule not to work. I'm checking the schedule for any other errors that might be present ;-)

It's actually not weird at all - at least for T!3DP and some other programs processing comma-delimited files. One missing or out of place comma can throw everything out of whack.
