+--- Thread: Route Scheduling now happens every 5 minutes (/showthread.php?tid=622)
Route Scheduling now happens every 5 minutes - Unknown98 - 04-12-2018
The route scheduling script has been updated now to run every 5 minutes rather than every 10 minutes. This will schedule routes more often, in smaller batches.
I don't think this will have any adverse effect on the game or the server, but if it does I can always change it back.
I'm also looking at other ways to speed up the script and make it more efficient but that's all in the back-end, nothing that would affect gameplay.
So how does this affect routes?
- Routes are still scheduled instantly if you flip the activation switch, that has not changed
- If you have two routes assigned to the same aircraft, that fly on the same day:
==> Previously you had to leave a 10 minute mark between the two routes.
==> Now you have to leave a 5 minute mark between the two routes.
The script runs on the 5 minute mark, so 00:00, 00:05, 00:10, and so on for the entire day.
If the first route is "ready at" 13:02 for instance, the second route needs to depart at 13:05 or later. Previously that would have been 13:10.
This ONLY affects time between two separate routes, not time between flights that are all included in one route. I've seen some confusion on that in the past.
