[CONFIRMED] Departure board status

[Ryan97]

I like the fact that when you activate a route it automatically it appears on the Arrival and Departure boards at airports, but i was wondering if it was possible to not have the departure board say 'Departed at' before the flight has departed. I was wondering if this could be changed to 'Preparing' 'Boarding' or 'Check In'  maybe until the departure time comes around

Alright so I made a few changes. On the live departures board if the flight hasn't departed yet it will show "Check-in" as the status. I also changed the "Arrived" and "Departed" to say "Arrival" and "Departure" just to accommodate the various scenarios. Also, on the live flight tracker, if the flight hasn't departed yet it will show "Departure:" instead of "Departed:"

Eventually it'd be cool to have several statuses, like Boarding, Check-in, and so on.

I was thinking that but thought that it would be complicated

Yeah... I actually tried doing it so when it was <30 mins before departure it would switch from check-in to boarding but I couldn't get it working correctly lol.

I just noticed that on the departure board at Manchester MAN says flights that departed at 9am this morning (it's now almost 5pm GMT+1) are still Checkin status

I knew it couldn't be that easy to make it work

I'll have to take another look at it. Obviously it's not using the correct times.

Also the arrival board isn't changing to Landed lol

Whaaat... well I think I'll just revert back to the old system for now then and try to work on this later.
