[NOT A BUG] Scheduling a flight for the same day doesn't work

[Wraldpyk]

I have a flight starting at 13:00 (and returning around 19:10 (with wait time till 19:40 or something). Then for that same plane I tried to schedule a route starting at 20:00 to a different destination, but it won't let me...


That aircraft is already scheduled for flights today. Please wait until all flights are finished.

Sounds like a bug I guess?


Route already flying:

AMS — CIA

04-29, 11:00 UTC Departure Time

--------- 02:10 Flight Time

04-29, 13:10 UTC Arrival Time

--------- 00:30 Turnaround Time

04-29, 13:40 UTC Ready At Time

02:40 Cumulative Flight+Turnaround Time

0 Seconds Extra Time

SUCCESS.

CIA — AMS

04-29, 17:00 UTC Departure Time

04-29, 19:10 UTC Arrival Time

--------- 00:30 Turnaround Time

04-29, 19:40 UTC Ready At Time

08:40 Cumulative Flight+Turnaround Time

Following I cannot click the button without the error:

Currently, if the aircraft already has flights scheduled for the day (or if it is currently en-route), you cannot schedule more flights until the flights that are already scheduled come to and end. i.e. if you were to wait until 19:40, the game would then allow you to fly that second route. But an aircraft cannot have 2+ routes assigned at once.

This is just a temporary limitation, in the future you will be able to schedule two routes at the same time for the same aircraft as long as the departure/arrival times do not overlap. I just haven't worked on that functionality yet.

So, I guess technically this is not a bug as the system is working as designed. But in the future it will be changed to allow you to do this.
