[IMPLEMENTED] Flight numbers - auto add

[Zortan]

I know that if you don't give flight numbers, it will give you some random number, but the problem for me is that that number is usually pretty strange. So - if it's possible, you could choose in your settings or something to turn off manual flight number entry, and then let the system automatically number the flights, but it would start at flight #1, not flight #1783

I don't think that's possible. What I could probably do is auto-increment the flight numbers when you create a route, so it will grab your highest flight number and then add +1 to that and auto-fill the flight number box... but I think that's the best I can do.

i think that'd be good too, becasuse then I could just set up my first one and then leave the rest - good idea, and if you can do that, it'd be great.

Or alternatively, dont allow a flight/route to be created unless a valid number is entered.

That might be a little annoying, because I'm suggesting this because it takes a lot of effort to keep track of all of the flight numbers, especially when the airline gets bigger. So i'd just suggest doing this, if it isn't too hard to code into the game.

This has been implemented now

By default (if you don't change any numbers) the first flight will be #1 and then #2, #3 and so forth as you create more routes. What it does not do is fill in any missing numbers, i.e. if you delete a route and then create a new one, it will continue from the highest number still, it won't go back and retroactively "fill in" the missing flight numbers.

But I think it's better than having to type all the numbers manually and it's basically what we had before the new routes system. Not perfect still but better. Now I need to work on some way of displaying a route overview page, that shows each route you fly, the frequency you fly it, average loadfactors, profit, etc and then from that page I can probably make something that allows you to assign the same ticket price to all flights on a particular route.
