Hello, I'm new to the game. I discovered Airline Enterprise today while reading the Airlines Empires forums, and I thought I'd give the game a chance. I am very impressed so far.
My question for this post concerns route scheduling. I have Denver set as my hub, and I have round trip flights set from Seattle, Los Angeles, JFK in New York, and Atlanta. I have two round trips per day of each of these routes set up. I went through the laborious process of making sure each bank arrived and leaves at around the same time - to account for connecting passengers (if they even exist yet in this game).
The LAX-DEN-LAX and the SEA-DEN-SEA are not running yet as the leased planes will not arrive until the first week of September. The JFK-DEN-JFK and the ATL-DEN-ATL are established with crusty old planes and are ready to go. My problem is, on the "Route management" page I was able to click the "Fly route" button for the morning flights, and everything seems to work...the planes are scheduled and show up on the DEN airport page. However, I cannot click the "Fly route" button for the second bank of flights - the afternoon flights. The game gives me a red box and says, "flights already scheduled for today."
I don't understand this as my airline is new, there are no flights until tomorrow morning. Why can't I activate those afternoon flights?
Also, as a side note, it was extremely difficult to set up these flights...I mean...as you're scheduling, you cannot see the hours you've already scheduled for that route/plane. The only way I was able to work it all out was pen and paper. Or am I missing something?
