Flight system

[Lokesh]

Also, will there be flight numbers for each route assigned randomly by system or a option to assign by ourselves for each sector?

Moreover, as Ryan said I would love to see Arrival & Departure board on Airport Information page.

Something like this?

Slightly off topic but Will there be some feature like Arrival and departure boards for each airport, just a feature that I liked from before:/

I can try to add something like that. Not sure how "pretty" I can make it look graphically, and it's also not on the top of my list right now. But I'll keep it in mind for later.

Also, will there be flight numbers for each route assigned randomly by system or a option to assign by ourselves for each sector?

Both. They will initially be assigned randomly, and then if you want to customize it and assign a particular flight# for a particular flight you will have the option to do that.


Progress being made slowly but surely on the route creation. Took me forever to figure out how to get the dynamic "add a stop" dropdown thing working lol, but I think I got it now.

For me I don't think that the Arrival/Departure board needs to be 'pretty'i just like it as a way to see how busy each airport is, and an idea of the competition from other airlines on routes. Even if there is some kind of airport view would good. But the progress looks good Unknown!!

A small change to how the page works, for now:



I could not for the life of me get the thing to work with dropdown boxes, so instead of spending all my time working on that I've just reverted to text boxes for now so I can get on with the game. So how it'll work is you type the airport code into the text box. The system will then check if you have a gate leased there and such before finalizing the route. It's not ideal but I'm sure I can change it in the future.

Is a stop only for refueling?

[Unknown98]

No it's an itinerary similar to what we had in CA except this will be automated. So each stop is a full stop for passengers and everything.

That's great! Is there going to be a limit of stops/miles the plane can fly under 'stops', as to make sure we are not making the flight system fully automated?

Also when we select a time, is it any time slot within the current day? (so it my be 3:00 PM Paris time but you fly your Paris route at an earlier hour, say 8:00 AM, or is it only a future hour set for the next flying day of the aircraft?)
