Route Scheduling
#1
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?

Hello!

The issue is, right now you cannot schedule two routes at the same time for a given aircraft - even if the flights do not overlap with each other. That's one thing on my list to change in the future. So for example if you combined the morning flights and afternoon flights into one single route, it would work.

Yeah, the route scheduling is still something I want to improve. For example one thing on my list to try and achieve is auto-fill the departure times to match the "ready at" times on the route configuration screen. Once I enable support for multiple routes being assigned to a single aircraft, I'll need to somehow show what is already scheduled for that aircraft as well.

And just as an FYI connecting pax do not exist yet, but are planned for the future.

Thanks for the quick reply. So the answer for now is just to schedule a bunch of stops on one flight until you fill up your 10 or 12 hours per day (I'm not cruel to my crews...lol).

I like what I see here so far. I'm pretty excited to play the release version when that happens.
