Revamped Routes System
#1
The revamped routes system has been implemented. I've done my best to make sure that it all works as it should, but if you notice any issues please let me know. 

A few things:

1) Multiple routes assigned to a single aircraft is now supported. However, any subsequent routes will not schedule themselves until the previous route has finished in its entirety. Keep in mind the game schedules routes every 10 minutes on the hour, so if your first route finishes at, say 12:41, you need to make sure the second route departs at 12:50 or after. Otherwise it will not get scheduled. If there is a conflict, i.e. if the routes overlap each other, how the system handles that is that only the first route will get scheduled.

2) If you choose to make the route only fly certain days, the route will not get scheduled until the day it is supposed to fly. So if it is currently Wednesday, and the route is set to fly on Thursday but not on Wednesday, the route will not appear in your scheduled flights until midnight on Thursday, local time at the departure airport.

3) Flight numbers are now defined on the edit route page. You can type a flight number in the upper-right hand corner of each flight. To configure ticket prices on a per-flight basis, you still need to go to the flight numbers page. I've made a button on the route management page that makes that a bit easier to get to.

4) One known issue... lets say a flight on your route is ready at 23:58, and you choose 00:00 departure for the next flight. This will throw an error on the route edit page, because 00:00 is < 23:58 and it thinks departure is before ready time. But the scheduling system should pick that up and schedule the flights correctly, by adding a day. I tested this and it worked fine but let me know if you run into any issues. I'll try to work on getting the error message to go away in this particular scenario.

Other than that it works pretty much the same... except it should be a lot more user friendly and just sleeker overall.

This is great. Thanks unk. One question. Do the arrival and ready at times change on the page as you create the route.

I tried setting a route number as FY1 but it's saying this already exist when it doesn't. Is this because anot her airline is using this number?

They change if you select a different aircraft, but they don't change as you change the drop-down values. I tried for over a week to get that working but just couldn't figure it out, so maybe it will happen one day but I didnt' want to spend any more time on it. What you can do though is change some times, save the route, then go back into it and it'll re-calculate all the times for you and tell you if there is an error.

Yes that was a bug that I just fixed, it should be good now

Okay that's fine. You've done a great job so far, I'm sure everyone will agree this update was needed.

Thanks for the quick bug fix too!

I made a slight change when I did the patch today, I removed the "preparing for route" status completely. I think with the new route system we may not need that. So if you schedule a route and your aircraft status does not change to the black icon, it's not a bug, I've just removed that status from the game.

Probably until the new routes system is stable and functioning properly

I have tried to go in today and cancel the routes so as I can use the aircraft, I have de-activated routes, then cancelled them only to get the error that the flights need to de-activated, I also noted in Chrome, sometimes the de-activate button does not work.

Can al my scheduled routes be removed from the database so as all my aircraft are freed up, thanks

I dont understand. Only a couple of the routes i had worked today. Now it appears for tomorrow most of them have been scheduled correctly however the are a couple of issues. One Route which is LGW -SEA - LGW has not been schuduled at all. I also have a route LGW -JNB-LGW has been scheduled for JNB-LGW but not the first leg from LGW to JNB. Now what extra strange about this is the aircrafts current location is LGW which means it won't be able to operate the JNB-LGW leg. Pleasssse hellpppp lol

Just a side note: Both my routes from LCY are also not working. I have deactivated all the routes, Cancelled them and re Activated them and it seems to have made no difference
