creating flight plans

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there,I have been attempting to create flight plans and have gotten up to the point to create legs.
The flight plan starts in an airport I have created in Ireland, and then goes to Aldergrove in Northern Ireland.
For some reason it will only let the aircraft depart at 12:00, I can't change it.
This also means that when I add a leg, requesting it to depart from Aldergrove at 13:15 and apply the leg, It shows that it is departing at 12:00.
This can't be right anyway as the first leg departed at 12:00!
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Toby

	Toby, when you enter a Departure time, enter the time as 4 digits WITHOUT any colon, eg 0927 or 1326, and press Enter / Return on your keyboard. This should enter your required time in the box but WITH the colon eg. 09:26 OR 13:26. The Arrival time will be automatically created. Click on 'Apply & exit' to store this 1st leg of the schedule. When entering times for the second leg, remember that the Departure time MUST be AT LEAST 50 minutes AFTER the Arrival time calculated for the 1st leg. You MUST have at least 2 legs per schedule and the final arrival airport MUST be the same as the FIRST departure airport. Let us know how you get on.

	... and, remember that after you add/edit flight plans you must do a COMPILE so that your changes will appear in the sim.
