Can't find airline in Flight Plans screen

Flight plans for Jetstar and Tiger Airways aircraft are part of a multitude of various aircraft and airline flight plans that are contained in "Unspecified Carrier, TX_OTHER_All." However, you can use the Traffic Control Centre's "Flight Plans" screen to create new, individual, flight plan files for Jetstar and Tiger Airways, one at a time. After the new files have been created, Jetstar and Tiger Airways will appear in the "Airline/Carrier" list on the "Flight Plans" screen.

Here's an example of how to add Jetstar:

1. On the "Flight Plans" screen, right click in the drop-down list box that is directly below the words "Airline/Carrier," and click on "Add new." After "Add new" has been clicked, the list in the Airline/Carrier drop-down list box will temporarily contain a list of all airlines that you would see listed if you were on the "Airline/Carrier Codes" screen.

2. Click to open the drop-down list box, scroll down the list to Jetstar, and click on Jetstar. You have created a JST.tcc file for Jetstar flight plans.

3. Right click, again, in the drop-down list box, directly below the words "Airline/Carrier." Move your mouse pointer to "Sort," and click on "Name."

4. Again, click to open the drop-down list box. This time the list no longer contains all airlines and carriers that you would see if you on the "Airline/Carrier Codes" screen. However, the list now contains an entry for "Jetstar Airways, JST, Australia." Scroll down the list, and click on "Jetstar Airways, JST, Australia." You will be presented with a blank Jetstar-specific flight plan screen to which you can begin adding flight plans for Jetstar.

Incidentally, if you don't know what cities a particular airline flies to, try this link to Airline Route Maps.

As an Aussie, Jetstar and Tiger planes fly in my Australian skies.  As Soaranden correctly points out, yes, from the Traffic X default installation, they're mixed up with a number of other unlisted airlines in "Unspecified Carrier".

Yes, the Airline Route Maps site contains some out-of-date information, but I think it's worthwhile to maintain a link to the site. Sometimes it can be painfully slow or completely impossible to find a route map on an airline's own web site.

It's possible to have all flight plans for an airline in one place and have none of the flight plans reside in the TX_OTHER.tcc file. Begin by creating a tcc file for the airline (using the steps shown earlier) if there is no pre-existing tcc file for the airline. Then, simply go to the Flight Plans folder that contains the TX_OTHER.tcc file. Open the file in a text editor. Sort the file. Highlight and cut the lines that contain the flight plans for the specific airline's aircraft. Open the tcc file for the airline. Paste the lines into the tcc file for the airline. Save both modified files. Use the Traffic Control Centre to recompile.

I don't think anyone in this forum would ever accuse you of stealing thunder. We all know you are expertly adept at making great thunder of your own, and we all appreciate the thunder that you make!

And if you ever so much as think about stealing my thunder again, I'll call in a preemptive air strike.
