How can I change the arrival times to be more realistic?
For example, I have made flight plans for Lugano to Zürich and Traffic 360 uses a time of 18 minutes between departure and arrival, using a Saab S2000.
This is completely unrealistic. It should be approximately 50 minutes.

Try changing the Saab S2000 cruise speed in the aircraft config file.

Thanks for the advice.
I gave the Saab2000 only as an example. As every single flight plan has an unrealistic arrival time this means I must change the cruising speed of each aircraft.
As I know the actual real world departure and arrival times, this means I must also first calculate the necessary speed to match these times.
However, when the aircraft is used for a different flight everything changes again.
It would be much easier if the user could enter both times in the TCC.

Eisbahn,
in Traffic X I have had to make a load of alterations in the 'Fleet Database', e.g. cruise speed, max range, runway types, parking radius and parking types, in order to get AI to behave anything like what you would expect them to. An unfortuneate effect of this was that loads of the flight schedules supplied in Traffic X showed up 'in Red' as being 'illegal' in terms of range, etc. Just Flight are not very careful about setting up realistic flights e.g B737 a/c were managing to go from Australia to North America in one hop!
I bet that Traffic 360 suffers from similar silly problems.
