Add schedules for new airport

DanSmith

Was it recently fixed to be able to add new airports? I am trying to add new schedules to Paris le Bourget airport, which came with the last city update.
But so far I am not able to do it. I created new schedules and now a few planes with white liveries appear on the parking spots. But no plane starts to taxi.
I set options to use fallback liveries and gate compatibility to high.
Is it possible to successfully create this for airports which had no schedules before?

@dansmith If you enter the airport IACO, it should prompt you to use the add airport feature when you confirm.

DanSmith

@art_p Yes, I did this and I could create the schedules. They are then also visible in the flight routes window.
My problem is still that no plane starts to taxi.

@dansmith I have experience with added aircraft not appearing and not departing, and it was usually my fault. I can think of two possible causes for your issue to consider.

When watching for a departure, do not accelerate the sim. Watching at 2x acceleration will cause a 50% chance the departure will not take place.
When adding a departure to the schedule and pressing the Add Flight button, the Save Changes button should turn red. I don't think the flightplan is created until that button is pressed. Sometimes the Add Airport button does not turn red so there is no option to Save Changes. Be sure that didn't happen.

I created a scheduled departure from LFPB after adding the airport, and it departed as scheduled in the sim.

@art_p Thanks a lot, I will try again without time acceleration. I haven't thought about this, usually I used 3 to 4 times time acceleration for testing.

@art_p Time acceleration was not the reason why I have no traffic. I noticed one strange thing with the save button after adding a schedule. After clicking it when it's red some other times in my schedule change. When I reload the airport I have the old times again.
Maybe it got messed up when I changed times after adding a flight. But there are definitely still some bugs in the UI.

@dansmith Sometimes I figure out a reason a flight doesn't depart. Same airport, same aircraft, different time flight leaves on time. It makes me want to pull my hair out except I don't have any. Lost it all when I was using FSX.:angry_face:

@art_p Well, yes :anxious_face_with_sweat: Some things here with the schedules are hard to understand at the moment
