When I handling DH8C at SXM, if the plane needs ambulance (wheelchair) when both off-boarding and on-boarding. (Not sure is only in SXM or all airports)
The estimate operation time will always longer than the left time.
Is it a feature, or it’s a bug?
I’ve had the same problem with DH8C at SYD. I think when the ambulift feature was introduced there may have been a miscalculation in handling times. So I think this should be a bug.
I had it once with F100 at BRI.
It required ambulift on both deboarding and boarding and it went overdue.
Yeah this is a bit annoying and I think it is related to game mechanism…
Hopefully we can have the time limit extended in the upcoming version.
I have adopted fleet with approximately 3 min until the time limit. However, with 80 seconds required for boarding and disembarking lifts, plus 60 sec for repairs identified during inspections, this leaves only 40 sec margin even within this limit – making it quite tight. For B and D sizes, some aircraft cannot even manage a 2 min margin if the passenger capacity is nearly full.
While I hesitate to constantly bring up outdated elements, I wonder if lift and repair times could be addressed by methods such as speeding them up by holding down icons to consume woller (v1), or introducing time limits differences between FSC and LCC aircraft.
If this is a bug, please post it in the bug report section.
I believe Charlie said this was intended, because often irl such aircraft will be delayed in that scenario.
I play on IAD and most of the time my planes are on-time (probobly because i use automatic handling but yeah i can see why this is annoying
