Planes should not block Stands while waiting for being accepted
What is your suggestion?
We have one Problem:
Your own fleet planes will block stands, when you request a connection to another player.
For small airports like BRI, thats a huge problem, if i cant use my E stands, because someone didnt accept my contract very soon.Even when i use the auto lander, delivery manager, it will make some airports not playeable. I have to deliver the planes manually and be careful to not let anything land, wich completed thier contract (10/10), before finishing lall the other planes.
So to fix this Problem:
Make your plane wait for acceptance in the fleet manager, maybe at a designated page or something. That will be so much better then how it is now.
How would it work in the game?
Well, thats very easy.
Just add a designated area for the fleet manager, with all your own fleet planes, waiting with no contract.
You can got to your plane there, assign them to a player or to a non-player destination, If the contract is accepted, your plane will appear in your arrivals, ready for the delivery manager or for yourself to be assigned to a stand.
Also very important:
Do not let a plane appear at the arrivals on the right, if the plane has no active contract.
Planes who have finished theri contract will appear at this designated area in the fleet manager. you can claim the rewards there and reuse the contract, like you can now, send it somewhere else or sell it right there.
Also for new planes, they will wait there until they are assigned (and if its a player contract accepted).
Why is this a good idea?
Blocked Stands are very annoying. If i did a few mistakes and let some planes land early, the consiquences are, i am not able to use the full airport, sometimes i play at half capacity, sometimes even less.
That makes me stop playing for a few days and waiting for other players to accept all of my planes, so my airport will be free again.
I would like to hear your opinions about that
