[Other] - Edit Stands While Occupied

Feature requests Gameplay

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Allow buying new sizes and changing the allowed types while the stand is occupied.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
Remove the current block. If the idea is that the stand needs to be empty to be repainted, do it like plane maintenance and shut it down for 15 minutes after the current plane leaves.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
It’s annoying to have to wait for a plane to leave especially if it has a long handling. Plus needing to turn off/on delivery manager.

The current way doesn’t add realism since the airport manager can change the future schedule while planes are in the airport. And the stand can be immediately used after the change is ordered so it’s not construction time.

:camera_with_flash: Optional: Image or reference
Attach anything that helps visualize or support your idea.

Yes! Please allow us to Upgrade stands whether it’s occupied or not. Sometimes planes never show up for the stand it apparently is occupying the entire time I’m playing. I’ve even caught an airplane being backed out of a stand, and still couldn’t upgrade the stand after it had left…?

It can be frustrating to see a stand that cannot be used for a bigger aircraft, because you can never upgrade it. We should be able to at least spend the wollars to upgrade a stand even if it is occupied, so that it eventually can be used for aircraft you want.

If you have the tower manager on it will keep assigning the gate to new planes. Simply pause the Delivery and upgrade.

Paused but not able to upgrade any upgradable stands…? Any other suggestions.

When I’ve first loaded up the game and selected an airport, I’ve chosen not to activate any tower manager options. Even then i cannot upgrade stands both in Prague or Heathrow, and Washington. What am I missing…?
