Well that could be a solution to the players flying through an airport and completing all levels in 2 days then complaining the game is boring and whens the next update/airport
As I said before, itâs customizable. Iâm not forcing anyone to do anything, just allowing certain players to modify the way that time works in game.

The only way that that is possible is by botting, which has already been solved. You will still get a few people, maybe 4 or so at most, that will complete within 5 days or so, but that is such a tiny group that it probably doesnât factor into the decision.
Idk
I do think the direction the game is heading with so many more realistic aspects and with the scheduling system, the game can become something bigger
also being able to have more realistic flight routes including frequencies added to the scheduling system would make the factor of more realistic handling times more intriguing
This is becoming more than just a game and the possibilities are growing but we shall see what the devs want eventually
Exactly what I think as well. A realism button when you start the game. Arcade or realistic. And I also assign the minimum amount of handlers. Because itâs frustrating to have all gates at LHR or HKG and see 11 planes or so on the gates. We could make this more realistic and satisfying by increasing the handling times.
And Iâm with you. We can have a choice when loading the game each time. But it would satisfy me more to see a packed and realistic set of airport.

To be fair to fill lhr you just turn on landing clearance and wait. And if you donât want to wait then extending handling time probably isnât a good call.
All done already. But this is regarding organic generation of busyness. And extended handling. But I still stand by it. A realism option would satisfy a lot of people and could be implemented hopefully somewhat easily.
Doesnât the game already havw a Option like this you need to click onto the weather bar on the airport and you can pick the weather and time or have the game match both to the airports real time and weather.
this isnât about the weather
Itâs about keeping the airport busy and I for one donât like the idea of letting the game land planes for a while especially at huge airports like LHR or BKK as it takes forever for planes to land. When I open the game I wanna be actively playing
something a long the lines of what Tower Simulator does is what I hope for the game with the scheduling system (optional of course) but my idea involves changing the UI a bit

Its about having to constantly update the time, but I believe that since the recent update, the day/night cycle is realistic. I donât know if a dev has seen this and incorporated it into the update, but its also about flight time, handling time and handling limits.

One could implement this ârealityâ mode only for when the player reaches the higher levels of the airport (definitely after unlocking all the stars and the next airport). This will have no effect on the players that want to progress as quickly as possible, since the slower flight-time wonât affect them if they are just trying to get the next airport unlocked. Also, I donât think that anyone would appreciate a slower game speed at the very beginning, when you have only a few contracts and stands. So it makes sense to keep the first levels at the current speed.
I think that level 40 would work best in INN, level 50 in BRI, etc. So it should be an endgame feature for those who actually like to stick around in one airport and keep playing not for rewards, but because they enjoy it. The rewards after this âmilestoneâ should also receive some kind of multiplier, as they will be harder to achieve.
Background Handling would probably be ideal for this though, or else some airplanes would need over 30 minutes to handle and there could be instances when the player canât do anything but wait for the planes to finish handling (because of lack of stands or lack of handling crew), however I canât help but agree that at its current state having a fully operational airport leaves no time to do anything else. I canât browse my contracts or new planes or anything without some airplane accidentally being delayed. So this slower version can help with that.

Or hear me out, change the contract style that you buy a contract for the route and purchase frequencies for that contract. So you can add multiple flights from that same route. And youâd do this along side/with the scheduling system
I would refer to airport simulator as an example

Ding ding, whatâs that I hear? Is it that time of the evening where I drag out my contract idea 
Would love to have contracts be just for airports and not types and then to have a few from one place would be awesome.

Iâve been sitting on the idea for a while now, just never got around to make a post I guess

another reason to atleast consider adjusting handling times
Mind you the E145 has more than double the amount of passengers than the DHC6 and around the same amount as the ATR42 and DH8C
Lets not even talk about this

Thatâs actually a really good idea
i totally agree with you
