This is no complaint, just wanted to see if this is just me. This point is only really relevant on the larger airports, particualrly LHR. I love the new scheduing system and am trying to stick to this religiously, not using tower manager for assigning stands, i do this manually.
The problem i have is, the game seems to land the most recently assinged plane, meaning i process say 20 planes, these gates are then vacant once more, assign them again but all those aircraft waiting to land on older assigned gates effectively never land if i play like this…. does this make sense to anyone, have the same feeling ?
What would be cool is the oldest allocated gate sits at the top of the list to be serviced next, the issues seems to be this is in reverse in the order the planes sit in the list waitng to be serviced
Does anyone else have this issue, am i being silly in that i havent remedied this in some way i didnt realise i could… do let me know if so.
No, you’re not crazy. While you could play hours on hours and probably complete all your contracts, it is taken over by the most recent assignments.
We actually asked the devs to fix this a long while back, I’m thinking sometime last year.
They fixed it then.
Then… at some point, an update flipped the order again. It feels recent but it’s definitely been a while since it got messed up again.
I’m not sure the devs are aware it was changed again, did it on purpose, or simply aren’t worried about it. Kind of like the antialiasing being messed up on pretty graphics for God knows how many updates now and it seems to have been lost to time…
I’ve also noticed that with the scheduling system if multiple aircraft are waiting for the same gate, the most recent arrival will jump the queue meaning any older aircraft that have been waiting for the gate to become available will simply not show up as ready to be assigned to a gate.
I’ve had a very similar issue when not using the scheduling system, and it’s that planes that are unassigned seems to jump to the top (bottom I guess) of everything and leave assigned planes to the very end, so in an about hour long session I service the same gate like 6 to 7 times meanwhile half the airport is unused the entire time
I’ve also found this issue switches itself randomly. New arrivals suddenly at the bottom, but other times at the top. Can’t seem to find a pattern. I think it’s just something the devs haven’t given much time to.
