Using the Scheduler - Help Please

[CoastalLinkAirways]

A first time posting, I’m looking for help on using the Planner/ Schedule feature on World of Airports…

I guess my first question is when contracts have been assigned to a stand what do the times with the little clock against the diagonal lines mean? Initially I thought it may’ve been the “Roundtrip duration” time but they aren’t always the same.

When using the ‘Planner’ part, say I’ve assigned three contracts to one stand, am I looking for there to be only one of the diagonal lines/ time blocks such as stands 313 to 317 in the attached image or multiple such as stands 401 to 403?

Fast forward to the ‘Schedule’ part, if a contract has a yellow exclamation mark in a circle on it what does this mean? I’m presuming there’s a scheduling conflict of some sort regarding the stand; too many aircraft or similar time of arrivals/ departures?

Thanks again

what do the times with the little clock against the diagonal lines mean?

It’s the length of time in which no plane is assigned to that stand for. Basically the time until one of the contracts already assigned to the stand returns from its destination.

The time blocks are basically the time when the stand just sits around empty and useless, so in an ideal scenario (when you’d have as many contracts as needed), you wouldn’t have any at all or as little as possible (not by number of gaps, but by the actual combined time, so for example if you have two of them, each for 30 minutes, it should be the same as one hour long single gap.
