October 14, 201213 yr Hi (Long time no posts) I am having a problem with AI Flight planner to create a stopover. In the early 2000s Greece's Olympic Airways flew to YSSY, and I am trying to recreate AI traffic for this. I add the leg for LGAV to VTBD, and save it. I then reopen the leg and try to add the VTBD-YSSY leg. It appears to be successful, until i save it again. When I do this instead of it being LGAV - VTBD VTBD - YSSY it becomes VTBD - VTBD (yes, Bangkok to Bangkok) VTBD - YSSY. How do I add a stopover? Thanks in advance PS - i am also going to attatch some screenshots. Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 14, 201213 yr Author You must enter a post... what does that even mean? I get this message when trying to post the last screenshot, and now i'll try again. And again it wont load Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 15, 201213 yr Author No that's not it... I've tried that it still won't work When I try that it changes one of the legs to LGAV - YSSY direct, which is obviously not ideal. Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 15, 201213 yr How can one airplane fly that 2 leg route every single day? That's mathematically impossible
October 15, 201213 yr Author Well IDK the actual timetable for these routes so I am just putting it every day Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 15, 201213 yr Author No because that last leg didn't stopp in Bangkok - it went Sydney - Athens direct Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 16, 201213 yr But Gear UP and Off is right, one frame cannot cover this. You cannot tick all the day boxes for 1 frame. Try to tick days 1-3-5 for 1 frame/sequence and 2-4-6 for a second entry and day 7 to a third sequence. Also I noticed that your LGAV departure is 06.00 and you overrode the arrival in BKK to 08.49+, making this a 21.49 hour flight. That messes things up. Why did you override the BKK arrival time.. ? or did you mean to put 18.00 as LGAV departure time ? Remember that you do not have to enter an airline schedule but the flights that one AI entry is making.
October 16, 201213 yr Author I didn't override the ETA I don't know y that happened Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 16, 201213 yr No because that last leg didn't stopp in Bangkok - it went Sydney - Athens direct How do you figure that? The plan shown above is: VTBD -> YSSY -> LGAV -> VTBD Which is what I thought you wanted.
October 16, 201213 yr Author No it was LGAV - VTBD - YSSY - VTBD - LGAV Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 16, 201213 yr "I didn't override the ETA I don't know y that happened"... There is 08.49+1 in the override box, so the arrival time is overridden. If you leave this box empty the arrival time will be calculated depending on the speed of the aircraft. You can override the ETA like you did here but doing that in combination with a departure time of 06.00 gives you a flighttime of 21hr 49mnts and that messes things up. So either leave the override box empty or give a reasonable departure time.
October 16, 201213 yr Author Ok I will try it on just some days How do you figure that? The plan shown above is: VTBD -> YSSY -> LGAV -> VTBD Which is what I thought you wanted. There is no airline that would fly this far non-stop Recent Flights: 18-5-2018 QF147: SYD-AKL (ZK-ZQG) 27-5-2018 EK413: CHC-SYD (A6-EUI)
October 16, 201213 yr No it was LGAV - VTBD - YSSY - VTBD - LGAV OK, it will take two days. Try this: AC#1,F-MSAB,1%,Week,IFR,0/09:00,0/18:30,100,F,0001,VTBD,0/18:50,1/03:16,100,F,0002,YSSY,1/03:36,1/13:09,100,F,0003,VTBD,1/13:29,1/23:28,100,F,0003,LGAV Starts at LGAV at 09:00 on Sunday.
