AIG | Airline Schedules

[iFlySimX 762]

Hello all! 

I got AIG to work and I love it! However, I see that a LOT of airline schedules are outdated. For example, JetBlue is from 2019.

Is there any way to get more up to date schedules for airlines? 

Thanks!

 Give it time. Covid threw a slightly massive wrench into things. Think of how you airports would look traffic wise if the schedules were from 2020 or 2021? AIG has released over 120 airlines for Summer 2022 so far and there's still tons of airlines in the queue.

What Dave said. You'll just have to wait.

It’s got to be a massive undertaking to compile airline schedules that are anywhere near accurate. When I retired in 2016 the airline I worked for was changing schedules as often as every three weeks. I’m happy if I see the correct airlines at the airport I’m at.

Might not be your cup of tea, but AIG in combination with PSXT and RealTraffic gives you real live traffic (like you see on Flightradar24). So basically always up to date schedules :-).

It cost 9.95 US/months, but if you fly a lot, totally worth in my humble opinion.

How is it as far as aircraft taxiing to and from the gate? I can remember there was an issue when the transponders were turned off that the aircraft disappeared.

Normally transponders are not turned off until at the Gate.  When departing they get turned on at the gate.  PSXT learns what airlines go to what gates so can populate those gates with traffic at launch.

And it's not that a schedule will change so dramatically that you will notice, once it's outdated.

  Most larger airports will have MLAT or a surface movement system but that's about it. Smaller fields including those that get lots of airline traffic will generally have none.
