I'm a bit confused by the schedules.

When I pick Lufthansa for example and enter a Zulu time at which I want to start I get a nice looking schedule.

But when I then compare the flightnumbers to reality just to figure out whether the flight is indeed operating that airframe I found that the real world time is completely different and the schedule is totally off.

I get flights as my starting flight that in reality are scheduled for more than 6 hours later.

 

Just as an example:

I enter EDDF and 10:30z as the starting point. The first flight I get is LH1370 to Krakow. At 10:30z.

When I now enter that flight Number into Flightradar24 to check the schedule I find out that the real flight is scheduled daily at 20:10z.

Hello! 

That is normal as you are entering your OWN start time... The data I get currently doesn't include the departing times. 

Also, take a look at https://iflyschedules.com/faq

Love love love this program. Thanks for all you do!

Looks interesting with a lot of potential. I appreciate the hard work you have put into this. I am going to try it out today. I am retired but reliving my career through MSFS 2024 and this looks like a great tool. Thank you.

Thanks, let me know if you need anything!

🚨 v0.8.4 has been released!!

Dashboard: NEW -  Auto Schedule

Added an Auto Schedule Week button to the dashboard that automatically schedules all unscheduled flights for the current week. The feature follows pilot duty regulations: short-haul flights are limited to 8 hours per day, while long-haul flights (6+ hours) get their own day. Flights are randomly distributed across working days with automatic rest day(s) included.

If you don't like the generated schedule, go to the Calendar page and click the new "Un-schedule All Flights" at the bottom of the sidebar to reset all upcoming flights. You can then manually schedule them or run Auto Schedule again. Completed flights are never affected.

Working on adding a new Turnaround Feature 🙂

Realistic Maintenance
- 10% chance maintenance is required before departure
- 40 different maintenance issues based on real aircraft systems
- Specific fault descriptions (e.g., "APU oil pressure fluctuation", "Hydraulic reservoir low")
- Adds 5-9 minutes to your turnaround time

Dynamic Delays
- 7% chance each service encounters a realistic delay
- 64 different delay scenarios from actual ground operations
- Examples: fuel truck delays, catering issues, passenger boarding conflicts
- Delays range from 2-7 minutes and automatically adjust your departure time

 

Decided to create something fun, a Gate Information Display 🙂

 

Real-time gate display showing your next scheduled flight in a clean, airport-style layout:

- Airline branding - background color automatically matches your flight's airline

- Editable fields - double-click to edit:

- Gate number (randomly generated, persists per flight)

- Departure time (enter in 24hr format, e.g., 19:30)

- Automatic status updates based on scheduled departure time:

  - On Time - more than 30 minutes before departure

  - Boarding Soon - 30 to 15 minutes before

  - Boarding - 15 to 2 minutes before (slow flashing animation)

  - Gate Closed - 2 minutes or less before departure

  - Departed - 1 minute after scheduled time

Hope you enjoy it!
