Air cargo not working

[linkd]

So I have a cargo airport connected to a goods factory, which is fully supplied and producing goods, and a line that connects the cargo airport to the cargo terminal of another airport but no goods are being loaded onto any planes that stop at the cargo airport. Any ideas what I might be missing?

other airport connected with goods demanding houses. Cargo airplane

Use truck station outside the airport, deliver into town at a stopping point that is in the middle of whatever good you are shipping. Also, make sure your truck can handle that product.

Oh okay, thanks!

Yesterday, that wrong truck was what kicked my butt. Couldn't get a supply chain working right. What the heck, I have trucks delivering goods. Have the airplanes. Have the airport connected right, truck stops. Factory is good. Why isn't this work? Turns out, I put fuel trucks in town for the other industry that was coming in, but I was trying to send in food.

I had a similar issue today. Was trying to ship bread with a truck that could carry most goods but not that one :P.

I have had 4 people send me their saves, and so far, it has actually been this easy to solve. The real brain benders have been my own, LOL.

Nice, food drenched in fuel, your inhabitants must love ya! lol

Great to have default cargo planes now, isn't it. (always loved that big ugly Bristol) Works very well too. The airfreight mod in TpF1 worked too but was a little buggy, some freighters just wouldn't pick up cargo at all.

I once had an issue with building _three_ passenger ports even though I meant to build cargo ports. It could happen to you!

does anyone know will a train station (with freight terminal) connected to a airport (with freight terminal) deliver cargo like food by plane to another city that demands it? both the airport and the train station light up together but nothing is being shipped. (I have trucks connected to take the food from the airport at the other town )

Should work. Check the other end of the train line

so I deleted one town and put it back in and cargo is appearing at the airport and being delivered to both towns now. Not sure why it didn't work before though.

I'm having the same issue on Chapter 2 Mission 12. I wanted to use the cargo plane to ship the tools from Vienna to Palma via a cargo plane. I set up cargo stations in the catchment area of both airports. I also put vehicle cargo stations at both the tool factory and the destination building that needed the tools. Created proper transport lines for the entire system and cargo was never delivered to the airport. I've read the forums and double checked everything and found no errors. I eventually gave up and created a road from the tool factory to the cargo harbor port and was able to transport via cargo ships, but it's a slow process. Anyone else having issues getting cargo planes to work properly?

Yes, I have had problems in the past getting cargo planes started....sometimes they work as expected and sometimes I have to delete the airport and other sections of the line and make sure everything is highlighting in the catchment area around the cargo airport. Why it works sometimes and not others is a mystery and seems like a possible bug.
