For those of you who are struggling with baggage!

[Fredrik]

I quickly built a simple baggage system to show you how it can be setup.

Step 1:
- Check your zooning and path to the baggage bay. If you have a disconnected baggage bay, make sure there is a viable path including sidewalks, doors and crosswalks for the ramp agents to get there.
- Make sure that the baggage bay has service road connection (service road can be built inside for this purpose).
- Make sure that all belts face the correct direction. Use R to rotate.
- Wait with scanners and tilt trays if you are having trouble getting the basic setup.

See screenshot for reference:

Step 2:
- Connect your stands to the baggage bay.
- Connect your baggage claim are to the baggage bay.
- Connect check-in desks to the baggage bay.
- Make sure you have enough ramp agents to both service stands and the baggage bay.
- Make sure you have enabled baggage handling in the operations menu.

EDIT: Maybe this is not clearly communicated, but baggage is not required. You can very well run an airport without baggage. Just FYI. :)

I have used tilt trays in my build and I have them all set for destination. I have three claim areas and one main belt that delivers it all from the baggage bay with one tilt tray that distributes all the baggage to the right belts.

I have an issue where baggage arrives from check-in desks, I have plenty of Ramp Agents, but none of them go to the baggage room and get stuck in the concourse before sercurity.

Make sure your secure zone has no holes in, ramp agents need a path to go from whereever they are such as staff room, etc to the baggage area. I usually place a door from the terminal and then put secure zone all the way to baggage area. Your baggage area needs to be a secured area as well.

going to try this

... Ok, two claims connected to one bay, the distribution is random what I observed, whole flight will be unloaded to one claim, but to solve your problem would be building a bay for each claim:)

I have a major issue and i'm starting to lose the will to live with this now, i'll be honest. I have a (seemingly) fine baggage system. I cna activate it and all seems fine. The ramp agents go to the cargo bay, the vehicles go the aircraft also.

However, I have a number of issues:

1. Bags are invisible - they literally don't show up anywhere even though the aircraft state they are loading and unloading.
2. The 'invisible' bags rarely are unloaded from the aircraft and those that are never turn up anywhere leading to some passengers just standing around waiting for these 'invisible' bags and they never leave.
3. As above but for the loading of bags minus the people standing around - however, this delays EVERY SINGLE FLIGHT.

I have a million (it seems) ramp agents, they are working in the cargo bay so I do not have pathway issues. Any help greatly appreciated. I am close to giving up on the game because this is just ruining it.

An update...

Bags are now visible! Hurrah. However, they arrive in the cargo bay and stop on the inbound conveyer belt and just don't move. They are now just piling up at check-in and the system is wrecked. Also, those bags that are lucky enough to be unloaded on arriving flights make it to the cargo bay, are loaded on to the conveyer system and never arrive at baggage reclaim where there are countless passengers standing around waiting for baggage that never arrives. Furthermore, to see bags on the screen, I have to be zoomed in seriously close otherwise they are invisible again.

I'd upload a screenshot but I have absolutely no idea how to do that.

This is rendering the game utterly unplayable and until it is fixed, i'm gonna have to abandon the game. It's wrecked.

Hi, I understand your frustration, this sounds very strange. Are you sure they are not just hidden because you are zoomed out? I think we will need the save to take a closer look of what is wrong. Can you report on www.airportceo.com? Sorry for the issues you are having.

[A-Train]

The issue I've been having is bags are getting held up at the Baggage Detector and gumming up the works. I have to manually sit there and click and clear bags, and there seems to be something wrong with every other bag.

This RNG needs to be adjusted (WAY down). At one point all the bags were going into the Destruct-O-Max and I can't imagine pax are too happy about that.

I have set up everything as listed but I cannot activate my baggage bay. I have everythign connected and all arrows flow the correct way. I have 24 ramp agents for 3 gates and the bay so I am fine on staff. The Red circle will be constant I I keep getting that I cannot activate the bay. I have close the conection to all checkins, stands, and what not.

Any advice?

Can you share a picture?

Is everything related turned on?
Is there a secure area path from the terminal to the baggage bay?

Can undergorund baggage belt go under overground baggage belt? it is not working for me.

Yes

So it is not working for me. can you show me an image as an example.

[Cleaver of OZ]

No it can't as it tries to join up. You have to route your belts so they don't cross each other.

No this is not supported right now. You will need to direct the belts around.
