No planes

[MisterCrow]

Been spending a lot of time building my airport and it was going well and I made a load of money.

So I tried building a second terminal. This failed massively due to poor AI pathfinding, so I deleted it. I was then noticing a huge number of passengers waiting for buses in my main terminal. So I closed the airport to try and clear everything. I then quit and went back in to notice all my vehicles and staff had dissapeared. So I re-hired staff and bought new vehicles. However, despite scheduling new flights, none of the planes trun up, and none of the checkin desks have anything scheduled. No passengers enter my airport either. My airport is now open again, stands accept the commercial flights, my runway's correctly configured too and boarding desks link to stands. Everything's enabled on the Overview screen. Not sure what's happened - I'm totally out of ideas!

If a dev reads this, please let me know and I'll send you my save game to see if you can figure out what's wrong!

1. Make sure taxiways are all wide enough for the airplane type you are accepting
2. Make sure the taxiways are all linked with taxiway nodes
3. Make sure all the area after security is marked as secure and passengers have a clear route from the boarding desk to the stand (They need sidewalks - no walking on the grass)
4. Make sure you have a constructed ATC tower
5. Make sure every stand has a security connection (you can check this by clicking on the stand)
6. Make sure you have at least one holding point
7. Make sure the airport AND security are open
8. Make sure you have the correct staff hired (go to the Job Tasks section on the side pannel and ensure no jobs say "Shortage").
9. If you are servicing medium flights, make sure the runway is at least 800m long and has medium flights enabled.
10. Make sure at least one runway is assigned to Takeoff Only or Takeoff and Landing.
11. Check that all your airline contracts still exist in the flight planned.

If that doesn't work, let me know.

1. Done - 5 tiles wide throughout which has worked fine before.
2. Done.
3. Done.
4. Done. I had two at one point, not sure if this caused problems?
5. Done.
6. Done. Have one at either end of my runway.
7. Done.
8. Done. No shortages.
9. Done. Runway is exactly 800m
10. Done. It serves both takeoff and landing.
11. For some reason I noticed that a lot had disappeared. But when I try adding some new ones, the planes never turn up. The little coloured circle in the top-left corner of the flights (on the flight planner) always remain amber (rather than green).

My hunch is that I had the fastest speed activated for quite a while. I then went into the debug menu and changed the time of day. I'm wondering if this has permanently messed up my game!

Ok. Having 2 ATC towers shouldn't be an issue. I expect that if you changed the day in the debug menu, you will have to resign airline contracts. Hopefully that'll fix it.

Ahh, ok. Not tried that. Will give it a go when I get home :)

Thanks

So I cancelled all my contracts bar two, because it says I still have flights (even though the planner is clear). I've tried signing new contracts with new airlines and scheduled the flights, and still no joy :(

Unfortunatley this is the downside of playing with the debug menu

Yeah I did think that. Oh well, time to start a new game :D

I had a similar issue. I think it was cause by having the automatic flight planner enabled and removing a stand from the game. When I load the game, 1 Plane arrives in my airport, leave again... and as of then no more planes come in.

Solution for me was indeed to start from scratch again :s not removing any stands anymore this time ;)
