Path finding is just the worst...

[Hixzen]

After becoming so frustrated with game I shelved it for almost a year. I saw there were major updates and continue to see other small updates just about every single day. So, I give it another try. Seems cool, lots of new stuff, new icons, larger map, this should be fun - finally.

Nope.. the path finding is still hot garbage. I spend hours building a new airport, not super huge, but, decent. passengers get through security... some move on to the gates but most just stop, just sit there, no error it seems, they are just stuck.

The debug menu is of no help and even simply pressing F10 stops some functions from working, as the little warning indicated.

Sigh, oh well.. maybe i'll try playing it again in another 8 months.

Are you playing Beta 3 or Beta 4?

[RamblinRick]

Pathfinding has always been garbage, especially for vehicles. I've been playing the betas for a couple years

[Lord Topley]

I was the same, I shelved this game for over a year and decided to retry since it hit Beta.

Pathfinding is horrid in this game. I do everything correctly and it works. Then a passenger or collection of passengers just randomly refuse to find a route and stand there.

The absolute lack of feedback from the game as to what the error is, I think is the biggest issue, especially for new users.

This does not sound correct at all, would you be able to bug report the airport where this happens and let me know the number here? Obviously we want nothing more than to take a look at the issue and make sure to solve it, especially since it's been recurring for you for an extended period of time.

Same goes for anyone else who has pathfinding issues and am able to bug report it and get back with the number here so that we can check it out in detail.

Came here to chip in. I had to quit my most recent save because of the poor pathfinding. There are hundreds and hundreds of red warning markers and other errors simply because the customers "can't" go literally 4 feet through any conceivable path to reach their destination despite even the analysis tool saying that the path is fine. The same goes for employees, vehicles, and planes. It's like nothing wants to move and it's not for any reason I can fix or do anything about.

Yeah, I've been playing and trying to find support on this topic, the car vehicle flow has been really a detractor from this game. I've submitted a few reports been over to the game's site on the forums as well and really can't find a solution. What I have found is that double lane loads generally do not work and minimizng any sort of turns

Yes, a hotfix is coming.
Issues like that have to be expected when playing on Experimental.

I'm finding that the vehicle paths are fine, but my planes are grouping up at the runway exit, despite me having 2 taxi path lines on each taxiway (small aircraft)

[Friendly MANN]

At least pathfinding works well for GA

[MedJet]

yeah they've never been able to consistently deal with taxiing aircraft maneuvering around the airport and from runways efficiently. It's sporadic at best and a nightmare at worst.

I have plenty of people leaving however NONE is comming to the airport noone is checking in

Guys, if you are looking for help for your pathfinding issues, please post screenshots, bug report number or upload your savegames.
It's not possible to help without having details about your airport setups. :)

Just as @andycishere says, that helps alot! Bug reporting and then dropping the bug report number here also helps a lot as we can check out the save immediately then. You can also contact us directly on [e-mail] for expedited issue handling, be it pathfinding or anything else.
