So a new month is here & we have a new set of airports & pairings to fly between.

I have a couple of questions about them.

1.  I notice that 10 airports have been retained from last month with 3 new additions from Brazil & 1 from Germany. Is this the way it is supposed to work? I expected fewer retentions & more newer airports.

2. Some of the airport pairings will be impossible to fly passengers to/from. SBSP (Congonhas) has 2 runways of length 1495 metres / 4905 feet & 1940 metres / 6364 feet respectively.  But EDDM, EDDF & KSFO are on the list of its departure destinations. EDDM is also on the arrival list. I can't see any aircraft that could make these long journeys being able to land from or takeoff to these 3 destinations with these runway dimensions. I suspect a sanity check needs to be done when new airports & new pairings are added to ensure that long journeys can be flown.

Hey KSI, how are you?

 

1 - Some POSCON officials said on Discord that some problem may have happened with the airports in February because it wasn't supposed to allow for a repeat. Or maybe the list could have been reset. Anyway, that's the rule: 10 newer airports every month.

 

2 - I noticed this "problem" too. But maybe some bizjet could execute that leg, or not? And yes, I agree with you, you need to check future routes to avoid this “troll”.

Hey Juvenal,

Thanks for the information from Discord. So I understood the new airports philosophy every month correctly.  It's no big deal.

You are absolutely correct that there are biz jets that can travel over 5000 nm non-stop which can execute these legs from short runways. I completely forgot about them!

But when there are over 3000 pax waiting & the capacity of these jets is 20 or less, there aren't enough days in a month to move them all! Only kidding! ?

I agree with you! hahah

Thanks for the input Kumar!

The Trips system is in its very early stages. It will be refined along the way, and hopefully we can add some more nice features to it. The problems you mentioned are known bugs, and we will look into them.

We appreciate the feedback ?

 

One note. The documentation says 20 trips airports not 10.
