alpha117 51 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I sent 4 aircraft to 'line up and wait' pressed the button on each aircraft strip. They collided with each other, surely they would just follow each other out to the runway holding point in the order you sent them. Then when ready you cler each aircraft for departure Why would they collide with each other on the 'taxi out'? Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james200410 2 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I don't think its possible to allow multiple aircraft to line up and wait, they will just be crashing into each other on the runway. I think the correct procedure would be Line Up / Take Off ... then Line Up / Take Off for each individual aircraft. Just tried the Demo and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Clive Well yeah... you can only line an aircraft up when that part of the runway is free. It is allowed on most airports to line an aircraft up then one is taking off though.

wildbillkelsoe 3 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I think a line up takes between 30 to 35 seconds. base it like this: #1 lineup ... 35 seconds... # 2 lineup + #1 takeoff... 35 seconds.. #3 lineup... #2 takeoff... etc..

In fact, it depends a bit on the runway. some runways have sharp turn entries etc while other have high speed ones. So, as with almost every part of GATC you can tweak this! GATC is really a very very open development and we hope that users will participate to make it better. Of course we are not able to tweak every runway in the world during development, but if you do your local airport and somebody else his local airport we end up with a quickly improved world. Same goes for airlines and aircraft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
