I've been working on a massive AI project for quite some time.  Mostly Asia so far.  But one place I've really been concentrating on has been Hong Kong.  Still have a few airlines to go, I start with an airline and work on all its flights before moving to another.  Using a program known as Yroute.  I save the flights after entering them all, then go to TTools to compile them all into FS.  But then I've noticed something wrong with a couple flights in particular.

I began working on a couple cargo airlines that fly to HKG.  Air Hong Kong (all accounted for) Cathay Pacific (all accounted for) Then came the Air France 747-400F and a KLM 747-400F.  1 flight each, neither are ever seen at HKG even when they are to be departing back to CDG and AMS.  I double checked all the info I put into Yroute, even redid them, recompiled, yet still wont show themselves at HKG.  I've went to both CDG and AMS and watched them depart there, so the flights really exist and are saying they are departing for VHHH.  Yet even at the scheduled departure time from HKG they are not there, anywhere

I've seen my AI at every place there supposed to be except these 2 flights.  Makes no sense...what could be causing this...theres plenty of spaces on the cargo ramps, I've even tried designating spots, but never got them to be there.  Any other flights I put in show up and depart and arrive exactly as scheduled without a problem :-/

It might be worth looking the source .txt files to see if you can spot any errors or omissions.

Could you post the lines from the 'flightplans*.txt' source file.

The first possibility that comes to mind, would be the times. Simply put, you cannot cross 00:00:00 GMT (on daily repeat) or day6 to day0 (weekly) except on the last leg (arrival). This mistake can compile without error, but all or part of the flightplan will fail. The

I'm not sure on how the whole timing thing really works, have to find and re-download the TTools readme.

The basic way I find and program a route is,

1...Find flight, times, and frequency.  This project of mine only covers daily flights with some cargo being installed as daily to liven a couple ramps up, all go by real world times though, usually only take the cargo flights that at least fly 4x a week or more, and I can find the schedules.

2...Take my list of routes and times, go into FS and get all the GMT times for them.

3...Go into yRoute and program everything in, save flights.

4...Go to TTools and compile....and its fine.

Not sure why these 2 flights never showed up.  I've got a Cathay cargo flight going into Paris and its always at both places, has a similar departure and arrival time as Air France.

Heres the lines from the Flightplans file.

Neither line will work properly. Besides legs out of proper order (KL), improperly crossing
