Re: [Flightgear-devel] Seasonal AI-Flighplans, AI Dash-8

This change would probable involve a new input file format, which would be a lot closer to that of actual airline time tables, and would be a lot easier to build than the current ones. Heh, I have built a small Java-Program using the JCHR constraint handling kit which does a similar thing. One can edit schedules in OpenOffice or some other CSV-capable software in a format similar to the actual airline schedules and provide a number of aircraft, which are then scheduled to a series of flights. It's not perfect, but it works. Currently, one has to separate the schedules by aircraft type, but I'll probably get that one fixed as well. With this software we already got the schedule of Intersky complete and EDNY is already busy - if you can say that a regional airport is busy ;-) It just has that unfortunate minor bug that F50s are flying around and noch Dash-8s. ;-) Given a better replacement, I could post the flightplans. Ingrid is working on the Star Alliance Flightplans :-) (no guarantees, however ;-) Sounds good. :-) Yeah, that should provide some more busy skies. But the schedule has I think over 200 pages in small print. We've been searching for a format more suitable for automatic processing, but up to now to no avail.
