Scheduling Page

[Sami]

Any glancing touch outside the modal will close the modal.

I have updated the system core (= sitewide) that the dialogs do not close when user clicks at the background. This applies only for mobile/touch devices, desktop is unchanged.

Is there anything else related to this that could be improved?

The delay occurs in both current editions: HAF26 and AOF25.
Routes->Scheduling->HQ:EWR->first plane with routes 737-300->clear schedule->"Are you sure" CONFIRM -> Delay > 1.5s-2s, Proccesing time 0,18s (ok)
Routes->Scheduling->HQ:EWR->first plane with routes 737-300->add flight->mark "All flights" and CONFIRM -> Delay > 1.5s, Processing time 0,16s (ok)

Tested, your airline, the actual real game world:
- Scheduling -> Filter base airport EWR -> Scroll to 737-300, aircraft #20033 -> Clear schedule -> Confirm -> backend processing time <0.3 sec -> UI display change time <0.3 sec. ---> No noticeable delay at all for me.

Re-added all routes back after that. No noticeable delay there either.

So I can't replicate this at my end.

If you resize the window you can see how it adjusts...it tries to scale a bit on the old scheduling page, so its more readable on a small window. Some are small, like KASE, KBIL. But almost all are readable.  Compare to new, can't read very many of them.

Rendering of airport labels is now adjusted a bit more. Probably still needs tuning.

(make sure to reload the page in full)

So, as noted in the latest Changelog, the old scheduling page is now retired from use, since I have not received any major issue reports in over 2-3 weeks now, so it seems to be stable.

There are a few items still on my to-do list for the new page (new minor feature additions discussed here and in Discord), and the Discord channel and this forum thread remains open for further improvement ideas and possible issue reports.

The 7-day scheduling concept's native implementation is one major new feature still to come. Ideally it requires also the new Route Editor, but depending on the final outcome of my tests, I might implement it already before that to Scheduling (won't be optimal to use it from there, but would be a start anyway). More info to come later on this.

Basically you just create a single route for all 7 days, then in Scheduling's Add Flight you see only a single route. Then you choose the days you wish to add for *this* aircraft's schedule (or all of them), and there you go.

When you need to edit, you have only a single route to edit/adjust.

Big plan is that the scheduling will actually happen from Route Editor directly, but we need this 7-day compatibility also to Scheduling directly since both of them need to work with this 🙂

(The 7-day scheduling has never been officially designed, nor an official feature, and just something that users have come up with, but with the 2.0 upgrade I'll try to include it into the system like it should)

Update

As requested, a new "smart time suggestion" has been created for the A check timing.

It searches for the first available 5 hr slot in the schedule. Simply click the button, it does the search, and sets the weekday and time for A check (and also B check if you have the relevant checkbox enabled to replicate the A check's time). You need to save/confirm at the end.

Usually this ends up being on Monday, and I understand that most prefer to have it on some other day. Ideas on how to further tune this?
