It would be nice, if the flights in the scheduling tool could be made larger (maybe by a setting), so that they include the turnaround-time after the flight landed. ... it's always pretty much work to calculate those gaps. (of course, those times should not affect the possibility to schedule maintenance actions).
Flights would be larger .. ?
I think he's saying he wants some sort of visual representation of the turn around time that he uses in the scheduling GUI.
For example, if you have a fleet type that you use a "standard" 60 minute turn time on it, but its requirement is only 40 minutes, he wants an easy way for the scheduling GUI to represent the turn time as 60 minutes instead of the 40 that it currently does...
currently, if you have a flight from 06.00-07.00 + turnaround 07.00-08.00 + return flight 08.00-09.00, then the flight is shown as 06.00-09.00 ... but the needed time after the flight (09.00-10.00 for the preparation for the next flight, so the turnaround at the home base) is not shown... that's sometimes difficult for scheduling

The minimum turn time is shown now. But it would be nice to show the player-set turn time.
How about make the alloted turnaround time a different colour in the normal blue bar for the flight (like make it a different shade of blue/grey). Turnaround at home base can be interrupted (as long as past minimum) to be scheduled for another flight and outstation turnarounds can be interrupted by maintenance (f.e. if you leave 5 hours turnaround for A check).
