Done some work on the main terminal and the 1st pier on the west wing connected to the main building, this is the J pier. FYI I used the “no building simulation” option from the debug menu (@jasperwillem tnx for the tip! )
Main terminal (still WIP as the baggage claim and shops need to be build)
West wing J pier
In the meantime I have tried a first session to open the airport and see what happens, some stats:
- 14 of 62 medium stands open
- 14 boarding desks open
- 4 of 8 security desks open
- 8 of 32 check-in desks open
- Fuel delivery off
- Baggage handling off
- 4 airline contracts signed
- Autoscheduler on
- 30 mins of minimum flight separation
- All board members hired
- 36 airport staff
- 25 security
- 10 janitors
- 8 service technicians
Because of the size of the airport and the long distances pax and personnel need to cover, I was already expecting issues with delays up front. From plane 1 that arrived the delay already started, mainly because personnel was not on time to open boarding desks, pax seem to be on time. Also experienced the pax on stands issue. When fuel and baggage system will be actived, that will probably cause even more issues. Also only at around 1/5 of the stands are open at the moment, can you imagine the mayhem with all 62 stands open But we all know Olof and Fredrik are working hard on a new pathfinding system and they give us hope that they have great numbers from their tests, so hopefully with that this airport can work as well. Till then will start with 1 stand and open more over time to see where the tipping point is when personnel start delaying flights.
Next update for the design will be finishing the other piers.
