Title: Gates Improvements
Post by: StephenM on August 31, 2010, 12:35:01 pm
We are delighted to announce the improvement of the gates pages. This improvement has come based on user feedback as well as additional feature implementation. What you can look forward to now is the ability to see City and State names for all airports in the database where these are available.

We have also taken the time to re-design the header on each gates page to better communicate the base system in Airline Mogul. It should be much easier now to identify how many bases you can create and the link between Home bases and Foreign bases.

The importance of locating airports using a variety of methods is also supported. You can now view airports by their IATA or ICAO code by using the search box on the top right of each page, or click on a City, State or Country name or flag to view airports in that area. We have also added the functionality to provide "Wildcard" searching with ICAO codes. A search for EI* will return all airports in Ireland for example, since every Irish airport is prefixed with EI in its ICAO code.

Please take a few moments to familarise yourself with the updated pages and hopefully you will be able to make full use of the improvements we have made.

There should be an option to filter out displaying province and/or state columns. They aren't very useful to me, and (IMO) it makes the page look a little more cluttered.

Any chance you could put the gate value/cost back on the page?

Stephen, you have outdone yourself with this amazing addition to your PHP databases! I hope, and wish I will use this more in the future. Maybe, I'll use it right now in my private world. Again, you've done a great job with this little project. I can only imagine how long it must have taken to code such a beauty. [Yes, I am clearly sucking up to you :P]

Too many things, more than likely the server move.

Can you post a report in the bug forum? Also was it a rented gates or a built gate?

I did expect some players would not require the functionality being offered since its design to give an alternative to building up a route network to the Gate Search method. I will add in an option for Gate Search to turn them on or off in the near future. What do you think of them on the other pages?

There were a number of items that were planned for the pages which were left until after launch to speed things up, reduce terminal was one of them.

Data collection has been on-going for 2 years and is still on-going, the dev work was a good bit shorter. :)

What world and airport do you want to return them at? I can look into the bug that way.

Is there any chance of the gate value/total cost being put onto the page?

You can get the total gate costs from the Finance page.

No, I meant the costs for each individual gate and the total value at each airport, like how my 6 gates at San Diego International cost me 1.5M euros.
