Title: Route Map Issues
Post by: scotty2061 on April 20, 2008, 05:41:24 am
I'm submitting this as a bug because it is driving me nuts when the route map doesn't display or displays incorrectly due to another issue.
The following airports have IATA codes and ICAOs that GCM does not map: Unplottable with IATA or ICAO Code with GCM
AnShun HuangGuoShu Bose Davis Station Dongying Handan Jinggangshan Jiuzhai Huanglong Kanasi Liancheng - Longyan GuanZaiShang Lincang Liping Manzhouli Mirny Station Muan Airport Nalati PanZhiHua BaoAnYing Redang Airport Sari Torres Islands Wenshan Puzhehei Wuhai Xingyi Yancheng-China 50,674 Yucheng GuanGong Zhijiang
The following airports need to use the ICAO code to get any type of relavant map:
Agostinho Neto Albacete Los Llanos al-Jouf al-Jawf Domestic Airpo Amundsen-Scott Station Aracati Arak Araripina - PE Arcoverde - PE Asaloyeh Bakki Ban Huoeisay Airport Bonito Brisbane Archerfield Caernarfon Campos Sales - CE Chemnitz Chu Lai Airport Con Dao Co Ong Airport Dezfool Egelsbach Eisenach Kindel Feira de Santana Fort Nelson Airport Gachsaran Galle Koggala Airport Gera Leumnitz Gorgan Gyor Per International Hengchun Herzlia Airport Iguatu Ilam Iranshahr Itaperuna Jena Schongleina Jiroft Kahramanmaras Katiu Airport Khanty Mansiysk Khoy Lamard Llanbedr Madrid Cuatro Vientos Magdeburg Cochstedt Maria Reiche Neuman Marshall- Don Hunter Memmingen Allgau Neuhausen Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport Nha Trang Cam Ranh Airport Obidos - Tirios Oudomsay Airport Pai Airport Passau Vilshofen Patos de Minas Polokwane International Airpor Punta del Este Raivavae Airport Ravensthrope Rio Turbio Sabzevar Sahand Sao Paulo - Campo de Marte Sarakhs Serra Talhada - PE Sirjan Speyer Spremberg Welzow Stendal Borstel Strausberg Takume Airport Tanjung Manis Long Banga Airpo Tokat Trat Airport Ventspils International Videira Wirawila Airport Yangyang Int`l Yasuj Zanjan

This is correction on the list of airports that need to use the ICAO code to get any type of relavant map:
Albacete Los Llanos al-Jouf al-Jawf Domestic Airpo Amundsen-Scott Station Aracati Arak Arcoverde - PE Asaloyeh Bakki Bonito Brisbane Archerfield Caernarfon Campos Sales - CE Chemnitz Chu Lai Airport Con Dao Co Ong Airport Dezfool Egelsbach Eisenach Kindel Feira de Santana Gachsaran Galle Koggala Airport Gera Leumnitz Gorgan Gyor Per International Hengchun Herzlia Airport Iguatu Ilam Iranshahr Itaperuna Jena Schongleina Jiroft Kahramanmaras Katiu Airport Khanty Mansiysk Khoy Lamard Magdeburg Cochstedt Maria Reiche Neuman Memmingen Allgau Nha Trang Cam Ranh Airport Obidos - Tirios Pai Airport Passau Vilshofen Patos de Minas Polokwane International Airpor Raivavae Airport Ravensthrope Sabzevar Sahand Sarakhs Serra Talhada - PE Sirjan Speyer Spremberg Welzow Stendal Borstel Strausberg Takume Airport Tanjung Manis Long Banga Airpo Tokat Trat Airport Ventspils International Videira Wirawila Airport Yangyang Int`l Yasuj Zanjan
I found an error in the forumlas I was using to do the analysis in Excel and the above list is now more accurate for that catagory. If the admin team would like a copy of the spreadsheet with all of the coorindates from GCM, please let me know and I will be more then happy to e-mail it to them. The file is about 2.5MB.

I've noticed something else. When using IE7, the route map will also disappear when the route-map URL gets to certain length. It appears IE7s URLs are only allowed to be a certain length and then it cuts them off. However it has continued to run in Firefox without this problem.

Have you ever seen something Microsoft that worked the way it was supposed to?

AHI, or Rick, please pm me a list of all affected IATA codes (where ICAO is preferable or IATA is unrecognized entirely by GC), i'll update the in-game list accordingly.

1. You may have exceeded the maximum number of flights GCM can handle or 2. You have created a route to an airport that GCM does not recognize.
If it is 1. we cannot do anything as we have no influence on GCM. If it is 2. then have a look at the airports you have created the last routes to. When you click on view airport and do not see a map please let me know which airport it is.
