Hi everyone!
I just signed in the forum, I have been playing for like 3 days now, so I am a newbie here :D

I would like to make a such connection:

Barcelona -> Cologne/Bonn -> Hamburg -> Tegel -> Munich -> Frankfurt am Main -> MUC -> TXL -> HAM -> CGN -> BCN

I want to operate this route daily, I mean the aircraft returns to BCN the same day it departed (The total route time is about 10 hours) and after arrival in BCN it can still be used for other connections so that it flies whole day.
Now I think that all the frequencies should be set to 0,5 except for MUC -> FRA flight, which frequency is 1. And what concerns me is whether such a setting of frequencies would result in the aircraft flying the whole route on the same day?

I have read the manual, as well as the forum topic on the 0,5 frequencies, but still not 100% sure of how it works.

Would be really grateful for any advice :)

In order for this to happen, you first must also have focus cities at least in HAM and MUC.

Second, calculate the block times for each city pair and multiply by two (since all you're really doing is a convoluted round-trip). If the total is under 24 then you can run this route with no issues. You cannot put more than 24 hours of flight time on a plane.

If you wanted an aircraft to follow that route that you've layer out abouve then you would need to have focus cities located all over Europe.

When creating routes it always originates from your focus city so all of those flights would come from Barcelona. 0.5 routes are just one way flights if you wanted the flight to complete a round trip then you would set the frequency to 1 i.e barcelona to Frankfurt the aircraft would fly to Frankfurt and then fly back creating a round trip. Dunno if this has helped at all sorry if it's just all rambelings

Yes, I know that but I didn't know how to set the frequencies in 'the chain' of connections. Anyway thanks for your reply :)

Yeah, everything's calculated and planned, the total is about 10 hours + the turn rounds so it will definitely be under 24 hours  8)

In order for this to happen, you first must also have focus cities at least in HAM and MUC.

Now I get it, thanks a lot !  :D
