Just want to ask something before the round is reset:

Is it possible to find out how long a route takes before you rent the gate? I have like 6 hours left on one of my longer haul aircraft, and i have rented a few gates only to realize i cant fly there with the plane  :( . I tried multiplying the speed by the hours left on the plane but that didnt seem to work.


Thanks in Advance,
Chris

go to "view routes". Then click on "Basic Research", which is under "Research Routes". It's self expanitory from their.

so just multiply the speed by the hours left and make sure that number is less than the distance from the route research?

[(distance/speed)+(turn time)] x (2 x frequency) = block time
