Hi everyone, I am one of the newest members and have a question about a formula that I found in game Manual for Timetabling.  This is the formula ((Distance/Speed)+{Turn Time})*(2*Frequency)

I created a PHP program to do the calculation for me, but I have some questions about the values I have to input.

I know the Distance and speed, but what is the "Turn Time"?  Is that the turn around time and if so where can I find the value.  The other item is the "2*frequency".  What is that for?

Thanks

Turn time is the turn around time. It is aircraft specific, listed in the aircraft data.

Frequency is the number of flight, as specified by the player when creating the flight.

I hope that your php is only used for calculation as we do not appreciate our player using external scripts to play the game.

I don't know near enough about programming to mess with anything.  It's just for me to do calculations.  I can create a webpage and do math calculations - that is the extend of my skills.  So it's cool.  I'm actually going for a degree in computer programming, so it's just helps me with learing more about it.  I'm here strictly to play the game, interact with people and have fun.

Thanks for the info.

It is so much easier using an Excel spreadsheet and a little imagination.

And after a while, you can just use your imagination, I find that a lot more fun and a lot more enjoyable.
Personally I do not use any spreadsheet or Excel.
I can tell you that at least 40% of my A/C are utilised to under 10mins and many have 00.00 time remaining.
It is very satisfying doing this using a bit of ole fashioned brain power alone.
