I do appreciate the changes but...
The route map is not going to show up in busy airports. It is the same with airlines with a lot of routes. In addition, we still have to check the Arrival & Departure "boards" to make sure where our competitors fly from :wink:
The gate utilization part does not include the airlines holding gates but have no flight from the airport. We still can't hunt those gate-hogging players.
well. allow me to rebut this.
1. not true at present, the busiest airport i know of in the game is MSP and the route map shows up. the unfortunate thing about the route map at present is it's not an AM creation it's an open tool for anyone to use called
great circle mapper. this does not recognize all airports that AM does, and has a few entries that it disagrees with AM on, such as MDM. if an airport serves antartica, or a few other strange airports, the map will not generate. I'm not ambitious enough to know how to code a replacement for GC.
2. gate utilization appears differently to administrative status players (me, hpscott08, stephenm, d1...). To admins, we see all players whom have a gate at the airport with all the information, additionally we see how many slots are free for any user. to everyone else, you see anyone with a reasonable section of the marketshare of an airport (1% or greater).

if there's an issue with gate hogging, just tell us admins and we can see who/why/how much, and take some action against it. we thought past this was a little too far to offer everyone a glance at it all involved.
