Tips on how to quickly de-route ac

[pharmy]

Does anyone have a faster way of removing ac from routes, other then by the whole base? It takes forever to renew my fleet (even longer then creating routes), as I have to remove each older plane from their routes one by one and over two screens remove from routes, and a  further 3 backscreens, and then again two screens to sell (ok this can be mass) or scrap? Couldn't remove from routes be added next to the magnifying glass/scrap plan icons?

There should now be a slightly faster way to replace an aircraft on a route. Basically hit the button to re-create a route at the end of closing it.

errr...Stephen, if you don't mind, could you give a step-by-step way of doing it?
Would be much appreciated.
cheers

Exactly as Stephen said, close the route and you will then have the option to recreate using a different aircraft. Selecting it will bring you back to the create route page without having to re-select the city pair.

Thanks, this does help with long-range routes, but on shorter routes, closing them one-by-one probably takes longer as this function dosn't work on close all routes

That's a good idea. On close all routes, could there be a button next to each route closed message. Perhaps with the create route boxes opening in new tabs/windows.

is this the much awaited  hot swap ?
OR is the real deal still awaited?

This is not hot swap, but is a good step towards it. Hot swaps would involve automatically being able to transfer all the routes from one plane to another. This is still involves manual redoing of each route.

Thats basically it.
