Airport issue with taxxing.

[trainboy99]

Hello all. I registered to try and solve this issue with a scenario on Locomotion. I have played Boulder Brakers for about 90 ingame years. All the towns are now metropolises. I decided to try airplanes, they worked fine until about four planes were landed at one airport. They will not move, and no planes will land there. If I try to switch the destination on the planes that wont land or take off, nothing happens. Is there a fix to this, or do I have to just start a new game?

Hello trainboy99, and welcome to the forums.

I'm not sure whether this is going to help you or not. You may have to many planes in one (1) airport. Have a look inside the hanger, and if there are planes in there, then yes you have. The airport is jammed, so you will have to delete one or more of them to allow the other planes to move.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Unfortunately there are no hangars that I can find. If the planes weren't taxiing I could sell them. Is there a way to get around this?

[Greyfox]

Select a plane that's in the airport, order it to stop, then delete it. All airports in Lomo have a hanger, it's where you build your planes. Try again.

Here's a pic of the situation. As far as I know, there are no hangars in locomotion. They're like trains. You ust build them and place them on the rails. In openttd there are hangars and train sheds though.

Ahh........my mistake. In that case, try deleting them. I still say you have to many planes servicing one airport.

edit: Have a look at each planes orders and check if they haven't lost any.

[trainboy99]

Most of them still had their routes, unless I deleted them. I built a new helicopter to see if the problem still happened to new aircraft, which it does. It is on the helipad at Boulder bay airport and is frozen at "landing at Boulder bay airport 0 mph"

From your pic, It looks as if the planes in the centre of the airport are broken down, They need replacing. You'll have to wait until the smoke disappears, then stop the planes and delete them, (or replace them).

[trainboy99]

They're all taxiing. Can't delete them,

[Greyfox]

Can't you stop them??

[trainboy99]

They are stopped.

[Greyfox]

Actually, they haven't. Although it says 0mph their orders are to taxi. What needs to happen is that the planes need to park at the drop off point, then they will stop. I don't think that I can help you any further, except to delete the game and start again, unless there is somebody else that can help you.

I don't use planes in any of my games anymore, they conflict with the Long Station Patch (LSP). Also you may wish to consider using "lt-Wrapper". This you can use to configure your vehicles, such as "no breakdowns", and/or "no obsolete", and other configs. Use the search function at the top of the page and you will find it. If it is from amitrains.co.uk the site is down at the moment so you'll have to wait.

My apologies.

Ok thanks. I didn't think the issue was fixable. Thanks a lot.

A fair warning: this is a common error and will happen even when the planes cannot break down. As a rule of thumb, try not to have more than 3 vehicles connected to an airport. I make exceptions when the planes take long trips. Still, if you zoom out and there are planes circling around the airport, it's too crowded.

My solution (for 1990 and later) is to use the international airport which looks like the large airport with two runways. It's part of the expanded airport pack which, due to AMI Trains being unavailable, cannot be downloaded. I would be happy to post it, but I'm not the creator so I don't have permission to distribute it.

Fair comment I suppose, but when I was using planes in my games I don't remember having this problem, only in TTD. Besides, "no breakdowns" is the way to go.
