Planes Can't Find Runway
I have been building up my airport for quite some time and all the sudden my planes are struggling to find a way to the runway. In the past I would have to destroy some terminal and make a new artificial path for them. This time this plane is REALLY stuck. Any ideas? I have tried reloading the saved file... Nothing :(

Are you sure the plane in question can reach both ends of all runways? The pathfinder for planes is old and battle-tested, it never falsely states stuck on aircrafts (at least I didn't get a case in ~2 years).

Make sure that there's no one-way taxiway blocking the path to any end of a runway. Also, if a runway is down for maintenance any crossing runway cannot be used for takeoff/landing and the runway under maintenance may not be used for taxiing.

If you can't find anything share a screenshot of your layout so we can take a look and help you out :)

Hello Joscha thanks for the quick reply. I have noticed that while playing in edge some of my saves, when opened, are missing the taxiways in random sections of my layout but when I hover over them they say "road in the way". I then delete the "ghost taxiway" and remake it and the planes still are stuck. How do you share screenshots? I do NOT have a single one way taxiway if that helps at all.

You can do screenshots with F12 and later (when done playing or from the library) upload them and then link them here. Though if you see "ghost" taxiways on a save mind trying that save on the default version of SA? They're currently compatible and send the save with the problem over to us?

See this thread for further information on sending saves and/or logs.

This is the plane that is struggling to get to the runway. For some reason this time I loaded the save ALL taxiways were intact... sometimes they disappear

Here is the runway that plane is trying to go to... no problem with the maintenance

Hopefully those screenshots work :) Not sure if I did them right but they should now all be up to date

Looks good to me - can you try out your save on default once? This may be a known bug regarding maintenance on edge which I didn't get to fix yet (basically objects get marked as "needs to be maintained" but too early and the maintenance never starts but sicne it's marked a plane may not use it anymore).

Hello there,

Just tried playing the save in default mode and same issue. In the past I had to destroy parts of my terminal to make a new path to the runway that the plane was originally going to.

Thanks for testing - must be something else then. I cannot see any issue from the screenhots, mind sending over your save?
alexvladimirowen 27 Jan, 2021 @ 2:38pm 
Sure thing. How do I link the saved file to this post?
joscha999  [developer] 27 Jan, 2021 @ 2:39pm 
You don't, just zip it and send it to our email.

See this thread for further information on sending saves and/or logs.

Should be sent :)

Any updates?

If this still happens on the latest edge deploy (from last week) be sure to send in your newest save @brunoais - I've tried on some older saves but didn't find any that could reproduce the issue well.
