Slots - Engine - 10-14-2017
Can someone tell me how to use slots in the v2 prealpha 9? I have reserved slots at airports I want to fly between, I create the route, when I try to schedule it the game tells me I dont have enough slots.
How do I solve this?
Thanks!

If the slot group for one of the two airports is coordinated, you have to wait until your slots get confirmed.
Once your slots are confirmed you can start scheduling.
Scheduling in advance for the next year/season, with the slots you will have at that time, is something we still have to look at.

What does 'coordinated' slots mean? How do I coordinate them? It appears I can not do more than reserve them.

You don't coordinate the slots, the airport does. You just have to reserve them
An airport with coordinated slots wants to know in advance who wants to reserve how many gates for the next season.
Hence you have to apply for them before a certain date. Then at a few weeks later, the season starts and you can start scheduling with those slots. (or is it immediately after the reservation deadline?)
As long as you are using your slots, they get autoreserved for the next season.
Just a question to pjank: what's the difference between non-coordinated airports and 'schedules facilitated'?

The difference between non-coordinated airports and 'schedules facilitated' is that for the first one you can rent a slot without needing the airport to accept it and for the second one the airport needs to accept it before you are able to rent it.

I tried to reserve slots, although they were never confirmed. I managed to reserve a slot at a non-coordinated airport, had a route going between the two airports, only for it to disappear a few months later (the route disappeared from the route page). Is there anyway to simplify this?
