Live airport activity - "TO" and "FROM" still backwards since day 1 (9 months later)

Zendesk got this in Aug

Well you actually get something there?
I fly from schiphol amsterdam a lot, but i never see this live aircraft activity screen filled.

Always and it’s usually full if wasn’t middle of night here! I looked at Schip and it said server offline LOL But look at KEWR (Newark)

Heathrow:

Looking at the top departure, and arrival:

Left should be “Departures TO”, and the right would be “Arrival FROM”:

If you just mentally ignore that column title, then you are good. Although the arrival times for BAW48 seem a little off. In the sim its 11:12, but FlightAware has it at 12:21.

It looks like the sim is reporting an hour behind, so AAL50 would actually be 10:23, with FA reporting 10:31, which isn’t bad.

The sim is probably using UTC, with BST being UTC+1.

Yes true, but it shows lack of attention to detail that has been around for 9 months.

You’re right. In isolation it’s a little thing. But there’s an awful lot of these little things, and they add up. I’m going to go out on a limb here to suggest that some of them may simply be down to English not being their first language.

In the last update, I noticed the planes had their localisation files updated. I happened to have a backup of one of the planes, so later I’ll take a look at the files to compare, and see what they changed.

I just double checked that, and it appears they added localisation for Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish. These three lines were added to the “aircraft.loc” for the 172:

  "nb-NO",
  "sv-SE",
  "fi-FI"
