Thanx Durk. I asked that question because I want to contribute with some traffic patterns. Most flights are very hard or impossible to track, so I collect data flights from the airports website. Then I schedule them manually on fleet size number (planning to write C++ source for automatic random schedule, knowing the destination, airiliner, and fleet size) .
