Departures board

Watch the video: The live map

The Departures board shows one of your airline's hubs the way an airport screen does: the flights leaving and the flights arriving, with their status. Anyone can open it from your airline's public page, so it shows visitors that your airline is busy.

What it shows

  1. Open your airline's page and press Departures board, or go to Airline › Departures board in the menu.
  2. If your airline has several hubs, pick one at the top.
  3. Departures lists the flights leaving the hub; Arrivals lists the flights coming in. Each row has the scheduled time, the callsign, the other airport, the aircraft type and the status.
  4. The status follows the flight: Scheduled while it's booked, Boarding and Taxiing once ACARS starts, Departed after take-off, En route or On approach with the expected arrival time, then Landed and Arrived. A flight that landed somewhere else shows Diverted and the airport.
  5. Flights stay on the board for a few hours after they land. The page updates itself every minute. Times are UTC.

What it doesn't show

The board never shows a pilot's name or ID: only the callsign, the airports, the aircraft type and the status. Pilots who ticked Hide my flights from other pilots' live maps on their profile aren't on it while they're booked or flying.

On a stream or a website

Staff who can change the airline's settings see On your stream or website under the board.

  1. Copy one of the Link for OBS addresses: dark, light, or see-through for a stream.
  2. In OBS, add a Browser source and paste the link. A width of 900 and a height of 520 fit most boards.
  3. For your own website, copy the Snippet for your website and paste it into the page's HTML.
  4. The board reloads itself every minute. Add &lang=ar to the link for Arabic.

To show it in Discord, paste the board's address in a channel: Discord shows a preview of the page with how many flights are on it.

For staff

  1. Open Staff › Airline settings › Optional features.
  2. Switch on Hub departures board (under Community) and save.
  3. The board uses your hubs from your airline's settings. Without a hub, there's nothing to show.

It's off until staff switch it on.
