I have made 2 custom layouts ... one for 737 max and one for ERJ175. Saved them.
When i select edit on them .. and then try to change the seating again ... i can not select the drop down with the numbers. All i can do is start a new layout from scratch and delete the old one. Can not change seat pitch also. All i can do is change the number of flight attendants.
Is there a time lock on changes or something ? First i thought the seating could not be adapted when plane was flying. But a new layout takes 3 days anyway to show up in planes ...
you can not change settings on layouts already assigned to an aircraft, only the variable that can be easiliy applied to the aircrafts in use - flight attendants.
K thanks ... So when i mak a new temp layout ... can i assign that ... make quick changes to the original seating ... and switch back ? Or will the first plane that shows up after 3 days have the temp layout ... and the one after that with original layout ?
When you change the config, you have to pay for the difference (the new seats that sre being installed). No seats are stored for a later time, only those being used in the new config you are assigning are being re-used.
And any changes only apply to flights that have not yet been booked into the system (do not appear anywhere in the overviews), so technically, it is possible to have a flight with the old config and one before and after that with a new config, should you also make changes to the flight plan (as in plab entirely new flights)
