Why did flight not depart?

I set up my flights this weekend (first time doing this), and everything looked to be in good shape.  The aircraft was at the right airport, I activated its schedule, all the flights in the aircraft schedule were 'green' and when 7:15a HT came, the flight from MUC to DME never happened.

I did notice that on the flight schedule list the flight # (FCT 1) was missing, but it was showing on the aircraft schedule.  Looks like all other flights are listed so I did a transfer flight from MUC to DME so that at least the DME return takes place (hopefully).

Can anyone suggest where I can look to see why that first flight did not take place?

Thanks!

Your flights will not necessarily start departing starting with the first flight in the schedule…

they will start departing from the first flight in 24 or 72 hours following the time you activated the schedule (depending whether you activated it immediately or with 3 day delay).

So if you activate at 2.47 pm hub time, your flights will start departing as of (and starting with) the flight that follows 24 or 72 hours after the next ORS update that follows your schedule activation time.

Edited:

So imagine you activate at 2.47 pm HT, ORS update is at 3.09 pm HT, and you have flights at 1.19 pm HT and then at 4.06pm HT. The first flight that gets booked given the above times example will be the 4.06 pm flight. Also you can find next ORS update time in “game status” by clicking the oink with the same name on the bottom of the page. ORS update is done every 30 minutes.

one question:

Did you relocate aircraft to propitiate airport?

Hint: To see the flights of your aircraft go to the "Flights"-tab of the aircraft (next to the schedule). There you can see the flights your aircraft has done and the next flights that are booked.
