Future Updates: Upgrade: Replace folder → Run Update → Clear caches. 📝 Notes & Best Practices If trips CAN start anywhere, enable Auto-Reposition to bypass & avoid “Not at Departure” errors. If trips CAN start anywhere, repositioning only applies after the very first BID in a trip is placed. Flights are invisible & uniquely tagged (TPA + 7000s) to avoid collisions. Always clear caches after installation or upgrade. 📄 License & Attribution License: BSD-3 Portions & Credits derived from CHTrips by Cardinal Horizon © 2024.
