Gate Information Display
You can assign any Display to any Gate using the standard ingame assignment function (like you assign Gate Agent Desks to Gates, you will find the Assignment button when you select the Display).* You can assign any number of Gates to your Display.** If you assign more than one Gate, the display shows random information from one of the assigned gates. If you assign no Gate at all, the Gate Information Display only shows the current time of the game day, the Flight Information display shows a flight plan of your entire airport. There is no requirement on where the Display is located, or on which floor. You just have to assign the Display to the Gate.
This is a Script mod. Make sure to enable the mod in Mod Settings if your display stays completely empty after unpausing.
Thanks to modair and chick10000 for your help setting up the objects and for contributing the bare objects. You’re awesome!
* Due to a limit in the game’s modding engine, it’s currently not possible to assign a Gate to a Display, but only the other way around: You can only assign a Display to a Gate. After assigning, the assignment lines are visible in both directions, though. It’s just that you can’t assign it via the Gate’s menu. Please use the Display’s Assignment menu for the time being.
** Due to a limit in the game’s modding engine, the game will currently LOSE ASSIGNMENTS when this mod is TURNED OFF during LOAD or SAVE AIRPORT operations. Make sure the mod is running before load and save.***
*** If you encounter the mod getting automatically shut off, this is most probably due to an error. I will need your log files after this happened to check why it got deactivated. Please come over to our discord at https://discord.gg/dtaYqRz and share your log with me. Come to the #modding-discussion channel to find me there.

V2.0.0 – BIG overhaul. It took a while, and it was not easy, but you can now manually assign Gates using the in game assignment function, currently only on the Display’s assigment menu. This means, your Displays for specific gates can be far away from your actual Gate or the Boarding facility, and you have full control over the Display’s assignment. After installing this update, all your Displays will only show the time, and all automatic assignments are gone. Please manually assign all Gates you want to display on each specific Display.
