[2022] Planes Disappearing at Stands

Are you using any mods? Or does this happen in a completely unmodded city?

I only 53 Workshop items altogether, but most are just assets and intercestions.

First check to make sure all stands have a taxiway entering and one exiting them, so the planes can leave again. If they cannot leave, they will despawn.

If that's all as it should be, please add the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods to see if it still happens. If it does, then please report it on our support forum[forum.paradoxplaza.com] so we can investigate further.

How To Set Launch Options

• Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
  
• Enter the launch options you wish to apply in the box (be sure to separate each code with a space). Should look like this:
  -noWorkshop -disableMods
• Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

Also, is there anything being done about taxiways bogging down the gameplay? I know quite a few people have been having issues, myself included. It makes building a sprawling airport hard to do without compromising the experience.

We're currently investigating the reports of performance issues due to taxiways.

As for your disappearing planes, your runway may connect to two different plane paths on the map. These are invisible (can be seen and edited with More Network Stuff, though back up your save if you do this!) and tend to be at the edges of the map. But connecting to two different paths would cause planes to try to exit from an unreachable outside connection.

So what you're suggesting is that I might have my runways set in a particular place to where the planes taking off can't reach a plane path, and since the exit path is generated as the plane reaches the stand, it might detect that is has nowhere to "go" so it disappears?

Yup, that's what I suspect. If this is the case, you will occasionally have planes land on the runway, drive the full length of it and take off again. You can try removing the runway and placing it in a different place and at a different angle to see if that solves it for you.

Here is a youtube link of the problem I'm experiencing. Maybe seeing first hand might help. I uploaded this video myself.

Planes are landing and taking off, so the airport is definitely working. For the despawning planes, please make a report on our support forum and attach the save there, so we can investigate further. Thanks!
