relative time delay

[Silo01]

As I mentioned in the issue I closed because it became to cluttered (https://github.com/rpuig2001/CDM/issues/138), my main issue was the complication of the customdelay in absolute times.

As delivery controller, when I see too much traffic at the holding point it is especially if the taxitimes arent set up perfectly for the airport, quite hard to determine an absolute time to define the customdelay if all I want is to shift everything back by 10 minutes.

Probably the old delay function wont work anymore because the sequences are now runway specific and the old delay was not, but would it be possible to add a function to the customdelay to define the delay not as an absolute time, but just as a relative delay? So for example: .cdm customdelay {airport}/{runway} {delay[minutes]}

This would bring back the simple functionality of adjusting the whole sequence if delays occur, which currently is quite complicated if you are overloaded as delivery.

+1. I accidentally tried this last night. Issued the command .cdm customdelay ESSA/01L 10 wanting a 10 minute delay while overloaded, but instead it caused ES to crash. Oops. :sunglasses:

Changes done as below:

• Fix exception throwing when less than 4 digits.
• Allow 1 or 2 digits to add minutes.

Example: .cdm customdelay ESSA/01L 2120 .cdm customdelay ESSA/01L 10 .cdm customdelay ESSA/01L 5
