I'll fix them as I'm made aware of them (or notice them otherwise) if and when i need to work on the affected file, or periodically as a spurt.
so far we have "Transations" twice in the operations department, "Most be a hub..." in create route.
so. post them up, page/typo. Time for a centralized typo thread. I'm sure there's a few typos on the main page.
-
I'll never notice them :D
-
I noticed the "most be a hub" one, but i thought it'd be better for you guys to solve the big bugs first.

it is, but if we're working on the page anyways. might as well kill two birds with one stone. typos only take a few seconds if you're already working on the page itself, and relatively shortly we're expected to update the backend of most every page on the website in preperation for multiple worlds.

:lol: .. i dont remember what typos i saw.... but i remember in the messages page there was a typo..
-
Research route page:
Disance for this route
-
The page header of this page: http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/research_route.php
is "Reserch route"
http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/used_ac.php
I'm probably being picky, but shouldn't it be "Please click on a section of the navigation bar?
Either that or "Please click a section on the above navigation bar." Or something along those lines. The original one doesn't look right to me, but I'm not a grammar scholar so I need a bit of confirmation. lol. :lol:
-
It's Johannesburg International Airport!
-
Continent Australiasia should be spelt Australasia.
Suva Nasouri airport should be spelt Suva Nausori.
-
On operations page: Extraordinary Transations, should be Transactions
And on same page, Miscelaneous should be Miscellaneous, both at "Cashflow entries for Miscelaneous Revenues" and "Miscelaneous Expense"
-
Curtis CW-20 aircraft should be spelt Curtiss CW-20

The airport for Cabo San Lucas is misspelled as "Cabos San Lucas."
-
Curtis CW-20 aircraft should be spelt Curtiss CW-20
True :D
Since the aircraft maker's last name is Curtiss
-
fixed the "most be base..." in create route.
fixed the two reported in research route (as i was in there for other reasons).
keep telling me the typos, i'm in random files all the time... when i get the time.
-
Emrald airport should be spelt Emerald
Ravensthrope airport should be spelt Ravensthorpe
Olypic Dam airport should be spelt Olympic Dam

in view gates, it says Utilisation, when it should be spelled Utilization, I only noticed that because someone was helping me, and I copied and pasted that in, good ol' spell checker!
-
I wonder who was helping you. :wink:

It start with S, and rhymes with Beattle, can anyone guess?

It's only spelt with a z if you're American.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I think most words in English(American) and English(British) are spelled the same (officially)

I think its a bit silly to have the same language with different spellings. We (english speakers) shoul form a unified language! 8)

We have, he just doesn't want to admit it! (around the revolutionary war!) which reminds me of a joke...
A Pan Am 727 waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German airplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!"

Not a good idea. Germany, Austria and Switzerland did that for the German language some years ago. With horrible results :(
-
No, we mean the languages where you just pronounce (and maybe spell :roll:) the words just a tiny bit different.
-
On the Join Alliance page, the text above the drop down box reads: Please select an allinace to join.

On the "Operations Department" page, it also says "Catagories" instead of "categories" and "Desription" instead of "Description"

Austria and Germany speak German. German is different..... I am talking abot spelling things the same way and using basically the same vocabulary-minus localized words.

Australiasia has been up on several threads that I've noticed(yes as well as the last page). Oceania would be a good idea as it's so far from both Australasia and Australiasia that's it's difficult to confuse with...well anything. And it doesn't imply that we're part of Australia. I still insist New Zealand works for the continent name though. I mean honestly, Australia IS just our West Island

Since this is a typo thread, why is a Pan Am 727 in Munich? Bit out if a 727's range? :P
There are a few spelling errors, mostly just the smaller airport names. Is there a way we can help change them?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the continent lists (and nearly every other reference to continents) has a spelling mistake for Australasia.
On AM, it is spelt Australiasia, but in reality, it's Australasia.

From '45 to '91 only the allied countries (GB, SU, US, Fr) had the right to fly into Berlin. So instead of using Lufthansa as a Westerner going there you had to take airlines like BA, AF or Pan Am.
-
The "Miscelaneous Revenues" and "Miscelaneous Expense" on the Operations Department page should be "Miscellaneous". Also, should that be "Expenses" (plural), as I assume there are multiple expenses.
-
Airport Names:
Abakhan: change to Abakan
Liepaya: change to Liepaja
Helsink-Malmi: change to Helsinki-Malmi
Saarmelleek: change to Sarmellek
Karlovy: change to Karlovy Vary
Clermont: change to Clermont-Ferrand
(KV and CF-Airports: The cities have names that consist of two parts, the second part is not a denominator of the airport)
Also: Blue Danube Airport Linz: Make it just Linz
Bolzano: change to Bolzano/Bozen (as the province is bi-lingual)
And most of your Ukraine airports are in the DB with their russian name, better change them to the current names:
Lvov -> L'viv
Kharkov Osnova -> Kharkiv
Kiev Borispol -> Kiev Boryspil // Kyyv Boryspil'
Odessa -> Odesa

This has probably been pointed out several times but just double checking as it is still incorrect.[/b]

Some misspelled Airport names:
Slovakia:
Sliac should be Silac
(change place of the L and I)

Success is spelled wrong when you rent a gate.

General Updates
Over the past two months there have been a number of updated to the game.
should be number of updates.
-
In a few places I think (I can only think of the Create Route process) there are things like "more then" when it should be "more than" (eg 2500 pax).

Remember back in the days when you first registered an account. The confirmation email's subject was spelt wrong.

This typo is in Canada. "St. Johns" is supposed to be "St. John's". The apostrophe is important! One implies numerous people, the other does not. Thanks.
-

That was due to the system, when it had problem taking the apostrophe.
Now corrected.

Thanks!

I know that "Emrald" (which should be "Emerald") has been mentioned before, but I also want to add "Charlieville" which should be "Charleville" . Both in Australia.

Similar stuff has been reported for renting gates...however, for sending mails to an airline via PM, it says:
"Message sent sucessfully to the airline!"
a successful message would be
"Message sent successfully to the airline!"
-
Minor one, in the drop-down box in the 'Rent Gate' section:
should be:
1 gate (i.e. without the 's')
2 gates

ICAO / IATA: LKTB / BRQ
-
oh,i am used to vowels

Then don't go to the Czech Republic :P
Not a typo, indeed.
-
Country name:
Viet Nam: Incorrect
It should be Vietnam not Viet Nam
Actually...it is correct both ways 8)
Not in English, it's not.
Unless we start seeing "Espana" and "Deutschland" in the game.
BTW, I aggravates me to no end that airports aren't consistently listed as city served first, then name. While the following are listed as expected:
- (YYZ) Toronto-Pearson
- (YUL) Montreal-...Trudeau
- (CLT) Charlotte-Douglas
... the following have (that I can think off hand), quite frankly, crappy listings in light of the fact that we have to select it from a pull-down menu:
- (SNA) John Wayne Airport - Should be listed either "Santa Ana-John Wayne" or "Orange County-John Wayne"
- (BWI) Glen Burnie - Should be "Baltimore/Washington"... I have no idea why it's listed as "Glen Burnie" but the airport's full name is "Baltimore/Washington-Thurgood Marshall Airport". Who the hell is Glen Burnie?
- (PVD) Theodore Francis Green State - A big "WTF?" here. We just know it as "Providence"
- (STL) Lambert-St. Louis - Should be "St. Louis-Lambert"
- (SJC) Normal Y Mineta-San Jose - Should be "San Jose-Mineta International"
- (OAK) Metropolitan Oakland Int'l - Just call it "Oakland"
- (MSY) Louis Armstrong-New Orleans - Flip it around.
- (CMH) Port Columbus - Just call it "Columbus"
- (BDL) Windsor Locks/Hartford - Yes, it's in Windsor Locks, but it should be listed as "Hartford-Bradley"
- (ANC) Ted Stevens - Should be listed as "Anchorage-Ted Stevens"
- (AUS)
- And the big one... why is ATL listed as "Hartsfield-Atlanta" and not "Atlanta" or "Atlanta-Hartsfield"?
And if the named airport should be the listing, then may I suggest the following edits:
- LHR - Change to "Heathrow"
- JFK - Change to "John F. Kennedy Airport"
- LGA - Change to "LaGuardia Airport"
- DCA - Change to "Ronald Reagan National Airport"
- CDG - change to "Roissy"
- ORD - Change to "O'Hare Int'l Airport"
.... just to make it a little more hard.
I'm sure there are more. I imagine most of the issue above are because of local references... and to those locals, I say "Eff you, locals! The rest of the country doesn't care who the airport is named after!"
I feel better now.
-
BTW, I aggravates me to no end that airports aren't consistently listed as city served first, then name.
We are in the process of making that happen, seperating the airport name and the city that it is located in. The issue is that while we are updating our large database, the city name is not listed until we have finished the updating.
... the following have (that I can think off hand), quite frankly, crappy listings in light of the fact that we have to select it from a pull-down menu:
Fact is that they are ALL correct based on FAA listing.
- (SNA) John Wayne Airport - Should be listed either "Santa Ana-John Wayne" or "Orange County-John Wayne"
City name: Santa Ana
Airport name: John Wayne Airport-Orange County
- (BWI) Glen Burnie - Should be "Baltimore/Washington"... I have no idea why it's listed as "Glen Burnie" but the airport's full name is "Baltimore/Washington-Thurgood Marshall Airport". Who the hell is Glen Burnie?
City name: Glen Burnie
Airport name: Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshal
The airport is located in Glen Burnie according to FAA record.
- (PVD) Theodore Francis Green State - A big "WTF?" here. We just know it as "Providence"
City name: Warwick
Airport name: Theodore Francis Green State
The airport's name is the name. What you "know it as" does not make it correct.
- (STL) Lambert-St. Louis - Should be "St. Louis-Lambert"
City name: St. Louis
Airport name: Lambert-St Louis International
Once again, that is the official name of the airport. Whether the airport management should change it is none of our business.
- (SJC) Normal Y Mineta-San Jose - Should be "San Jose-Mineta International"
City name: San Jose
Airport name: Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International
Same deal as the above two.
- (OAK) Metropolitan Oakland Int'l - Just call it "Oakland"
City name: Oakland
Airport name: Metropolitan Oakland International
You may want to suggest that through the contact page on the airport's website.
- (MSY) Louis Armstrong-New Orleans - Flip it around.
City name: Metairie
Airport name: Louis Armstrong New Orleans International
Flip it around... and change it from right to wrong.
- (CMH) Port Columbus - Just call it "Columbus"
City name: Columbus
Airport name: Port Columbus International
What it is called is how it should be called. It is not in our control how the airport is named.
- (BDL) Windsor Locks/Hartford - Yes, it's in Windsor Locks, but it should be listed as "Hartford-Bradley"
The airport is currently listed as "Windsor Locks - Bradley International" in our database. Either you have mis-read or the world you are in is not updated yet.
City name: Windsor Locks
Airport name: Bradley International
- (ANC) Ted Stevens - Should be listed as "Anchorage-Ted Stevens"
City name: Anchorage
Airport name: Ted Stevens Anchorage International
- (AUS)
City name: Austin
Airport name: Austin-Bergstrom International
Can't see anything "wrong" with that....
- And the big one... why is ATL listed as "Hartsfield-Atlanta" and not "Atlanta" or "Atlanta-Hartsfield"?
City name: Atlanta
Airport name: Hartsfield - Jackson Atlanta International
Because that is how it is named, according to FAA listings.
And if the named airport should be the listing, then may I suggest the following edits:
- LHR - Change to "Heathrow"
- JFK - Change to "John F. Kennedy Airport"
- LGA - Change to "LaGuardia Airport"
- DCA - Change to "Ronald Reagan National Airport"
- CDG - change to "Roissy"
- ORD - Change to "O'Hare Int'l Airport"
.... just to make it a little more hard.
Some of these have been changed, and some of them will be changed.
Chicago O'Hare International is the official name, and will not be altered.
Aéroport de Paris Charles de Gaulle is the official name, and therefore will not be changed either.
LHR, JFK and LGA are listed correctly, once the city names are shown, and taken away from the entries that were first updated.
DCA's official name is Ronald Reagan Washington National.
This is not about making things "harder". This is to help with the "realism", which a lot of players ask for. If we do not use an accurate database, some people like you, but with an opposite view, will come and complain about the inaccurate information.

naughty boy! zero-tolerance about the talking of the name of Taiwan on this forum. AMDF will chase you. :P

At the above page, miscellaneous is misspelled twice (Miscelaneous Revenues and Miscelaneous Expense*) in the Cashflow column.
(*)Also, shouldn't this be Expenses?

BWI/KBWI is currently "Glen Burnie - Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshal Airport".
There needs to be a second L at the end of "Marshal" (see the airport's website (http://bwiairport.com/)).
This occurs on every page on which the airport name shows up (World View, View Gates, etc.).
-
Not really a typo, but...
Toronto City Centre Airport was renamed to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, and
Coventry Airport shut down a few days ago...
-
There is a T missing from the word airport in CMN's name: "Casablanca - Mohammed V Airpor".

Baltimore Washington International Airport, BWI, is NOT located in Glen Burnie as you have the name is, its Linthicum... just take out that part altogether I think....
-

Glen Burnie is the one stated by FAA
-
Well actually on the BWI website it says that BWI Airport is a legal mailing address, I think you should take off the city all together! The Glen Burnie part!
-

It needs a city name, and in order to make things more straight forward we choose a centrally recognised source where possible. It may not always appear to be perfect for local people, I know of one airport in Ireland that I hadn't heard of before until I found its "real" name, but its the way we manage a global set of data. If you have the time to get a list of all official, local, colloquial and pet names for all airports in our database, we'd be glad to let you get a head start. :)
-
As much as I find the Glen Burnie part to be illogical, I guess it does need to have a city name.
On this page (http://www.gcr1.com/5010web/airport.cfm?Site=BWI), under "Remarks", it shows a correction to the name of the airport that has the second "L" in Marshall. Is this an acceptable source?
-
All airport typos fixed.
-

Glen Burnie is the one stated by FAA
Really? According to this FAA source, Glen Burnie appears nowhere in the name of BWI (not even on this page). It identifies Baltimore, MD as the city/metropolitan area in which the airport is located.
http://nfdc.faa.gov/nasr/airportLookup/airportDisplay.jsp?category=nasr&airportId=BWI
Of course, the airport's official website doesn't use 'Glen Burnie' either.

Northwest Florida International is spelt Norwest Florida International in the game. (missing t and h)

MEL/YMML has picked up an extra 't' - Melbourne Tullamarine Intertnational.

Dornier Seatar is missing an 's', its name is Dornier Seastar.
-
Got those...
-
Dunno if it is a typo, but I think it is.
In the 'view all aircraft' page the Boeing 737-400 and -500 have the introduction year set to 1. But I can't order it right now (1959). Maybe you can correct that?
-
Those are not exactly typos. We have some variants of those aircrafts that we wanted to phase out due to inaccurate data. In order not to affect the aircrafts that have been flying, we had the available years changed. It has been a while since then, so we will take a look if all the aircrafts of those variants have been retired. If so, we could delete the entries. Thanks for reminding us.
-
O.R. Tambo Interntional
should be
O.R. Tambo International

Engine variant of Tupolev 354 is Progres D436T2, I think it should be Progress D436D2 (to S instead of one)

At Rent gates/View gates;
Vertmont should be

-
In the 'view all aircraft' list, the 'in service' date of the 737-400 and 737-500 is set at 1. Shouldn't it be 1988 and 1990?
-

We have some older variants with "seemingly inaccurate" data that needed to be phased out. We changed the available year to move them off market, but keep the ones being operated in the game.
-
HET - Huhehoate Baita International
should be either Huhehaote or Hohhot
Hohhot is the English name; if this is changed then the City field should also be changed (the typo is not present there).
-
The Swedish city of Gothenburg is also spelled as Göteborg in the game, with each of the two airports having their distinct name. That way, only one airport will show up when clicking Gothenburg or Göteborg.
Airport ID# 199 and 186
-
It is called Göteborg.
-
in Swedish it's called Göteborg, in English it's called Gothenburg.
-
Create focus city page-'It is required to have atleast 4 gates rented at the airport before you may create a focus city.'

I found an aircraft with a typo in it. In the game it is called "McKinnon G-21G Tubro-Goose" while in reality it is "McKinnon G-21G Turbo-Goose". You swapped the b and the r in turbo.
-
And another one with a typo in it, or two to be exactly. In the game they are called GAF N22 Normad and GAF N24 Normad. But that's wrong! It's Nomad, not Normad. The R should go in both aircraft.
-
As VS noted, King Khaled International is called King Khalid International - note the 'i' in Khalid.
