General Chat / Inactive Airlines in private worlds?

« on: October 28, 2008, 01:22:59 pm »

Is it alright (or within the game rules) for the founder of a private world to remove inactive airlines? I have a relatively small world, that is completely full, and want to remove players who are just taking up a slot.

Bugs / [Update Required] Close All Routes

« on: October 06, 2008, 11:23:29 pm »

The close all routes button on the confirmation page that lists all of the routes you are planning to close does not do anything. Therefore you cannot close all of the routes from a hub at one time.

Bugs / Creating an alliance

« on: July 25, 2008, 01:58:23 pm »

I had petitioned to enter an alliance in world 8, but decided to create my own alliance BEFORE I was accepted into the alliance I was trying to get into. For some reason, AFTER I created a new alliance I was still accepted into the alliance I was trying to join. I was removed from the alliance I created.

I would appreciate if I was placed back in the AeroInternational alliance as soon as possible. (as the CEO or leader or whatever it is called)

My airline idea is 10456.

General Chat / Changing Passenger Data

« on: June 25, 2008, 03:16:01 pm »

I was wondering if there is an effort to update outdated airport passenger data. Also, is passenger data for all years the same. Or do the number of passengers at a given airport change for different game years?

General Chat / Map Updates?

« on: May 16, 2008, 07:11:09 pm »

Are there any updates to the route map system in the pipeline. Once airlines become larger, I feel like the current route map becomes a big red blob. It would be awesome to have a more comprehensive and easy to look at route map. Maybe one that would allow to zoom in on any area or one that has the ability to click on a city on only see the routes that arrive or depart from that airport.

General Chat / International Flights

« on: May 15, 2008, 12:17:06 am »

Recently, real airlines have been expanding their international offerings because they bring in more profit than domestic routes. I was wondering why this game seems to give no benefits to international flights, even when they are on routes without competitors. I just created a route from san francisco to tokyo and face nearly no competition, but still only reach 100% of seats sold after reducing fares to around 300 dollars (I am flying a MD-11). Has anyone paid 300 for a flight to tokyo in real life?

General Chat / New Worlds

« on: April 29, 2008, 10:45:45 pm »

Are any new worlds scheduled to be started soon? I am a member of two worlds and have enough tokens to join a third, but I worried that joining a game so late would be way too difficult.

General Chat / Aircraft Diversity

« on: April 25, 2008, 01:29:58 pm »

Is there any benefits in the game to having more of the same aircraft, instead of buying lots of different models of planes? (in terms of maintenance, etc.)

thanks.

General Chat / Loading Percentage Factors

« on: April 18, 2008, 05:35:38 pm »

I was wondering if I flew a plane with a fast speed (resulting in a short flight time) would I be able to charge more than an airline that flew a slower plane. Also, if demand has already been met for a certain route by other airlines, if I created a route that used a faster plane, would I take away more passengers from the other airlines planes also flying that route?

General Chat / Hub, Base, Focus City

« on: April 11, 2008, 05:24:53 pm »

I was wondering if there is a difference between a hub, base, or focus city in this game? I notice that all three are used in literature describing the game, but I can't see to figure out how to make a hub or a focus city.
