General Chat / Regarding Lease

« on: September 20, 2009, 08:03:23 pm »

I leased out a plane the other day for 999 months.

I guess the rules have changed, before people used to put in any random number of months and you could cancel at any time (both parties). Have the rules changed so that I now have to let the alliance have the plane for 999 months?

If not, how can I cancel?

Thanks!

Game Strategy / Best Countries to Base In

« on: January 18, 2009, 06:37:56 pm »

Found this really cool site, it's about the world's militaries, but they have a great page on airports.

Really good resource if you want to find a good untapped market to base in and compare markets.

General Chat / Alliance Routes

« on: November 29, 2008, 06:23:17 pm »

Hey,

How do I create alliance routes? I've bought a gate at one of the alliance member's hubs, I've bought a gate at another nearby airport, but yet nothing shows up on the create route or gate search menu for alliance bases.

I've also made sure that the hub that I've chosen does not have the maximum flights used up.

Any idea?

I'm in world 82, Sky Team alliance.

Bugs / [NAB] Distance Calculation

« on: November 22, 2008, 11:41:04 pm »

There is one thing I do not get about the calculations. I use a spreadsheet and stuff to manage my airline, and the current formula I have is as follows:

(((Hours - .5) - TurnTime) * Speed) / 2 = Max Distance

The point 5 is because I heard AM rounds up, so the distance that appears should be a reliable distance every single time. However, this doesn't seem to be working, because I keep getting 0.5 frequencies instead of 1. For example, my Junkers Ju90 has a speed of 190 and a turn time of 0.23. I have 10 hours left on it.

(((10 - .5) - 0.23) * 190) / 2 = 880.65

However, when I go to create a route 880 nm from Beijing (Ex. Heihe (874 NM)), it says 0.5 frequency instead of 1. Can anyone tell me why, and if I'm missing something?

Thanks!

Game Data / India Airports Update

« on: November 09, 2008, 04:29:09 pm »

Sigh...I hate when you type out a long post and lose it...So here a condensed version.

This is an update of all Indian airports. It was provided by the dgca (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) of India. Click here to download the complete file on airport statistics. This file was discovered through this page. The file's pretty huge, but if you extract the  "CHAP5_06-06" folder, and open up "5.1.pdf", you'll see all the information.

If you don't want to download and extract and all that stuff, I've uploaded the file to my server here.

I've also compiled all the data into an excel file with the totals.

Excel 2007 File
Excel 97-2003 File

Cheers! I hope you'll implement this data, because I spent a long time working on it.

General Chat / CyberNations & Trucks

« on: July 01, 2008, 06:35:40 am »

Does anyone play these 2 games. As far as I know, they are awesome, especially the first one.

CyberNations - A nation simulation game. You make your own nation, choose how it's run, choose if you're going to go economic development route or war development route. Join an alliance (which is like a group of people with similar ideals), go to war against other alliances, help allies, etc.

http://www.cybernations.net

Trukz - Trucking Simulator Game. You drive a truck around Europe/North America, making money, buying better trucks, and therefore making more money. Join a company and work together to make more money, follow contracts, talk with fellow employees, start your own companies, etc.

http://www.trukz.net

Both run and owned by the same guy, so many people who play one will play the other.

General Chat / Question About Leases

« on: February 10, 2008, 06:33:41 am »

Hey,

I have a question about leases. It may seem pretty basic, but it has me confused.

When I took out a lease on my plane, the cost for 80,000 for a period of 999 months (~800 days). Now the problem is that when I go to my finance screen, it says I have to pay 80,000 for my lease monthly (30-40 game days). I don't understand the logic in that.

Thanks!
