[=] Suggestions / Suggestion: select wich aircraft will be available in a private world

« on: October 23, 2010, 04:34:18 pm »

Right now, you can only choose wether you want to include the business jets in your world or not. I'm thinking this feature could be expanded. Maybe with checkmarks so you can check and uncheck aircraft as you please. So that way you can exclude aircraft from the game that you do not want to exist. This can vary from one or two types that are not available to worlds where only one type of aircraft is available.

Game Data / Duplicate airport entry

« on: October 20, 2010, 08:32:06 pm »

I just found out that one airport is noted twice in the database. ETUL Weeze and EDLV Niederrhein are actually the same airport, only ETUL is the old code from the times when it was still a military base. The military base is closed and right now the airport is in use as a civil airport with icao-code EDLV. So I think ETUL should be removed from the database.

Game Strategy / Re: changing aircrafts

« on: August 08, 2010, 03:03:07 pm »

If you were to then sell the plane at 50% off when it turned 3-years-old, you could end up with a pretty significant overall loss (which would affect your airline value).

But who wants to buy a plane that is 3 years old (or at whatever age you sell it) that clearly has had it's most profitable days? Then maybe you want to concider not to sell it but to keep flying the plane. That way the maintainance expenses may be higher, but you don't have to spend money on a replacement aircraft. In real life, planes usually have a pretty long lifetime. Here in the game the lifetime is practically endless, but at some point the maintainance expenses are so much they outrage the aircraft income. That would be the moment to scrap the aircraft and replace it with a newer one, but planes can stay profitable for a whole while.

Game Strategy / Re: Airbus vs. Boeing

I'm using a mixture of everything. Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell-Douglas, Fokker, I even got some Tupolevs in my fleet. Just what aircraft is best suitable for a route or a number of routes.

Game Data / correct format for latitude/longitude

« on: July 26, 2010, 05:51:53 pm »

When I try to make a request for an airport on http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/submit_airport.php I always get an error about the latitude/longitude. It says it's not in the correct format. Now my question is, what is the correct format? I've tried several formats, but none of them seem to work. If I enter those formats in Google Earth for example, it works with no problem. But Airline Mogul doesnt take it.

Bugs / Close all routes

« on: July 26, 2010, 06:19:03 am »

I just figured out that when you are on the aircraft summary page and you click "Close all routes" the aircraft cycles and airframe hours are being reset to 0. The value of the aircraft is not being reset, but it looks like it has never flown. When you close the routes manually one by one the cycles and airframe hours are not being reset.
