Title: Effects of time
Post by: cowpatz on January 01, 2008, 09:06:35 pm
Just wondering what effects the passage of time has on the game so that I can plan for it. Does it have any effect on: 1. The fare price that can be charged Ie. inflation and still maintain load factors. 2. Gate rental. 3. I assume as new aircraft types come into existance that the price is set accordingly. 4. Any other effects?
Cheers

1. inflation no, but competition tends to creep in more when time passes [as they get the money to buy the planes to do so] 2. no, except players renting them up. 3. aircraft come in on the 1st of the year, and are phased out at the same time. [for when a plane is phased out, see the withdrawn information]. 4. not exceptionally, there's a weak base demand mod new this age that's based on the game year [demand slightly increments up from year to year]. also, fuel prices change on the year change, but... they seem to be a little low at the moment. definitely need to reevaluate/update the fuel usage formulas.
