Is using route editing scripts in AM illegal, or just highly frowned upon?
-
I don't think it's illegal, but it's definitely frowned upon because it gives you an unfair advantage over other players
-
Its not in the rules, but doesn't mean we will prevent their use when we find a way.

He means "doesn't mean we won't" ;)

Do you have such a thing?

Do you have such a thing?
Obviously one will never admit to having one, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a few people do use one.
Anyone with basic programming knowledge could easily whip something up.

the thing i always think is how? cause its not fixed on one computer but its online and the thought of something automatically changing a price in AM over the internet which is quiet scary to me, not cause its not possible but cause a simple script can change everything automatically and thats without hacking into the server :D
-
Its quite easy to set them up. I was shown how to for another game. Yet any reports of these being created were not found to be taking place on a uniform basis with "round" times.
-
Obviously I wouldn't admit if I was using one, no :D
I have a mate at school who's really clever with computers that I was thinking of asking him to have a look at making a script, as I simply don't have time to edit routes for 30 mins a day, but I desperately want to play AM. I probably won't until my airline gets quite a bit bigger, if at all.

Are you studying for NCEA exams?
I've got mock-exams for them starting this Friday...

Not yet, no. Our mocks start as soon as we get back from holidays in term 4. Most people think that's good, but it's straight after we get back from a week in Fiji, so I won't have done any study :lol:
-
To be honest if i did have one i would say i did, but then if the rules changed i would take it away- wouldn't i?

so you like playing AM but you dont like editing routes? then whats the point of playing? just to order planes and see them in your fleet? :roll:

And creating new routes, yeah. Editing routes is hardly fun...

Repedatley clicking on something that requires no thought or strategy is not fun in my book. ;D
-
there really is no strategy in route editing anyway.
People find what the nearest competitor has in same aircraft and beat them by $1. How is that strategy. If only the game was able to restrict people to maximum route edits per day, or a certain percentage of difference between other competitors.
-
I've just given up editing routes and only edit my long haul and if my flights go below 50% load factor.
It amazes me how people can say route editing is a fun part of the game. :roll:
-
I'm still waiting on some final feedback from the beta testers in hopes that the bugs are wrung out of the mass edit script. this should hopefully help reduce some of the difficulty in managing the masses of routes.

but how will that help on editing unique routes where some of the LF's are 60-30%? thats what i've always thought of - you edit all the routes but still loose out on the routes which have 100% LF and have a profit for eg of 50k
-
I'm guessing you'll be able to tick which routes you want to edit and choose how much you want to reduce price by (in %)?

no its all of them together
-

Yes you tick what routes you want to edit, but all of those ticked routes are edited by a single percentage. So you can just uncheck the ones you don't want to be edited by that %.

That's what I meant. Sounds good.
