I am researching in routes departing from Karachi (KHI), some of them appear to have 0nm distance. For examples, routes to Jeddah, Riyadh, Doha, Dubai, Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai.

General Chat / observations and thoughts about 1950 round

« on: October 21, 2007, 07:30:33 pm »

As the performance of the planes are so limited, picking the right airport to base at is even more important this round. For me, I have underestimated the effect of the performance of the plane, and pick a rather non-ideal starting base. But I am still satisfy.

For all those that are complaining, I guess one of the major problem that they may have is that they can't adapt to the old planes and new rules in the round. But that's the beauty of this game. There are so many variable in the game, you got a chance to due with a real people, not a dumb computer AI . If you just want to do the same things over and over again, and get the same result every time, this is not the game for you.

I guess the leasing rules is good for stopping the cheaters, as well as slowing the game down as well. So late comer can still have a chance to fight up the ranking.

At the moment I am enjoying my second round a lot, and hoping to see a great round to be unfolded.

General Chat / New comer advantage on a route

« on: October 14, 2007, 05:31:03 pm »

This issue was raised in the previous round. Whenever a new competitor enter a route, even though the new competitor set the route to the exact same price and frequency, the existing airline will always suffer a drop in the load factor, and the new comer can walk away with 100% load factor. And that result in endless price cut. Has the load factor algorithm been altered for addressing that? Cause I already see this happening all over again. I got to say the situation is better than last round. But I am just wondering whether it is because it is still the beginning of the round or the changes in the algorithm is working?

Bugs / This is about geography

« on: August 15, 2007, 12:50:30 am »

Alright, in that case, may I suggest an update in the game's manual regarding to creating a base. Because I just found it misleading since it says: "you have to make sure that the airport you want to serve is on the same continent as where you started the game." But Asia is in fact split  into "Middle East" and "The rest of Asia" in the game.

This may sound silly, but, is Saudi Arabia considered to be Asia?

I started in the Far East Asia, and tried creating a base in Saudi Arabia yesterday, but failed to do so. I am just guessing that I have just failed another geography test.   :oops:

General Chat / The Use of 0.5 Frequency "Cheat"

« on: August 06, 2007, 06:47:05 pm »

That's true, it will be a much simpler fixed by limiting the number of 0.5 flight per plane and per route.

General Chat / The Use of 0.5 Frequency "Cheat"

« on: August 06, 2007, 06:09:41 pm »

I guess anyone who want to do this honestly should limit the number of 0.5 flight to 2 per plane, the theoretical limit. In the future, a weekly base scheduling system for each plane can be used, kind of like a TV schedule. That can make sure the people people schedule their flights with consideration of time and location of the planes. But that may require a lot more effort from the developers, who develop a more complicated system, and the players, who need to spend more time to schedule the flights.
