General Chat / Rankings # of Players

« on: July 04, 2008, 05:12:31 pm »

In W8, at least, on the select world page, it says we have 1215 players.
However, on the rankings page, only 930 are ranked.

Could someone perhaps explain why this is occurring?

How much has your Marketing department cost you?
Mine, so far, is about 7.5 Million... The costs add up  :shock:
This is for world 8, btw, but post any world, just SPECIFY WHICH ONE.

General Chat / Profit of Certain Aircraft

« on: July 02, 2008, 07:45:52 pm »

This has happened a few times-
  I'm trying to replace my 1.5 year old Boeing 737-100, an Aircraft with 100 seats.
On a certain route, this makes me 79,600 Euros a day.

  Once I put in my Dassault Mercure, an Aircraft with 150 seats, I get just over 79,000 Euros.
Shouldn't an aircraft with 50 more seats at least get equal profit?

General Chat / No Gates Left

« on: June 25, 2008, 08:10:36 pm »

What should I do if there are no gates left in my base?
Are extra gates ever added in?

I know the obvious answer would be to build a terminal, but do remember that I'm a smaller airline (Around 7 Million DOP)
and I don't relish the idea of spending 33 Million on building a terminal. However, I would like to ask if unused gates at a terminal are flagged for unuse.

Also, 1 more thing. If I have 4 gates rented at Munich, and then I build 6 Terminals, then would I have to close my routes to return the rented gates, or would I just be able to return, meaning the system doesn't have a difference between terminal gates and rented gates.

Sorry if I don't make sense....  :oops:

General Chat / Supersonic Aircraft

Why do they have such a bad rep?
When I was going to get one, nwadeltaboy (aka Natey) went beserk on me, claiming that they suck and are a waste of money.
Are they really that bad?

General Chat / Too many planes?

« on: June 23, 2008, 05:22:47 pm »

Have any of you order a lot of planes, to find that later on you were too lazy to make the routes?
This happens to me a lot, typically I don't make routes for planes 2-3 (game) months after they're built.
Right not I have around 15 Boeing 737s sitting around with 24 hours left

Any of you?

General Chat / Poll: Obsessed with Airplanes?

« on: June 04, 2008, 02:23:51 am »

How many of you, for lack of a better term, are obsessed with airplanes? I know obsessed isn't the right term, I just can't think of anything else.
Actually, I'm more interested in the very small (if any) percentage of people that aren't (like me)
I, before I came here, didn't know any planes besides a 747  :oops:

lol, right now it's 100% No. Lets see how fast that changes.

Why do so many people, when you look at the rankings, have loadfactors and values of 0?

General Chat / Why am I not able to create a route?

« on: May 30, 2008, 01:06:15 am »

I researched the route beforehand, and it's in the range of the plane I want to use.
Said plane has a good 16 hours left, so that's not a problem.

However, when I go to pick the plane to put on the route, I have no options. Anyone know why or what's happening?
If you need any more info, post.

General Chat / New v. Used Aircraft

« on: May 28, 2008, 08:38:55 pm »

Is there any difference as to the capacities a new aircraft from the manufacturers versus buying them on the market?
I was just wondering if buying a used aircraft would have lower profits compared to using a new one.
And what are Cycles/Airframes?
