Game Strategy / Re: Buying airlines?

« on: February 28, 2012, 05:15:19 pm »

As OO-SCZ said its due to the fact we only allow one airline per ID in the game. Everything is tied back to your unique user ID so it makes it nearly impossible to change that.

Game Data / Re: Union of Burma, plus Kawthuong Airport

Hi Anthony,

We used a stock pack of country flags so unless one of our graphics guys want to have a go at creating a minature flag the best solution is to just remove the existing one in-game. The pack we use is not currently maintained.

The particular airport you refer to may be using some special character resulting in the sort becoming out of alignment, rather than a normal letter that gets sorted normally. We will take a look soon.

General Chat / Re: Question on the Revenue Model

« on: February 23, 2012, 04:25:25 am »

If the admins fixed this one problem, I think the game would be revitalized.

There are a number of those items kicking around the game that need to be changed. In terms of changing the revenue/economics side it could only work as a "go-forward" fix, since it would have such a drastic impact on existing games we would annoy more people than we would please. Let me read through what you have posted in better detail tomorrow and I will try and reply then.

Bugs / Re: [NaB] Wrong Image Showing Up

« on: February 20, 2012, 08:23:47 pm »

Ah ok. That must be my laptop acting up lately. Thanks a lot though, MrOrange -- I saw my new image on the world.

The way we save images, your browser just assumes it hasn't changed and displays the old one. We save images using common file names as it saves some space on the server as people change their logos and we don't remove the old one, we just over-write it.

Suggestions / Re: More 'New Forum Posts' on the world home page

« on: February 14, 2012, 05:58:44 pm »

Hi!

In the worlds with many players, the in-game forum gets used a lot. As it isn't possible to see if there are new posts in a thread like in a normal forum, I use the index page to see what new posts there are in the forum. But it only shows the three newest posts, leaving many more posts unseen. I really like reading the airline news threads, when new posts arrive I like to just take a pause and read the new post.
I think adding a couple more posts on the index page will improve the in-game forum.

I definitely agree with you and it should be an easy fix. When Rens (MrOrange) originally set out to build it we discussed how to make a new posts system but didn't quite get the logic of it, so that's why we have the three newest posts appear. As an term measure I could increase it to 5/7/10, limited to one post per thread or all posts or allow a user preference. I'll think about the user preference end a bit more but hopefully will get a chance to do a quick fix.

I will be patching up access to hotswap early next week so enjoy it while it lasts Matias.

And I have an idea how to resolve Ali's reported issue. Once we are happy with it further details will be released.

Exclusively in W2195? That screenshot is from W2169?

May be I missed something when I stuck it in.   You should only see it appear after you log into W2195.

General Chat / Re: Is this hotswap?

« on: February 01, 2012, 06:34:06 pm »

That is the first stage of hotswap yes. Available exclusively in W2195. When we are happy with it we will make it available in all worlds.

Game News / Re: Scenario World #1 Deregulation

« on: January 31, 2012, 10:43:56 pm »

But the point is that ORD is airport for flag carriers and not for regional airline. Another flag carriers will make hub there too and there will be firce competiton.   That was my reason to take Detroit.

Well regional carriers start off with a lot of aircraft, much more than the flag carriers have. We do need to work on balancing worlds a bit more when we launch the next scenario, but we will have more time to prepare for it. I will be sure to ask for your opinion when we do!

On a side note, the world is now available to login to. The game will begin in just under 24 hours.

Game Data / Re: Cargo planes

« on: January 31, 2012, 08:40:36 pm »

Yeah, but in the game too?

No, since we don't have range/payload charts for aircraft. It would mean we would apply a load factor cap for a route which some users may find unfair. If its setup correctly it could work nicely.

Game Data / Re: Cargo planes

« on: January 31, 2012, 07:14:54 pm »

So what you say is that the capacity of the plane is dependant of the length of the route?

That is how it is in real life alright.
