Most recent could work, or perhaps sort descending by route distance if that's an option? Shorter routes just appear as a mass of red on airlines that are of the size that will be affected by this, so they're probably more interested in seeing the longer-range routes to show the reach of their network rather than its local intensity around hubs.

When I say "they" I am of course just extending my own opinions onto others

General Chat / GCM Question

« on: November 09, 2014, 10:35:06 pm »

In PW #2903 I have a large airline with 2247 routes and counting. For a while the map stopped showing on my View Airline screen, which I assumed was because there were simply too many routes for it to cope. However, the map has now re-appeared, but with the networks from some hubs gone:

Again, I assume this has something to do with the sheer number of routes, but my question is whether anyone knows why it has chosen some hubs but ignored others?

It can't be alphabetical bias, as it is ignoring airports at either end of the alphabet whether you use the ICAO or IATA code. It's not to do with the order in which I opened them, as it has dropped all of the Australian routes which were opened before the Asian ones that are showing. It's showing Asian routes as I open them, but is ignoring the ones I'm setting up in Johannesburg. Even within continents, it has chosen to drop a load of routes out of the Hawaiian airports, but is showing some of the ones in Alaska that I set up more recently.

The routes all show when you go to the map for the individual hub airports, so it seems to be just this big whole-airline one that is behaving strangely.

Any ideas?

Minor, minor, minor issue, but the logos in Fleet Management are not uploading. A red box comes up that says "File number 1 could not be moved"

I deleted all my logos when the game got back up and running, as they weren't displaying and as such I couldn't see what the fleet names were.

Suggestions / Re: Founder of an Alliance should be able remove memebers

« on: October 21, 2014, 05:45:35 pm »

I don't know how difficult it would be to do with the code, would it be possible to change the rout limiting system from 5-25 total alliance flights at one base to say, 5-10 flights per airline?  So that way, each airline has a chance to operate from an alliance base and one airline can't control all of the alliance routes.  That seems to be a problem especially when small airlines join large alliances late in the game, there are usually few open alliance route possibilities.  This would also prevent airlines from spamming alliance bases.   

I like this idea, if it could be done. I think use of alliance bases should really be to enable you to reach new destinations through 1-stop services, or maximise utilisation of your aircraft when it can't be done from your own bases. Limiting the number of flights to 'per airline' gives everyone in the alliance the chance to make use of each others' hubs for this purpose, and makes the alliance more attractive to join for newer members even when it is already quite large. Plus it deals with the spamming.

Bugs / Er, what just happened to my loadfactors?

« on: September 23, 2014, 05:59:01 pm »

I'm playing in Private World 2903 'Reality', airline ID 8330.

I stepped away for 20 mins or so, and when I came back my average loadfactor had dropped from 100% to 92.9%. Having selected 'All under 100%' in the View Routes, I saw the following:


Having clicked into a couple of these routes, nothing has changed. I am the lowest-priced airline and yet I've dropped to 0% for some reason.

I presume that just editing each route and updating it with the current fare will sort this out, but this is a major bug.

I've had an aircraft go into negative hours (well, -0.01 anyway) this evening, and I don't even know why. I shifted a 1.0 route to a different plane so that I could turn a longer route being done by the original aircraft from 0.5 to 1.0. It did this fine, but now the hours have gone negative. I don't think they should have done, unless my calculations beforehand were wrong.

Private World Discussion & Invitation / [PW #2803] Flag Carriers - Have A Real World Experience

« on: February 12, 2014, 07:40:28 pm »

I have started a private world where players can try to emulate national flag carriers.

You can only base yourself in one country*, so alliances will be more important than ever if you want to establish networks further afield.

So far we have airlines based in Germany, Russia, India and France (plus one in Finland, apparently, but the player has yet to add any routes).

Why not come on by and have a go?

NOTE: * I will accept sensible groupings of smaller countries based on real-world precedents (Denmark/Norway/Sweden, Bahrain/UAE, or perhaps the Benelux countries).

• PW #2803 - Flag Carriers
• 2008-2013
• 4.5 years left
• 100 players max, with 5 currently registered
• Start with 2 x Airbus A319 and €2,000,000
• 4 gates max, 0 outside of your continent (and your country!)
• No password
• Full world

The hub limits are 5, but as this is a situation where you are expected to build a national carrier, no foreign bases are allowed.  Indeed, hubs are all expected to be within one country, unless you are starting out from a small country where there is a logical reason (or real-world precedent) for crossing borders. So, I would allow some grouping in Central America or the Caribbean, in Europe the Benelux or Scandinavian countries, in the Middle East perhaps some replica of the old Gulf Air etc. Best to check with me if unsure.

The starting aircraft are 4 x B717-200HGWs, the cash is €2,000,000, and you'll get 2 gates at your chosen base airport.

As for Scandinavia, the world's second largest airline happens to be playing that front, based out of Oslo and Stockholm, but I'm sure there's room for some competition if you feel up to it :-)

Failing that, how about a Qualifyer-esque Swiss-Austrian link-up?

Thanks to cloudscraper for flagging up (boom boom) this world while my internet connection was down.

This world offers you the opportunity to have a go at building up a national carrier. It's all about developing a route network from hubs positioned close together, and then using alliances to go further afield if you want.

We've got some airlines going at the typical big hubs in America, my own is developing nicely out of Germany, there's carriers springing up in parts of Asia and elsewhere in Europe, but most of the world is still up for grabs.

Fancy setting up Transport d'Avions de France? Or Air South Africa? AeroBrasil? Mexican Airlines? Kangaroo Airways? There's hubs a-plenty to try out, and if you want to ask me first whether a country is taken yet then please just drop me a line.

Looking forward to welcoming you to the world, flag-carrying and all.
