I say extend the round by two more years. I don't see a point in having a 2 year round since it won't give any airlines outside of CDG/ORD/HKG/MCO/PHX/FRA/ect. a chance to grow effectivly, even if a few of the big airport airlines in the top 20 say they get bored after the 2nd year.

totally agreed.

Those bugs are not small....

Create focus city is not working
editing route is bugged
create alliance would result in CEO not being in the alliance~
Token still isn't working
.. and god knows what else is bugged~

In this case then, if there are, still, huge bugs to fix, I think we could, also, go for a 5 years round and give the staff more time to work patiently.

those are the most wise options.

Well, I am located in CENTRAL America. Additionally I wrote MAJOR airports and I was talking about London, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, Tokyo, Atlanta, O'Hare, etc. I did not say avoid creating bases in those regions at all.

Anyway, I am No.1 in Central America and No.49 in total and this is the second round I play this game here. So I think I did not do to much wrong. :wink: Last round I started late in Hannover and I learned a lot from that "little" airport. I could even enter the top 100 in the last days.

"Well", I am located in SOUTH AMERICA. what I'm saying is: He should avoid ANY major airport in S. Americat too. Actually, ANY major airport of ANY continent.

Anyway, I am No.1 in Central America and No.49 in total and this is the second round I play this game here. So I think I did not do to much wrong. :wink: Last round I started late in Hannover and I learned a lot from that "little" airport. I could even enter the top 100 in the last days.

I didn't say you were doing anything wrong. In fact, you must be doing good, since Central America have a small pax number. Congrats.

If you are a beginner do NOT start your business at the major airports in Europe, North America or Asia.

I don't know why you guys think South America is that piece of cake. I don't know about N. America and Europe, but on Competitors/Passegner proportion, South America is harder than Asia, for sure. Lots of brazilians playing this game.

General Chat / Maintenance costs

« on: January 19, 2008, 12:49:02 pm »

Maintenance based on your aircraft value. It is next to nothing, ).

so how come my maintenance cost are much higher that for example my monthly gate rental cost?

same question here: Maintenance Fees (Monthly): €62,044,459.

This is happening in South America too. 1 euro pricing war in São Paulo/Congonhas and São Paulo/Guarulhos  is, already, way too annoying.

Bugs / Re: Load factor is dropping way too fast!!

« on: January 04, 2008, 05:41:31 pm »

I don't know, it might just be an impression, but since the bug was fixed prices seem to decrease quite fast...

Sorry to bring that up again  

I have this impression too.

I ve also just noticed another thing : I have just created some new routes with a new plane. five min after i checked again the load factor, it was still 100%. However I tried for fun to update the route. with the same price the LF decreased to 98%. So i didn't change anything, but it's weird that a price that gave me 100% then gives me 98% 5 min after whereas no other competition has shown

same here

Bugs / Route / LF

« on: December 30, 2007, 07:31:09 pm »

it happens to me too. Maybe I'm the way too wrong but I think it works like this: There is something like an imediate potential passengers number (not like the total potential that you see when you first open the route), that gets bigger, as much (in some proportion) as the offer. For example, in a route with 1.500 potential passengers, when you start that route, against another airline (assuming that both are using a beech99), you are not competing for 1500 passengers, you're in a competition for something like 23~28 passengers, because otherwise, even in a competition involving 10 airlines for that route, using a beech99, it would not affect your loadfactor at all.

so, I guess it happens when there isnt a strong competition yet, and someone opens the same route as mine, the number of passenger for that route increases, as a whole (looking the competition information, I notice that), and that potential, somehow, increases beyond the capacity of the plane put by the opponent airline, then there are some passenger, say, "left behind", that my airline can take advantage of.

well.. thats all a non empirical thesis. a big guess. don't mind if it is wrong

Bugs / Campinas/S.America Missing

« on: December 29, 2007, 04:25:08 pm »

since when? it wasn't last round, since both were on the list. I'm pretty sure, last round it was right there: Campinas. and it was a pretty good airport, about 900.000 pax.

General Chat / game question

My understanding from another thread is, Stephen set it to pause for 48 hours.  I have not seen my airline value increase at the latest hour.

yea, me neither. I guess it is paused, now.

General Chat / any idea of when the games going to be back up?

« on: December 24, 2007, 02:37:34 pm »

i see so i will have loads of money to spend when i get back in but for those that had their planes erased they wont. Bit unfair even though i am not one included in the cash loss. Probably would be fairer to pause it.

totally agreed
