Bugs / Engine drop down menu in A/C buy page

« on: September 13, 2008, 05:05:32 pm »

Well this is not properly a bug, maybe a suggestion, but in a lot of cases when going to select an engine or version that name is so long that you see only the manufacturer of the engine and nothing else... e.g. on A320-200 there are a lot of entries starting with "International Aero...." or "CFM International..." and you can't see the name of the engine verion...

could it be possible to make a wider drop down menu? (seems a simpler solution instead of editing all aircraft engines names)

Thanks

Game Strategy / Passengers and hubs

OK but in that case, what are Alliances used for, if they don't give you more traffic (ie passengers)?
Are they just "no competition" alliances?

Game Strategy / Passengers and hubs

« on: July 23, 2008, 09:25:20 pm »

Reading to the forum I didn't find any "rumor" on how the "AM's code" works on this matter:

Passenger for a route are simulated on the base of passenger figures of the origin/destination  airports and seat offer-request law... that is clear and ok.

My question is:

As your hub grows, the demand on all routes connected to it increases or are stable (as far no other players enter in this route)?

you can call it "hub effect"

Question:
Is it possible to pass all routed made by a an a/c type to anoher of the same type?
Eg from a Fokker leased to another owed, without quitting all routes and opening them again?

Thanks

Yes this is what I supposed to be...

The airspace in Norway in W9 is already congested and it is not easy to make big money,
with a 23 seat (with a reduced offer) you can get hi prices, but with the F27 I've to reduce them...

Should I enter the market with bigger planes than concurency?

Game Strategy / Small planes

OK,
I'm a new started in W9 (Viking Air/VIK)... I'm surprised of the opposite, but please let me know if something wrong...
My Nord260 is flying from Oslo to small destinations quite colse (10 routes per day!) making a good (??) €160k... day profit

as I wanted to expand to a bit longer routes I leased a F27-200. This is flying 5,5 routes and bringing home €183k... day profit  
(both planes have flight time filled up!
I know that I rented less gates for those 5,5 legs... but that's all I can do it?

Next a/c I'm going to lease... well don't know if it would be better search for a N262 or a F27 or larger...?
can you suggest something?

Thanks
