I have the same issue - I thought it was a bit odd when I had Darwin to Dallas Fort Worth with a F27

Bugs / Issues with Mac's

« on: September 28, 2008, 10:10:47 am »

Hi,

I have a Mac OSX and when I try to look at certain airlines (ie Brokerage House) a black curtain falls and a message appears telling me to restart - if I am listening to music it goes all weird and I have no other option

Thanks

Very annoyed! Game ends in 2 years and I am just starting to expand dramatically. I have alliance hubs at JFK (I found a gate ), LHR, SIN, KUL, BKK, MAN, DFW, LAX, Mumbai and Dehli. I am making a DOP 10.5mill and an airline value of 670 mil. On Px numbers I would be 3rd, but at present I am 9ths. So for next game I am going to base myself at either SYD or MUC

Hi guys,

My airline is now worth 480million and I have a fleet of 86 including Convair 440's, 580's and 640's and 20 odd Fokker F27's aswell as my rental fleet of 707's and others.

Hope to close either DRW or ADL, not sure what though and then I will open a hub at PER, SYD or NAD.

I am now stoping my fast rental expansion and buying many F27-200's and expanind out of DFW, SIN, Mumbai, Dehli and Doha. This seems to be raising my DOP a little bit but also reduces the amount of fees I have to pay - as I hope to onyl have a rental fleet of VC-10's and Boeing 707's by the end of next week.

I now am ranked 9th in Australasia but 4th on Passenger numbers

I use it up as quick as I can - so for 80% of the day I have negative money (probably not the best idea but its working ok). I have a dop of 6 and a half mil and my my airline value is 130.000.000 so you have 5 times the value of my airline in cash. My not spend it? If you spend that, your DOP could increase so you have 300.000.000 a month - thats my 2 cents

Well.... I joined Bluewing alliance and now fly all over the world, I have alliance routes from Toronto, Kuala Lumpar, Mumbai, Dehli, Los Angeles and San Juan - and if there is one thing i have learnt from this time is that OOL is not profitable (only SYD is really). I have over 21,000 passengers (and am ranked 12th by value - 140,000,000) but if it was to be ranked by passenger numbers i would be 4th or 5 th

Is there anything wrong with leasing aircraft if I make them profitable? I can expand alot easier that way and I have now many VC-10, 707 and 727 aircraft on lease and all are making profit (by the way - do I multiply daily profit by 24 or 31?)??

Ive found DRW to be quite profitable actually - well compared to Launceston and OOL

Ok, so I might set up ADL after Im finished with DRW. I joined United World but what can you do? create routes out of other members bases? So I could set up a route from LHR - MUC if a person in my alliance had a hub at LHR or MUC?

Thanks

Thanks for the help... I have made a base at darwin and with 1 aircraft and with 3 flights I have managed to become more profitable then my Launceston Opps. O well Im learning as I go. Would I be best at CHC, WEL or AKL or even Guam?

Thanks

I was not thinking of trying MEL as I prefer to try the cheaper airports - but generally pull large numbers. I was thinking of establishing a base at Broome or Darwin for easy access to Asia as well as creating a base somewhere in India - is that a good idea?
