Bugs / 0% Load factors

« on: June 01, 2010, 11:54:04 pm »

My ID is 35061 in World 1467

A bunch of my  load factors from CDG just dropped to 0%.... What's up? It doesn't look like anything changed and just editing the routes and updating them takes them back to 100%

Can you put them back please? Thanks!

rent a gate at all the London airports and setup routes to each of them. You can go up to 2 freq for these to utilize your plane and generate more revenue but not more than 2... start expanding outwards from london when you have the money-drop the freqs back to 1 as soon as you can (keeping your plane busy)... Lease aircraft to get you more and more revenue... Remember-at the beginning-the capacity of the planes is so small that you really don't need to go to the big airports yet. Go to the mid sized airports to save $$ so you can fly to more routes.

And welcome-soon you will be as addicted as the rest of us I'm sure!

I've been playing for months and only just now realized that changing the engines when you order changes the fuel burn...

ok, so just one player gets the benefit of leasing aircraft? I find it odd that there is just one leased in plane among the top 25 players in this world... there are no other planes for lease... is this a healthy market? I'm just asking here.. I don't mean to imply anything. But it does seem odd...

In world 1424 there is one player that is using leased in aircraft... and, that one player is also a known broker? How is this fair???

With the bigger airlines I only change routes below 90%. The smaller ones I keep it 98 or above.

I can't find the post... I thought for sure it came up when I searched for 'retained earnings' but it's not coming up. Perhaps it was returned when I searched for something else this morning related to moving from one world to another.

So, what we have is that when a world starts all players in that world, on day 1, start with exactly the same assets (as dictated by the world parameters)?

It is not possible to transfer funds between worlds, and we have no immediate plans to change this.

Hmm.. perhaps I didn't ask the question correctly. I saw a previous post that mentioned using retained earnings to fund a startup airline. This was given as the way that some people begin a new public world with a lot of a/c and routes. Perhaps I misunderstood?

So how are your retained earnings from world one used to finance your airline in world 2?

I'm just playing to have a good time.

Can someone explain to me what a .5 freq is? I read somewhere that it is a one-way flight but does that mean that the plane flies back to your hub empty or is it just less freq to increase demand?

Is there any way to see if your on-board services are profitable or not?

Thanks for your help!

132,294 with my first aircraft in my first world. The EMB 110-P1.

I'm pretty stoked that I'm making a profit and have my 2nd plane on order after just 1 month of operation.
