Bugs / Failed Brokerage Requests

« on: October 15, 2007, 10:14:23 pm »

I already started my own topic, but I'll put the information here also. My id is 328. I have not been able to purchase the airplane, but it is listed in my broker requests as follows:

Your Broker Requests In Progress
Airline Name          Aircraft           Quantity  Delivery Time  Due At Delivery  Markup  
Tradewind Airlines  Douglas DC-3  1            54 Days          €2,776,358         1%

Now I was able to purchase the plane. The entry from my View & Buy page is as follows:

5052  Douglas DC-3 24 0 In Service €3,966,226 €253,217 Info Scrap

If I click on Info, I can see that the plane is placed on four routes from JFK, I am assuming that Tradewinds was operating the plane. The problem is that the game won't let me close the routes, and I can not place the plane on new routes. The plane is still listed in "Your broker requests in progress" also.

I sent an ingame to Tradewind Airlines with no response so far. I would really appreciate it if a moderator could reset the plane (#5052) so I could put it into service.

same for airplane id 5600

so what should i do if i find airlines are abusing the 0.5 frequency?

Send a PM to Daniel, dktc and/or StephenM.

Remember: it's only considered route abuse if they are flying the same route with more than two 0.5 frequencies.

Everything else w/r/t 0.5 routes is legal.

I understand. Thanks for your help.

For some reason the competition information cannot be shown correctly. Is this a new policy?

Bugs / Airline Route Map

« on: August 09, 2007, 06:28:42 pm »

Makes sense to me. I will check when I have time. I checked my airline route map regularly so it must be some new routes I had created this few days. I will check them sometime later.

I don't know whether this is only my problem or not. But for some reason the airline route map cannot be shown suddenly.

General Chat / why, why, why!?!?

« on: August 09, 2007, 09:03:44 am »

One of my competitors dropped out. Therefore I own all of his routes, were I battled him alone. I fly to small airports and my airplanes do not make big amounts of money but as more you have as more money you make. I even built bases on small airports. When you make interesting routes from those small airports you can earn good money. If you can't afford big airplanes then buy more smaller ones or wait until you are fit enough to purchase the big ones! If you buy a big one new it takes much longer until the company delivers - keep that in mind. Smaller airplanes are faster in service because you don't have to wait so long!

I have withdrawn from two routes only. Just because they didn't make much money. There is one route in Europe were some guys battled over the price and the fare is 19,-€. So I looked for more interesting routes. I try to have my airplanes in the air all the time. Some of my airplanes are flying to 5 destinations, just to avoid them resting without earning. The Bombardier CRJ Planes are great to make big money by having several ones. Even the small Boeing 737 makes very good money. The ATR-72 is also not bad in producing big income. Those are very cheap airplanes, apart from the little more expensive 737. If your airplane is flying to 5 destinations and making 4 times 25k per day and another 15k per day for the 5th destination than you actually make a lot of money with one small airplane, like the Dornier 228. Don't go for the Jumbos early, stick with your small airplanes until you make enough money that you can easily go for bigger airplanes.

I started with a couple of Dornier 228 Airplanes. Sure, their old and tiny but they were available and more important they were very cheap. I still use them. I just ordered new ones to replace the Dornier's. When I ordered the replacements I had 90million left. The price is just 2million for a single Beech 1900D to replace my aging Dornier fleet.

Don't lease to much airplanes. Don't lease jumbos, just because you can fly a certain route. By used planes, you can use them right away because you don't have to wait for the delivery. Check the airplane prices if it makes sense to pay more than the new price for a used one. Sometimes its good to pay an overpriced and used airplane when you can use it right away. Sometimes you better wait for the delivery.

Look for routes were no one else is flying. Its easy to check out. Look at the Airport site of the departing airport and the arriving airport. There you can see easy if you will be the only one flying this route and if you are you can make higher prices than dealing with competetors.

Sometimes it is better to fly a route 10 times a day and sometimes 0.5 times a day. You have to try out with the prices and the amount of flights.

Don't give up your profitable routes with small airplanes just you can buy a jumbo after selling the small airplanes. They produce income while you can't play!

a very nice guide here. should put this as sticky
