Bugs / Re: [NAB] MAP IRREGULARITY

« on: May 14, 2010, 06:01:08 am »

This is rather annoying, and I'm considering returning my Cuatro Vientos gate simply because it ruins my route map.

I have confirmed that the great circle mapper correctly renders the route if the ICAO (LECU) is used instead of IATA (MCV). Using the ICAO also solves the problem with Liberal Mid-America Regional and Harbor Springs Municipal airports.

Changing all route plotting to ICAO would be troublesome, but could you make an exception for this three airports?

Bugs / Re: Route number error

Happened the same to me, but apparently only for my first few flights. Oddly enough, while the flight number displayed is some random # (not the one I inserted), if I try to create another flight with that number, I get an error saying the flight number is in use.

Bugs / [fixed]Burgos airport missing ICAO

The spanish airport of Burgos is missing the ICAO, it currently reads: "Burgos Airport [RGS/]", with nothing where LEBG should be.

Game Strategy / Re: What's the strategy for meal pricing?

Is there a way to cut back on Misc Expenses? Because right now, it's soaring high. I pay in excess of €5.000.000, while my misc revenues stand at a lowly €570.344. I pay almost as much misc expenses as I do for gate fees!  (around 8M€)

That's got to be some premium peanuts...

Really? 
Well, I am based of a large airport (~50M pax), so I'll give it a try. I guess it can't hurt...

Thanks for the reply.

Game Strategy / How profitable are small airports?

« on: May 06, 2010, 01:07:09 pm »

Hi all! This has probably been asked before, but after searching around I didn't find anything, so I'm asking it here.

I'm a newbie, but it didn't take long to realize that short routes are usually more profitable than longer ones. It did take some money though, because looking back I made some poor gate investments. 

Regarding my question (as I'd prefer not learning the hard way), just how profitable are small airports? Or rather, how big must an airport be for it to be profitable? I've been skipping pretty much everything below 1M passengers, but I'd like to tap into those. I'm not really confident I should fly to an airport with, say, 300 passengers. Or should I?

Thanks for your tips!
