Bugs / Submit airport not working

« on: April 06, 2008, 06:10:38 am »

When I entered all the data into the form and clicked submit, it said "You forgot to select a continent." "You forgot to select the country." But I had selected "Asia" and "Kazakhstan".

General Chat / brokering aircraft

« on: October 30, 2007, 09:33:07 am »

I requested two aircraft a few months (game time) ago, so how do I pick them up? Do I go to the "buy aircraft" page and buy the planes? The message I received doesn't say what the plane ID's are, and the price that it's listed for is way off the list price. What's going on and how can I pick up the plane?

how come airlines in Europe can earn so much more profit than those on, say, Africa? I'm hearing about all these Martin 4-0-4's and the like getting 500K a day. I'm based in Jo'burg - why can't I even get close to it? Is it because of demand or something?

Just some background info:

General Chat / Most bought aircraft

« on: October 25, 2007, 09:55:20 am »

Must be the faster cruise speed of the Martin 4-0-4. Most new founded airlines don't need extra range, but more speed, espacially in Europe. So they can fly short routes, but more frequencies.

Connie also has more speed than RV6. But would you prefer +60 seats or a faster speed?

obviously more speed, because it won't really make much difference - you will have better seat/mile cost but then since you have more seats you will have to lower your fares to accommodate the higher capacity, so Connie would be much better than RV6. specially that it will help you compete on long haul

General Chat / Comet

« on: October 25, 2007, 09:52:14 am »

I'm curious about the comet's performance... it has about 2 1/2 times better fuel economy than the Avro Jetliner (587 or so vs. 1581), but it's 110 mph slower. It also costs 18 mil compared to 34 mil for a Jetliner. Something's fishy - why is it like that?

General Chat / Lacking substance?

lower profit - airlines are earning way too much, it's just unrealistic. It would be IMPOSSIBLE in the real world

General Chat / maintenance & crew costs

« on: October 01, 2007, 12:56:01 pm »

They weren't added yet.. but someone suggested that earlier... it would add more costs but would help defeat 1 euro airlines lol.. (It's on their list i think cause i saw another thread)

help defeat 1 euro airlines? how does that work?

General Chat / maintenance & crew costs

« on: October 01, 2007, 12:42:12 pm »

do they take your fleet complexity when they take into account maintenance and crew costs? Because you need to spend more on spares and pilot training, so does it actually matter?

General Chat / Discussion: Next Round of AM

« on: September 27, 2007, 09:35:55 am »

So in 2008 (real time) as well
I might not get the honour
to serve my guests in
30 Year-Old 727's ?!?
That's not realistic!

Well my 707 and 727 had been taken back 2 years ago...
I think in this game we sometimes play realistically sometimes not
We have to get used to this

what? but this round is 2000-07 right? and this page http://208.68.236.98/airlinemogul/view_all_aircraft.php says the 707 was phased out in 1977, and the 727 in 1987, so how could you have gotten them? You're not allowed to keep aircraft from the previous era are you?

General Chat / what type of planes?

« on: September 23, 2007, 10:58:29 am »

what aircraft are we gonna be flying in the next round? Considering this is 1960-70 is it gonna be some old props like DC-6s and DC-7's mixed with newer jets like the 707, DC-8, Convair 880 and Comet?

General Chat / starting aircraft after restart?

« on: September 23, 2007, 05:58:38 am »

You know how the standard startup aircraft right now is an ATR-72 right? Well in 1970 there was no such plane, so what plane will be the startup plane when the game gets restarted?

Game Data / "Gates built"

« on: September 14, 2007, 11:11:26 am »

On the "view gates" page, there's a column that says "gates built". I've just joined an alliance, so I dunno if it has something to do with it, but why is it saying that? I can't find a page anywhere on AM that allows airlines to build gates at airports. What's it about?
