[++] Suggestions / Create route request - uncouple from view routes

« on: September 02, 2010, 02:56:03 am »

I searched but couldn't find this so if it has been asked before i apologize...

Could the "route created" screen be removed from "view routes". The reason is for large airlines it really bogs the browser down to start loading view all routes.

could we just get a simple page with the "route created successfully" box, like gate rental does?

Thanks...

perhaps the better question to answer here is what capacity to use pending multi-class...

in my opinion the easiest to use is the certification maximum capacity. For example on the Dc-10-10/30/40 thats 380 seats, I checked that in both JAWA 74-75 and a MCDD DC-10 specs card i have. I'm sure it's possible to check certifications online somewhere too.

Most of the commuter class aircraft are already set to that capacity.

But the jetliners in many cases are totally out of whack... so... I think ill pull a good list of capacities from my JAWAs and send it in... if you choose not to use it well... *shrug*

Daniel,

1st let me say that i do understand the issue... and now that i have the full story, apology accepted.

It doesn't change my feelings much however, I may come back after the reset at some point. The problem is, i think this game is, truthfully, an addiction for me. I have to come to terms with my real life before i come back. I'll see how my mindset is after the holidays. I actually didn't realize how much time i was spending on here until i looked at it today... the answer is 4-5 hours a day in the last 3 weeks. Far too much.

I think i was more than a little over upset about nothing when i started this thread, but i do stand behind my postings. I hope everyone realizes i was playing the game the way i thought it should be played. I have nothing against any other player, and i hope that everyone reciprocates that feeling.

Anyways, ill hang around the forums for now...

don't u know i am one of the first to start the 72.5 frequency route with an avro tudor.....

anyway....i am very glad that you are forced out of the game.....

personally...i really believe that you can earn the same amount of money with 0.5 $800 route rather than 5.0 $80 route :!:

i bet you just wanna be the one with the most passengers.....

in fact...the only way to be the top is to increase the no. of destinations but not frequency!!

Well... i wanted to be biggest period, and i was adding destinations with the 1049G all over the place. And I WAS the biggest pax hauler for awhile... oh well...

This is fun! Everyone should have a roast thread!

"]

Yet you started and built up charging those same high fares everyone else is. It's one thing to do that from day 1. It's another to build up that way and then suddenly dump capacity all over the place. Do that with your first DC3 from day 1 and I'll buy it. Otherwise you're acting as a spoiler, nothing more. Perhaps you enjoy that... but I also bet you'd be screaming the loudest once someone came along and did it to you.

People HAVE done it to me, MANY times. Have you heard one peep from me about it??? Nope, because:
That's competition
Someone jumps on the route at $1, again I'm not gonna complain about it, because:
That's competition
They'll regret doing it when i counter them, but no, I don't moan about it, that IS competition, and that, last time i checked, is what this game was about in the end. EuroPacific and I but heads on way too many high frequency $1 routes i admit, but neither of us is gonna back down. Why? you guessed it:
THAT'S COMPETITION!

As soon as the 10x cap was removed, i was running high-frequency flights also. BOS-LGA was one of the 1st. And i wasn't even the 1st one over 10x on that route. Honestly, I can't believe some of these comments. Just because i play the game differently, I'm evil/capacity dumper/fare slasher/babynapper/etc, yet all the time i was doing it, not one person so much as IMed me about it. So honestly, you wanna moan, fine, but I don't feel in any way shape or form in the wrong about it!

and i'll admit it, my moving into ATL was, at least in part, to go after you because of your ticking me off with all those 1 euro Armagnac routes from ORD :twisted: But DFW, LAX? no... I'm quite happy with my hub structure.

Honestly, I always go after the big dog. #1 to me is a bullseye. And sorry, but you're wearing it.

Sacrificing your DOP and "sabotaging" routes with high frequencies and low fares gets you no where close towards #1. And the fact that you moved to ATL out of spite than the spirit of competition makes me glad you won't be playing anymore.

whoa whoa whoa backup...

I never sacrificed anything nor sabotaged anyone. My DOP was over 200 million.
The fact i run 3/4x on routes instead of 1x makes me evil now i guess... well fhine, so be it.

And spite, well... the line between competition and spite is very fuzzy i guess.
But in case you missed it, i was always running smaller planes on routes where i wasn't being undercut. Even now my plan was to have the Convair 340 and L-749 flying most of my regional flights, instead of L1049s, SE2010s, Constitutions, etc like SOME people???

You know I really don't get what the problem is? Seriously, so i came in, made the fares reasonable instead of 700/800/900/1000/more, built terminals at all my hubs the handle the flight loads (and ain't hogging gates because of it) and I'm the problem? yeesh... some people are so hard to keep happy!

Maybe i should come back next round, play the game like you and EPX do, and see how much that's appreciated!

yeah i understand that.......but what he is trying to do is to rise the frequency, lower the price....UNNECESSARILY....
he is just trying to flood the market
i think if this round last until 1960....
he will also have base in DFW and LAX and compete with me and the other poor airlines.... :cry:

my my my, aren't we pots calling kettles things...

Why do i use high frequencies? Cause it seems to work better thats why. The game is running UNDER-capacity on many markets (sorry but 1000 euros on ORD-MEM just doesn't work for me!). Plus, honestly, you clued me into the fact that high frequency can pay more than 1x at a higher fare EPX... and i'll admit it, my moving into ATL was, at least in part, to go after you because of your ticking me off with all those 1 euro Armagnac routes from ORD :twisted: But DFW, LAX? no... I'm quite happy with my hub structure.

Honestly, I always go after the big dog. #1 to me is a bullseye. And sorry, but you're wearing it.

Now look, let me make this clear. This game was fun, but it stopped being fun some time ago on a day to day basis. The 3 things that i mentioned are simply the last straw. But honestly I realizing now i was spending far too much time on here.

Anyways, i'm gonna just hang around till the reset, but i'm not gonna do anything after that.

Ciao!

Alright folks,

I've had it. I'm not going to waste my time on this site anymore.

Over the last 3 days any respect for the staff here has been blown away. Three strikes:

1> 1st i get my account suspended because of some new interpretation of the .5 rule that is not posted anywhere. The accompanying explanation was also sorely lacking in explaining why all of a sudden, out of the blue, after months and months of those routes being there they are suddenly against the rules!
2> Every flippin airline gets a 1.5 billion windfall, not in itself deal breaking... however...
3> just as im getting to the top of the game, a sudden reset is announced in what seems to be a blatant attempt at covering up #2!

We golly gee batman, don't i feel betrayed.

Forget it, i'm done. There's no point in being here if this is the kind of behavior i get, i'm better off going about my business elsewhere and not even bothering coming here.

So long!
