General Chat / how planes are divided in build time?

« on: July 05, 2021, 10:48:03 pm »

If possible, myself and others, would love to find out how planes are divided into build time, and possibly WHICH planes go into which build time category. I know planes are divided into 24,48,72, and 144 days build delivery days. Which planes go into which build time though?  If possible, please be specific.

Thank you, and Happy flying!!

Bugs / Issue with Advertisement

« on: July 04, 2021, 07:00:58 pm »

World:  PW# 3554 AST    Airline: Metalurgy International   ID# 32962

Hi. It isn't about the game, really, but how the advertisements are affecting the gameplay. When I read my messages, and I want to delete messages, the ad bar covers the delete button, so I cannot delete any messages. I have tried clicking on the x of the advertisement, to no avail. Then just a white box same size is there, still covering the delete box. Is there anyway the developers can fix this issue?

Thank you for your time, and Happy Flying!!!

Game Strategy / Please critique my airline?

« on: June 20, 2021, 10:32:16 pm »

https://www.airlinemogul.com/show_airline.php?id=32962&wid=3554   PW 3554.  Metalurgy International

I am an experienced player, and know my airline is quite healthy. However, if any advanced/experienced players can look at it, and give me any tips/hints/advice to further it even more, I would be very grateful. Please try to be as detailed as possible in how you think my airline can do better. Always learning, always wanting to get better. In the future, I would like to try for a position on the staff, possibly as moderator, but that still is mostly awhile from now.  lol  Still, it is a future dream.

Thank you for the critique, and as always,

Happy flying!!!

Bugs / Inability to register my first flight

« on: June 02, 2021, 08:25:59 pm »

So, I have been playing this game for several years, and this is the first time I have ever encountered this. Is it a new issue, or could it have been set up this way with the parameters from the world creator? I really want to play this world, but am unable until a fix is found. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

The World is pw# 3554. Airline is : Metalurgy International.

The error message states: Flight Number Error. Your flight number must be at least 3, and at most 5 numbers long.

Ok, I understand that, and have never had an issue with starting my very first flight out as 001. This time, however, this error message comes up. I have even tried putting my flight as 3, thinking that may be what the error message was about. Nope. I tried putting 0001. Still get the error message. I have always been able to use 0 as a numeral character. Has the game taken "zero" out of the use of flight numbers? I still have enough cash to create and fly this flight, as I am sure you can see when you open up my airline. Again, thank you for any help you can render. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Game Strategy / planes for smaller/larger airports

« on: April 22, 2021, 04:04:26 pm »

Not sure if there is a topic about this yet, but what planes do you use for smaller airports, than larger ones? If you can be a little more detailed than saying that you use props to jets, lol. And what would you consider a smaller airport as... 20M, 5M, 100k?  I'm pretty sure any airport above 30M will be ok using a plane with 130 seats or more, and get good profit. I know miles also have to do with the profit of a route, as even with a higher airport population, a short route will be considerably less profit than a longer route of same size airport. What I want to know is, has anyone figured out the formula or ratio of when it's best to use smaller/larger seat planes with smaller/larger population airports.  Thanks for your help, and happy flying everyone!!!!

Bugs / Re: "Total Daily Departures: 0" error

« on: March 05, 2018, 10:09:45 am »

Thanks for the report, I have resolved this issue along with another one on the page that was sitting there for a while. The Departure numbers should be accurately reflected now.

I am having a problem with trying to swap new different aircraft with older aircraft using the same route. When I click update results, all revenues, expenses, total profit/loss, and load factors are "0".

When I try to swap and create, it gives me this error code:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AS `daycreated`, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `zworld3205_route` AS `r2` WHERE `r2`.`us' at line 5

Please help!!  All my load factors when viewing the routes page are fine, right where they should be. But it won't let me create any flights, new or swapped.

Aircraft ID: Boeing 377 Stratocruiser N12AOG
User Acct: dennis 32962
A gate: N/A
A route: ALL routes
World: PW #3205  Trials of Flight

I am wanting to swap several Tupolev Tu-114's with several Boeing Stratocruisers.

Please help!  Thank you for your time, Stephen.   

I just looked at another of my worlds, World: PW #3321 America after the war. This error code also appears in here as well. It appears when trying to swap out ANY aircraft.

Game Strategy / question on buying aircraft from manufacturer

« on: January 13, 2013, 12:28:17 am »

Sorry if this topic is covered elsewhere, but: When someone orders new aircraft from the manufacturer, they have a liability down payment due. There is also some payment that is owed at time of delivery. Now, does the buyer just pay the liability payment, and nothing more, OR, in addition to the liability payment, is the remaining balance owed from the buyer at time of delivery?

Game Strategy / possible brokered aircraft?

« on: January 12, 2013, 11:50:24 pm »

I got 2 Tup 354's and in my aircraft list, it says 24 hours and in parenthesis, brkr 24 hours. What does this mean? Am I supposed to broker these planes now, or will they just become mine after 24 hours? I have never used this feature before, and cannot seem to find anything in the forum on the subject. I got them from the aircraft market, and someone was listing these 2 aircraft for brokering, I guess. I clicked on them cause I thought I knew what they were.

I do not, so I am asking what happens now after the 24 hours wait time left are up?

It was under the broker requests tab

Thx for responses

Game Strategy / in between range flights with 100-150 seat aircraft

« on: January 07, 2013, 11:05:02 am »

I read in forum where the larger planes are NOT profitable. Ok. But, what about using a 737-200 that has range of, something like 1600 miles(I could be wrong), for a route less than 1,000 miles? Would the fuel use/maintenance be worth flying it? Or should I stick to almost maximum range for the higher fuel aircraft? I usually fly Tup 354 or KVC for the shorter flights. I was just wondering if it is feasible to add more seats on a mid range flight of 737-200 and still be quite profitable? 

Thx for advice.
