Bugs / Market Share shows up as 0%, but should be 100%

« on: January 05, 2010, 01:54:14 am »

ID: Airport ID: 215 (Narsarsuaq - UAK/BGBW)
Type: Market Share Calculation
Airline Details: Freedom Air ICELAND - ID 33390 [Public World 1110]
Description:
On the the page you go to after entering a world, there is a "World Info - At a Glance" section that shows the percent market share in several airports.  One of my hubs, Narsarsuaq*, shows up as 0% for me, even though I actually have 100%.  This also occurs on the Operations page.
*Narsarsuaq has zero passengers per year according the airport page

Bugs / [NAB] View All Aircraft Page - Strange Dates

« on: January 04, 2010, 12:07:46 am »

On the View All Aircraft Page (under Aircraft), some of the dates are a bit funny.  The Boeing 737-400 and Boeing 737-500 both show up as being introduced in year 1, and there is a plane called "Santa's Sleigh" (the Manufacturer is Team Farrell) available from 0 to 20.

Bugs / View Routes

« on: January 03, 2010, 11:29:22 pm »

ID: N/A
Type: Minor
Description:
On the View Routes page, at the bottom of each list of routes (when shown by hub using the options to the right), there is a line that says "Summary for XXX Airport".  Under the list of alliance routes, it says "Summary for Vienna International Airport", which happens to be the airport above that list.

I have hubs at Baltimore, Chicago-Midway, Vienna, and Washington-Dulles.

Bugs / Illogical Routing Allowed

« on: December 29, 2009, 07:05:08 pm »

ID: Aircraft ID - 5753
Type: Route Logic
Description:
I have a Boeing 707-320 flying these routes (0.5x):
IAD-MAD (ID 26041)
VIE-IAD (ID 26045)

I was somehow able to put it on another 0.5 frequency route: IAD-ANC.

I have a hub at both IAD and VIE, and only the second route departs from VIE.

Bugs / Loadfactor Bug (#2)

« on: November 24, 2009, 12:02:06 am »

ID: I can't give one at the moment.
Type: Loadfactor
Description:
When there is a route with two flights and the loadfactor on one is already reduced, closing the route with the higher loadfactor does not increase the loadfactor of the remaining flight (the original).
Example (these aren't real routes):
Route ID / Routing / Load
10 / JFK to ORD / 100%
Adding a second flight:
10 / JFK to ORD / 46%
11 / JFK to ORD / 100%
And then removing the second flight:
10 / JFK to ORD / 46%

Bugs / Loadfactor Bug (#1)

« on: November 24, 2009, 12:01:50 am »

ID: Route 333* (see description)
Type: Loadfactor
Description:
When I add a route to another routing that already has a flight scheduled, the loadfactor on the original flight drops (naturally).  However, when I go to edit that flight, the loadfactor drops significantly more from what was shown.
I noticed this on Route ID 333 after adding route 2031, from BWI to MCO.  Route ID 333 had its loadfactor fall around 93%, but when I went to edit it, and tested the loadfactor for the same price, the loadfactor went down to around 37%.

Bugs / Can't Make Route

« on: November 23, 2009, 11:22:55 pm »

ID: Aircraft ID - 502, 503
Type: Route Logic
Description:
My Convair 440s listed above are unable to fly non-round trip flights.
I have hubs in Chicago Midway(MDW), and Baltimore(BWI).
502 is flying MDW-DFW-BWI-IAH-MDW.
503 is flying MDW-MIA-BWI-MCO-MDW.  All of these routes are 0.5 frequency flights.

When I go to add another flight on one of these planes to Seattle, it only shows me the other planes (I haven't started routes on any of them yet) when I go to pick the plane to use.  Other routes allow 502/503 to fly on them only if there is enough time left for a 1 frequency flight (for example, with shorter flights to Chicago O'Hare or Washington Dulles).
These planes have enough hours, I have open slots at Midway (the intended departure airport), and I have slots at Seattle.

Game Strategy / Intra-city Flights, New Hub Ideas, and Expansion

« on: November 20, 2009, 03:27:26 am »

Airline ID: 33390
World ID: 1073
Current world year: 1956
Current bases: Baltimore (BWI)
DOC: €1,416,537
Forum code: http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/show_airline.php?id=33390&wid=1073
Goals: I just want to have some fun in the game - I'm not looking to be #1 (not likely at this point anyway), and to learn a bit more about playing.

Is there any purpose of intra-city flights (like London Heathrow to London Gatwick), besides maxing out plane hours?  I've seen a few people using them (including myself), and I often see that they only have 1 frequency on these routes.

Also, is it frowned upon to have a base in the same metropolitan area as another one of your bases?  I'm contemplating adding another base, but I'm not sure where the best location would be (I've considered Washington Dulles and Chicago Midway).  I've noticed that there aren't a lot of small airports to fly into, and that some regions have fewer airports than others.

Bugs / Sort by Flight number in View Routes

« on: November 19, 2009, 03:43:52 am »

ID: see description
Type: Minor/Sorting by the Wrong Data
Description:
I was viewing my routes and I chose to sort by Flight Number, so I clicked "Flt No."  After looking at the routes list again, I found that it sorts by Route ID, rather than flight number (one case: flight 1500 [route ID 335] was sorted before flight 140 [ID 454], but after flight 120 [ID 334]).

Bugs / View World Bug [w1073]

« on: November 19, 2009, 03:23:15 am »

Type: Minor
Description: When viewing world 1073 (from the World select screen), the list of the 25 Busiest airports has some errors.  Some airports appear more than once (e.g., Paris-Orly, London Stansted), and some seem to appear/disappear randomly (Atlanta, Baltimore).  The other lists do not do this.
Airline Details: Freedom Air - ID 33390 [W1073]

EDIT:
Here's an example, using the top 12 of 25 busiest airports (at 2:05 PM server time, June 4 1956):

Rank	Airport	Flights
1	London Heathrow	130
2	Frankfurt Airport	76
3	Hartsfield - Jackson Atlanta International	44
4	Newark Liberty International	37
5	Hartsfield - Jackson Atlanta International	44
6	Dublin	31
7	Dublin	31
8	Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County	29
9	Tegel	27
10	Boston - General Edward Lawrence Logan International	22
11	New York La Guardia	20
12	New York La Guardia	20

New York La Guardia, Dublin, and Atlanta are shown twice, while Atlanta is shown out of sequence in one.
