Game Data / Airports with significant increases or decreases in pax numbers

« on: September 28, 2012, 02:20:53 pm »

Since game data was last updated, passenger numbers have risen at a number of airports. I will try to find and list the most extreme cases here. I'll be using wikipedia as my source:

Abu Dhabi International Airport:
In game: 9.020.000
RW (2011): 12.400.000

Dubai International Airport:
In game: 40.901.000
RW (2011): 50.977.000

Suggestions / View airport charts

Is it possible to get some more charts? The current market share chart shows total number of seats sold by each airline, but how about total seats offered, total flights (disregarding type of plane), aircraft type and destination?

General Chat / That issue on the 737 being vastly inferior to the A320 family...

« on: July 20, 2011, 07:41:47 pm »

It looks like the issue has been solved (at long last). Airbus (not AM) decided to change

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-14222042

260 firm and 365 options for Airbus. Only 97 firm and 103 "intentions" for Boeing, that coming from a prime Boeing customer...

General Chat / Which is coolest - helicopter pilots or airplane pilots?

« on: May 28, 2011, 10:49:37 pm »

I'm in an awful dilema. Which of the above mentioned is coolest? Which has most Tom Cruise? Which one will attract most girls? Which one is the most awesome?

[=] Suggestions / Closed airports have 0 passengers

« on: May 25, 2011, 09:32:13 pm »

I just noticed that Tempelhof has 0 passengers. While that is correct for 2010, i am in a world set in the 1970s Any chance these airport issues can be fixed? After all, they had plenty of passengers before they were closed.

Use this thread to post random comings and going of real world aviation related character.

Today a Robinson R44 landed on the lawn right beside my house. I have always wondered if it was possible to land a helicopter there, and today it was proven!
It was picking up some neighbors that were going to a party.

[-] Suggestions / A new leasing system

« on: May 20, 2011, 11:16:54 pm »

How about a new leasing system?

As it is now, airlines will have to manually lease out their planes. They rarely do so, and usually at unattractive rates for short periods due to the fear of maintenance costs. And they rarely make any money doing so.

But what if the game (lets call it system) leases out the planes instead?

The system would own a selection of planes, always offering up a few on the market, assuring that you can always lease a plane.

You can then lease the plane from the system.

You can negotiate the length of the lease with the system (simple formula, for each extra year, the lease pr. month drops by 1%).

Another possibility would be the option of leasing the plane directly from the manufacturer. You basically negotiate a lease on a 737-800 from Boeing, and it gets delivered. You have to pay extra for newer planes though.

Advantages:

• Better possibilities for smaller/newly started airlines to compete
• More planes on the leasing market

• Ability to operate planes for MANY years without dealing with mx costs (Would be offset by having the lease costs instead, but they are constant each year)

[=] Suggestions / Raise fuel consumption or fuel costs

« on: May 05, 2011, 06:59:04 pm »

Having played the game for some time, there is one thing that keeps nagging me. Fuel costs. They are almost completely insignificant. You can buy the biggest fuel guzzler, and you will hardly notice it on the costs. Shouldn't fuel costs be much higher?

It would make it far more interesting to buy new planes. You would have to take fuel consumption into consideration.

[-] Suggestions / Light aircraft?

« on: April 22, 2011, 11:55:22 am »

Is there a reason the Cessna 172 and other planes that size aren't included in the game? Particularly in the 3rd world, many airlines use Cessnas and Pipers on passenger flights.
