Bugs / Unable to modify lease offer

« on: October 08, 2008, 11:31:27 am »

W14, a/c ID 1007, airline ID 8585.

When trying to modify the price for an a/c offered for lease, an error occurs:

Unknown column 'lease_to' in 'field list'

(script lease_ac.php)

Same here.

World 14, Airline 8585, Beijing Capital (airport ID 145). For me it shows 136 flights (double the 68 I'm doing) and 123.02% of seats.

Bugs / Re: aircraft sales filter

That means, you check the aircraft you DON'T want to view. Yes, kind of backwards, and I hope the admins can switch it around.

I hope they don't.

If the aircraft you're looking for is not available, you can't add it to the filter. That would mean wading through pages and pages of starting a/c to get to where we want to go. It would also mean that, with active filters, we might miss a few opportunities.

By filtering out instead of in, we simply get rid of the models that have absolutely no interest to us.

Creating private worlds, after map selection:

1) The main button reads "Calculcate costs."

2) The "cost" reads "The Appoximate cost for this world is xx tokens."

Would this do?

I think those would do very nicely.

Along the same line (pun intended), would it be possible to have each route's checkbox on the main line?

Also, if there remains a need for secondary lines of information, why not also show ticket prices somewhere in there?

Bugs / New aircraft unregistered?

« on: October 05, 2008, 05:54:52 pm »

I just noticed that aircraft I ordered since these latest changes do not get an automatic registration.

(Not that it bothers me much.)

Example: Word #14, Airline #8585, a/c #2174.

So does everyone just charge a buttload or what?  What does everyone have theirs set to?

Charge too little and you won't be ripping your nice pax as much as you could. Charge too much and watch as most bring their smelly hamburgers from home.

Try to find the best price, the one that maximizes your profits. It's not hard, just takes a little experimenting.

does charging for drinks or food cause you to have to lower fares to stay competitive (keeping a heavy load factor)?

Currently, no.

Well, these changes usually make for some hectic times.

now I'm faced with a 600 million euro debt that I'm pretty sure I could not have slumped into after 12 hours of inactivity.

I think clock stopped during the downtime, but that was only a couple of hours. More likely month changed and you (along with every competitor) payed for monthly expenses (gates, maintenance, leasing). Do check the finance report. It should shed some light on what happened.

We reserve the right to close login at any time basically.

OK, I understand that. But what I meant was basically if, while login is open, the clock keeps ticking or if the game time will remain frozen until testing is deemed successful.

Quick question: 24h of testing means the game will remain paused for that period? Or was it only while the changes were being implemented?

Smaller fonts and proper use of wide displays make for a much better interface.

Before, on a 1680x1050 screen, I had the aircraft list all squeezed to the left with mostly all plane names and whatnot wrapped on 3 lines, while half the screen was just blank wasted space. Now it looks WAY better!

well done!! really well done! a good refresh of the old theme, very intersting the option Research Routes, i wait it for a long time....just one question, i don't found the Google map routes....

Research route was there before. Are you using Internet Explorer? Maybe it was not available on that browser.

As for the Google maps version of routes, see here under Admin. There you can go to "traditional" or Google versions of your route map.
