General Chat / Mac vs PC

« on: May 21, 2008, 11:57:50 am »

PC: More software, more users (so more support etc.), Macs are usually more expensive, most computers come with Windows (so if buying a Mac, you may not get the computer you want)
Mac: some say it is easier to use, less viruses
Alternatives
Linux: Free software/operating system, less viruses, more options in terms of opperating system
But... less commercial software than others (free software is often not as good as commercial ones, especially at high end), very few computers come with it installed, can be a bit difficult to get working

This is just for starters, there are lots of other reasons why, search it on Google.

General Chat / Price of Aircraft

I believe the prices for the aircraft are made up by an automated system, based on the plane's stats.

General Chat / Dettol?

« on: May 21, 2008, 06:58:51 am »

It may be one of the things listed under Proposition 65 in California (a regulation which says anything with even the slightest chance of causing "cancer, birth defects, or other adverse reproductive outcomes" has to be reported on the label) or a similar law. This rule means that even things with "no significant risk" need to have labels, for example Maraschino cherries "cause cancer". If you eat million of these cherries, you may get cancer from it, however, with any number of cherries you could conceivably eat, you will be fine.
I don't know, but it may be something covered by this law. However, it would not be used if there was any significant risk of cancer from it.

General Chat / My Airline Value isnt changing...

« on: May 21, 2008, 01:18:28 am »

Your DOP has no effect on your value. Value is simply your cash + the value of anything you own. When you bought the aircraft, you subtracted cash and added to value of aircraft owned (no overall change). However, because you have a higher DOP, you will be earning more money, and your airline value will rise faster from now on.

General Chat / Found someone with 3x 0.5 routes

« on: May 19, 2008, 10:29:15 am »

I think it would be useful to have a special topic for reporting rule violations. It would be an obvious place to look. After all, who looks at the rules anyway?

Perhaps a sticky thread should be made for info on the .5 route abuse thing, because people keep reporting it, just something saying who to email etc.

General Chat / Dobbing in :(

Where does it say that in the Wiki, it only says no more than 2   *.5 routes. I couldn't find any mention of over 2 frequency. If it is there, then it should be changed.

General Chat / Boeing 707-320 engines

Surely there is some difference, otherwise Boeing would not have bothered putting on different engine types.

General Chat / How to add photo in this forum?

« on: May 18, 2008, 11:17:55 am »

I am not sure how GCM works, but when you look for the name of the photo it doesn't give it to you. i.e. that is not a link to a photo you tried to put up, if it were a link to a photo, it would end in .jpg, .bmp .....

You do not actually need to take a screenshot, simply right click on it and save it to your hard drive, then upload it from there.

However, if you do want to take a screenshot, first press the Print Screen button on you keyboard. This copies the image of your screen, then go into a program (PowerPoint or a photo editing program, any thing you can paste it into) and paste it. Then save it. If you put it into PowerPoint and right click on it, it gives you the option of saving. However, you could also go save the whole PowerPoint slide as an image (this allows you to choose the file format), under File, Save As...

Summary: just right click on the image and save it, upload it from there.

They were different before, for some reason they have become the same now.... I am not sure why.

Bugs / Airline Map not displayed

« on: May 11, 2008, 08:54:08 am »

Could someone stop all flights to/from affected airports from being shown. i.e. Great Circle Mapper is not told about those routes by Airline Mogul. As for the number of flights, it could be programmed so that Airline Mogul again does not send any more routes for mapping to GCM after x routes have been created (i.e. only your lowest (by ID) x routes are shown).

General Chat / Show your colors - The Liveries Topic

I finally got around to painting (after making the 3D model of) an MD-81.
This is my second most used plane type, CHR Airlines operates 11 with more soon to come.
