Suggestions / Emails about public worlds

« on: June 29, 2012, 12:43:45 am »

Is there any chance the game could send out notification emails when there is a new public world about to open up? I hate missing the chance to get in on the ground floor of a public world that interests me.

Perhaps the email could include the world's info, like starting aircraft, continents, etc. etc.

What you're thinking of is called hotswapping, and it's being worked on right now.

Suggestions / Two suggestions

« on: June 12, 2012, 05:01:23 am »

It's not as much of an issue for the standard 10-year public worlds, but if a player joins a long-term private world later in the game, they might be outclassed with the starting aircraft. Maybe it should be possible to set the starting aircraft to change every set number of years (either five or ten) so players who come in late won't start with such an outdated aircraft.

My other suggestion is related to continents. Would it be possible to have an option where continents can be set to arrivals only? I'm currently in the Asia/Australasia/Middle East public world and I was thinking of what it would be like to have US markets available in that game. However, to keep the game As/Au/ME-centric, if North America was available, it would be arrival only and you could only fly to that continent, not from it. Would it be possible to implement that as an option when choosing continents during world setup?

Game Data / A couple of Middle East issues

« on: March 07, 2012, 01:47:00 am »

I'm looking over my chart of the Middle East gates I own in #2208, and there seems to be a couple of inconsistencies.

First of all, gates in Abu Dhabi cost 100,000. However, it has more passengers than Kuwait (along with quite a few others) yet Kuwait (along with quite a few others) costs more (150,000) than Abu Dhabi.

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
AUH   Abu Dhabi International   72   €100,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
OMAA   9,020,000   862,172    United Arab Emirates

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
KWI   Kuwait International Airport   128   €150,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
OKBK   8,125,617   197,214    Kuwait

The same issue arises with Tblisi, except the other way around. It has fewer passengers than Bandar Abbas and other 50,000 airports, yet gates at Tblisi cost 100,000.

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
BND   Bandar Abbas   39   €50,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
OIKB   772,775   4,067    Iran, Islamic Republic of

Airport   
IATA   Airport Name   Gates   Cost
TBS   Tbilisi International   94   €100,000
ICAO   Passengers   Cargo   Country
UGTB   615,230   1    Georgia

General Chat / Re: Question on the Revenue Model

« on: March 05, 2012, 09:10:51 pm »

This should also be paired with making larger airplanes actually profitable. Games that run into the late 2000s run out of good long-haul options since anything that carries over 300 passengers just isn't profitable. The model should be adjusted to make it possible to run an airline using the larger aircraft. Obviously it's possible to make a profit flying those larger aircraft, or else Boeing and Airbus wouldn't be manufacturing them. However, that isn't reflected in-game.

Bugs / [NaB] GCM error

« on: February 28, 2012, 09:00:04 pm »

In Public World 2208, researching routes to a lot of airports in Iran doesn't work. The research instead automatically shows up as a route to Gorgan.

I assume this is an error with GCM, as the airports in question don't seem to show up on the map. Is there any way this can be fixed here or is it solely something with GCM? Also, isn't there a new version of GCM out?

Game Data / Re: Caravelle passenger capacities

« on: February 22, 2012, 09:08:42 pm »

Wikipedia is not reliable source, there can many mistakes as anybody can edit the text.

I know that. However, the Wikipedia article cites a book that is a reliable source.

Game Data / Caravelle passenger capacities

« on: February 22, 2012, 08:24:24 pm »

The 10B's capacity should be 105, not 104, and the 12's capacity should be 140, not 128, as per this, which cites a book which I don't have which presumably states the correct statistics.

Game Data / Re: Cyprus

« on: February 22, 2012, 02:59:05 am »

The state of Cyprus is part of the EU, so I would say that politically, they are Europe. They've also adopted the Euro which shows that they're tied in with Europe. Depending on how you classify what continent a country is in, I'd say Cyprus is definately Europe.

That's not that solid of an argument considering that Turkey is in negotiations to become a full member of the EU.
