Would someone mind designing me a 737-400? I don't really have any preferences as to what the livery looks like save for incorporating the logo and colors (http://airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/view_airline.php?id=43971) and using Friz Quadrata for the font.

It has to be a focus city to fly to there? Weaksauce.

Bugs / [NAB] Issue with alliance bases

« on: August 19, 2010, 01:46:50 am »

I'm #43971 in Public world #1609. I just joined UniSky. They have a base in Denver, and I want to fly some routes from there. I attempted to create Denver-Salt Lake City (where I have a gate with plenty of slots available), which is well within the range of my Dornier 228-202, which has about 10 hours of flight time available. However, when attempting to set up the route, the Dornier doesn't show up. What's the problem?

Game Strategy / Is there an easier way to calculate highest profit/loadfactor?

« on: August 19, 2010, 12:54:10 am »

Going through and calculating every fare down to the .01 to ensure I had the highest profit with 100% loadfactor wasn't so difficult when I had only a few routes, but now I've got about 25 and it's becoming tedious. Is there any faster way to do it?

Bugs / [Fixed] Loadfactor chart not displaying

I'm looking at my main operations screen and the loadfactor chart isn't showing up. It's just a box that says "Loadfactor Chart."

Hotswapping is the ability to switch a route's plane with another without closing the route, right?

At this point, do you think it'd be worthwhile to try to build another focus city? I'm thinking of Tucson, maybe.

Well, as far as I can tell, I'm still running a profit, but can some of the more experienced minds take a look at my airline and tell me what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong?

Obviously, it's a non-issue for me at this point since I'm nowhere near even buying a second plane, but what's the point of having large planes like 747s if they'll never be profitable?

Yeah, I've started messing around with prices and in addition to massively overcharging for food (my prices range between 35 and 40 euros) I've messed with the routes and my profit margin is now up to almost 800K.

Nevermind this. It seems I just needed to let the game do its work, and despite gate costs of €550,000, I'm going to turn a profit of €634,334.

Airline ID: 43971
World ID: 1609
Current world year: 1994
Current bases: San Diego International
DOC: € 49,143

I'm at a loss, both literally and figuratively. My DOC is just under $50,000, but with my gate rental fees at 650K, I just don't know how I'm expected to turn a profit when any amount of money I make is just going to be taken away every day. Can someone give me a walkthrough?
