On some routes LF is low even with very low prices (major routes).

Is there any competition?
How many frequencies?
How big is the plane?

Yes there is a lot of competition and overcapacity is there but the script does not work very well. I was on the route for a while. Now new airline enters and my LF goes down all the way to 0% (not realistic). In order to get my passengers back I need to drop price to 79 Eur.

Also since edit route is down I have to close my route and reopen it paying for research again.

Yeah, I think its due to the loadfactor formula that was supplied. I got help with that one but its very sensitive. Its very fond of price drops. I will have to spend a few hours on excel reducing its effect a little.
