The backdoor Route Cheat working for some airlines.

There is a backdoor cheat... i know i accidently found it myself.
I can edit my routes and put as much value in ticket prices and frequency possible which then the game does not see that its not going to get as much % boarding and goes 100% with frequency of eg. 17 at $1750 giving 2million per route if done correctly!

now then you times this by every single route and you have a nice little cashflow and a nice airline value...

Your all entitled to your opinions but I will not tollerate open war on the forums. Go to AE for that. :wink:

Edit route was taken down. I'm afraid to look on the databases to see what profits people are making.

Believe me, it was a lot. My DOP is 48m, but I make at least 1 /2 legally.

I remember when it was unlimited ticket price. 50,000 per ticket EXT - LHR, 8 frequencies = sick DOP.

i just say you reset something... as even if you have closed edit routes, the people that are cheating will be able to until they close there routes.

It's not really a bug. Think about it. If people REALLY needed to travel from A to B, and you're the only one on this route (my experimentation shows that this bug is only activated if you're the only one on the route), they have to pay anyways, so you can charge an impossibly high amount and you still get pax.

Of course, it's all exagerrated, but..

it's just a game

If you really think it's unfair, wait patiently till master Murphy fixes it, then suggest a reset.
