Passenger Revenue Calculations

[juancho]

Not sure how this game calculates passenger revenue so I have a few questions.

I assume you guys have only one type of passenger, that being economy only right?  So there is no seperate calculation for Business and First class passengers, is that correct?

So to make up for it, especially on the larger planes like the 330 you include more seats than normal? Right?:?:

For example the A330-300 in AM has 440 seats. Lets compare this to seat layout for some airline operators of the type:

Air Canada A330-300 has a total of 270 (C42,Y228):

Asiana A330-300 304 (C30, Y274) BTW the total shown for Y class is wrong you can count the seats:

Cathay Pacific A330-300 1st layout total 311 (C44,Y267):

Northwest Airlines A330-300 total 298 (C34,Y264):

QANTAS Airlines A330-300 total 297 (C30,Y267):

Thai A330-300 total 305 (C42,Y263):

A rough average for the the # of seats on the A330-300 is around 280. As you can see nowhere near the AM A330-300 with 440 seats. The only logic I can see is the AM model is stuffing these A330-300s in a single class economy layout. :?:

But then some of the other AM airplanes have the correct number of seats as the real airlines. So I'm not sure what's going on. :shock:

Can the AM devs explain how this game calculates passenger revenue and why some of the seat numbers on AM airplanes is completely whacko?

We've tried our best to stick to single-class cow-packed economy for our aircraft data (at present).  Longer term, we're trying to put in a reasonable system of multi-class seats and tickets (There's a lot of things we'd like to do of course, we've only got so much time and effort available at a given time).

Where there is no available single-class cowpacker data, we go with the maximum available data.  a few planes likely are exceptions to this (likely accidental), but c'est la vie.

A single-aisle A330... whoa, cool idea
