i dont see why you would build a terminal now, i mean all it does is let more competition into the airport.
sure you get to expand but you have to wonder if the cost benefit of keeping the competition out is worth
more than the new routes

It does let a little competition in for a big bit of expansion you can make, especially if you're stuck in a corner by no gates being available for rent.

it trumps (i hope) the AE system, where when you build a terminal, it must be as large as all rented gates AND all rented gates are immediately returned to the open market.

in the future (next age), there will be a cap on how many gates you can rent at an airport, so expansion beyond a certain point will require terminal construction.

edit: Fixed the edit route bug. sorry about that.

question, i've built a terminal... it is unfortunately wayyyyy too big.
am i going to lose the gates i've built if they are unused or will i have
room to expand until i decide to use it?

Your flights are assumed to be operated from your terminal gates first. Your gates in your terminals will not be returned automatically, but if you don't fill up all the slot, your current gates at the public terminal (original airport) would be tagged and return because they are not used.

Someone mentioned the price, deal with it. AEB is kind enough to have them soooo cheap. It is roughly 8 times more expensive to build a terminal in real life (at least at our benchmark, the JFK JetBlue terminal).

this is going to get ugly in a hurry, all its gonna take is 2 or 3 big airlines
building terminals at each of the major airports and no one is gonna make money anywhere.

That's the reason for build only at focus city+ rule, we'll see how it plays out, adjust as need be.

if it's too easy to build, or too easy to eat up more then your fair share, i'll know what to change for next age. whole game's always a grand experiment, in some manner or another.

Oh, we know that. As a matter of fact, when the suggest of terminals came up in the forum, I was the one who pointed it out.

the next game will have shorter flights, if it isn´t an issue now... it won´t be an issue then

and fyi before you move a site change the ttl to 30 it will make dns changes QUICK

Some things sound too good to be true, especially when concerning a project you've put a lot of time and effort into (as well as other resources).

and yes, if we controlled the NS's we'd have set things up a lot better to flow a lot quicker, but we didn't. the DN will be transferred as fast as the registrar (who likes dragging feet) will update it.

go to airlinemogul.com; see the news item that talks about the new server. click the word here. then log in.

I'll see if i can get something more convenient set up soon.

edit: There. old address automatically redirects to the ip address of the new server. Should be good now. Hopefully the domain name will catch up soon. Just remember only www.airlinemogul.com redirects to the new server from the old one. when i'm awake, i'll likely make the old login page redirect as well if need be. but until then. ta.
