I'm finding the same. I accidentally found this out when I wanted to add an extra flight to a higher revenue airport (MCO versus BTR). It seems the .5's do generate significantly more cash. However, when I get new planes I'll be changing the .5's to 1's.

Me too. I think as we get larger capacity aircraft and more competition, the .5's will have less value.

Lets see what this one single airplane does.

1. Flies to airport #1 loaded with passengers - uses up hours.
2. Magically reappears at base - uses no hours to get back
3. Flies to airport #2 loaded with passengers - uses up hours.
4. Magically reappears at base - uses no hours to get back
5. Flies to airport #3 loaded with passengers - uses up hours.
6. Magically reappears at base - uses no hours to get back
7. Flies to airport #4 loaded with passengers - uses up hours.
8. Magically reappears at base - uses no hours to get back
9. Flies to airport #5 loaded with passengers - uses up hours.
10. Magically reappears at base - uses no hours to get back

So on & so forth...

Even though it's currently within the rules, it's only just slightly less "cheating" than having multiple 0.5s on the same route.

This was something else I was going to bring up. If they want the .5 freq "abuse" to stop. Make the profit on a rt much closer to double the one way and have the aircraft use up hours to return to base if that's where its next flight with originate from.

I agree. The aircraft needs to be using up hours when it returns to base to make it more realistic. Seeing some crafts with the number of 0.5 routes they have is just not realistic. I am only saying this to share my opinion to try to help the game. I think it's a great game.

So is it OK to fly 6 1-freq flights to the same airport?

Sensfan1 · **Reply #94 on:** October 14, 2007, 07:38:29 pm

That is a good question. 6 (1 frequency runs) to one airport seems to be more profitable than 1 (6 frequency run). So I echo that. Is it ok to have 6 (1 frequency runs) to the same airport?

That should be fine with the rules& with reality.

Could we simply implement a rule that if a plane has more than two 0.5 route the aircraft has to use its houers on one flight back to base?

To answer my own question I think it is as found in this topic on gate hogging
http://www.stephenm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1796

Quote

- max of 10 frequencies between any two airports
- max of 2 0.5 frequencies per route

Sensfan1 · **Reply #97 on:** October 14, 2007, 08:21:02 pm

Does that mean a max of 1( 10 frequency route) or could i have 10 (10 frequency routes) from Airport A to Airport B.

I am confused. If I want to set up a base at another airport then I have to buy four gates at that airport. This means to fill up those gates I would need 40 frequencies going to that airport from my home airport.

Cheers.

To build the base, you don't need to actually use the 4 gates. You can also rent-and-return them, but it will cost you slightly more money. And to answer your first question: both, as it's essentially the same (1x10 = 10x1). This AxB = BxA does not apply to 0.5 frequency routes, where you can have a max of 2 0.5 frequency routes to the same airports.

Sensfan1 · **Reply #99 on:** October 14, 2007, 08:32:37 pm

So just to clarify. From airport A to airport B. I can have either 10 (1 freq routes) or 1 (10 freq route). Anything more is cheating?

So that means I can't have say 11 (1 freq routes) or a 1 (10 freq route) and a 1 (1 freq route) beacause 11 is above 10?

MrOrange · **Reply #100 on:** October 14, 2007, 08:36:17 pm

Correct.

Thanks Mr. Orange. I appreciate the clarification and time.

Cheers,

So 10 freq routes are allowed?

As long as you have NO other service on that particular route.

Example: Aircraft 1 ZZZ-YYY 10 freq. OK

Aircraft 1 ZZZ-YYY 8 freq.
Aircraft 2 ZZZ-YYY .5freq This is ok, total of 10 freq, not more than 2- .5 routes
Aircraft 3 ZZZ-YYY .5 freq
Aircraft 4 ZZZ-YYY 1 freq

Aircraft 1 ZZZ-YYY 10 freq.
Aircraft 2 ZZZ-YYY .5 freq. Not OK, more than total of 10 freq.
Aircraft 3 ZZZ- YYY .5 freq.
