meal drinks and prices

so, how does this work?, it has some kind of effect that i´m unaware of?, or is it just to boost profit?, it would actually help me against competitor routes... or it isn´t coded yet and it´s just profit?

at present it's just profit. i haven't devised a good way to calculate (and recalculate) everyone's food/drink affect on demand. it would likely be pretty slight in the end. but. when i figure that out.... yes.

So you do earn a profit on it?

yep. it's not broken out as a seperate line when creating a route, but it's shown as misc revenue in the finance page.

that means that I can set them all at a higher ridiculous price and there will be no penalties? :shock:

As a result of my test, the max. price you can set is $99.99

**Still I'm going to sell it for only a buck.XD

I've changed mine and have had no change in the Misc. Revenue field. Still at €0, even after day changes.

I guess your prices are too high then, I charge 3 Euro for Alcohol and 3 Euro for snacks and still make some 9K Euro in the end of the month.

I've tried max (99.99) and even 1 across the board. No change at the time.

I just tried now, and it's now showing.

Earlier, I let it go for a few days and there was no income from it, now that I waited a few more hours(days), it's finally showing up in finance. I don't know why it took so long to finally show up.

I tried prices at a reasonable amount and was getting ~500 a month. I then tried a 99.99 and was getting ~100 a month. It did take a few game days for it to show, but it certainly did.

Do 9 euros... lots of profit

I set it to 0.5 euro for snack and 5 euro for meals, still nothing shows up.

This is one thing I cannot get myself to do, being used to full meals on a flight as short as 80 minutes!

Remember most people (like me) are flying cattle class predominantly. That means unless you fly some awsome airline like Singapore Airlines, you wouldn't get a free meal on voyages that take less than 3h.

My 2 cents on the topic:
You could introduce the effects on the load together with the seating arrangements. It's clear that you can't charge people for stuff in C or F while you're pretty free to do so in Y.
