Is using route editing scripts in AM illegal, or just highly frowned upon?

I don't think it's illegal, but it's definitely frowned upon because it gives you an unfair advantage over other players

Its not in the rules, but doesn't mean we will prevent their use when we find a way.

Do you have such a thing?

Obviously one will never admit to having one, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a few people do use one.

Anyone with basic programming knowledge could easily whip something up.

the thing i always think is how? cause its not fixed on one computer but its online and the thought of something automatically changing a price in AM over the internet which is quiet scary to me, not cause its not possible but cause a simple script can change everything automatically and thats without hacking into the server :D

Its quite easy to set them up. I was shown how to for another game. Yet any reports of these being created were not found to be taking place on a uniform basis with "round" times.

Obviously I wouldn't admit if I was using one, no :D
I have a mate at school who's really clever with computers that I was thinking of asking him to have a look at making a script, as I simply don't have time to edit routes for 30 mins a day, but I desperately want to play AM. I probably won't until my airline gets quite a bit bigger, if at all.

Are you studying for NCEA exams?

Not yet, no. Our mocks start as soon as we get back from holidays in term 4. Most people think that's good, but it's straight after we get back from a week in Fiji, so I won't have done any study :lol:

so you like playing AM but you dont like editing routes? then whats the point of playing? just to order planes and see them in your fleet?  :roll:

And creating new routes, yeah. Editing routes is hardly fun...

Repedatley clicking on something that requires no thought or strategy is not fun in my book.  ;D
