I created a hub in LIN today (have 5 gates there). I was QUITE surprised to see a deduction in my cash by 40 million USD!
How on earth could hub creation add up to 40 MILLION?

Because things have changed and that needs altering first.

Elchie will reimburse you when he has time, hopefully ;-)

Creating a hub at HND for me would cost nearly 600 million :)

This needs fixing asap otherwise other people are going to fall into the trap and because your are allowed to go into debt when paying for your hub some people could ruin their airline with it.

Well seeing as the 18 month limit is up now and you can hub anywhere I guess you wont be the only one.

I always look before buying anything especially as code is changed while the game is being run. :eureka:

I will order golden beer for our XMas party :)

Hub pricing is corrected now, tomorrow I will check the financial logs for already payed hub-openings and will correct the cash amount of the user. So stay tuned.

So where do I get the invitation for the christmas party then? ;-)

I'm glad you got it fixed, as I will be opening another hub shortly.

Count me in as one of the impacted...

...although I paid it under the assumption that it was somewhat demand-driven, i.e. when an airport is at a premium and gate space (supply is limited), price goes up. Perhaps, then, this isn't a bug...?

You are correct, that is how it works now. Instead of a flat fee for certain airports it is a demand driven fee.

Having said that the data was incorrect for hubs , 700 million just to hub a few gates is too much :) This has now been fixed.

Hi guys. I too am having aircraft delievery and money reimbursement problems.
Yesterday I ordered 2x Tu204s and 2x 747-400s.
I received the 747s but not the Tu204s.
Today I have had to sell my 747s but I have only received reimbursement for 1.
By my calculations I am $70million short on the Tu204s and $188million short on the Boeing.

Maybe I am missing something, but when I started my Philadelphia hub, I thought it said like it would cost me like 1-2 million, but instead it cost me 40. Is this the correct figure, or am I misunderstanding the way startup costs are done.

Do you remember the game-month when you build the hub in Philli? Would be easier to trackd down the numbers :)

No, sorry I don't remember exactly how long ago it was, though I think it was within the past two weeks real time, so I guess within the past 14 months game time.

I am not sure how it lays out the expense sheet for you, but I only have one hub so if you see any entry indicating building a hub, that would be the one.

I wish I could be of more help.

Will there be any refunds for hubs created when the calculations were incorrect?

Hi guys,
Im in Western Australia. My game came back on over 24hrs ago but I am having several problems.
Is the game still down and I should leave it a while longer?
Or is it running but there are small problems that you should know about?
Regards Terry.:)

It is up and running but you probably notice that when you create a route it will show zero percent on the routes page. I am noticing that some routes after about 0 to 15 minutes update to normal load factor and profits. This was already discussed in previous forums. Have you tried using http://ae.simulationcloud.net ?
