The new background process (which I rewrote over the past week) that manages day changes, airline reputation, payroll management, and employee morale is now in field testing in all 3 beta worlds:

  • A day change now takes around 18 seconds to complete, a 90+% speed improvement. This means no more time getting stuck at the end of the month and fewer 500 internal server errors! :clap:
  • Employee hiring and attrition is now back in full force, so don't be surprised if you experience a surge in payroll expenses.
  • Airline reputation, employee counts, morale, and rankings are now updated once per game day
  • The financial health part of airline reputation should now change over time.
  • Credit rating penalties for missing lease and bond payments have been vastly reduced. Credit rating growth is now calculated monthly and is proportional to your profit for the month.
Even though I've done extensive internal testing before implementing this new system in the beta worlds, there may be some unforeseen bugs and malfunctions. If you see anything out of the ordinary with this update, please post a descriptive error report below. :)

:cheers:


Update 1: It has come to my attention that marketing costs were previously calculated incorrectly (too low). The marketing costs charged now are the correct figures (% of sales revenue you chose, paid daily).
Update 2: Employee attrition fixed. It was retiring the monthly quota of employees daily, so training costs went through the roof. I've issued a mass refund for the past 30 days of employee training costs.
Update 3: Some airlines (who have never saved their marketing settings) were missing daily ticket revenue. This problem has been fixed, and I've issued a mass refund of 30 days worth of revenue (for the affected airlines only).

When scheduling a new route it gets stuck on the green 'please wait' message. If I refresh, I see all 0's for the flight data....very strange. I'm also seeing the rankings from the other world.
I have traveled on: Airbus A300, A310, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330-200, -300, A340-200, -300; ATR-72, BAe Systems 146-200, Avro RJ 70; Boeing 717, 737-200, -200C, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800, 767-200, -200ER, 300, -300ER, 747-400, -400M; Bombardier CRJ-200, -700, -900; Cessna 404, C208 Grand Caravan, Citation Bravo, Citation Ultra; de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 Otter, DHC-6 Twin Otter, DHC-8 Dash 8-100, -200, -300, -400; Douglas DC-9-50, Embraer EMB-120, ERJ-170, -190; Fairchild Dornier Do-228, Fokker F28, McDonnell-Douglas MD-83, -88, -90; Piper Cherokee, Raytheon Beech 18, 1900D, King Air

I have to agree. Also in AE 3.1 Beta - Realistic World (1990-2030) (20 min / day) the ranks and daily profits aren't showing up!:(

Thanks,

I'm playing in the beta 1970-2010 and I've noticed a major decrease in demand in every route. And I'm talking about a decrease of about 1/3 of the previous demand (as early as yesterday I believe) I was just curious about what was the reason for this, is this a consequence of this update or is it something else?

I'm working on it - should be done by the end of the week.

That might be due to a bugfix involving the international-ness of a route, which would decrease demand on international by about 25%.

I've still experienced a drop in demand in domestic routes though.

Ok, thats probably it then. Major pain your causing me here Yuxi, since 99% of my routes are international and I had them all tunned to precision. This now messes up all my routes and aircraft orders. For example, I had just received 20 743s and ordered 15 744s and I already had a bunch of routes ready for them but now they are just too much capacity for any route! But afterall, this is Beta, so I can't complain :innocent: And I must admit it's much more realistic this way. Thanks for the reply!

I have been adjusting demand at many of the US airport which would explain the demand drop.
