I don't know if this has been discussed before but i think there are easy ways to implement stuff likes service levels and number of seats in an airliner .
1 . Number of seats .
When buying the aircraft u simpley choose how much seats u want ur aircraft to carry . The option is easy , u just choose between low density , medium one or high density . Each configuration costs an adjusted amount of money . The less seats the more passengers are willing to pay but the higher seat cost u have . The less seats , the less u can charge ur passengers due to lower seat costs . The demand for comfort or low prices depends on region , airport and lenght of the flight .
If u buy an aircraft and then want to change it's configuration then u can do this simpley by buying a new configuration . U need to pay extra for this new seats . The costs is then double of the one when buying new aircraft .

2. Service levels
The service levels works in the same way . When adjusting the price for a route u choose ur service level , either high , medium or low . The higher the service the more it costs u but the more passengers are willing to pay . The lower the service , the less u can charge ur passengers .

Buy implenting this stuff u then have a stable difference between lowcost and high service airlines and then the every airline has it's own charakter and way and loadfactors aren't only depending on the lowest price .

Not like the loadfactor script isn't bugged enough due to complexity already... *rolls eyes*, no but i think this might be a good idea in due time.

The less seats the more passengers are willing to pay but the higher seat cost u have . The less seats , the less u can charge ur passengers due to lower seat costs .


Huh? That made no sense.

When buying a new airliner u choose the Airliner , then u choose the engines (all have different prices) then u choose the seat configuration . These also have a certain price . Then u order the aircraft

When u want to change the configuration of the aircraft later aftre purchasing then u must at first remove the old seats then insert the new seats . The cost of this is the double the one of the original seat configuration purchase . AS u have to remove and the insert u pay the double price . Get my point ?

Sounds good, it might be easier on Miller to have it fixed like the above.

still will probably need lots of bandwidth and coding changes and new formulas in the LF and profit calculation .... which would take a long time...

oh and might not have the bandwidth to add this in above the other stuff he is.

yes, there are some features.. but you have to prioritize the stuff... so that you dont waste in on ideas that are not needed....
