R5 which is said to be real world game never look like a real world game. Does in real world airlines are allowed to have more than 30-40 frequencies on one route?

Most airlines to top the game and to fill there planes are using 60 and above frequencies in one route. What is this, what is going on 60+ frequencies? There should be some restriction over frequencies because it is not allowing other airlines to open routes . These airlines should be banned, seriously. To have more no of aircrafts does not mean to use one entire aircraft on one route.

Moreover by fixing the frequency rate aircrafts purchase will also reduce which will add more realistic in the game.

People to increase their fleet size to 1000+ are dumping routes with a lot of frequencies.


In my view such airlines should be removed from the game

Yes!

Put this in perspective... In real life, Alitalia have 400x weekly on FCO-LIN

People spend a lot of time building these airlines. Theres nothing wrong with large airlines in my opinion.

But it is going to ruin the game as only 5-6 airlines will be controlling the whole game. Moreover as per i know there is only loss on such frequencies, then also they go on increasing the frequencies.

No, there are always wonderfully profitable markets smaller airlines can run out of. And how do you know these routes only lose if you are against them?

What? you make no sense

Many city pairs in the real world have 30+ daily (210+ weekly) frequencies. Take HOU-DAL for example. Some Japanese routes are the same, except with 767s and 777s instead of 737s on HOU-DAL. I remember responding to a similar complaint before.

In your view, successful airlines (given the game's parameters) should not be allowed. There are millions of possible route combinations in the game - try looking beyond the trunk routes, which are (and will always be) overcrowded.

30x weekly all of a sudden doesn't seem so crazy.

You don't have to be numero uno to enjoy playing AE. All you need to do is set yourself reasonable objectives. You can build a profitable airline without flying from any of the worlds major airports. Want to fly from London then try London Stanstead or even London City. You can build on that and if necessary raise your sights.

It is easier in the theme games as you don't really have to plan ahead too far, no major need for fleet replacement for example. The long term games are more challenging but I suggest you practise on the shorter game and find a niche market.

Personally I like to try new countries. USA, UK, Switzerland, India, China have run succesful airlines ioperating from all these countries. The important thing is to enjoy the game you play.
