We should also add crashes to increase the realism of the game. I believe that would be fun... it would make it somewhat more entertaining.

and somewhat more violent. I believe this idea has popped up multiple times.

[Oliy.]

fox your fleet seems to do that a lot, or at least crash at some point!

I would think that it would make a huge difference in game pace if chance of crash was linked to maint and flight hours. Run the plane at max ratio for years on end and have 75% chance of a crash. Link that to a drop in pax after the crash across the board for that airline to simulate the public avoiding an unsafe airline. They would have to regain the public trust to maintain the higher rates.

But then this is where you would have to add maintenance into the game for this to happen. Even if you wanted to add crashes to the game, there is still that 1 in a 1,000,000,000 chance that a crash will occur. Aircraft today are just to well built and maintained ( in most countries) that it takes a freak of nature or unfortunate mishap to bring a plane down. You have a higher chance of getting run over by a car than being in a plane crash. Just my $.02

Which would mark the end of Low Quality Airlines

*cough* ryanair *cough*

they have had one or two minor incidents and they are still fine. Others have had major incidents and they are fine: air Colgan, Southwest, every russian airline etc. etc.

NO! I play OpentTTD and whenever a crash happens, the airport shuts down and puts my company in catastrophic failure that takes almost 10 OpenTTD years to fix.

I've lost over 55,000,000 when that stuff happens. Don't make it here!

Yay, another OTTD player!

If we ever do add crashes, I wouldn't make it like that because it's not realistic. In real life when an incident occurs, an airline doesn't suddenly lose 90% of its customers in most cases.

Airplane is the safest means of travel these days, youre more likely to crash you car going to the airport than your plane going down, also they have the lowest casualty:crash ratio

[Hake.]

I think it might make it fun. What about Al Queda hijackings? If you want realistic thats what you'd want

[Hake.]

Or what about ash clouds? it wouldn't cause much damage and it would make it more real.

[Kirkland]

I'd say against adding "Hull loss" Crashes
Less severe "Tyre popped", "Autopilot broke", "FMC Rickrolled me" Type incidents would be interesting, but I'd rather not have to worry about them all the time.

Same with me. Why not things that lower like tiny bits of your reputation.

[ar157]

Closure of airports due to natural disaster.

That would work well with this suggestion

[Hake.]

That's even less realistic than other crashes, there's far more Accidents then there are hijackings.

I'd like to see the Ash cloud from a bit back simulated.

The ash cloud would be a bit funny yes. One week without flights. People making massive profits would suffer too. Not that I'm in favour of massive losses

[Airbus A320]

I think ash clouds and natural disasters would work really well

that is kind of what it is like on airline manager on face book you get random minor incedents like panal failures or birds strikes about say 4 or 5 tumes give or take per about 250flights which you have to fix but not too often

After a jet crashes at least make an option to replace it. A aircraft with 20 routes crashes. Big prob.......

low utilisation of fleet should mean there should be spares.
