this is what i have so far.

 

 

better plane replacement/substitution/allocation

 

-the ability to quickly order replacement planes from inside each individual plane "general information" page.  so basically once ordered and delivered it'll replace that plane immediately (possibly even get a pm).  anything to make this area of the game easier (less tedious) would be a plus

 

 

better interface

 

 

-add engine models to fleet table (so i can  identify between 2 different 767-200's at a glance instead of clicking 1 by 1)

 

-add monthly profit to aircraft fleet table

 

-add hours available to each general information plane page

 

-instead of just checkboxes everywhere add row selection (ctrl click)

 

-all tables should ascend and descend on sorting (not just ascend)

 

-route abrevs in alphabetical order (albuquerque ABQ is mid on the drop down)

 

-browse airports should be alphabetical

 

-ability to sort any column on the expiring leases tab (age, profit, type, not just by date)

 

-when clicking on page 700 of the all routes table then click PHX my tables blank, table should reset to page 1 so all PHX routes appear (aircrafts page same deal) 

 

-add pin buttons in more places  (market research pages, possibly even browse airports table on routes you've made connections on at least)

 

-ability to view your aircrafts still on order (with 400 planes on order you need to be able to see all that)

 

-pending aircraft deliveries page should tell me more about which exact type of plane being delivered (engine at least)

 

 

-day to day financial sheet or at the very least projected gains and losses (i want to know exactly how much is being paid on the 1st and 15th especially)

 

-terminals should take longer to build than instantaneously (50 gates instantaneously really? POPPYCOCK!)

 

-o yea and add firey plane crashes, i keed i keed

 

 

apologize in advance if any of this already exists in the manner stated.

Automated plane replacal would be a disaster for AE, allowing spam lines to easily change say a 757 to an A380. Also it further reduces user interaction and created an unrealistic vibe as after all planes don't magically swap routes.

Crashes are unrealistic for AE and would have dire consequences as they are random, also they aren't frequent in the real world.

Monthly profit can be displayed for an aircraft by opening it's page, or you can change your settings to display things in a monthly fashion, also do you realise some of the unnecessary workload your suggestions would put on the servers after all AE is a free game lead by a group of people donating their time to create this game, it's not going to be 100% perfect as nothing ever is however it is one of if not the best in the market.

Nicely said Northern.

Most of these 'improvements' would make the game worse, others are just complicated things to save 30 seconds.

Most of these are already available in-game.

Browse airports in in order of 'importance' (my word) or number of pax through the doors (official). So the further down the list you choose the less passngers you can expect. SOOOOO much better and useful than alphabetical

That's how it already is?

I've got an idea. We could have a world where aircraft are delivered instantly.

KJS, i was telling him how it is and why it shouldn't be changed IMO

Why do these people even want alphabetical order? Zweibrücken is just as good as Aalborg. It seems a bit pointless…

Just a thought. No to crashes as they're very rare and not worth the dev time (IMO) but how about faults, that randomly cause a flight to be delayed or cancelled. Or weather fronts that cause airports to close for a day, etc.

I like this idea, but there's two problems:
- Wait for time tabling
- Are aircraft with 20 hour util allowed to exceed it as a result of delays?

How about a feature to install winglets on all aircraft at once. Even 50 aircraft would make your hand cripple if you have to open each airplane ID and click on install winglets menu
