By the way, DeltaL-1011, I just realized that it might come off that I'm attacking you specifically but that's not what I'm intending. I'm saying in general. Sorry about that. Didn't realize it until I read back through the thread.

Now that we're at it can we say that the 777-300 can not fly 100miles less than the 777-300ER? And that an A330 needs 9000ft to take off, and not 7000? And that a runway doesn't need to be the MTOW roll lenght for an aircraft to be able to fly out of it (747's at SXM for example)

Can't look up A333 takeoff numbers while stuck sick in bed but the 777-200A's takeoff distance at MTOW is on the low side.

Like I'm flying TPAC from MDW with 772As

I'm not entirely sure if this has been mentioned in another post about this. 

 

The inflation levels are set to 2013 now or were set to 2013 levels and are now set to 2017 levels? If so has the default air fare been increased accordingly too? 

 

Another thing I'd kind of like to see implemented - no idea how easy it would be: Adjust for no inflation by increasing the default airfare significantly in the 50s. $350 across the Atlantic in the 50s is equivalent to over $3,500 today. It's just something that bugs me. Maybe it could be offset by dividing global demand by 7 then in each decade it could increase but 1/7 until at today's level. The opposite could be done for pricing, the base line price of today is increased by 923% in the 50s. Each decade it decreases by 132% until at current standard levels. 

 

It's just an idea I'd like to suggest because it seems simpler than a detailed inflation/demand system overhaul. A stopgap measure if you like until (if) development starts again.

I 1000% agree with you, great minds think alike: http://www.airline-e...djusted-demand/

You know, Northern , you really broke the game. Did you move the fares up to 2017 numbers before changing the aircraft leases to 2017 numbers? If not, that explains alot. If you did change both numbers to 2017 numbers, my apologies.

 

Irks me that you have such poor data management and didn't make the base ticket prices and leases rise together. That is data management 101. Come on!

 

My previous points in this thread about recoding the game still stands, but I seriously think you made it worse. 

 

Like seriously, why are you a DC anymore? You are never active 99% and then you come back after 6-12 months do stupid stuff like this. Its time for you to go or get a reeducation. 

 

This is going to cause a proliferation of spamliners, rather than keeping them at bay. People are going to have to max out hours to make any profit on certain routes. I'm seeing that in my tests in the sandbox world. 

it's almost hilarious that time after time, you continue to attack the AE staff even though the game is free and is already pretty good

 

also, here's an unrelated question: you've continued to make unsubstantiated (at least AFAIK) claims that this game is easily exploitable using client-side tools. may we see some evidence of this?

You know I've pulled some bull**** in my time on AE.

But I have to say with several notable exceptions, AE has probably one of the worst communities out there.

God help your souls, it's time for me to burn my PHP textbooks.
