Miller made a few test this in Beta before it was released.
What you just reported is known or well I hope Miller did read the reports placed within the Staff Section of the forum.
The whole script is stupid and should be scraped. As it is so unreal to the real world it is a joke.
Yes the Terminal issues also are noted.
Plus a lot more that I am sure you will post in this forum before too long.
We have talked about the issues with the script and other items in Sim2 many times already. I was hoping the beta would have been frozen and shut down, rather than reset. But, it gives everyone a chance to test it out anyways. At this point, I'd be happy with keeping the script that we have running in (Sim1?) the main game and using the additional features of Sim 2 (airports, route research, etc.).
