I have had a couple of idea's for the next sim2 reset, would it be possible to add first class ticket prices??? Another thing is that the routes on sim2 are not realistic, like, Detroit-Flint, Northwest flies that route in A320's and make a good amount of money, but on the game it has a negative revenue, same with Detroit to Roanoke. And another idea was if it is possible to put more planes on sim2 like the MD series (MD-11, MD-80, MD-90, DC-10, etc), DC-8's, Saab 340's, etc.???


Thanks,

1) That won't be around for a long while.
2) Yes, the LF script is way off. Don't complain.
3) We have almost all the requirements for entering the planes into service, but only miller can implement this.

I would like to see airlines required to "build" their route structure, as opposed to jumping to different continents.

And set the aircraft up so that when you drop a route or change aircraft, the game forces you to update any additional routes that the initial aircraft was on

example:

DFW-IAH
IAH-SAN
SAN-ELP

If you drop the IAH-SAN then the aircraft should not be able to fly SAN-ELP and the game should either advise you of pending route cancellations or offer route suggestions to maintain either the DFW-IAH or SAN-ELP route.

I'm also curious about the way hubs work. In looking at the top 15 airlines in ranking there are more than 175 gates in use at ATL (which I believe only has 190ish gates to begin with) I'd love to see a list of the airports with the number of gates in use at each. I'll bet through 400 airlines on AE that ATL probably has over 300 gates. Maybe airlines should have to bid on hubs, rather than just building them because they have the money or specify domestic or international gates when leasing/building gates...

more gates...when you have the early airlines who end up hogging all of the big money-making city gates it becomes a torture to expand

I agree, it costs nearly $70,000,000 just to build them, then an additional 35,000,000 to purchase them.

hmmm, info has been removed

Another thing i've noticed in sim2 is when you open a route, 95% of the time it has 0% load factor, no matter how low you price it.

Look at mustang sallys route map thats structured ???

We need multiple servers! Having every airline clamoring on one "world" is absolute madness! And maybe have servers focus exclusively on one continent or region, for example only Europe flights or only North American flights.

Yes you are quite right in saying multi-servers, however, AE is a One-Man-Opperation) run from a house and little funds to keep it going.

Find Miller a few spare $100k and he may be able to advance with your suggestion.

making waiting times for planes shorter
the big airlines feel the need to fill up the order books so the little guys cant get any :@

:puzzled: Please read the FAQ. Each airline only receives 2 aircraft per manufacturer per month. With 30 aircraft + 10% of the order books being delivered on a monthly basis, this means that at least 15 different airlines will receive the orders they have placed.

We have tried the immediate delivery from the order books and all it does is speeds the expansion of the larger airlines. This means the smaller airlines get shut out of the game by the time they go to get gates or make routes.
