It just seems as though the global recession has hit Airline Empires passengers as well....

Pretty tough not being able to fill up a Q400 for $50 a ticket from DFW to ATL....

Maybe mods can awnser that

Is the recession been added into the game ?

[mikhail]

good news everyone aside from the suspicion of recession having been incorporated in the game, which made it realistic as being the aim of the sim, my account is cheat-proof too. no matter how many times i swap planes if it was neg hjt will always be neg. dont ask me how...but that's good!

Cuz that makes sence

Worth mentioning is some weird calculations by the LF script. Not only does the plane swapping bug increase profit. Manual pricing can often allow a 10-50% increase in ticket price. Even when prices are calculated to allow 5% LF manually, creating the route at those higher ticket prices will bring some routes to 100% LF.

Not sure what to make of this other than it's somewhat of a bug. I think the LF script is out to lunch to some extent when comparing auto vs. manual pricing.

Oh that's not the best , the best is put a 747-200 on an atlantic route, you get with autopricing - 500k , yes minus ! Then swap it with a smaller plane for example MD11 then reset the price and then swap it back to a 747-200 BINGO 300k profit

A difference of 800k !

It's hilarious!

Don't worry. I just feel sorry for the passengers when they suddenly are in a different plane mid atlantic :sdrool:

[mikhail]

lol...it must be a riot up there!!!

Especially when the plane suddenly changes to an aircraft with fewer seats.
