Yea , I'm happy so far.

And glad the swap plane feature has been taken out!

1. May need to close the existing route and open it again. I did that with one of my routes and it recalculated the profits and went to 100% LF.
2. U gotta remember that airports that cost less, will result in lower than expected profits. So dont expect just because u got a Q400, it will stimulate demand and result in nice ticket prices and profits.

We all kinda know how the last round worked. The Q400 in a short route is often a bad idea for connections. Low cost airports do not always result in low profits. In fact in the last round I could make 100k on only 3 routes from SDQ with a B1900D and E135 (earning about 4 times the cost of the gate). Expensive airport are most likely the gamble, because if you find a lot of competition, it is most likely that you spent big bucks for nothing (and have to return the gates). And yes most of us tried opening the route again.

Unfortunately, we had to reset the game again because some players had 3-4 aircraft already (either because of cheating by opening multiple airlines and funneling aircraft or happening to find one on the used market). Either way this is unfair for the other players, so I have put in a restriction on selling aircraft in the first month.

We are having a problem with the LF after the reset...

Yea that happens at first, it seems to fix itself after more players come back in.

[weestrer]

Got ya. thanks i know before the reset i was making good money on the same routes now most of them are negative.

[vicentor]

Good to know. I had accidentally sold my Q-400.

I Hope that we ( the users ) have 24hours time to plan our airline...before start

6 of 7 routes have a Load Factor with a max of 45%.....

where are the passengers??

Before the second reset I have a daily profit of 420 000$...now I only have 25 000$....

The countdown timer on the main page in the game says 1 day and 40 minutes right now.

The same thing happened before the second reset. Just wait a while and re-update the routes and they should be fine.

[clock1]
Be sure to set up your initial routes. Good luck!

Can anybody see the right countdown timer?

@Yuxi:
Used Airplanes can by before start?

The timer runs on javascript, so if you have some kind of scriptblocker it won't show up.

Selling planes is no longer allowed during the first month, so I doubt you'd find very many on the market

[Chaostah]

well since I can't see it can you tell us at what time it will start?

[Yuxi]

Monday at 7:00PM UTC (3pm Eastern time)

[flightsimer]

buying planes during first month was part of the game...

but anyways, the LF is BAD, im at a -21k when before i had been at +7000, and thats just after one airline has come on a route of mine... my highest load factor is 44%

my one route's ticket is only $36 between 2 major cities... something just isnt right there...

If you set your routes, dont bother about the LF said factor and leave it for a few hours and log back in and re-adjust the routes you will find that those negitives will vanish.

I did this and as more players join, the better the LF becomes.

[vicentor]

I agree, try buying regional planes with high passenger capacity for medium haul routes. I am already the launch customer for the ERJ-190. The Embraers for me are like the best planes for starters, If my airline succeeds i'll probably have an all embraer fleet. Don't worry too much about the LF it will go up, just watch out for competition.

thanx yuxi

[Chaostah]

flight simmer... i logged back after 8 hours and readjusted all my routes (many have new competition) and my profits still DOUBLED

[Chaostah]
