Try logging out completely for about 5 to 10 minutes or so then log in back...this is how I was told by one player when I was raising this concern. All my routes are doing well. If a warning comes out but am still doing well I wouldn't change it only if I could see that am gonna be making more then I edit it and adjust...


You don't need to logout completely. All you need to do is recalculate the route and it should be fine, which is what I have found out experimenting.

You can also play old sim 1 retro style and manually price the routes to get them 100%LF which is what I do on some routes. Marketshare is more important to me than net profit but you play how you want ;-)

Uhm, the lf-bugs are fixed now, aren't they?

So the last week the routeserver was using the wrong script (which is corrected now), with this the following bugs are fixed:

- Multiple frequency had never ever better profits than a single roundtrip
- Projected revenues and calculated one were very different
- Manual priced routes were corrected in pricing by the system

These are the main issues and they are fixed (but yeah, you have to set your manual prices again - but they won't be touched any longer by the server).

All other issues related too "hey a route between x and y brings now profit, and between a and b it's too much" I won't fix. Why? It's simple: David is implementing a fully new load script, it's in beta as you know. With this in mind I won't invest much time to tweak the old script - this makes no sense if you throw away the old script in few weeks.

To come back to topic: I just a saw code that there disabled for a strike-feature. I just want to check if such a feature is a wish of the users and if I should add it to the "upcoming"-list or if I can remove the code :P

Keep in mind: If I ask "whats about a feature xy?" doesn't mean "hey folks, integrating this soon" - I want to get a feedback if I should invest time in such a feature later or not. Just want to sort out things (and in the current case: I just scanning the code right now to clean it up and remove unused parts).


a couple of things:

1. From the US, one-way international route creation gives me back negative profits. Then if reset gives me under $40k. This through DFW to Asian and EU main cities. I auto priced and manually priced. Same result. A/c to be used A346.

2. The strike feature should not be a simple implementaion. One would have to manually have a scale to which level of salary based off of Regional average and size of company. And strikes should only happen if the wages are to low versus the profit level of the company and the regional airline average or something of the sort. If your like British Airways and have the some of the best paying salaries you should never get a strike. If you Airline is doing poorly vs the national avg., then you should be able to slide the bar down to a pay cut level. A feature like the load factor should give you a preview on the happiness of your employees.

3. Accidents should be be based of various things. Like the NBA lottery, more point your airline accumulates in a month on the following below, the higher the chance for a crash, it should be random and calculated on a couple of things.
---a.Real life statistics on the reliability of an a/c.
---b.The above stated wage level. Which would be used as a maintenance level indicator. But even the best maintenance airline has a small chance of crashing.
---c.fleet size, larger fleet higher chance.
---d.an a/c can crash in a airline only once a every 4 months.
---e.1 crash a month in the ae sim, unless certain airlines are deemed doomed and are not even close to par then a/c should be dropping out of the sky like flies.
---f.if airline is on strike and fly's it airplane, the a BIG chance of failure feature.
---g.the older the a/c the more chance. In brackets 0 - 4 years = 0.5% chance, 5 - 9 = 10% chance etc...

without it being thought through, please dont put the crash feature.

Oh is there a Aircraft similarity, i cant think of the word, when all aircraft are from the same manuafacturer, maintenance cost are lower.... Ah commonality feature, the more a/c from the same manufacturer a percentage off of maintenance of those a/c is lowered and even more from the same engine manufacture and even more model of engine. That would be real world, there.

I do have an account in sim 1 but I rarely open it since manually adjusting the fare gives me a headache...lol especially if the route has been overlysaturated...but am enjoying it coz you get new planes in the market as the year progresses...wish this is also the same in sim 2 aircraft wise... :-)

What are the odds of a major airplane crash? By the time the first crashes come around, it won't even hurt the bigger airlines.

I do not like the plane crash idea. That should be the last thing on anyones mind. This hits to close to home and if you are not in the airline industry you have no clue how much we prepare for this and how much it effects every employee from the CEO down to a simple cleaning agent. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not add a crash feature. I can deal with anything else but this.
