Hi Chicken,

My son got me into this and some 10-days ago, I looked at your at your ranking, even during the day, you rate 2nd...$8,000.000.000+....2-hours later......$2,000.000.000

My friend, if you was in the real world, you wouldnt be CEO.....after 2-hours and 10min.......

Yes, and I agree on the $160 changing issue, but how do you work this out.

I fly one Beech FRA - NEW - Its now getting $46,000+ per route....

Not before the $160....

Proble is.....all the others have lost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well its fun....regards MMA

Life is fair because it is unfair to everyone...we ALL got messed up with this bug, but since we are ALL on even playing fields, there is no need for a reset. I personally have taken a hit of $150k DOP, which is a lot for my small airline, but I'm dealing with it. I'm slowly adjusting prices back to normal and rearranging routes. The probably will fix itself given some time as everyone readjusts their routes back to normal. Yes, some people will try to be funny and leave prices at $160, whether it is a bugged 160 or not, but if enough of us all just suck it up and bring prices back to normal, this will most likely correct itself. I'm just curious as to what happened in the first place that caused this and if it will be corrected so it won't happen again...

Well thats the thing they are wrong, the sever can't compute proper the data.

[mma]

Yes, and if you look at the rankings on Day 3 of any month....you will see (Like) "Chicken" go from 2nd to 15th........then day 4, either 1st or 2nd....

Compute !!!!!!!!!.........The BUG is all through this program....

[Yesthatsme]

There is no point in a Reset

[mma]

Well, I have read ALL messages and I now agree that in time, a new version will arrive, this whole program is (Cool) as my son said.....

So, in the meantime I will just play (Small Time) till the Bugs are given the Flick....

Therefore, I now VOTE NO to a reset, providing, the new version arrives in good time.

[mma]

Well here is the latest....

Rank Airline Valuation
10 Rubber Chicken Transport $3,163,448,579


March 2nd Year 5.....

Look at March 4th and he will be 1st or 2nd...

A nett gain of 10Billion

[Maestro69]

Its like finding a needle in a haystack!!!!

Honestly, the rankings at the moment would be the most accurate, even though i saw myself in 2nd place right after the month change just infront of Evergreen. But nevemind, guess i'll get there eventually!!!!!!!!

[mma]

So, only one day on in the Rankings and Poor Chicken has just went from 2Billion to a staggering 14Billion

WOW........

Ranking Value
2 Rubber Chicken Transport $14,672,516,870

March 4th Year 5

[Sunshine Airways CEO]

i think that has to do somewhat with the value added to the airline after an aircraft purchase

Are people really going to reset their prices?



People are not resetting their prices. I know it has only been a few days but why would someone reset their prices (I have for the most part). If you can make a route not profitable for the competition by charging $160, but reap the profits of charging $500, why would you change the price? On the better routes, it has same result as charging $1 but you don't suffer the losses.

In addition, profits are messed up. I was just trying to put a A340-600 on some long haul routes out of LGA - all of them without competition and to major airports with high gate rental fees. The result - very little profit. If I try to reset one of my routes, my profit is cut in half - with no competition. If I don't reset it, it stays at the pre-$160 snafu price.

For some odd reason, all of the prices got reset to $160. Is it unreasonable to think that something else got goofed up in the process?

Maybe the people who leave their prices @ 160 don't play the game anymore.

Will you lose your airline is you dont log on for a certain time?

Will you lose your airline is you dont log on for a certain time?

You lose your airline if your not on for two weeks.

[drv4truk]

No you don't. My son had an airline that is still around even though no one has logged into it for over 2 months. Also, a message was sent to Miller asking for the account to be closed/deleted and it is still showing up in the rankings. Too bad these airlines weren't being deleted like they should, it would save some on the server load.

[AirKevin]

Rainbow, some people who have their prices at 160 still are on vacation and have no knowledge of this bug. Others are hoping to drive people off routes.
