In Topic: Is Labour shortage theme game too difficult?

08 November 2011 - 07:01 PM

I found the game to be tough in the beginning. Just due to slower growth. But once I got rolling along. It just started grow big time. I kept my payroll close to normal. No frowns for any of the different trades. Had a couple smirks here and there. But pretty much kept the employees neutral.

I think some of it may be they see they can't overtake the leaders with the time left. So they just let it go. Since the game is so short its probably not the game they are concentrating on. I like the theme games though. Nice change from the longer games.

You want to know?
ATR-42-600s
717-200s
737-300s.

GOod aircraft, all my other routes using them are fine.


I just had a fuel problem with an ATR charging $18,306 for ATL-MIA leg in the 3.1 theme game (each leg for all the flights on that route). First time it has happened in this theme game. After re-saving the prices it went back down to $2,550 which is the normal fuel rate. The route went from a $90,000 proffit to a $15,000 loss on a route that was 100% full. After re-saving it went back to a $90,000 proffit. So the fuel problem is alive and still kicking around.

That just implies you have have crap routes?


Sorry Nashville to Toronto is not a crap route. And he has 100% in all 3 zones and is losing 200k a day on the flight. This is an issue like some of us have had with fuel. It gets way out of proportion for the aircraft flying the trip. It will start out just fine. But something happens and the fuel is recalculated at a much higher rate. I had ATR's burning same fuel as a 737 on similar distance routes.

I finally quit the game I was having the most issues with. Tired of dealing with it. At the time I was #3 I think. So it was a well established airline in that game. Not crap routes. I have not noticed it in any of the 3.1 games I am in now (only games playing).

My airline was growing fast and the routes are good, but suddenly (i pressed F5 in the routes page) all my routes on the Embraer 110-2 Bandeirante has a negative profit due to fuel costs. For example, in a route (CNF-AAX)with approximately 200 miles of distance, on a aircraft with 21 seats and a fuel flow of app. 800, i had a profit of 1,200 by day, and after I spent 5,000 with fuel and had -12,000 profit. :/ so I bankrupt, because I was with negative cash before it...


Just hit save on the pricing page for each route (that has incorrect fuel costs). The fuel flows will reset. At first I thought you had to move planes around. Then changed prices. I now have found out. If the fuel costs get out of sync. Just his save in your pricing block. It will reset them. It's a pain in the behind. But it will get them back in line. But it will not stop it from happening in other routes. Just have to keep monitoring your routes. And catch it before it gets too far out of hand.
