#60076 Please fix the lack of profits problem-Sim2 No longer playable

Whilst it was great to make $15m a day and buy two A333s a month out of the cashflow, that was unrealistic. It's far more realistic now in terms of returns.
I would agree that there should be some scope for profitability on the thinner routes when using the right a/c. For example, DEL-BOM should be a major route, but is barely profitable with an A319. Most mahor Indian routes just about support one ATR42!
The LFs on the major routes are pretty good I think, but we need more scope on the thinner ones.
Also, in reality, overheads would be much higher so we benefit there at the moment. Where we depart from reality is that a/c monthly lease payments should be possible. That way we don't have to buy from cashflow.
There is a great deal to be gained from developing the Alliance concept. If that was able to boost LFs (albeit at reduced seat revenue), we were able to rent single slots from gates held by partners and were able to lease a/c between alliance partners that would boost the realism, and make the game even more fun.
The used a/c facility is brilliant if you use it properly. The reality is that it works best early in the game. I doubt you would be competitive in the real world running your DC-9-40 head to head with an A318! Cheap to buy, expensive to maintain and fly.
As I've said before, Sim2 is being developed and we are somewhat privileged to take part in the development. Plus, it's free. Great work guys (and gals I presume). Keep up the good work.

Terrorist? That's a bit extreme..
honestly, sounds like to me u had no competition on some routes and now u are trying to deem this as an excuse. With competition, comes lower prices and lower profits. Sim1, u need a strong hub to compensate for this and it can happen.
I say just keep playing along and keep improving those routes.
It's what this game (and indeed being in business) is all about. Michael O'Leary and Ryanair aren't in the Korean market yet. They would come in at £1.00 a ticket and steal the market :sniff:
#58200 Sim 2 Privatly Selling Planes
Posted by Orion1982 on 05 November 2008 - 03:47 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)
To be honest you are probably better off squeezing every last bit of profit out of them rather than trying to sell, but that's just my opinion!
On two separate notes:
1. Load factors seem very low this time. Last game you struggled to dip below 100% even quite late on. This time they all seem much lower. Is that soemthing that has been fixed for realism?
2. How do I change the name of my airline? I use the BOAC logo as I wish to trade as BOAC (ah the nostalgia!) but am still registered as Inter Alia.
Thanks
