#53334 Name Changing

Posted by Kontio on 05 January 2008 - 11:26 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

I'm declaring bakruptcy because my main route was taken over by two other people (one of which is in my alliance =()

With friends like that, who needs enemies...

#55631 Used Beech

Posted by Kontio on 17 May 2008 - 07:27 PM in Bugs

I bought a used Beech 1900D from the used market. I placed my bid with a maximum price of 0 (testing what that would do, hoping to get a Beech immediately at any price, basically) and a Beech was immediately delivered with the price of -180,000 and I was charged slightly less than 6 million. The plane is still flying WAW-FRA (I have neither of those gates). This may be a bug?

#55680 Terminal gate leases

Posted by Kontio on 22 May 2008 - 06:19 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

can a person lease gates from their own terminal?

You mean lease them to other players? That is not possible.

#56988 Time

Posted by Kontio on 18 August 2008 - 07:08 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

is it possible to make it back to that?

No.

and what delivery time do we have now atm?

17:30 (my local time).

#57001 Time

Posted by Kontio on 19 August 2008 - 06:16 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

I can only assume the largest player base is in the USA so it really would make more sense to have the changeover during our nighttime (like Sim1... its at 10:00pm Eastern) so more people could be online during the changeover but its been early in the day for the last 2 rounds in Sim2 since it went to 1hr=1day.

Of course everyone wants the changeover time to be convenient to them, but since there are players all over the world the fair solution is to vary the changeover time from one game to another. That way everyone gets to have convenient changeover times and inconvenient changeover times. The other option would be to have a 30-hour month, for example, so that the changeover time would change from day to day.

#55602 Restart Errors

Posted by Kontio on 16 May 2008 - 06:25 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

My sim2 account has was reset today? And my sim 1 account still has not reset? Reasons?

Sim2 and Sim1 are independent games, only Sim2 was reset recently.

#53091 Not Again x.x

Posted by Kontio on 02 January 2008 - 05:22 PM in Bugs

Is this an isolated incident, or has this problem been recurring?

This has been quite frequent on recent rounds of the game.

#56953 how change airline`s name

Posted by Kontio on 16 August 2008 - 06:37 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

It is can, but only by declaring bankruptcy (starting the game again with 5 million cash and 2 planes). Then you will have the option of renaming your airline.

#53241 Rankings Page

Posted by Kontio on 04 January 2008 - 03:40 PM in Bugs

When i go on to the rankings page sometimes it shows me that im 8th but on my main page it shows im 29th, Is this a bug?:puzzled:

Yes, it is a known bug. The ranking of a player tends to depend on whether he/she is logged in or not.

#53189 Ultra noob question :(

Posted by Kontio on 03 January 2008 - 11:50 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

No, both sims require you to sign up separately, but you can use the same username/ password for both.

I used the same username/password and I have the same number (#12604) in both sim1 and sim2 so there must be some kind of connection there. I suppose you can use the same account or different account, as long as you run only one airline in sim1 and one airline in sim2.

#53185 Ultra noob question :(

Posted by Kontio on 03 January 2008 - 10:17 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

This 'sim2' will be reseted in jan5, so I thought it would be a good idea start a game from the begining too.. so, here is my dummy question: where is this game? I see no reference in airlineempires.net home page? :puzzled:

There's a menu on the top of the page. Select MANAGEMENT SIM, then LOGIN. On top is the login to sim1 (Original AE Game Server). Scroll down for Premuim Game Server (sim2). I think you can use the same username and password as for sim1.

#53193 Ultra noob question :(

Posted by Kontio on 03 January 2008 - 12:01 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Hmmm, did you sign up separately for both? I had to sign up separately for sim1 and sim2.

Maybe it depends on when you signed up in the first place? When sim2 was opened I was already playing sim1 and I just logged in to sim2 with my old username as soon as it was announced. If you started with the game later, you may have had to sign up separately for sim1 and sim2.

#55580 So how does the new used aircraft market work?

Posted by Kontio on 14 May 2008 - 03:57 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

I understand that you make bids to buy aircraft and offers to sell them. When a bid and an offer match, the system automatically executes the sale. This is how I have always thought it should be. What I don't understand is how am I supposed to do business if I can't see the bids and offers anywhere? It is just showing the values of the aircraft, which is rather pointless. What I want to see is what is the highest bid and the lowest offer at the moment, and also the second and third best offers, if possible. I also want to see the price of the latest sale for any given airplane. The whole idea with a stock market type system is that all this information is public.

So am I missing something here, is the information available somewhere? What do I have to do to sell my Beeches?

#56481 Can't edit list price

Posted by Kontio on 14 July 2008 - 03:44 PM in Bugs

I want sale a aircraft (B 707)
Now I have a price 82'000'000 and i would change this price, but there isn't an edit button.. what can/should I do?

Take it off the market and put it back with the new price.

#52706 Add countries in "Gate rental negotiations"

Posted by Kontio on 19 December 2007 - 10:12 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Would it be possible to add the state and country to the city name in "Gate rental negotiations"? This information should be available in the game database as it is shown when selecting the city pair in "Research route".

#52674 LF 100% with autoprice

Posted by Kontio on 18 December 2007 - 11:32 PM in Bugs

I have hubbed DTW and am flying to big cities and small cities with big planes and small planes. After opening the hub I have noticed that autoprice tends to make the loadfactors go all the way to 100%, which is kind of nice but somehow seems wrong. When I first create a route it gives a more realistic loadfactors, but when I open more routes the older routes sort of creep up to 100% LF. Not all routes, but most of them.

Looking at the route information pages with the pie charts of routes with 100% LF I notice something weird. For example, DTW-ALB with 1X ATR-42, it says:

O&D passengers 70%
Connecting passengers 30%
Unused capacity 61%

O&D + connecting is always 100% and then there is additional unused capacity. That can't be right, or is it just a problem with the chart?

#52576 Sort feature not working

Posted by Kontio on 17 December 2007 - 08:50 AM in Bugs

The sort feature is not working in the newly opened sim2. Just bumping the thread if this could be fixed. Thank you!

#52670 Error message while buying off the used market

Posted by Kontio on 18 December 2007 - 10:24 PM in Bugs

I bought a Beech on the public market and received the following error message:

Warning: fopen(sale_log.csv): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/airlinee/public_html/sim2/buy_used_ac.php on line 298
Error writing to log.

I did receive the aircraft, though.

#52673 Disproportionate demand in sim2

Posted by Kontio on 18 December 2007 - 11:15 PM in Bugs

I'm flying DTW to DEC (Decatur, IL) with a 739 and autoprice gives me ticket price $1,197.00 for one daily flight and a a nice profit correspondingly. This seems really disproportionate compared to other nearby little airports I am flying to which barely make any money with a Beech. I actually checked the Decatur airport web page and their only scheduled flight is to STL twice daily on a Beech 1900
