That you don't understand why The Empire would never fly this route explains why you can't approach The Emperor, despite the numerous times We've disclosed our methods. 

Can I ask you what you underlying intentions are? Are you simply looking to accrue as many trophies as possible?

Lol the majority of actively managed airlines can hit (virtually) unlimited money quite quickly in this game anyway

I have had it happen when using multiple tabs to lease aircraft or install tabs. I was moving through the tabs faster than the server could keep up. 

Yeah its definitely just a littler server side glitch, I wouldn't worry about it

Have you tried placing all your idle planes on routes between two of your hubs and setting the prices to $1? Because I don't think ANYONE has the time/capability of dealing with thousands of planes realistically.

Kinda on board with you about this though I generally don't support it. Its very easy to get to a point where you have too many aircraft, too many orders and it doesn't really matter if you aren't optimizing anymore. It's much more efficient to dump aircraft on a certain route and let them accumulate some profit, with the added benefit of making yourself immune to competition on that route.

There's also a question of at what point do you demarcate legitimate competitive behaviour and spamlining. Bit difficult to come up with hard and fast rules about it.

Congrats on implementing the updates folks. Are there any other projects in the pipeline or is this it for the foreseeable future?

Not to denigrate the work that was done here, realistic demands adds a lot to the quality of gameplay.

Yeah otherwise your best bet would be to wait for an entire fleet to make it onto the market, due to an airline being shuttered from inactivity.

Depending on the airline's size you could probably get a bunch of 8-10 year old aircraft of the same type and engine setup.

There is VATSIM and FSeconomy so maybe AE sould make a virtual airline game using Flight simulators like maybe Xplane 11 or FSX. Tell me what you think about that!

There actually used to be a handful of these the better part of a decade ago. Not very good and not very comprehensive, but there were a handful of VAs with probably one or two dozen members. It was like 80% FSX and the rest XPLANE.

No ATC or anything but at least a couple of virtual trip logs with screenshots. Probably somewhere in the archives but not worth sifting through eight or so years of post for.

This would be a hell of a lot of fun if airline expenses scaled realistically with size.

Game might be dead but it lasted for maybe a decade with volunteer developers. That's pretty impressive.
