#112863 Congestion Penalty.

Posted by Delta787 on 19 May 2012 - 02:56 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Flooding routes to that degree is not realistic, but the root cause is that large AE airlines are wealthy enough to do that and bleed cash on a route indefinitely, and many are willing to do so to get competitors off certain routes. This fundamental problem is something we're aiming to fix in AE 4 :P


Yes! An end coming to airlines that flood the major airports with 112x weekly flights. (I think I saw that for an airline somewhere in AE, but can't remember where.)


#112522 R3 Reset

Posted by Delta787 on 15 May 2012 - 10:10 PM in Announcements

Never mind, I found it. Instead of Atlanta Hartsfield it is now Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta and found it in the H section. :/ Disregard. Thanks


#112514 R3 Reset

Posted by Delta787 on 15 May 2012 - 09:20 PM in Announcements

Okay that is great but what happened to ATL in the selection menu to establish your home airport? It was not included.


#111902 Extension to 2040?

Posted by Delta787 on 09 May 2012 - 09:37 PM in Rδ-1 Archive

What world are you talking about?


#110506 Airline bail-outs!

Posted by Delta787 on 30 April 2012 - 06:26 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

When you mention a bailout, I thinking of airlines in severe debt, like in the millions or billions and just trying to stay afloat. If you want to use it for that, I'm for it.

Wouldn't this just encourage airlines to go into debt? Besides if they're profitable they shouldn't be in debt in the first place. ....I can't think of a privately owned airline getting a bail-out (or a government payment) just to order new aircraft - other than Emirates. It simply doesn't happen. EDIT: Also, isn't that what bonds are for?


I agree with what M4 Matthew said.


#110463 Mass Install Winglets

Posted by Delta787 on 30 April 2012 - 10:32 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

That would be a good option to have. I agree, it should be added.


#110415 Two Delivery Suggestions

Posted by Delta787 on 29 April 2012 - 10:50 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I agree with. This would be better.


#110368 Employee pay averages

Posted by Delta787 on 29 April 2012 - 05:38 PM in R2-2 Archive

I agree. Something must be done because depending on how you set your reserves and everything else, next thing you now you have a negative balance because you giving hand and foot to keep your employees happy. I usually give a $2 dollar raise at the end of the year and that seems to help, sometimes. :/ But I would wish Yuxi would look into this because sometimes the turnover kills when you are trying to keep up with the industry. I say, TO HECK WITH THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE! :disgusted: I run my airline how I like. Rewards come later! :P


#110056 Airport Passenger & Gate Numbers

Posted by Delta787 on 26 April 2012 - 07:49 PM in Europe

Any chance the United States is on your list soon? I only ask because Im anxious to see ATL especially with the opening of the new International terminal next month


#110052 'Maxed out' configuration - F & C cap.

Posted by Delta787 on 26 April 2012 - 07:26 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Currently the legroom in different classes are not independent, so the legroom rating applies to the entire aircraft. In AE 4 the seat configuration and legroom system will be much more sophisticated, so that will take care of these concerns. :P


OUTSTANDING!!!! That would really be a kick in the teeth to some of these mega-carriers that try and gobble up everything!! XD


#108028 What year does R3 end?

Posted by Delta787 on 10 April 2012 - 02:02 AM in General AE Discussion

Okay, maybe someone can help me with this. For world R3 the years are 1980 to 2015, but on the timeline at the bottom, it says 1980 to 2010, so which one is the right one? I need to know because Im thinking of ordering more aircraft. B)


#106005 What airline simulation games have you tryed?

Posted by Delta787 on 20 March 2012 - 01:07 AM in Other Games

I have done Airline Empires, of course, and tried out AirwaySim, the demo, and I think I have kind of figured it out. Might try it later.


#104404 Idea for extra profit

Posted by Delta787 on 06 March 2012 - 03:29 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

True, but here in the US, you security fees, fuel fees, and if you happen to be carrying extra baggage, you get charged fees for that too, on top of the airfare you are paying.


#102932 When to Replace Airplanes

Posted by Delta787 on 24 February 2012 - 10:33 PM in Rδ-1 Archive

I usually start to replace mine at around the 12 to 15 year mark and by that time, I own them and can replace them with a newer model aircraft or, in the case of the 757, there is no suitable replacement, order replacement aircraft so when production stops, I will have fresh planes coming in. Just my $.02 :D


#102891 Anyone want this airline?

Posted by Delta787 on 24 February 2012 - 02:27 PM in R1-1 Archive

Oops!


#102833 New World

Posted by Delta787 on 23 February 2012 - 10:38 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I agree with the 1990 start and two airline max.


#102806 Anyone want this airline?

Posted by Delta787 on 23 February 2012 - 07:14 PM in R1-1 Archive

I would really like to give it a try. I have a airline in R3 with a DOP of $26 mil, 264 aircraft and 146 on order.


#102616 Crashes

Posted by Delta787 on 21 February 2012 - 10:04 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I would think that it would make a huge difference in game pace if chance of crash was linked to maint and flight hours. Run the plane at max ratio for years on end and have 75% chance of a crash. Link that to a drop in pax after the crash across the board for that airline to simulate the public avoiding an unsafe airline. They would have to regain the public trust to maintain the higher rates.


But then this is where you would have to add maintenance into the game for this to happen. Even if you wanted to add crashes to the game, there is still that 1 in a 1,000,000,000 chance that a crash will occur. Aircraft today are just to well built and maintained ( in most countries) that it takes a freak of nature or unfortunate mishap to bring a plane down. You have a higher chance of getting run over by a car than being in a plane crash. :D Just my $.02


#102584 Add Different types of Airlines in BETA

Posted by Delta787 on 21 February 2012 - 02:53 AM in General AE Discussion

QuoraKlamath inc., what I meant when I said that: "Not even the regular passenger planes carry cargo, just passengers.", I was referring to the aircraft in Airline Empires carry only passengers. Cargo that some planes can carry (The Airbus A330s, A340s, A380s, Boeing 767s, 777s, 787s, 747s, etc) are not modelled into the simulation. Like was said earlier, it is being debated on being added sometime down the line, I hope would be added. Hope this clears up some of the confusion. :D


#102562 Add Different types of Airlines in BETA

Posted by Delta787 on 21 February 2012 - 01:55 AM in General AE Discussion

The Cargo feature is something they will be adding in future versions. As of right now, there are no cargo planes in the sim. Not even the regular passenger planes carry cargo, just passengers.


#102446 Fleet and Maintenance Costs

Posted by Delta787 on 19 February 2012 - 11:59 PM in Rδ-1 Archive

It all depends. You can have a mix of different types of aircraft, but as aircraft age, the maintenance cost goes up also. And remember, that each aircraft family has a base cost for maintenance, no matter what type of engine you use. As for me, I use a mix of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, but as my aircraft get older, I replace them with a newer type to help cut down on the maintenance cost.


#102384 Airline Details

Posted by Delta787 on 19 February 2012 - 05:20 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I concur.


#102383 Mass Leasing Aircraft in the Used Market

Posted by Delta787 on 19 February 2012 - 05:19 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I agree with that, especially now they have updated it and it tells you what engines are on the aircraft.


#102134 Realistic Maintnence

Posted by Delta787 on 16 February 2012 - 08:42 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

We should also be able to contract out maintenance. e.g. Many of the current A388 do maintenance in Germany i believe. correct me if im wrong.


That matter has been discussed in this topic by myself and others. We hope that it would be implemented into the game cause that would cut down on the aircraft sold to the used aircraft market and could also help with the aircraft reputation. We have even went to the point of maybe airlines being able to setup MROs (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul Facilities), ie Delta TechOps, ST Aerospace, and others in real life, that would do the maintenance for other airlines, but they would do only C/D Checks, not the A/B Checks. But the only thing is implementing it into the game itself. If there is a timetable in the game, then it might be possible to do it.


#101848 pax service - ground

Posted by Delta787 on 11 February 2012 - 08:28 PM in New Players and Questions

Cool. Any word what it might apply to? Or is this being kept under the radar? :D
