#31227 So how did your airline go when you started playing?

Posted by everotheleft on 17 March 2006 - 12:36 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Great. Second place pre-reset 1, and that was after not playing for a few months.

#31122 Stock Prices

Posted by everotheleft on 12 March 2006 - 03:07 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I worked on the the stock market over the summer, but then I fell off the face of the earth. The system I had used a function of book value and forward profits, plus growth trending to come up with a price; however, they may not be using my implementation.

#13660 RESET THE GAME

Posted by everotheleft on 03 September 2005 - 06:27 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I think we need to fix the loadfactor bugs, and then reset.

A reset without changing anything wouldn't accomplish much at all, people would just be asking for another reset in 2 months.

#11034 Stock Market and over capacity

Posted by everotheleft on 13 August 2005 - 01:47 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

You will not be forced to go public. Even when public, hold more than 50% of your stock and no one can buy you out.

I don't really understand what you mean by capacity, though.

#7684 Stock price?

Posted by everotheleft on 12 July 2005 - 07:02 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Point taken.

#7623 Stock price?

Posted by everotheleft on 11 July 2005 - 07:16 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Your underwriters would force you to split, or at least that is how I sort of have it planned.

#7621 I'm paying WAY to much for gate leasing.

Posted by everotheleft on 11 July 2005 - 07:13 PM in Bugs

I have that problem too. It really is a hassle, esp. for smaller airlines where every penny counts.

#7256 LCC Subsidaries

Posted by everotheleft on 07 July 2005 - 09:58 PM in Real World Aviation

As I recall ted comes about breakeven, they say united just runs it as a solem flipping of the bird to frontier, though don't quote me on that.

As to more airlines picking up that model: who knows? It seems like a solid model, with jetblue and southwest running the LC shtick pretty well, but I would imagine that if running that shtick as a subsidiary like DAL and UA do was that amazing other airlines would have already caught on.

#5768 Poll:What do you want to be added

Posted by everotheleft on 27 June 2005 - 04:14 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Miller has said he will try and add all the cities with more than 100k pax per year. However, there has been no timeframe on this.

#5739 respect in the game

Posted by everotheleft on 27 June 2005 - 01:49 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Miller eventually intends on Ae turning a profit, I suspect that's why he won't take a donation.

#5690 respect in the game

Posted by everotheleft on 27 June 2005 - 02:15 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

He's out of town until Wednesday, he can't do anything until then.

#5687 It may be a bit to early to ask...

Posted by everotheleft on 27 June 2005 - 02:06 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

I don't think there will be another restart for a while, as the next big feature to come out is liable to be the stock market(don't hold me to that), which should need at the most just some downtime as we update the database, not a full-out restart.

#5524 Sale of 5-year old planes

Posted by everotheleft on 26 June 2005 - 01:57 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

What we really need is a more comprehensive system to make sure that one person has one account.

Preventing certain planes from being sold won't do anything when people start using multiple accounts to exploit the stock market or the contract script

#5219 Poll:What do you want to be added

Posted by everotheleft on 24 June 2005 - 01:06 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Having new worlds wouldnt need a new server, it would need the whole game rewritten. Every single SQL query would need to be updated. It would be hell for miller.

On the bright side, the two top requests are liable to happen.

#4814 What happened to the Ae community?

Posted by everotheleft on 22 June 2005 - 04:36 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Not you, pretty much everyone.

#4809 Monkey Airlines $1 tickets......

Posted by everotheleft on 22 June 2005 - 04:24 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Exactly what he wants you to do.

#4808 What happened to the Ae community?

Posted by everotheleft on 22 June 2005 - 04:23 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

When I first started frequenting this site over a year ago the community was a lot different. The members were kind and understanding. The language was less harsh. Every thread did not erupt into a flame-war.

What happened to that, guys?

I understand a lot of dumb and repetitive questions are asked. I understand that pointless topics are created. But frankly that's no reason to be rude. If you are tired of answering the same question a million times, then don't answer it. It's that simple. Either the player will figure it out(read: use the nifty search feature) or someone else will answer the question. There is absolutely no reason to be hostile. None whatsoever.

Also, a lot of people are getting downright angry as to the bugs. I know it's an addicting game, and seeing ones airline go under via the cruel maws of the aircraft queue bug is throwing away hours of careful planning and playing, but it is just a game, and a BETA game at that. Technically we aren't playing to play, we are playing to debug.

My $.02.

#4802 Monkey Airlines $1 tickets......

Posted by everotheleft on 22 June 2005 - 04:07 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

Allowed? Yes.

Profitable? No.

#4752 Impending Reset?

Posted by everotheleft on 22 June 2005 - 04:03 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

There's no reason for one. The next big feature to come out will probably be the stock market which doesn't look like it will need a reset.

And what is a man without monkey? Nothing.

It would be very nice, but expensive to host due to bandwidth considerations, as nathaniel said.

#4710 It's too crowded!

Posted by everotheleft on 22 June 2005 - 02:14 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

We are throwing around the idea of multiple worlds.

Throwing around is the operative phrase.

In the interim, it is planned that all airports with over 100,000 pax a year will be included in the game, making more room for you to grow.

He went away for the week, and figured that Ae was taking up too much of his time, anyway.

#4448 The ability to research routes without buying gates

Posted by everotheleft on 20 June 2005 - 12:46 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

If the developers want to be smug about user suggestions more power to them.

Wow. I wouldn't call it being smug. I'd call it being busy. :-p

However, I do agree. I can't tell you how much I've lost buying gates for routes that don't work.

#4444 Very high payroll

Posted by everotheleft on 20 June 2005 - 12:23 AM in Bugs

That is a bug. Your payroll should not be that high.

Damn unions.
