#35564 Missing slots...

Posted by etlien on 27 June 2006 - 07:14 PM in Bugs

So I was setting up routes and after hitting the create route button I got a screen that said 'SQL/DB Error -- ' in red in addition to the stuff about being redirected...then I went to the aircraft screen and noticed that the routes had in fact not been created but the slots had been taken away...so now I have 2 gates at each of KPB, OTP, ESB and AYT with 6 routes into each and 3 remaining slots. I also tried deleting all the routes into OTP and returning the gates but was only able to return one...does anyone know how to fix the problem?

Hey gizgiz, I see you have HK typhoon tracking in your signature. Are you from HK?


#33398 Create hub

Posted by etlien on 06 May 2006 - 07:28 PM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

It might work...but you gotta get them big planes first...and many our there dont have that yet...should work though. And you cant forget that NWA is still operating DC 10s and A320s outta NRT speaking of which.....i wish we could bring back McDonnell Douglas to the game...be a nice comeback..but thats just a wish...


I forgot about the DC10s, I know they don't operate the 320s into NRT anymore though, they were only they during SARS. Yeah, its a shame the vintage planes aren't in the game. They wouldn't be able to compete with the likes of the 777s and 330s, but I would definitely operate them for the hell of it.


#33371 Create hub

Posted by etlien on 06 May 2006 - 04:55 AM in Game Discussion (SIM2)

When you make an airport in which you have a considerable market share a hub, since you're handling lots of PAX traffic, you can say those same PAX start using your airline's routes as connections, therefore increasing the load factor (1st time you have to reset prices). If you got like 25 gates and lots of market share, add a high density long-haul and you'll notice how the 100-300nm routes boost up considerably.


Questions about this :

Do I have to reset ALL routes and if so, what if I have same routings with two different Route IDs?

Also, would a hub with small amount of gates but big plans work? e.g. 5 gates but all operated with 757s, 330s and 747s? Think NWA at NRT.
