Hi All,
I have been following this game for some years now, but never played much. So I consider myself a newbie.
The question I have is regarding the following situation. I started a new airline in 1946. I bought 4 used airplanes and ordered 2 new ones. I created short routes to several airports with 1 plane flying the route as much as the plane can. I did not change the 'Base price' the game suggested. All the routes have a 'Fill degree' of around 5%. Even though this is very low (in my opinion) I make reasonable profits.
Because I wanted to increase the 'Fill degree' (and the profits) I lowered the price by about 50% (from $88 to $48). To my surprise both the 'Fill Degree' and the profits didn't change.
Can somebody explain me why that is? Also having only 5% 'Fill degree' doesn't seem to justify a profit of $50 000 per month.
Another thing I noticed is that the one long(er) range flight I have (2656 km) has the same 'Base price' as my 366 km flight, making it a lot less profitable, but the same 'Fill Degree'. This means that there is no relation between distance and price.
Kind Regards,
PzKenny
