Need some advice, I tried multiple times and I can't seem to make more or can the AI. I had 1 plane with 3 routes on it with 93% load factor and was Losing over a million a month, I increased and decreased prices which didn't improve things. 1 AI started with 10 planes and had over 190 planes in the first year but was $2 billion in debt.
Is it just me or a bug
Since we are almost done with the next version, I would need some help with the testing.
So if you think you will be help to spend a couple of hours, most likely from the mid of this week, please sent me a PM.
I will only need a couple of testers, so only the first ones who PMs will be a part of the testers.
The purpose of the testing is to test the new functionalities (from the changelog: http://theairlineproject.net/forum/showt...p?tid=1308) and stability.
So please no inputs like: Why hasn't this and that been implemented yet?
And please be aware that the version is not the final version, so there might be stability issues.
A feature I hope can be added soon is the different fare types that exist in real life. I think 3 fare types for each class (saver, regular, flex) is a good number to have. Since the game already separates tourist and business passengers, it can simply have most of the business passengers buying regular and flex while most tourists buy saver and regular.
So for now this is not in the game, but I think it should be implemented slowly, becouse I saw that the opponent airlines are actually using the Cabin Crew counter, just we can't use it.
I don't know if it's a bug or it was still not implemented... I let this here and will see where will it go.
What if when we are playing the game we could get offers from a specific country to start to develop in it and get some revenue/subsidies:
So basically I am saying that the airlines could have the following types in a country ( except last one which is unique )
Subsidized -> Your airline receives significant government subsidies to encourage your development in the country
Preferential treatment -> Your airline benefits from some advantages from the government whose the avowed aim is to build your loyality to develop the regional economy
Standard -> Your airline benefits from exactly the same set-up conditions than most regional competitors
Representative -> Your fame catches up with you and you are now one of the favorites partners for your government. Now you will have to prove worthy of this favor and offer your passengers a flawless service!
State-Owned -> Your airline has become a showcase of the national aviation industry. The quality of your services has proved itself and you now invest more and more to meet the expectations of your costomers.
Something similar would be intresting and from the airport view also.
I have started implementing the use of through flights (via flights) meaning that it is possible to create a route like:
ATH->EDI Via CGN where all legs are flown by the same aircraft.
My question is what you think about this and if you have any inputs? And for now I will only start with one through/via airport
This thread will be solely for updating current game data and creating new stuff.
if you would like to see some specific airline or airport in the game (that doesn't already exist) feel free to make a request here.
Added the first batch of my staff name database.
Added names for the following nations:
-Angola
-Andorra
-UAE
-Armenia
-Burkina Faso
-Belize
-Algeria
-Malta
-New Zealand
-Paraguay
the're all tested and work except for the armenian one for some unknown reason (the same reason the serbian one also don't work)
if i remember correctly we had in v1 a folder called "Addons" inside the data folder, right? It would be great to have this feature back in v2. So we don't need to write inside the original xml files and just add a a new extra xml file that will override the default information for airports etc
