Hey guys!

As I am a Java Student, I made a little tool to generate an Airline. It's completely coded in Java, the GUI isnt very good, only textfields and Buttons, but I was bored

At the moment, you can set:

Airline Name
Airline IATA
Airline HUB
Airline Strategy (Global, Domestic, etc)
Airline CEO
Airline Country Code
Airline Color
Airline ending year
Airline starting year
Airline Real or Fictional (True/False)
Airline Description
Airline prefered Aircrafts

You can put in all the Data into the Textfields, click confirm for every Textfield, click Finish at the end and the Tool will generate a .XML file which will be ready for use in TAP. As I am a Student, I want you guys to test the tool if there are any errors occuring and maybe the tool can be helpful for you too! A feature what will follow will be a way to implement an Airline Logo and more HUB Airports.

Any Ideas please in the Comments!

Well after having the game for 48hrs, (24hrs with V0.51 and 24hrs with V2) i think i can come to a rough overall judgement.
I do love this game, its complexity and detail is incredible however i just want to make a couple of suggestions...

1. When creating routes you have to schedule individual planes, although i love the depth this in my mind is a little to detailed, i'd prefer if for this specific section there was an option which allowed you to pick a fleet of A/C and the time of departure and the game automatically schedules the flights. Also instead of always selecting individual days have a way to select multiple days, i.e. if i want to fly EGLL-LFPG on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, select all 3 instead of doing it 1 by 1

2. Seasons.... This is the one thing i hate about V2, sorry but if i have a network of say 50 destinations and every 'season' i have to replace all the planes i'm gonna start to get annoyed! My suggestion for this would be that every season you get an email with the average usage i.e. 77% and then you can change it accordingly.

3. A/C configs, now for this example i'll use an EK A380 irl, it has in a 3 class ULR config, 14 in F, 76 in J and 400 in Y, if i made that A/C in the game and set the F seats to Suites with 14, J seats, to fully flat  with 76 and Y seats to standard, it gives me around 500 Y seats.... I believe this just needs some adjusting same with all the larger A/C like 747/777/A340 etc....

Now that the rant is over xD I do love the game honestly!
Just needs a few improvements to become excellent as well as the stability!

It's got a bright future, keep it up!

(Oh and you more experienced players/developers may be able to spot that some of what i have said is possible (point 1/2) if it is let me know!)

I've been following the airline project for a while, and I had a try at it recently.

I tried with multiple airlines, but I could not make one successful and profitable. Is there something im doing wrong? Or can anyone give me some tips on how to start off with profitable routes? It'll be much appreciated. 

Thanks

Hi Guys!
I'm brand new to this game, i've played many other tycoon games but not one is theis much depth... for free, i must say first impressions, its great!
Just a couple of quick questions...

1. Is there a manual? 
2. I was testing the game out, and decided to order 50 A/C, anyway they all got delivered so i started making routes, even though they were all assigned A/C after a couple months half the route started to show Na/Na or something similar and 0 is all the money areas, i checked everything else, they all seem to be running just with 0 in all the money boxes??
3. Is there anyway to customize the frequency of the route? or do i have to put it to hard for that? (I'm playing on easy)
4. Lastly, i wanted to do these routes:
SIN-BNE-AKL
SIN-SYD-AKL
SIN-MEL-AKL
But after doing one it says i can't go into the destination again... anyway around this?

King Regards,
James

helicopters are literally useless in this game as you can't use them for any flight 
everytime you use them it says wrong type of aircraft

Here some Pics from CGN last week

Now, this is when I was playing the base game without the patch that just came out not long ago.

My idea was that this game really could do with some sort of background music, airport sounds or plane sound effects to give it that realistic feel ect

To me without anything like that it makes the game boring and dull :/ and I don't like going on youtube just to find some when I would prefer if the devs could add this in a new patch or a update.
