I loaded a saved game and when the game reached 1 January of the sixth year of operations I received thousands of messages stating that airports across the world were closed or closing. My hub in Singapore was closed and transferred to Mardin in Turkey and the date would not advance.

I used a factory delivered Boeing 737-300 on DFW-ATL route pair flying 3 times a day 7 days a week and the condition of the aircraft was down to 50% after 2 years. At this rate I will need to replace the aircraft every 4 years. Not very realistic performance.

Hi all,

Been reading the forums lately and I have to admit, I was drawn by Tjoeker's friendliness to everyone, regardless of what their thread was about. I even feel guilty not donating anything to the team - but don't worry, I will definitely do so soon!

So to the main point of this thread:
I have read up on the tutorial as well as the many threads that supposedly teaches people how to use DB Browser for SQLite in order to access and modify the database to our hearts' content but the resources I came across really didn't address my needs.

I decided to try modifying the database by starting out with the Airbus A330-200ST Beluga XL, which I renamed to Airbus A330-743L Beluga XL. I also changed its properties such as fuel, range, etc... but I believe these have nothing to do with the issue I am experiencing at the moment.

The issue I am experiencing has to do with the airliner graphics. I noticed in the tutorial and in many threads, it is emphasized for one to always name something the same as the graphic's name. However, this clearly did not apply in this case as the graphic's name was A330 BELUGA.png and not Airbus A330-200ST Beluga XL.png as expected from the naming convention emphasis.

In game, the airliner graphic did not show up when I clicked on the Info button of the Airbus A330-743L Beluga XL. I tried finding the reference point for the name and airliner image but to no avail.

Hopefully someone can help me with this and maybe one day someone can also do a comprehensive tutorial on editing things to our hearts' content because the threads I've come across were mostly for airlines and airports, but none for airliners apart from one thread about manufacturers.

Cheers!

Hi guys,

I must say that I really love what you are doing with the game, and I look forward to follow the progress of The Airline Project - NEXT GEN :-)

I wish you the best of luck with the development and hope soon you will kick off your kickstarter campaign

Hi there, first post and new user.

Just a couple of quick ones that I have found so far.

NZQN Queenstown, runway length check. Unable to get a 737-300 into there in game. This Airport can take anything up to an Airbus A320, and 737-800. Runway Length should be 05/23 1891m

NCRG Rarotonga International Airport, runway length check. Unable to get a 767-300 into there in game. This Airport can take anything up to an 747-400. Runway length should be 08/26 2328m.

I'll post any further inconsistencies that I find.

Cheers

A small patch with some fixes.

If you are using the Itch Desktop app, the download should happen automatically. If not you can check for a new update.
Itch has notified me that the bug that corrupts our database with this auto-updates has been fixed.

You can still manually download the new version.

Changelog V2.14.2 Patch B

FIX: Advertisement setting on IFE settings is now properly saved.
FIX: Fixed issue with cabin configuration.

Not long since got the game and starting on 1960+ I find it very easy to find profitable routes and can run almost any plane making a profit provided its cargo or economy passenger. Can anybody give me advice on how to make profit before this era in cargo and passenger?
Thanks in advance.

I have played most of the versions of the game so far and even though most of the things have changed and bugs have fixed. There is one issue that was never solved and it makes me crazy   After playing some time, the time in the game freezes. It basically doesn't move at all. For example I was playing with the last patch and it got stucked on 22.3.2037. Is there a way to solve this expect you fixing it in the next patch?

Dear team,

for me it was wonderful news, that you want to bring the game into the next generation.

I love to play this game, because I am very interested into the aviation sector.

Personally I think that you have been thinking about these things for the next version, so that I don't need to write more the title.

Your to-do List : for example alliances, interlining / codesharing, dynamic range

My ideas for the next gen:

At the moment it is only possible to start as an airline and buy others or create subcompanies.

1. Airline Groups / subareas

The more routes and planes there are, the more confusing it becomes to find something. 
Therefore it would be helpful if you could manage airline groups (like Lufthansa /IAG) or divide your airline into subareas without having different brands (like Lufthansa, LH Cityline or LH Station FRA and LH Station MUC). With the creation of subareas of the airline you could organize the airline into shorthaul or longhaul missions and/or stations. 
This would have the advantage, that I only get the information I want.

2. Establishing subsidiaries

With V2 it was only possible to open subsidiaries at airports I had slots or flights (?). I would find it better and more releastic, if I could also start a new subsidiary at airports I don't have slots or flights.
For example my signature. I have an european airline and I want that my flights to asia will operate by my asia subsidiary. It doesn't make sense that I need to create flights or book slots at this airport, to create my sub.
And this brings me to my next point.

3 Joint venture for subsidiaries

I think that many coutries have limitations for the founding of new companies. Foreign companies aren't allowed to hold the majority in some countries. It would be to much work to find out the limitations in all coutries. To make it easier, we could say, that companies get the right to have the majority for subs on the same continent. For all others continents their is the limit of 49 %. Partner could be another airline or business group.
The player would have the full control on this sub, but he only gets 49 % of the profit or loss. If a route or the airline isn't profitable, the partner (ai) give the player tasks (e.g. to close the route, or to reduce the salaries of the employees) or penalty.
As result we could get more interacting with the ai or if possible with other players. in a possible multiplayer weaker players could get a strong partner with a high cash flow and could fight against stronger continent players.

4 Airplane shopping
With V2 it was only possible to buy airplanes for the active airline. Yes it was possible to transfer the airplanes after delivery to the sub, but the player had to do so for each plane. It would be nice, if the player could choose the company destination when buying or change it afterwards.
(e.g. when buying 200 A320 - 50 for company A, 150 for B and change it afterwards to 60 to A, 70 to B and 70 to C)

Then I would find it great, if the player could change the typ after buying or reduce/sold the order or move the deliveries to later slots.
For example I am a low cost carrier player and order 300 A320neo, because at the time I place the order my filling degree wasn't high. After 5 years I find that this strategie isn't the best for this moment and I had only 100 A320neo delivered yet.
Then it should be possible that I could go to Airbus and change for later delivery slots the planes (e.g. to A321neo or A330neo with compensation payment).

It takes about at least 20-30 seconds to open many windows - mainly slots at airports. It can take up to a minute to open them sometimes. Is this WAD?
