Hey guys,
First of all fantastic that you’re updating the airline files with all the routes and airliners it is using!
But I think that, as Tjoeker already said, the game will become too predictable. Also the game files will become huge. Plus I don’t think that for all airlines all this data is available, leaving a lot of airlines “neglected”.
So in my opinion, giving the airlines focus cities/hubs and destinations is enough. And although it might add a bit of predictability, it would be strange to see BA flying from Berlin to Washaw for example. This doesn’t mean that the AI should not have a own will.
About the airliners, I think that specifying a type should be good enough. In my opinion we could leave out the early and late numbers anyway. I think the game should decide based on demand and money the airline has. (Depending on the airlines strategy it should take out a loan or not)
So I’m my vision:
In game I would like to see BA to start from London and build a base there. If there is a huge demand and no competitors, on a airport like New York, it will start a new base there.
That’s the kind of “randomness” and “self thinking” I would like to see in game.
As you can see, a lot of “I think”. It’s just my opinion
Greetings,
Nick
