2.14 Patch A

[Tjoeker]

Hmm, now that you say that. You indeed have a lot of money in the bank. (Can I be your friend? /Joking )

I see you lose about $6000-$8000 per day, which is a lot in 1930.
I suspect the game calculated a single day after you changed the prices with 100% filling degree, and then noticed too late that you changed the price.
Either that, or loading the game fixed the issue.

I'll have to do some research, but so far I haven't been able to recreate the bug.

Im starting to wonder if i did send you the right save file now. The one i (should) have send you should be in 1934 (i believe, but might be 1933) with about 100 billion (!!!) on the bank. I raised most ticket prices to an insane amount and it kept on coming in the bank for weeks, so i dont think its a one-off. Personally i suspect that the reason why passengers are paying a few million for a flight is due to a combination of things:

- early 30's -> only first class available
- no competition on routes
- put all possible IFS on and maximized advertisement, so pax want to fly with my airline


Besides all of this, the filling degree seems unaffected by the high prices and just keeps on increasing, so there must be something wrong with:

1) a pricing threshold that pax are willing to pay
2) relationship between price and filling factor

Please let me know if you think you havent got the right save file

Thanks for the help!!!

The year is 1934, so you send me the correct one. It has several routes with a million+ ticketprice, and your bank account has an extremely high value.

If you say it happened more than once for you there are 2 possibilities:

-There is an issue with the filling degree calculation where passengers continue to fly even with very high ticketprices. This does however get fixed when you save and load the game again.
-> I haven't been able to recreate it though.
-There is an issue caused by your local system language setting.

Can you try to reload your game and advance one day? (after a couple of days the game crashes because it made a mistake while saving)
Does it happen on any flight, also in different games?

I'll test again tomorrow with the highest settings on all fields (seats, IFS, IFE, Departure time, ...)
But it's getting late here.

I have found the issue.
It's related to maxing out the IFS.

I'll fix this, and it will be part of the patch.

Brilliant thanks for investigating and fixing it! I cant wait for the next patch! When is it coming out? Keep up the good work, im really enjoying the game!

[Tjoeker]

I partially fixed the issue.
I was still able to ask ~$10 000 for a ticket and have 2 passengers on board. (about $90 000 in today's money)
This is because the demand in the game in 1930 is as high as demand in 2019.

This will be fixed when we implement the historical airport data, but that's still a long way.

On the other hand, as soon an opponent adds a flight to the route, you will lose the passengers.


A patch will likely come this evening.
