Oversupplying a route
dubAUT:
Since there is the rule that you are not allowd to oversupply, I don't think that's fair, if some airlines have bseudo-hubs by oversupplying the routs between their HQ and another airport, for example as King Airways does between PMI and BCN: There is a maximum demand of about 350 pax, but there are suppied 16,500+.
Am I rowng or took this roule not place in Euro Challenge #2?
Kontio:
I believe the route between the primary and secondary hubs is an exception to the rule.
Curse:
That's right, Kontio. I also set high prices on the two hub routes (Palma-Barcelona, Palma-Madrid) for extra declaring this as hub-routes and no regular flown routes.

"Note: With version 1.11 game engine (March 2010) the exception to this rule is when airline is repositioning aircraft to other airport and flying from the other airport onwards to a third destination. This exception will be removed in games with version 1.2 game engine and after that the rule will explicitly concern all routes."
Edit: It's not my intention to destroy small airlines. So if sometimes anybody has a big problem with one of my routes, feel free to talk to me. But as the route to Malta is served by Baleria (and there are no routes from Barcelona/Madrid to Malta at my side), I'm sure this hasn't happen in this case.

Sorry, I lost this point in the rules. I just asked because I would like to provide some service torwards one airport where the demand out from MLA is not that high and for that reason I didn't yet like that. So I feel free to copy that strategie ;-)
What have you done with the prices, Curse?
Curse:
If you fly a route normally, you'll set prices like standard, standard minus 20% or something like that. I set the prices on the routes to the hubs +xx% (don't know exactly and it's not necessary to the rules).
One small hint: Get sure you make good money with your hub. It's not only wasting fuel to fly there, you waste lots of time to get there, turn-around etc.
