Really? What's the demand now? How many passengers per day?

The Falklands conflict is just around the corner, could this have something to do with it??

[mikeymike]

Good thinking    demand is droping by the day lol

No as the regional demand / events is not modeled yet...

What's the accuracy of your demand data? ie. has it gone down due to staff issues.


Also, one "?" is enough in the topic

[mikeymike]

route demand halfed overnight and has continued to fall from around 1500/1600 paxper day (more actually i think based on seats i had available which i have now cut back but i had equaled demand)

now at btwn 350 to 500 per day

Also sami i have no staff or any other issues

[mikeymike]

UPDATE!!!!

pax is now btwn 500-750 per day but that is still about half of what it was.

Same thing happened in Jet Age 2 just right now April 1982. Previously PPD between SAEZ & EGLL was around 1400, now it dropped to 700.  The Falklands War started in May of 1982, but I didn't know this kind of stuff was modeled in AirwaySim. Anyway one would think this would drop to nearly zero during the war.

Sami, do you have date specific changes in PPD on certain routes? Or what is this? This route is a real cash cow in this game so I would like to know what is up with this.

The Falklands War does not happened in a sudden at 5/82, but things get started since early 1982

also, British started their attack at 1/5, but the invasion of Argentina forces took place at 1/4

[juanchopancho]

Ya I know. I lived in Argentina during the war.

The demand really shouldn't change downwards at all in single routes, the changes are global only so far.

[juanchopancho]

Of all my routes this was the only one that was reduced 50% overnight. My airline is the only one on this route.

Something in the code or demand algorithm changes dramatically on this route April of 1982.

Strange?

i am really curious to know what it is

The game is getting a mind of it's own.

Well, here we have it. AWS is slowing becoming sentient and we'll need to shut it down before it becomes SKYNET.
