Real world schedules

[Ryanjet]

I appreciate doing this wont have the same effect as it does in the 'real world' but has anyone tried immitaing a real world schedule in the name of RPG?

I am thinking about this quite a lot But still haven't got all the experience to do so

...I was thinking about either Turkish airlines or Czech Airlines. The problem is in the demand mainly since there are quite a lot of lines today but not enough demand in the game

Without the ability to make connections you wont be able to replicate a real world schedule and be profitable

Lacking connections would be the #1 problem.

The #2 problem would be the lack of demand that reflects reality in great many cases.  While XYZ Airline might operate 10 x 737 flights a day between A and B, in-game there might be demand of only 200/day.  Some of that is due to the first problem -- connections.  Some of it is that there simply isn't data for every single OD pair on the planet, so the vast majority of routes in-game have demand created as a result of a formula that generates a demand given the cities sizes.

Well don't forget the problem of time. In JA3 is 1975 now and those 10x flights you talk about are now in 2009

I've spent almost month for this purpose to collect the actual demad data within the Russia/CIS. As I work in travel ticket agency, it's good that I have an access to all base and the reservations systems.
As a lot of time is required for this purpose that this data would be install in game. I think that Sami works alone and no have time.
