Oversupplying Question

[blahmeh14]

Hi!

I was just wondering if i am breaking the rules. I have introduced two very long haul routes on 747 in which the plane has only a couple of hours before it has to take off again to do the route again (every two days). In the time in between the routes, i can only schedule a flight between my airport and another nearby airport, but the demand is only 100 PAX, and i would be supplying 347, only on two days of the week (however, it is still bringing in a little profit and is better than having the planes sitting on the ground). Is this ok or is this breaking the rules about demand (for i have no competition on this route at all)?

Well, are you also oversupplying on the other days of the week too?  The difference is an average, so as long as you're not terribly out of whack the other 5 days out of the week, your totals for the week can still average out to about 200%.

I'd say you're within the bounds of the spirit of the rules if not explicitly.  As long as you're not repetitively doing it you're probably alright, but it's ultimately up to Sami.

Depending ont he game world and environment variables, scheduling a plane with that many seats with that demand wouldn't turn a profit for you in most situations...

Keep in mind that demand is not averaged out over the week, so if demand is 700/week, and you supply 2 350 seat flights per week, you'll likely be running them at 25% load factor...

As far as I understand one can always schedule a flight once a day, no matter how much over capacity that is. But this is not written down on manual. The game mechanics will favor the smaller plane anyway...

In a v1.11 game I had a nice short route. all was fine. Flying my little 120-Brasilia 2 times a day on the ~80NM long trip.
The demand is around 60 pax daily. But then another person puts in more then 1000 seats daily since he gonna use my base as a "hub". How is the rule about this ? Is it "dont overcrowd the route with more then 200% if your not using the airport as hub" Just wondering ?

PS: as mention above. This is in a v1.11 game

In a 1.11 game yes, that was the rule.  You were allowed to flood a route for the purposes of creating a hub.
