I think that it's because you operate a smaller sized fleet, in terms of pax per plane.

Nah, I wouldn't call an all B733 fleet small sized.
My F50/F.27 fleet in the other game seems to be doing good to after this to, but not the same insane increase.

I just assumed that you were talking about Public1. Sorry.

Well, when i went to sleep my ARN-CPH LF was 59%, when i woke up its 16%? I dont nderstand that, because i m flying with low rates.

thetallone24

Yep, me too

ALL of my routes are way down, but only in Y/C

PLEASE fix it, I'm desparate now, I was going good but I'm headed for the rocks now!

jagalubnan

Rather than fix it, you must look at what's behind this first. A majority of players are doing better than before, so it must be something specific related to your airline/base/region/aircraft, etc. Maybe you don't have a high route image? Maybe your aircraft are old? Maybe there's a lot of competition?

I've tried to help out by looking at some of everyone's routes from a "public" point of view, so we should wait until Sami can examine them from the inside. :)

Well thanks for the update. I'm operating 2 atr 42 and it was hard to make money.

Since the update i'm having serious problems with my LF's on C and F class....

thanks for the update and the hard work...everybody is happy cauz the L/F have gone through the roof. But, on the other hand, a few routes have decreased dramatically without ANY explanation.
I had a route to Dusseldorf which was doing nicely at about 55-60% in its first month and now it's gone down to below 30%. I've closed it down after i observed it for about a week and nothing changed. Sami, it seems the fix has created some inexplicable changes...

Guys, as sami said. You need well established routes to get high LF. Advertise your routes!  ;D

My problem is it's already at 100...

this has to be related to something, all those who's load factor went down, why dont you give a full report of the flights that are affected listing the Time of flight, aircraft, aircraft condition and age, route image, ticket price, company value, delay and cancellation %. This way we might be able to spot a pattern like flights after 11pm are down or it may well be a bug like Sami says. Simply putting "my load factor has gone down" doesnt help very much

An update has been installed ...

Problem was in parts that it did distribute the paxes to airlines, but it there were paxes 'left over' (=wanting to travel but "didn't find a seat" in the first round of calculation), they were not ALL given a seat. In other words if you were the only airline or only 2-3 others flying, it was probably fine, but on routes with 10 airlines it had problems. And also in another parts that the route image wasn't still working properly for some routes ... (which needs still some tuning later on)


If you have any complaints, please say the name of the game you are in and the number of the routes in question.

Thank you, Sami. 

It seems to be working very nicely for me now.  My new Boston to Dallas route jumped to nearly 100% load factors in just 2 weeks of game time.  Nice!

Do we have *ahem* any kind of compensation... I was at around 2.2m in cash before it happenned and now it's at 1.5m... if it had indeed worked out fine for me I probably have around 3 - 4m (guesstimate) in my coffers

That's not really the original intention actually, as there should be the effect of the new route opening and people "finding" the route slowly. But on routes with very high demand and no other available seats, they simply 'need' to fly it so that's why it's full so fast. Then on smaller routes you will see the increase of the route awareness better.

(as the game world starts and there is no existing markets/airlines, the start up is always a bit tricky..)

Sami,could you please take a look at SSS760,SSS761 in game1

My route image is at 100%  :o

Huge Thanks Sami !  :)
Finally the demand model behaves as it should ! After one year of struggling my 48 seaters reach 90% Load Factor !!
Some of my routes dropped dramatically, BUT, they are over-offered routes with a lot of competition !!
