Demand distribution and mentor.

I have a couple of questions about demand...

1). Does demand spread over the days ?... When there's no competition, if you fly just once a week, twice or 4 times a week, does the demand of days with no flights adds to the days you are flying ?

2) Does the demand divide evenly thru the day ??.. If you fly at 0500, 0600 and 0700 will you get the same passengers as if you fly let's say 0500, 1400, 2200 ?

3) I've seen some hour bands are fully taken at some airports while some others are pretty empty... do you have a "rush hour" or a prime time when scheduling ? (besides 0500-0600 to 2200-2300 mentioned in the manual - does this hours have a huge advantage over the rest of the day ?)


And, I applyed for a mentor in this game (begginers)... I need some auditing every couple of days (not permanent help =P)... if anybody has some spare time I'd appreciate the help ;)


Thanks !!

Demand is daily, it does not move over days currently.

But inside the day you have the whole demand available, basically. But it is not that simple. There are several "preferred times" for travel, and times that passengers are unwilling to travel (in the middle of the night vs. 07-08am for example.). See manual for more info on this.

And the estimated demand you are shown is the demand you can catch if everything is near-perfect. (so it is not just a line of passengers waiting at the airport..)

Totally clarified... actually, I learned something in the manual I didn't understand in my game... I have a flight arriving 00:10 with no penalty on LF... I read in the forums all flights must go between 05:00 - 23:55, but the manual states "and the flight should also land between the same hours (or a bit later in the evening)"


Also, thank you very much... I had waited months for an admin to answer an issue on others online games... here you take care of a simple question... This fact alone makes this game worth the money...
