Questions From A Newb

[DavidBurnie]

I see there are many guides for newbs and a decent manual in game but I've got two questions I can't seem to resolve.

1: Can I run multi-point flights (IE: CYYC-CYLW-CYXX-CYLW-CYYC) and if so, how? I don't see an option to add anything more than a technical stop, and one would think that a technical stop would not allow pax changes.

2: Are onboard services just not a part of this game? If so I am cool, but if they are how do I find and play around with them? (That's the department I worked for IRL when I worked in the industry so it would be fun to mess around with)

Easy to answer, why you couldn´t find anything, both questions get a no.
Game is base-destination-base (with possible tech stops without PAX change) and will stay that way.
On-board services are not a part of the game (yet). You may advertise and make decent decisions about material,seat quality and flight times you offer to control preference for your flights.

Thanks, some of the older newbie guides (posted in like 2009) said that multi-point flights were possible, that's why I thought I might be missing something. It would be cool if somehow they could be added back in.

No, that´s definite, this feature won´t come back. You have the possibility to open multiple bases instead.(Wherever that´s geographically or politically possible).

ABCBA will return.... just when is the next question?

[exchlbg]

OK, maybe I misunderstood Sami´s remarks about that topic. But if so, we are not talking weeks or months.....

Let's say both of us are correct...   He has the code/ability to change it back but it is completely up to him.

The capability was removed in v1.2 when the "base" concept was introduced. The ABCBA flights will likely return when sami is able to properly code for multi-country flight rights, however, I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. Also, it WON'T happen in a running game world.

ABCBA routes basically gave you a free base if C was the same airport for every route opened.  I wouldn't count on the base system AND the ABCBA routes being enabled at the same time or you will end up with airlines with 7 bases or 100s of aircraft flying into a single airport and circumventing the 100 aircraft limit.  Who needs to open a base in ATL when you can fly 400 aircraft there using ABCBA?

That guy should really work on updating his guide
