Screenshots Vol 2

[Sami]

Some new features in the works ..

Such as aircraft production lines, launch customer benefits for new plane models, enhancements on the aircraft display pages, more information to incomesheet, and so on. All this is part of a larger update package that will be installed possibly sometime next week - the whole calculation module has been also rewritten (optimization).

- alliances are not in first release. Maybe later then..

- Demand is hard to explain but there are very clear graphs presented to players about them. Pax demand is still only point-to-point travelling with connections planned for later. That is an hugely complex issue and must be thought well. In my mind the connections cannot be just random or automatic like in some other games - that makes no sense. Player must be able to set the ticket prices and adjust them as well. Also the max / minimum transfer times for passengers must be taken into account and many other items, possibly even the airport infrastructure and size etc.. Yes we COULD make it just work on the background without player actions but that's simply not realistic and I don't wish to do that so thus it's also an item for future development. 

- startup money depends on each game and it's settings. That can be set for each game, as well as the game start up time, game duration, initial loan amount and initial loan interest rates.. I can set for example that each startup airline has $20mil loans and no own cash with high loan interest rates and fuel prices     There will be also an "events" module for later release where there are randomish world events that affect the prices and general economy and players cannot predict them (as currently all economy follows the realworld history model - though that too can be customized for each game so nothing is certain here.. LOL)

Sami, could you separate the Canada and United States airports into the provinces/states? It is Extremely hard to go through the airport list and to check all the airports. (Infact if have some spare tim, I'll do it for you if you dont want to)

Dunno .. I'd have to make separate "countries" of them and not sure how that would work, technically I mean.

Same for Russia actually. It's not that good as now whole Russia is considered to be in "Europe" but Khabarovsk for example (in the far eastern part) is not certainly Europe.     Though for game purposes that does not affect anything as the system also checks the flight distance, not only if it goes from region to another, but looks just strange in the world maps in the game.

couldnt you just make a link from Canada to all the provinces? and then have the airports?

Same in Russia. You could split Russia into European Russia and Asian Russia with connecting links...

then again, im no html wizz.

Getting a bit crowded...     We're having a test game with 17 airlines all based at Heathrow to test the load factor distribution things that have been just updated.

[Seattle]

Is the load factor distribution working?

Ughhh..... it makes me want to play....

[naio90]

And the rest of the world? Are u ppl using those other airports or only Europe and main USA?


nad another question, je, how does the time run in the game? Are the flyes in RT? how long does a year in game takes?

[Maza]
