We have performed some server maintenance and also upgraded the database server to give us a bit more space. The game has grown to the point where an upgrade was needed for the site to continue functioning properly. Apologies for the delay in getting things back up and running but the timing of this was not great considering the situation in Japan and commitments that both sw889432 and I have with regards to work and life in general. 

For now the game is still in maintenance mode; I need to do a few things, run some clean-up scripts and such before opening it back up to the public to ensure things are running smoothly and no or few errors are encountered along the way. All data is still there, the game was not reset (although I will give everybody a free reset if you would like to reset your airline). Plane locations may be off, because the server was inaccessible for such a long period of time, it prevented the takeoff/landing scripts from running, along with all the other routine scripts that run the game - so I'm sure that caused some things to get wonky. 

I'll give ya'll an update when I have a better picture of when exactly the game will be available again. Sometime this weekend for sure, though.

I have created a route and assigned a aircraft to that route but at Airline Overview, it did not reflect it as departing soon

I want to cancel a flight that is already scheduled. I went to route management and cancel that flight but it says its already scheduled for departure. It have not depart yet and it is still on the ground. How to cancel it.

Folks,

Can I ask a ball park figure on what players are seeing as aircraft profits?

I'm seeing anything from 1.5 mil to 5 mil for an A319
Then I'm seeing minus figures for regional aircraft and older classic B737's

Hi.

Despite the bugs, the game is getting better and better. I want to thank Unknown98 with my heart for their great effort and tell him to go ahead with the game. This must be real difficult and we are so annoying (At least me).

Regards.

The proposed weekly fixed cost for each aircraft family has been added to the aircraft research page. Take a look and provide feedback if you wish, let me know if you think the costs are too high/low. 

Family Mx cost is based on the average size of all aircraft in the family, with a modifier added to account for the average age of all the aircraft in the family. So larger & older aircraft families will have higher weekly costs. I am in the process of implementing engine types to each aircraft in-game, which will lower family costs for prop aircraft as well as take into account # of engines when calculating the cost. Maintenance costs have been adjusted to account for # of engines (more engines = more expensive) and engine type (prop = cheaper, jet = normal price)

These costs have not been implemented yet, but I will post a game update once they are added to the weekly costs that are taken out each Friday at noon UTC.
