Hi

It is good to have a shared gate for free cost until you use it but I think an airport should charge a penalty fee to the airline that does not use a gate at least once a week if you have decided to keep it.

Greetings.

I have done a lot of work today on the routes system, now that I've dealt with re-organizing the demand formula. After about 6 hours of contemplating my life and wondering why in the hell I decided to implement time zones, I think I've got it working correctly. Lets just say there is a reason Airline Empires and Airway Sim and Airline Mogul and all those other airline games only allow you to do hub and spoke style routes... I've found that reason.

Before I get ahead of myself and try to continue with this system, I'd like a few extra sets of eyes to look over everything and make sure it's working as intended and that the time zones are converting correctly. You can get to the route creation page by going to Manage Airline --> Routes --> Create Route. 

Enter your initial departure airport, initial local departure time, and then the # of stops you want. Hit the configure route button. That will bring you to the next page where you input the airports for each stop and select the aircraft you want to assign to the route.

Then hit the set up departure times button. You will be presented with an overview of your entire route, complete with distance between each stop and the calculated arrival times for each stop. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate it a bit better. It's not necessarily the prettiest or most UI-friendly system as of right now.



So as you can see the game uses the "Ready at" times of each stop as the departure times for the next leg of the flight. This is the earliest your flight could depart. Of course if you change that for one flight it would affect all the flights below that. So for example in the screenshot above I depart stop 1 - JNB at 03:24. Lets say I change that to 03:30. That would then mean I would have to depart stop 2 - CPT at 06:54 (+6 mins) and wouldn't arrive at stop 3 - JNB until 09:58 (+6 mins). Those calculations are not done in real-time on the page, you'll have to do them manually. 

I realize that the last stop still has the drop down boxes for a departure time even though it's the last stop and you won't be departing to anywhere. Ignore that for now, I'll remove them later tonight or tomorrow, whenever I get the courage to look at this code again lol.

Again this system doesn't actually insert any routes or function yet. I just want to ensure everything is being calculated correctly. Correct distances, arrival times, and so forth. It's a complicated system with lots of variables and I easily could have missed something. I have implemented checks to make sure each leg of the route is within range of the selected aircraft, as well as checking runway lengths of each stop to make sure they are long enough. The system should tell you if you've exceeded the limits of your aircraft and throw an error telling you which stop the issue occurred at.

If this all seems to be functioning correctly, I'll continue with the system tomorrow and hopefully soon we will have routes working in the game

Hi.

What is the effect of leaving 0.1 seats remaining in a seat configuration?

Thanks.

On the Airline Overview page can we have Total Revenue and Net Profit mentioned?

Hi.

Thank you Unk for your great work.


After having a long list of airports to be served it is hard to find an especific route. Is it possible to add a searching box in the Quick Flight page?

Thanks.

Hi

To prevent the abuse of selling aircraft in the used aircraft market there should be a penalty fee let´s say 20% of the price it was bought

Thanks.

Hello.

What is the use of increasing the Additional Turn Time on an aircraft?

Thank you.

Hello.

To be more dramatic, an advertisement should appear when we sell or buy airplanes. The page is a bit cold in this issue.

Thanks.
