title says it all,

how does the game calculate the overall reputation? (FORMULA)

As has been planned for many months, simple political restrictions have just now been implemented into the route creation process of the game. This does not affect routes/flights already created, it only affects new routes created after this point in time.

I am calling it "simple" political restrictions because it lacks some of the more detailed aspects of a full system like route-specific restrictions, airport time restrictions, 5th freedom flights, country-specific restrictions and so on. Those will come after the reset as feature enhancements. However, it does offer support for the EU. In short:

If you are not based in the EU:

1) Your flights must begin or end from your home country. Two consecutive flights outside of your home country are not allowed.

If you are based in the EU:

1) Your flights must begin or end from either your home country, or a country in the EU. 
2) If you are flying to a country that is not in the EU, the other airport must be in your home country (as in real life).

That's it. As time goes on we will perfect this system and add more restrictions and allowances to reflect real political restrictions. 

About Brexit, if/when that happens, it will be handled at that time. As of right now the UK is still part of the EU. But if Brexit does happen after the reset, then routes violating the new restrictions would most likely be manually cleared from the database. That's the simplest way to do it. Perhaps with a little warning or cushion time in between to give airlines that operate those routes time to prepare.

I just added an airport and the game said it was successfully entered into the database, but I cannot launch routes there (it says invalid code) and when I go to the airport research for Sri Lanka it still only shows one airport, which shouldn't be the case, as I just added an airport.

Today as I was navigating in Airline Enterprise, I encountered a 502 Bad Gateway - cloudflare error 3 times just by clicking on a link, and not one specific one either. I think there might be a slight problem or bug in the game. Can you look over it please, Developers?

Does anyone else notice this error?

Hi

I have come across a very strange bug.

One of my long haul planes simply stopped flying after landing at my home base. The aircraft status went grey ("on ground") and the plane has been sitting there for several days.
I have tried to de-activate and activate the route, change it to a different aircraft and then back to the original one, but nothing works. The aircraft status remains grey and the plane just won't fly anymore.

Now a short haul plane has started to do exactly the same.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Many thanks.

Stefan

Hi, I'm a new guy here. I've set up my aircraft to fly a few different routes once daily, but this always never happens. Eg, flight should fly SIN-KUL once a day, but after flying once on Day 1, it will be scheduled to fly on Day 3 instead. I had to deactivate and cancel flights for it to fly the next day. What have I done wrong?

Is there any changes in the policy that Red Eye flights will have less or no loads ? from 10th Jan, i'm experiencing very less (less than 10%) loads on all my red eye flights.

From not having F and i have a decent IFS and its free and my seats have ife, my route on a 737-900 is punished for not having F in my reputation, is there any way this can be addressed so we are not penalized for not having F on an aircraft like this on a route that`s not that far?

Thank you lads

Hi everyone, so as all of you may know the next part of this closed beta is to implement political restrictions. As a result, I would like to help Unk compile a list of restrictions by region so that he can try to implement it in game together with the political restrictions. Problem is that I am not really familiar with some of the countries and their restriction. (Even if I am familiar I don't have time to double check it)

So here is what I am going to do. Basically, here is the link to the current list where I am compiling. I will start with Asian countries first before moving on to other regions. What you can help me is to provide me some of the restrictions that you know about countries, and submit them below in this format.

Region:
Nation:
Description of restriction(s):
References:

Please try to make them as accurate as possible. The restrictions you can provide include, but not limited to:
1. Domestic/International Airport
2. Noise/Time Restrictions
3. Route Restrictions (eg. FNJ airport in Pyongyang only allows for flights to China because of UN sanctions)
4. Aircraft/Capacity Restrictions

Thanks!
