how do I increase my reputation? and some routes are negative now

[Unknown98]

It would be 50% but I think I am going to change that.

It counts against your overall reputation, but overall reputation is no longer used to calculate demand.

Each class has its own reputation and your average reputation in each class is what affects demand. So not having a business or first class in an IFS if that IFS is used on an all-economy aircraft will not affect demand for economy class.

But will it affect my overall first or business class reputation, thus reducing demand on other flights which offer first/business with a different IFS config?

[Unknown98]

As of right now yes, but as I said above I think I will modify the formula so that flights that do not offer a class (thus having 0% rep for that class) will not be included in the average of the reputation for that class.

Flight 1 - Y: 100% Y+: 100% J: 0% F: 0%
Flight 2: Y: 100% Y+: 100% J: 100% F: 100%

Your reputation for J and F would be 50%. This is how it is now. What I would like to do is not include those 0's in the average formula.

I think this is the problem with the reputation system currently:

Economy class are allowed the same options that first class has, and in order to max out economy rating you have to offer the same IFS as first while giving them a bad seat, which is somewhat silly . Why not realistically cut the option that each class has from first class down? For example, I don't think any airline ever served a gourmet 3-course meal in economy; maybe a hot/cold full meal or hot/cold light meal can be the limit of quality offered in economy, and offering such an option should enable one to max the reputation for that class of seating. Then for premium economy onwards the limit is set slightly higher and the full list of options should be available in first class. However, it is up to people to let first class customers suffer economy treatment, because technically an airline could offer peanuts as a snack to first class (although that is one stingy airline); but to serve hundreds of customers in economy a gourmet three-course meal is just crazy and unheard of

Also, how does one ever manage to stick a big IFE screen on a small economy seat back? Maybe the same idea for options can be applied to the IFE too - in economy the screens can only be mid-sized at max and so on.

Another way that allows players more freedom would of course be to just lower the demand for quality in each class, so that maybe a light meal can already be max for reputation in economy while each higher class demands more, but players still have the choice to offer a three-course gourmet meal in any class if they wish . But that way may be a little bit harder to program? At least to me it seems a bit unrealistic.

Just a few suggestions of mine ( in a somewhat long post )

+1.

Thanks.

I wanted to say this but my english sucks and I get quite tired trying to say this (Lol).
In fact I have a 100%  reputation with this config but it is horrible. I prefer to lose 50% or 60% demand but this is not correct for that you have said.
