Hi -- I started up my airline, bought a plane and added a route. I even started making money (or so I thought). All of a sudden, I am getting hit regularly with massive airport fees of more than a million. Where is this fee coming from and how do I avoid it? I'm so far in the hole, I'll never get out. So, what did I do to incur this fee and how do I delete the airline and start over? Thanks.

Thanks, I always have the error of discontinuing from the flight planning. Now I understand now thanks

Okay mate

Yea

I see. I do think that the ultra-realistic game mode would be nice to see. Thanks for the great information.

Route buying only works for regulated markets (US pre 1970's for instance, or many international flights), however I feel like this is one of those things that while realistic, would take away from the game. This is an interesting mechanic that I want to explore at a later time, however it would probably be restricted to only a few special circumstances (flights between US and Cuba for instance), and/or be made a part of some sort of a special ultra-realistic game-mode if it is ever to be implemented.

This is a great change of ideas! Love it! Would it also be cool if you could ‘buy’ certain routes from other airlines. The reason I am thinking this is because once a route fills up, let’s say JFK to LHR, you can’t add a flight and get profit without making the price smaller, which would make less profit. I think that airlines should be able to buy other airline’s routes. It would also make the game more realistic, like when Pan Am went out of business, other airlines, such as United, bought their important routes.

I'm supporting this, it's more realistic than current one

Awesome !!!!

Looking froward to all of this!

Hey Folks! Lately I've been working a lot on the new demand formula and all of the linear algebra involved with it (I guess @KJS607can take solace in my misery given how much work he'll have with all the new data parameters for different airports, cities and nations). With this, I can release a little bit more information about this algorithm. First, as mentioned in an earlier dev blog (which I will archive somewhere later, I was able to recover the old server HD, so I do have the pre-crash forums and I intend to archive the data from that forum somewhere, watch this space) th

Check those routes and see if your planes are out of cycles, if they are you will need to replace those planes.

Is anyone else seeing their ticket revenue not changing? It is now October 7 and I have zero ticket revenue. Just 3 quarters ago, I had almost 4 trillion in ticket revenue and over the last 3 quarters, it's gone down to averaging about 80 billion. For some reason, the game just randomly decides to not calculate ticket revenue at times. Sometimes more frequently than others. Thanks

Yes it is. Sometimes, it can go 7-8 days before it changes.

Finances take some time to update, is this a problem that persists over several days?

Notice nothing in the right hand column has changed although they are different days. That is some type of a programming problem. 😞

That seems about right, if you factor in competition and new planes.

I know, but all my flights are profitable. Check these screenshots out. You can see that the gross revenue number doesnt change from one day to the next. Some days it does, and some days it doesnt. Something isnt right with that.

Competition is another problem. A person who prices lower is undercutting your prices

I've checked all that. Like I said, one day the numbers will go up almost 2.7 billion and then next days, they dont change at all. Right now, its 7/7 and Ive earned zero dollars but have spent 36 million in maintenance leaving me in the hole 36 million for the quarter. It just makes no sense. My airport fees last quarter were only 168 million so I know it isnt that. I learned that lesson when I first started playing the game. I wish the developers would take a look but so far, they havent responded to my requests.

Well, check gate slots, prices, and idle aircraft. You could be running gate slots through the roof, pricing some tickets too low, or leaving some aircraft idle.

It seems to change each day also but some days, it doesnt change at all even though my expenses go up. Seems strange that one quarter I can make 225 billion and then next only about 55 billion. Something is strange. Thanks for responding.

It changes every quarter and you need to make profit. More flights don't mean more profit.

Does anyone else sometimes see their financial numbers not change at all for days at a time? Last quarter I grossed about 225 billion and this quarter I'll be lucky to gross 70 billion with even more planes? I'd love to know if anyone else has this problem. Thanks
