It is in world B-IX.   I have each plane configured to hold 385 people-DC-10 and 552 people on the 777-300.   The profit for each segment is $3980 for the 777 and 143,000 for the DC-10.   Seems very strange.  

B IX is still running the old fuel model, the new fuel model had all the planes audited so it should be fixed there. 

Which world is that? 

Hmm, will try to take a look tonight.

Are you sharing the gate with your alliance? If not then that is a bug. Which world is this in?

But would it be possible to have a private message that no one else can see or do we have that

You can send in private messages but that's difficult to moderate considering I have neither an easy way nor the desire to read PMs (I suppose I could go into the DB and read them if I really wanted to, but I'd need a really good reason to go through the effort). So if you open a link in PMs, I'm sorry but you're on your own then.

Locking this topic 

@someone Thank you for your response and I do appreciate the reflection. Seeing as this account has not logged into the sim and appears to just exist for the purposes of posting this, I will not extend the ban and you are free to come back to the sim when the ban expires on May 27th. For what it's worth I do believe that there are two people involved with the Aurora account, when it was first floated to me that @bhsd7th might be the same person I checked the IP addresses for each of the posts from both accounts and they were different, it wasn't until after that the accounts started sharing an IP address. Since all of this happened over a short period of time, I doubt that this is the work of a single person unless you kept changing your IPs. That said, as I said before the whole ordeal, you may have 2 people on one account but will ultimately share in the responsibility so that account will remain banned as well. 

Thank you also for clarifying how you got the information, to this end I will strengthen policies on my end by banning all external links/communication from being shared. This already exists where it needs a moderator approval to post (this was mostly done to stop the spam bots), but I will extend it to the whole community writ large to avoid such unintentional leaks in the future.

I will also close the ISA per your request. 

Seriously, it's not fooling anyone. I'm extending the ban, adding IP ban and giving one last warning, any other attempt at ban evasion and it's perma-ban time.

I am legit concerned, how could he just find out location that easily?! I’m probably going to delete my account after this, but I just want to know if anyone can tell me how he could possibly find this out!?

I can confirm that he never had access to any data from here (was never a moderator etc.), if he ever shared any links it's possible that he got the ip off of that. If he did he would be able to tell what city that IP belongs to as well as the ISP (all public data), but not the exact subscriber info (he'd need to go to the ISP for that).

And can we confirm that he isn’t some 40 year old creep? There really isn’t any way that we can verify he was using a school moderated Chromebook I don’t think.

Without going into details but based on account info available, I am fairly confident he is who he says he is. 

I have accelerated World C I to 15 minute days. 

I apologize for the issues regarding event manager stopping, I have deployed a patch to automatically run a health check and restart it, it seems to be working and restarting as expected. Still need to root cause the issue but hopefully this should act as a fix for now, will also keep it for the future as it seems to be a common issue. Attaching the screenshot of the dashboard for reference.

Is the fuss over?

I don't know, but locking this thread for now. On the bright side I was able to deploy a health check script that restarts event manager automatically and it seems to be working. I will check it after my flight and if it works will speed up world C I (not a permanent fix, but it's a fix). 

Hi! You cannot add stopovers in countries other than your own unless you're in Arcade world, which does not have political restrictions

@sviridovt There is one thing I want to clarify, because nowhere in the sim is this mentioned. The Aurora International LLC account is used by two people. Can this be continued or should we only have one person with access to the account? This whole drama happened because one of the people on this account sent the message to @Freedom Airways INC. without consulting the other one. 

I dont have a problem with yall sharing accounts, though ultimately I will hold the account as a whole responsible for any issues, so its at your own risk. 

Hi! What is going on here? A couple of things, 

1. Can we please tame the rhetoric and keep the discussion civil. I won't lock the thread but consider this a warning

2. Aurora is not and has never been a mod in the game or the forum and does not have power to remove anyone as a leader of alliance in game (unless they are the founding member). As for Star Alliance, I can see that he is an alliance moderator, with @Sky Global Holdings as the owner. I generally try to stay away from alliance drama and so leave it up to @Sky Global Holdings to deal with regarding moderatorships in alliances. 

3. I didn't read the entire thread (it's a handful, lots of accusations flying around), but if anyone believes there is any other issues requiring moderator intervention, either in game or the forum feel free to PM me and I will deal with it. 

Thanks! 

The issue is that the event manager keeps stopping after a few hours. I am on a work trip so have limited time but will take a look this weekend. 

There is an issue going on right now with background tasks post update. I am on a work trip so my time is very limited to look at it, hence I've just been restarting it manually. I do apologize for the inconvenience. 

Ill take a look wjen I get back from my work trip

This seems to be an issue with your browser. Try to press ctrl + shift +r to reload the cache. If that does not work, can you open the developer options (whrn you right click) and share any errors that might show up there. Thanks! 

Ive been restarting celery processir as I see it going down. Have wirk trip this week so no ti.e to root cause, I deployed a little script that should hopefully restart it automatically until I have time to look it (though untested, so will check if it will work)

It looks like this configuration is edit locked since it's in use on a plane. For that case you would need to create a new configuration and change the plane over to that one (since you can't change a configuration that's in use). For configurations that are not edit locked you would see a small x that will allow you to delete a class from a plane. 

I don't like this page, it's not great UI and it has some issues (namely it spams the backend with every edit), it is high on my list of things to kill in my UI redesign.

I know that inflation is factored into fuel prices. However, after a while, if fuel prices double, then we would be spending so much more money on fuel and not be making as much money in profits. So I think that in the next series of updates, maybe the one with the feature where you can follow the airline, you should write in increases in the amount of money customers are willing to pay, and automatically increase the prices every airline is charging by whatever percent the fuel inflation is. This would make sure that in the long run weekly income does not decrease. 

The next update isnt necessary the folloe update, its mors on bucket list and is not necessarily the highest on my priority list :p . However I would not be willing to increase willingness to pay, this is for a few reasons: 

1. The game is already too easy imo, this would only make it easier. 

2. I had considered adding full inflation model into the sim some time ago, but opted against it as I dont want to add a chore to players constantly having to increase prices to account for inflation. Its not fun for the user. 

3. I want to make the sim more about broader management, like fleet management staff, strategy etc and move away from having to make constant micro adjustments to flight prices. 

However to address your concerns, the fuel prices are currebtly adjusted for inflation, and the increases are as well. Yes, prices for fuel increase over time relative to willingness to pay, but that is also realistic and an issue airlines IRL have to deal with (hence airlines always looking to maximize fuel efficiency). In the future years the fuel increase does stop (I forget the exact year, I want to say 2030 ish), with the new model price will still fluctuate around that and in the old model it will be flat.

So what do you have to do to get those international flights

For that flight your airline would have to be based in either US or Mexico

There appears to be an increase in database operations tied to updating demand causing slower than usual updates. I am investigating though I am on a work trip thos week and hence my time might be limited. 

Arcade still uses the old model, but does have inflation hence prices will slowly increase over time. The old system has a quirk whereby prices would only updare when flight updates, so flights with little action wont see increases. As part of the update all prices were recalculated, hence why you might notice increases even in worlds not using the new model.
