Hopefully I can help you understand -flightsimer wrote:i dont understand why this was done in the first place. couldnt you just limit the flights that are the same airport to airport, instead of causing everyone else that is doing fair flights to lose profit? and before this i only saw one company even doing that same airport to airport, so dont really understand why it was even done in the first place, since there was only one that i saw even doing it. dont get me wronge i dont think the same airport to airport is fair, but why punish other people that opperate the 747 on the short routes in japan or other places?
this is a game, we should be able to do flights from what ever airport to another airport with any aircraft. just because one airline didnt fly that aircraft on short flights before shouldnt mean that we cant.
This is a game, but it is also about having a degree of realism. How is it realistic to have a 747-400 flying a flight where in the real world the biggest plane on the route is a 737? Or, how is it realistic to allow people to fly a 747-400D from Dallas-Fort Worth Int'l to Alliance Airport, TX (a distance of just over 35 miles) and not penalize them? (not saying anyone's doing it now, but it has happened in the past)
The vast majority of pilots on this system are looking for flights that are fun and at least semi-realistic. They're looking for flights that they could see if they went to the airport in real life, not a bunch of super-mega jets flying into tiny little airports that weren't ever intended to support such large aircraft. We're working to find a happy medium here. Make it semi-realistic but not overly constraining. Make it where you can make a profit but not so easy to do so that you don't have to think a little first. As we move forward, you'll see it become harder to make money and you'll have to compete for the passengers and cargo you get. It's not a system here to give away free money, it's a system to recreate the real-life economic system on a more basic and "relaxed" level where it's still fun but challenging.
