Ticket Prices

Is there any chance to have a tool or table in order to predict the acceptance of a given price by our virtual passengers? So far it is trial and error. In real life airlines perform market investigations prior a price announcement. Such a tool would help us all and would increase realism.

Hm, wouldn't it be boring if you could calculate how many passengers you get ? Why not trying to do your own market investigations here on FlyNET? There already is the standard ticket price, which is 100% accepted by the passengers. If you are above, the number decreases and if you are below, it increases. And it also depends on your reputation. If I would tell you how exactly these values are connected, wouldn't that be a bit too easy ? Though there's also a small number of passengers which are assigned to your flight randomly.

Yes, I see your point and you may be right. Now I think a market investigation could be simulated by each VA having a look on other VAs completed flights.
