Hi guys,
Thanks for reading my topic in advance. Ok, lets get right into it, I have two ideas I´d like to share:
1) Change the way how the age of an A/C influences the rating in the ORS. In the real world a passenger judges an airplane by public perciption ("I know Boeing, Airbus, Embrear and Bombardier, I heard of them before, I trust them.") and by what they are offered on board. For example, the average passenger would rather fly in a 15 year old airplane that has a cabin which has been overhauled 2 months ago, than in a 5 year old plane which is still rocking the very first generation of worn out interior.
Your normal passenger will never ever check the flight number, find out the registration of the plane beeing used that day and look-up its age. No, they just board the plane and they see "Nice, fancy new seats and great lighting, I like that!" or "Eww, looks like straight from the ´90s...". Therefore I would recommend to drop the aircraft age rating and replace with something like how well the cabin in maintained, or just drop it all together.
2) Only few players buy into terminals, but especially long-term players tend to do and so did I.
I think it is pretty unrealistic that the game only calculates how many passengers in total per day are going trough your terminal and then compares it to the total available capacity per day. Its not like all departures and arrivals happen at the same time and than the airport is abbandonend for the rest of the day. No, all the arrivals and departures are spread out troughout the day.
Therefore I can handle over 82.000 passengers with a terminal capacity of just 30.000 and haven´t had a single cancelled flight yet, due to an overbooked terminal. I think it would be super helpful to have a graph, showing how many passengers depart/arrive at a certain point during the day. Then one could read out the peaks and design its terminals for the peaks.
Anyways, those are just two things that came into my mind, maybe you find them helpful, who knows.
Best regards and sorry for my spelling errors, must be "fun" to read that crap -_-
