Why do certain routes go from 80-100 capacity and huge profit to low or negative numbers instantly, re-entering the price will usuallly bring it up (not usuallly to the same level) Makes you afraid to leave your computer!

oooh, that is so informative.. i am sure he can understand from what you just said kevin...

basically what the load factor bug is, is an error in the coding that when a person joins a route, it affects the route to much, so you have to reset your prices. So its just a fact of the game so... just stay on 24/7 and fix all your routes all the time

I have heard of that bug, but nobody joined that route last night or for the last week. I wish I had computer access at work!

why do that? Hatred is so much more fun when simply viewed in actions, not heard in words. In the words of Frylock:
Aliens! Are you a peaceful race?

Oglethorpe:
Well yes! We're barbequeing, are we not?

I just lost nearly $20,000 in POD just by switiching the aircraft

. The freq. stayed the same, and the other aircraft is no longer on the route (it was for a meir 2min, and when I then went to change the new aircraft's freq. up it went down another $4,000.)
