I’m getting very annoyed with the new fuel rates.

It goes up and down as one would expect, however the new rates appear to discriminate anyone in the GMT or CET timezone as it the price never seems to go below $1,800 all day then dips to $400 at about 3am GMT and rises quickly again so that the early risers are met with a $1,800 price again.

And now, for no fathomable reason, my stock rate has dropped an entire 1 cent in the last 2 hours. That is a lot when only sitting at 21 cent. This despite all aircraft running at about 95% load, 100% satisfaction and making close to $1m in one single click of a button! (I had made sure my entire fleet was at base last night before signing off, then I sent them all out this morning).

And getting annoyed at a game is just silly. So, if it doesn’t improve in the next few days. I’m quitting.

The fuel thing doesn’t annoy me that much, I seem to remember that when I started playing this game a couple of weeks back it was not unheard of to have $400 or $500 fuel prices in the middle of the day, though not seen them recently! I usually stay up until 1am anyway and it is rarely above $500 at that time so I buy then, bought 1.3m lbs this morning at that price!

Advertising does get me annoyed slightly, unless you go for the more expensive options it seems to have little effect on pax loads. I only have advertising for my most profitable flights DUB-ALC, and BHD-ALC, soon also to have AGP from both those airports! I find that even with billboard adverts, I make back the money in one of my 4 flights a day! All my shorter flights I go without advertising and sometimes I get flights at 100% or close to it, especially if demand is high.

EGPH, you’ve got a lot to answer for starting this thread! I was happily oblivious to Airline Manager before. Now I keep going to bed late because I end up sitting here thinking “If I wait 15 mins I can despatch that flight” and then “Oh, if I wait another 20 that one can go”…. Should be asleep now but I’m hoping fuel will drop to $400 at 1am and then I’ve got $3million to spend on it. I’m so tired!

My apologies, I think you should start a law suit against the creator though :P. I must say that the behaviour you have described rings true with me as well! Though I tend not to despatch any flights after about 10pm if they have to be returned. I always finish a day with all planes back at base! That won’t last long though! 😛

Just bought 110,000 shares 🙂

Thank you for your very large investment! Trying to save money at the moment so bought only 15,000 in your airline though will probably make a bigger investment later in the week once I have a bit more spare cash!

Aer Eireann is finally on the stock market!! You need to have a stock rate of more than 10 cents to be included. So remember the name if your looking for stock that will work for you: Aer Eireann!
