OK - you started spaming on the user-advisory board and were baned for a while. You start spamming over here right now again . Is it so difficult to just accept something which is not working like you have dreamed of? Please stop spamming around otherwise the ban will not lifted again that early.
yep croydon only has 339/1200 players
so my RIGHT OFF FREE SPEACH IS BANNED. ALL I WANTED TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE OPINIONS
You can - but right of speach is not the same as right of spaming.
i am discussing this topic(started by me) and finding out what people think
voting seams to want agex too stay so lets see the next voting result
Regardless of the result of your voting … it has been very cleary communicated by the team that the AGEX will stay anyway …
i know but its posted in the suggestions and ideas form
then make a suggestion with what a system do you want to replace the AGEX?
i am thinking about it then i will post
I like the AGEX overall but on Croydon for example I wish overall demand were slightly higher so it could accommodate more players and flights. As it stands there’s only a dozen or so active players and many of the world’s airports are fairly wide open. Add in the excess capacity of A/C and you have fairly screwy situation in terms of realism. The main thing I think could be improved is the sheer volatility of the AGEX. It goes up 40 one day, down 2 the next, down 30 the next, and so forth. It’s so unsteady that it makes expansion near hard and unpredictable. Of coarse I’m aware it could always go back into 1000’s but that’s seems like a rather far-fetched concept seeing as I thought 700 was floor, yet we’ve dipped to 697 in recent days…
PS Ringo, Free Speech is not protected by private entities, AS has no obligation to let you keep saying what you want on these forums. Relax, there’s no conspiracy here to screw you or anything.
Rıch the volatility of the AGEX is not really a problem. The main index is 1000 which is a 100%. If it goes up 30 in one day and 40 down in the next it’s a difference of 4% one day and 3% another day. Which is nothing. If you think about it for low demand lines it’s 1 person a day. And for high demand routes it’s still not even a 1/8 of a larget plane but there are dozens of planes every day = no real difference. The overall trend is more important and that can’t be followed on a daily basis. Like if it drops for 350 in two months than the amount of people lowers by 30% which is a difference. But daily change of 3% plays no real role and for the top notch lines quite well simulates that there is a slightly different amount of passengers every day 
The thing is, AGEX was constantly going down since it was implemented, with only a few days which it would go up by 3 or 5 points. Only in the past few days has it been going up by 40 then down by 30, which is an upward trend, thankfully.
I guess since we’ve never had this situation before, we weren’t well equipped to deal with it. That is why many companies have lost traffic and lots of money in the past few weeks. Players didn’t react to the change because they probably taught that the market would go up again, and not need to downsize their airline (at least that was how I was reacting)! Now we know, at least I have, how to better react.
I wonder if AS admins have control over AGEX, I understand for every lows there will be highs, and so on so for, on Meigs right now we’re also in an economy downturn but so far I’m not getting effected by the system as much.
Also, shouldn’t fuel prices be effected by AGEX too? at least for a way to compensate lower demand…
You are on to something here.
In the real world -(excluding inflationary depressions/recessions)- fuel prices would fall with the fall in demand for air travel. I think this needs to be changed so they trend in the same way - eg high demand high fuel price. low demand low fuel price.
Also in the real world - especially in the last months - you could see, that these relationship is not given anymore.
But this relationship in the real world defies economic theory, it all has to do with Captain Ben printing a crap load of US dollars, and the bond markets being manipulated (this will lead to inflationary depression coz ya can’t just print money) . With a natural economic cycle and sound monetary policy (no printing money to cover government debt) the cycle should trend as I said before. So i guess if you base your prices on the crap they are doing at the moment in the EU and USA to bail everyone out etc etc then i guess it is ok. But if you base it on sound economic theory (eg supply/demand ratio) they it should be as I said.
Also, if we are basing prices on the real world interest rates should be 1% and stay there until helicopter ben puts them up (ie probably after the inflation reaches 10%). The interest rates in the real world are not market based.
You forget that when the prices go down the most logical thing for OPEC is to drasticaly reduce the oil production to push the prices up.
In the end it’s good to keep both random as it might or might not work in real world
We must keep AGEX!
We have to be realistic !
In the real world there are pax booms and recessions, so let keep AirlineSim realistic, unlike other airsims.
but it would be nice if we could see a prediction or something like that
