Short AI flights
« on: July 29, 2018, 02:20:30 pm »
I've noticed that Air Paris, which I presume is an AI airline, flies from CDG to ORY, which are both airports in Paris. This 34km flight doesn't seem very realistic to me and I was wondering if there are more AI flights like this and if they are profitable and whether they are helping player airlines this way or not. They should at least be highly unprofitable, in this example it's a high capacity flight too.

More like i just haven't coded intelligent enough when I generated routes for those AI airline  ;D

I will improve the algorithm but probably wouldnt' re-generate those AI airlines as they usually help players more (connection flights) than hurting (competition - they are not that competitive due to low quality and static supply - usually not that high)

And i also need to address this https://github.com/patsonluk/airline/issues/42


Take note that even if direct demand is eliminated, there might still be demand for connection flights i would need to see what i can do with that :)

Quick thoughts - perhaps i will just ban all flights <= 50 and remove all existing routes with it

Removed all routes that are <=50 km

Disallowed any route <= 50 km  ::)
