Bug Reports / Alliance page is broken

Can't see any alliances on the alliance page

One thing you might be able to do, if you're able to send out mass-emails to the addresses utilized during registration (or can implement the ability to do so), is create an automated process which, after an account has been inactive for a certain period of time, sends out an email warning of possible suspension/bankruptcy/whatever. You could potentially set it up to only affect accounts after x number of days after an email notification or after x number of email notifications sent at certain intervals. Imposing a forced bankruptcy after, say, six months of inactivity is far less unreasonable if every three months of inactivity triggers an email reminder saying "hey your account might get deactivated if you don't log in once." Maybe something to consider as an alternative if you can't get the freeze to work quite right, or as an additional measure to be used at the extremities (maybe to purge accounts that are inactive for like 2+ years or something).


Problem is, people who are on hiatus usually have a reason IRL to go on hiatus. This game could likely be the furthest from their mind at the moment that email was sent to them, so you're going to see a lot of people ignoring these emails. And then we're back to the problem of coming back after X months/years once the reasons for hiatus are gone and finding the airline forcibly purged. Generally, any solution that purges airlines I disagree with.

As someone who has come back to the game after a year's hiatus and has since been playing daily, I would not like to come back to see my airline forcibly rebuilt/bankrupted.

Maybe a better way would be to not include their routes in pax sim calculations, pause their airline state, after a certain period of inactivity (e.g. 3 months is fair to me), and unfreeze their routes once they come back. That way, they won't lose their bases, their routes, their money, and it wouldn't cause a strain on the simulator, and virtually frees up routes for newer players.

Airport and City Suggestions / Uruguay Airports

Would like to petition a review on the Uruguayan airports in-game. They're far too small and unpopulated compared to their real-life counterparts (especially PDP and MVD)
