General Discussion / Re: Fuel Burn
« on: October 03, 2018, 01:48:21 am »
I adapted this equation directly from the game code:

loadfactor = sold seats / capacity

if link duration < 90min
   ascend, descendtime = (link duration / 2)
   fuelburn * 10 * ascendtime + fuelburn * descendtime * 0.08 * frequency

else   #fuel burn is higher for the first 60min
   ((fuelburn * 10 * 45 + fuelburn * (linkduration - 30)) * 0.08 * frequency) * (0.7 + 0.3 * loadfactor)


Using your example: CS100 with a fuel burn of 438 on a 7h34m flight (454m) (1 flight = frequency of 1)

It's longer than 90min, so we use the 2nd equation=

((438 * 10 * 45 + 438 * (454 - 30)) * 0.08 * 1) * (0.7 + 0.3 * 1) = $30624,96

First off, thanks! That's great. Secondly, where did you get access to the game code from!? I've been trying to hunt down the backend code but couldn't find anything accessible...

So, as an example, if I'm flying a CS100 with a fuel burn of 438 on a 7h34m flight (454m) that would equate to 0.08 * 438 * 454?
If not, can you post an example?

Thanks

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone knows, or if Patson can confirm, how fuel burn is calculated? I'm a bit of a perfectionist with things and I like to eke out as much efficiency as possible... Currently, I'm assuming that the fuel burn figure given for the aircraft is per person per KM, so for the Cessna 421, you'd end up with 0.0006/person/KM.

Thanks,

Airport and City Suggestions / Banjul Airport - The Gambia (BJL)
« on: September 10, 2018, 10:53:33 am »
When I visited south Senegal we flew into Banjul and drove across the border into Senegal. However, Banjul doesn't even exist on the map! Can you add Banjul? Ziguinchor airport is quite small compared.

Bug Reports / Website not loading

I don't know if it's just me, although I've tried on a couple of different devices from a couple of different internet connections, but I can't get on the website. Has something gone wrong?

Is there any chance we could have the option to make an advance re-payment on loans? I've got a few outstanding that I could pay off chunks of...

Thanks,
