Patson,

Love the game, really nice to have the connecting passengers flow. That bit is missing from all other airline sims.

Can we add more categories to the Rankings page? Maybe Airline Value or Profit Margin? That way people can reach for a goal that isn't just about moving the most amount of passengers.

Also, have you thought of making the world economy variable? Either through fluctuating oil prices or world-wide rise and fall of passenger demand?

Lastly, can you re-look the ability of passengers to connect in other countries? Very little countries in Africa or SE Asia(China and India) have the ability to connect internationally which limits what airlines based there can do.

These are minor requests, overall the game is great. Thanks for putting it together for us to enjoy.

Thanks,
Auburn Airlines

Thanks for all the kind words! :D

I totally agree with missing flight connections from some other games, that's the original reason I started working on this game hehe . I am thinking of ways to do some better analyzes or prediction when players want to setup new route/evaluate existing route.  :)

More categories to ranking page - Yes for sure! I will consider airline value and profit margin, on top of that i was also thinking of adding passengers per continent etc

World economy more variable - this is doable, but i need to be very careful - i don't want to make the fluctuation of condition become a burden (tweak stuff back and forth) instead of adding more fun :) . My longer range goal is to allow airline to invest into airport to affect demand, but it's kinda a long term goal. (and my next expansion space and beyond...kekeke)

Connecting to other countries - Ah i see what u mean, China is still a very good base for hub as international passengers can take domestic flight of china to get to other cities instead of the gateway ones. One thing i could consider is if a country has good relationship with an airline, it might grant it sixth freedom (that's something an airline has to do to gain favor from a country) would be fun to work on...i will see what i can do with that ;)
