Hi all,
Just want to provide some updates on the V1.1.
Currently on the list of V1.1 changes (subjected to changes)
1. A single airplane can now be assigned to multiple routes
2. Restrict 5 seat configurations per airplane model - the configuration is customizable and specific to each player. For the upgrade, a script will be run to find 5 configurations that matches the existing routes. If more than 5 seat configurations are found, then it will try its best effort to do the matching. The decision of restricting seat configuration is mostly based on some UI design consideration. This is also a bit more realistic. If 5 is not enough for you, then perhaps you will need to find the ideal configurations and adapt accordingly.
3. Airplanes will be assigned to a home base, and it can only fly routes from that home base. If a base is removed, then the airplanes will be sent to the HQs
4. Airplanes can switch home base
5. There will be a soft limit on how many routes can a base support (based on base level, the equation TBD). Routes exceeding that limit will be charged extra fees (TBD) for exceeding the operation capacity. This limit will be more on the generous side so it should NOT affect most of the existing airlines.
6. Introduction of "National Airline" and "Partnered Airline" (originally for v2), airlines that attain "National Airline" or "Partnered Airline" status with a country
- airline enjoys a more generous soft limit on routes.
- National airline get +15 loyalty boost cross country. Partnered airline +5
Currently working on point 1
