Thanks!

The new airplane feature in the lounge works great. I especially like how the aircraft "push-back" at departure time.

I did notice one interesting side effect with this new feature though. I scheduled 2 flights to depart at the same time. Plane number 1 arrived at the gate 30 minutes before departure and then pushed back at departure time.

Plane number 2 arrived 30 minutes after departure time and pushed back 60 minutes after departure time. In addition none of the passengers got up to board until plane number 2 arrived even though both flights were full. None of this had any effect on the actual flights though so just a visual side effect I suppose.

i'm using windows 7 x64 and the game keeps crashing in the middle of game play also the disc icon will not display in the drive. also when the game crashes i am on mission 4 and always on day 4or five. THIS GAME KEEPS CRASHING I HAVE UPDATED MY VIDEO CARD DRIVERS AND STILL BAMM!!!!! CRASH AND BURN. please if there is any answers to this problem I need help thanks

On freeplay mode, normal difficulty and 300M$ of starting money:

Tina Cortez and the militar guy went bankrupt after the very first day, with balances of -10M they were kicked from the game.

I was Igo Tupolevsky. Thing I did that might have pulled the bug: buy 6 "DJ" planes, route London-Johannesbourg and JHB-London and hire all the pilots and assistants.

Nothing more... it's very wierd and probably not easy to find that bug but ruins a game.

plane's turbo not working....

In the airplane design area, I can't remove logos from a plane once they've been applied (intentionally or accidentally). I run into this all the time by accidentally applying a logo to the entire plane instead of just an individual section. I can change the selected logo to a different one, but the entire plane is still permanently and irreversibly covered in logos. This is strange because I can cancel a paint job by exiting, but the logos are permanent once applied (even without confirming the final design). No combination of key strokes or clicks has any effect.

However, if I right click the plane while it's spinning on the pedestal, it completely disappears and I have to return to the main design area and go through the prompts again to view the plane design again.

Also, the same advisers keep reappearing in the hiring area after they've already been hired. Sometimes their salaries are more or less, but it's always the same 5 or 6 advisers over and over.

***Edit***

I actually figured out how to remove logos from a post on the German forum (thanks Google Translate!). The "Best Quality" logo in the logo selection is actually no logo at all! If the icon were at the bottom of the list like the "Standard" paint scheme, it would have been much simpler to find.

I kept trying and on every game starting with 300M 2 players go baknrupt the first day because they spend 400+M buying planes. After the second day, they are eliminated.

You don't need to do anything to trigger this bug, it always happens.

The locations of Halifax and New York are reversed.

i'm using windows 7 x64 and the game keeps crashing in the middle of game play and that it turns me off from playing. also the disc icon will not display in the drive.

I have employed an airplane advisor. When I am buying second-hand planes in the scrap yard, sometimes the advice seems to be wrong - like telling me that a plane has high maintenance costs when it does not. Sometime no advice appears at all - the message at the bottom of the screen just says *Date and time* Airplane advisor: *blank*.

Is this a bug or is it because my advisor is not very good? His skill is 5.

@flymke1200. Have you tired running the game on administration privileges I am on windows 7 x64 and not come across any loading or playing problems. If that not works you could try turning the graphics down to the medium setting.

yea i will try to run it as a administer. thanks and i have it playing on low i have a laptop. ill post if i have anymore problems.

A minor issue: sometimes the messages displayed at the bottom are so long that they are not fully displayed. For example, sometimes an advisor's advice is so long, that the message is truncated, and I haven't found a way to get the full message to display. So far, though, it's not been that big of a deal.

Hi, I'm playing the campaign as Natalie Childman and I'm about to start the second mission. The mission loads and the airport manager has had his little speech but when I click continue the game crashes, everytime!
Any suggestions? I'm going to try and start a new campaign and see if that helps, just thought you should know that it happens =)

[Edit] It seems to have been limited to my saved game. So no worries =) [/Edit]

What are your specs of your computer?
What OS have you got installed?

It's working now though and it was isolated to one saved game, I've restarted with another campaign with Natalie Childman and it worked. I'll keep you posted if it happens again.

I'm having a problem with scheduling.
In scenario 1, buy an umodified Afro DJ plane (will give 2h flighttime). add a LHR-FRA flight tuesday 6:00-8:00, and another 10:00-12:00. A green empty flight will show up 9:00-10:00. So far so good. Now I want to fill the gap with a FRA-LHR flight 8:00-10:00. It should be possible, but it is not. Similar problem if you just add a FRA-LHR flight with the plane in London. Then you cant place a LHR-FRA flight before and adjacent to it.

A cosmetical thing is that the IATA codes (FRA/LHR) should be uppercase in the schedule. Looks bad now.

you need to add the flight in to replace the green empty flight before putting the FRA/LHR sector in and it will let you without any problems.

My game randomly crashed when clicking the "Airplane has landed" button. Only happened once, during mission 1.

I think I found a bug in mission 3 - ("the lone flight route").

After I hire my spokesman (the top one; from "atomic energy"), and I go back to speak to the woman in the ad agency about my spokesman, she still says, "currently, nobody works for you." So I'm not sure if I actually hired a spokesman or not.

*EDIT:
This seems to happen for every (spokesman) option.
I'd click to hire a spokesman, and then when I ask about the spokesman I just hired, the woman says, "currently, nobody works for you."

I've also noticed that the airplane advisor always says that "the operating costs are very high" regardless of the plane's design. I think I got one plane's maintenance costs down to something like $300 per flight, and they still say that operating costs are very high.

Sometimes it locks up at the loading screen, (end of day) on the freeplay mode.

The games randomly crashes in the routes screen when playing the last mission in the list. I can get to the route list but as soon as I click any of the routes it crashes.

Reload and keep crashing.

Ended the day, got back the day after and still crashes.

Same thing happened to me on "Mission 04 - Total Control". I had to restart the mission, after which the problem went away.

But I noticed something else that was strange. At the beginning of the mission, after getting my first plane, I went to Ms. Selig and hired 2 flight attendants. But when I checked with Mr. Hagedorn for plane assignments, I found that only 1 flight attendant was hired. Unfortunately, I don't remember what their names were.

I had saved the game beforehand, so I reloaded it and tried it again and it happened again.

Not sure if it's important, but I'm using a Windows 7 x64 machine.

Kolibri Travels was annoying me so I hacked them. I used the best hacker in the world. It seems that the 16mil I spent was returned to me so I'm like YES!... I hurt them without paying for it really. So the next day I tried again just because. They took out 10mil in credit because of the damage I did to their bank account. I didn't expect to get anything. But I got another 16mil for paying 16mil. They didn't have the money. I tried again a two more times in that day. So I brought them down to -48mil because of the hacking. Through the night they ended up firing all their staff, buying a few more planes for shorter routes, along with renting those routes. They didn't sell any planes, or got rid of the expensive long range route. So at the meeting the next day they were bankrupt. I checked the stats for the previous day and they bought 400mil worth of short haulers. I don't think the ai is supposed to act like this when in danger, nor do I think I should be able to do what I did to their bank account. If they have no money you shouldn't be able to take money. And one last thing, I've tried the cheapest hacker at 2 million on someone else, and I took 2 million. Is the hacking supposed to be you receive what you pay for? Shouldn't it be say a percentage of what they have in their bank account instead? The hacking aspect just seems extremely broken.


*bought the game through steam the day it came out on steam so I'm using version 1.02*

This is a hidden bug. lol

There is aproblem with the load of pax in the routes. Lets use an example:

The route Dubai-Frankfurt with a demand of 1094.

And now the demand growth during the daytime:

0900 - 503pax
1000 - 525pax
1100 - 547pax
1200 - 579pax
1300 - 612pax
1400 - 667pax
1500 - 722pax
1600 - 820pax
1700 - 918pax

So, if I have a plane with the capacity of 720 seats, I can only schedule a departure time after 15:00, so my plane will be parked waiting for the demand to increase for 15hours... And it doesn't worth scheduling other flights as all the routes are nearly empty till that time of the day.

This has nothing to do with reality... Actually the busiest times of the day in reality are the early morning and the late evening flights, I know that as a fact because I work in the industry.

Can you change this calculation as it just doesn't help the strategy part of the game as usually we plan and create a strategy based on reality...

This limitation removes all the interest in the route system as it simply doesn't work. And we can't replace the routes with the contracts because that part (contracts) became nearly impossible to play with the changes made when the launching of AT2 (comparing with AT1/Evolution).

Thank you

This is not the only location problem. I was flying to another airport from halifax to the states.... and instead to pointed to an area overseas. I can't remember which one.

I kinda didn't like this since I'm in NS and picked Halifax as my home airport, and when I saw where it was located .......

I might go through and compile a list of the airports in the wrong spot. Unless someone has already done that?

The Background is flickering, when you watch take of with the plane, you now in the flightplan options in the corner of the menu.

When playing "Whole bunch of money" Getting contracts and clicking them or clicking them in the (T) shop game crashes 90% of time , pretty annoyed 50€ for that.

Running the Steam launched version 1.02. The game crashes a lot typically when selecting a route or a contract, although it has also crashed while building a plane. I've updated video drivers, increased my page file to 150% of my physical memory, and lowered game resolution to medium. The game still crashes but I have not captured an error message.

Another (minor) issue. Yesterday I made the mistake of replicating a plane at <100% maintenance level so it showed rust/dirt on the paint job. Once purchased the plane always displayed the rust/dirt on the paint even when at 100% maint level. I tried applying a new paint job, but that did not fix remove the dirt/rust. I replicated a new plane (only a few days old) that was in flight hence the less than 100% maint level. It seems to me bringing the plane up to 100% maint level should fix the paint just as it does on the plane that was replicated once maint reaches 100%
