I think the CEO of Griffair has a point. OK, the game is free but it's being hosted on facebook so if they are not able to handle the loads then they should quit. Also, as wayne said, the developers are making money from it.
Oh, and I'd sack the testers, they must be the worst testers ever :rolleyes:

I think facebook provides an initial platform and user data and then merely redirects to somewhere else. The 'developer' mentioned twice over the last two weeks that they are moving to more powerful servers (it was a bit faster the second time, but has since gone downhill).

Images are hosted on imageshak.us, activewebs.dk amongst others ....

There were multiple 1 hour updates during the day yesterday as well ... guess they are (or better: he is) applying some patches.

Also keep in mind, when this thread started there were probably a couple of thousand players, now AM has over 184'000 active users

good points, OK maybe I'm being a tad harsh, the game has seen massive surge in interest. However if the game remains as sluggish as it has been lately I will think about packing it in..I'm sure the developer isn't too worried but my stockholders will be:eek: (ahem, no, forget I said that

)

The_Conductor · 13-01-2010 4:31pm

I imagine a fair few people have made contributions to the developer through the upgrade scheme (they must have done- how else are there so many airlines with ridiculous valuations)- so there is a considerable base out there for whom the game has not been a free game. Servers are cheap- loadsharing easy to setup etc- I accept its a one man band- but perhaps its time that some of the cash generated was ploughed back into the game again?

angelwingz · 13-01-2010 6:01pm

just started this game got 12 routes in 4 days how do you lease aircraft???

angelwingz · 13-01-2010 6:02pm

how do l get to invest in others and how do l get investors in my airline angelwingz ??

manafana · 13-01-2010 6:30pm

hows things airlines, il be home at 6.30pm to spend the 80m on new planes, so shares will be going up

The_Conductor · 13-01-2010 7:22pm

What do ye think of the new cut down screen- its only showing 10 flights per page- regardless of whether you have flights getting c-checks etc.

cr*p, but I guess it cuts down on the server load (they have done a similar thing over a month ago, where the max flights you could sent off with one click was reduced from 20 to 10 flights).
With almost 400 routes I have between 8 to 35 C-checks per day at the moment. Not too happy clicking though 4 screens first before I can see the available aircrafts / routes.

Similar with the display of fuel and maintenance in the same window.... I was happier when it was in a separate page.

(but as I haven't paid a cent I am not complaining

)

A message to Griffair investers:

I have decided that from tomorow (01-14-10) I am selling off my entire fleet. The money that we make from this I am going to start afresh, building a better Griffair.

I suggest anyone with shares in Griffair to sell them before tomorow as shares will plumet back down to zero.

Tomorow will be a new chance for you to invest in Griffair when our stocks will begin at 0,01 again. This time though we will have a good few quid to splash out on new aircraft.

We estimate we will get $1,914,167,684 from sold aircraft tomorow.

Shane Slv · 13-01-2010 11:36pm

Will def be investing tomorrow. Just after selling some stock that has recently stopped increasing. My new rule is if stock dosent go up by more then .10 in a week i sell and invest in a better airline

.

wayne2107 · 13-01-2010 11:41pm

I will let you all know tomorow about an hour before i start buying new planes. This is a good chance for you all to make a fair few $$$$.

RangeAir Airlines wish to announce that the airline will undergo radical restructuring and hereby notifies all investors that the value of their investment may go down as well as up

You have been warned!

staker · 14-01-2010 12:29am

Interesting idea Wayne....

I'm looking to invest 100000 shares in someone, and my name's Theo Paphitis:p

Bought an A340-600 for 68ish mill, returned only 2.25 mil per flight, max airtime as well.
Bit disappointed with that tbh.
C-checks are here, but haven't been adversely effected yet as a lot of my earlier fleet have been sold.
Share price @ 16.73, Air Striker Airlines

Ted is back:D

I've sold all but 1 share, hoping to see it rise and get in there to re-invest my money. I bought 30,000 of your shares at €1.47 or so and sold them for €48 odd...Nice return

I've currently got €356 million in the bank and over 500 million lbs of fuel so I'm aiming for the 1 billion cash achievement which hopefully wont take too long but everytime I get above €450 million I always end up buying an A380 or two so I won't be investing in any new aircraft for a few days.

Share price now at €41.18 and still around 200,000 shares available to be bought.

Yeah, seems a lot better.

When this thread started there were circa 80k playing the game, thats more than doubled and together with other issues seem to have caused recent issues.

I was thinking of calling it a day but will plough on for another while.

lord lucan · 14-01-2010 9:48am

All i need now is an end to constant c-checks and i'll be laughing!

Still got a half a billion in cash- a few more A330-300s I think......
Thank god its actually working ok this morning.

The_Conductor · 14-01-2010 9:54am

Fuel @ 400

scudzilla · 14-01-2010 9:56am

I've 398mill in the bank and pulling in around 180mill a day, saving to get the 1billion achievement.

I bought 850,000lbs of fuel 2 weeks ago for the achievement, still got 334,000lbs left so thats making a difference

I desperately need 12 more pax bonus points, stuck on 1488 and need 1,500 to reset staff salary, i'm paying the lazy fcukers 112mill a month!!

Bit of advice, dont worry about staff salary, till you have almost got your 400 routes on big planes going for ya. Their cost isnt that big and it will be much better when you have a full compliment of staff working for ya and on massive wages due to strikes etc.
Then hit them with the reset, then youll see a massive saving.

wayne2107 · 14-01-2010 8:08pm

How much did u buy them at? Forgot to check before the big buy.

Dingatron · 14-01-2010 8:34pm

Aer Ding Airlines is seeing a nice bit of growth up from .10c to 1.39 a share.

Aer Ding is investing heavily on aircraft with 4 new A321-200 been purchased every day to eventually take over from the 60 aging Breguet 763's. These shares are predicted to steadily rise over the coming months and would be a wise investment!

wayne2107 · 15-01-2010 12:29am

There 31.68 now so they didnt go up by much. When i sold all my aircraft they levelled around the 20 mark, strange they never returned to 0.01.

phantom_lord · 15-01-2010 12:30am

bit odd that you're company can be valued at less than the cash you have on hand. anyway, some of you guys might enjoy this thread:

TirEoghain · 15-01-2010 4:50am

Tyrone airlines shares have taken a bit of a hit lately due to buying some fuel and selling off all my non standard aircraft.

Fleet is now as follows;
27 x A321-200
2 x A380-800

Planning to bring my fleet up to 40 or 50 x A321-200, and then just buy A380-800 from then on in, so my shares should start increasing steadily as I implement this investment program

Share price currently 11.14 if anyone is interested in being part of this investment program!

Thanks to those who gave some great tips and advice so far!

Frayah Express Airlines has to begin a fleet rationalisation project due to the Airline having more that 400 aircraft in the fleet.

We are to concentrate on all new Airliners, A350, A389, B787 and the A320/321 series (I know not to new are they)

Hopefully by time the fleet rationalisation has complete, AM will allow more than 400 routes, as it will be a little boring flying 400 A380's

The stock is currently trading @ 186.09

We currently have bases, Dublin, London City (to close), Cork, Shannon, Galway(to close), Sligo(to close), Aldergrove (to close), Farrenfore (to close), Frankfurt, Milan, Porto, Doha, Tokyo (to close), San Diego, Philadelphia, Ontario, Buenos Aires, Brasilia, Kuala Lumpar, Christchurch, Cape Town, Mexico City & Tel Aviv (We were to add Hamilton & Donegal, this has been put on hold until the route situation improves)
