Discussion: Routes!

World map and Hub-system

The world map is a really important point in Airline Tycoon 2. On this map you can plan the routes for your airplanes, take over orders and so on.
The map is splitted into countries and regions. A country can have any amount of regions. Regions have towns (the towns are airports). Towns can be regional or international. Per region there can be arbitrarily many regional towns, but only one international town. Now you can let your airplanes fly routes between towns, but airplanes can´t fly arbitrarily. Only the international airport can be reached by airplanes from regional towns in the region. From international airports you can only reach regional airports in the region or international airports in other regions. As countries are planned currently: North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. This system is called "Hub-system" and is taken from the reality.

Routes and orders

In Airline Tycoon 2 airplanes are always divided for routes. For example, an airplane should fly the distance Munich-Frankfurt. For this flight passengers will be found accordingly or also not. If many passengers fly with your airline you will earn money. In addition, there are orders which the player can accept. An order could be to bring 100 passengers from Munich to New York. According to the world map and the routes plan the player must bring the passengers first from Munich to Frankfurt. Now Frankfurt and New York are two international airports which means that your airplanes can fly a direct route. Now the way of the order is Munich- Frankfurt – New York. According to the network of air routes, this route could be still extended for example if the player doesn´t allow airplanes to fly from Frankfurt to New York, but from Frankfurt to London and from London to New York. This management you have to organize yourself. With this additional orders you also can earn money, but they are connected with micromanagement and that can affect the image negatively. International routes are more lucrative than regional ones. Nevertheless, he depends on regional flights to make the international routes lucratively. For example, if the player has a route from Munich to Frankfurt and from Berlin to Frankfurt, more international airline passengers are ready in Frankfurt (just those from Munich and Berlin). Therefore, the player cannot renounce regional lines.
