Hi,
I have some of bases at the coasts. Using the standard options in most cases only "domestic" flights are generated, no overseas flights.
Worst: Bases at LFVP and BIKF; fleet 737, 747, C130, Airbus 321. No Jobs generated between those bases. Thats the main "road" between Europe and US.
Tons of additional bases in Europe and US. Same problems with a number of bases at other coasts.
Most of the Jobs are created to go into the landscape.
Why are the priorities set that way?
Can I change any Option. (Base to base Job creation parm is not the solution)
Kindly
Christian

Base to Base is the only way to influence it if you want specific jobs between two different continents which are geographically distant.

Jobs in AirHauler are generated pseudo randomly based on the number of available destination airports within a range which AH is interested in.

So, if you have a base on the East coast of America, when AH is looking for airports to generate jobs to, it's going to find loads to the west, but hardly anything to the east for many thousands of miles.

Hence, as they're more numerous to the West, it's substantially more likely that one of those bases will be chosen.

You can influence it by having a long range aircraft (say a 747) and putting the airport size and job distance up to the max, but that's about it.

Just because it's the main "road" between Europe and the US doesn't mean AH knows that - it's not real remember!  (further more, it'd be very irritating if you had a c172 and were offered jobs between JFK and Schipol repeatedly).
