Perfect Ops Bonus

[japerson34]

Is there a point in this game where obtaining the Perfect Ops Bonus just isn't going to happen? Early in the game, I have like 8 small gates with each having 9 flights scheduled all for 2 hours back to back and I get the bonus with no problem. As my airport grows and I start adding large gates scheduling those with 6 flights each, 3 hours each back to back. Now I get random flights, mainly at the small gates, leaving late due to waiting on lost PAX that never show up. Transit demand never exceeds capacity. No traffic backups. Everything running smoothly just as it was before. It isn't the large flights having the problem. Yet that is all that is new. I am at the point where I am just going to accept this bonus can no longer be obtained due to the size of my airport.

the more you build the harder it is to get the perfect ops bonus. That being said big airport can still get the perfect ops bonus with the correct design and planning. The trick is to get the pax thru ticketing, security and to the gate as quick as possible. build multiple services close to the gates

At some point the game has some built in stops that will cause you some issues like transportation maxing out and pax can not get to the airport on time. since the game has a mod to expand the land as much as possible the maxing of the transportation is a safe guard to stop the game from slowing down to a crawl

Yeah, my ticket and security areas are a bit far from some of the gates. And here I was thinking I was in the process of building the perfect airport. Might have to build an experimental airport now. Thanks for the reply.

Keep an eye on passengers who miss their flight. Some of them try to go to the bathroom before going thru security and end up missing their flight, especially if the outside bathrooms are crowded or security is backed up. That's usually how I sometimes miss the perfect ops bonus.

Thanks. That is the odd thing, had no backups anywhere as I was building very slowly keeping an eye on things. I did have some of my gates a good ways away from the security area. Just odd that it all was working and then it wasn't. All I was doing was adding large gates and expanding ticketing, security, restrooms and such as needed.

Every airport I have built does the same thing. It all works, then suddenly without any major changes, it doesn't as if there was a built in fail system. Once the player reaches this many PAX, PAX will just start not even showing up to the airport which causes the planes to sit and wait (for no one) and leave late.

I am starting (yet again) a new airport trying to keep ticketing, security and gates pretty close to one another. If the food and restrooms slow my PAX down, what will happen if I just don't give them these luxuries? I am about to find out...

sounds like maybe you are building and not expanding transportation. You also could be hitting the transportation limit if you build too big. just a thought to check out

you can build
3 LRT
3 pickups
3 dropoffs
add parking

change frequency for buses and LRT.

Also make sure your roads are not jamming up with traffic. build roads off of the main road for pickups and dropoffs

So there is a limit. Even if I haven't reached this limit, there is one. So since I am making a profit and a good one at that, no need to strive for this bonus which will be unattainable in the near future anyway due to built in limitations.

This is good to know so I can go back and concentrate on building, expanding, and controlling what I am am able to control.

This is Toby. Toby arrived at my newest airport that is being built as simple as possible to prevent passengers from getting lost. Toby stood outside the entire time after being dropped of by a bus. He missed his 10am flight which left late because it was waiting on him. Now Toby wanders aimlessly around the outside of the airport. I am thinking of making Toby the Airport Mascot or something. The one senseless passenger who prevents you from obtaining the Perfect Ops Bonus. Thank you Toby for proving to me the effort isn't worth it. Like they say, "You can't fix stupid."

looks like Toby got stuck on the sidewalk. Toby will not cross any construction or walk on the street. I would suggest instead of running that fence to the road make sure the sidewalk toby is on is all connect to the other sidewalk. Maybe at some point just run that fence to the building and bend the sidewalk around the corner. (maybe, just maybe Toby is listing to his parents and not walking on the road) Just a thought :)

Toby is not stuck. Toby walks down middle of roads, sidewalks, and grass. Toby's flight was 2 days ago now and yet he still wandering around. Toby is officially bugged but will disappear the next time I save and reload the game. I was just having some fun and poking some fun at the current game status.
