Conor:

Your first advanced tutorial will walk you through the steps of configuring your aircraft(s) with;
*In Flight Entertainment systems (IFE's)
*Cabin Layouts
*In Flight Service (IFS)
==In Flight Entertainment systems (IFE's)==
In flight entertainment systems are very important in order to keep your easily irritable passengers happy.
==Configuring Cabin Layouts==
Cabin layouts are very important if you want to reach out to more than just economy passengers. With this tool you can select how many first class, business class and economy class seats to put into your aircraft.
*Click the configure cabin layout button [[File:‎09_Configure_Cabin_Layout.png‎]]
==In Flight Services==
In this section you can decide the quality of the meals you wish to serve on your flights. Provided you want to serve any at all. Each of the main meals can have up to 3 different types, each with over five quality ratings to choose from. worst to best, with best being the lowest cost and the best costing the most. You also have the choice of selecting up to 6 snack options as well with the same quality ratings.

Once you proceed to the next step you can select different types of on-board comforts like pillow and toys for children. You can set the price for each item. If you choose to make these things cost the passenger then they will take the item home. However if you give them free to the passenger some items will be taken back off of the passenger at the end of the flight (pillows, blankets and children's entertainment packs).

You must make sure to activate each accessory by clicking the check box before the item.

Setting up routes

2011-03-27T17:39:15Z

Conor:

Setting up a route network is the primary aim of Airline Empires. In this tutorial you will be shown exactly how do that.

===Adding Flights===
[[file:New_route.png|thumb|New route page]]
*Once you are on the route details page you will see a lot of information on the page. For now you do not need to worry about that this will be explained later. What you need to first is click the add flights button as shown:
[[file:New_route_button.png]]
*Now you are taken to a screen were you will select the aircraft and frequency as well as the ticket price. Again do not worry about the rest of the information on the page, this will be dealt with later.#
*I am going to choose the BAE 146, and i want to fly this route with a frequency of 14 flights weekly (2 a day).
[[file:Set_freq.png]]
*Now you have to set the price of your flight and click continue.
[[file:Set_price.png]]
*You have now set up your first route!
*You will find yourself back at the main route details page. Here you will see if your route is making you money.
*Loadfactor is how full your plane is. Profit is how much money you are making on that route (excluding gate costs)

Conor:

Setting up a route network is the primary aim of Airline Empires. In this tutorial you will be shown exactly how do that.

===Adding Flights===
[[file:New_route.png|thumb|New route page]]
*Once you are on the route details page you will see a lot of information on the page. For now you do not need to worry about that this will be explained later. What you need to first is click the add flights button as shown:
[[file:New_route_button.png]]
*Now you are taken to a screen were you will select the aircraft and frequency as well as the ticket price. Again do not worry about the rest of the information on the page, this will be dealt with later.#
*I am going to choose the BAE 146, and i want to fly this route with a frequency of 14 flights weekly (2 a day).
[[file:Set_freq.png]]
*Now you have to set the price of your flight and click continue.
[[file:Set_price.png]]
*You have now set up your first route!
*You will find yourself back at the main route details page. Here you will see if your route is making you money.
*Loadfactor is how full your plane is. Profit is how much money you are making on that route (excluding gate costs)

Acquiring aircraft

2011-03-13T17:45:11Z

Conor:

Aircraft are the most important thing in Airline Empires, without them you would be nothing!! in this part of the tutorial i will show you how to get your first aircraft.

==Acquiring New Aircraft==

Getting new aircraft is not only much more beneficial financially in the long run it is also the best way to expand. There are two ways of acquiring aircraft in Airline Empires and they are; buying and leasing. Firstly click [[file:07_Order_New_Aircraft.png]], this will get you started.

'''Buying Aircraft'''
<br />
Buying aircraft is the most expensive method of getting aircraft but it is also the best way to keep your profit rating up and if you do not think you can afford monthly leasing payments this is the best option.

*Find the aircraft you would like to purchase and click the [[file:purchase.png]] icon. For the purpose of this tutorial i will be using the A320.
*The next screen is the engine selection screen. This screen is very important to your decision as it may be the deciding factor if your aircraft has the range to get to an airport or whether or not it can takeoff or land on the runway, so choose wisely!<br/>
[[file:selectengine.png|thumb|Selecting engines]]
[[file:Customiseaircraftorder.png|thumb|Customise aircraft order]]
*Once you have decided what engine you choose you will be taken to the next screen which is customising your aircraft order b:
**Entering the number of aircraft you would like to order.
**Picking the seat configuration the aircraft should arrive with.
**When the first aircraft should arrive.
**If you would like addons i.e winglets
<font color=red>'''Remember: When you purchase an aircraft you pay 50% of the price immediately and the other 50% when you receive it. If you cannot afford the latter when the aircraft is due for delivery it will be postponed!'''</font>
*The next page is the finalize order page. Here you will be shown an overview of your order including the dates of all the deliveries (you can check this again later by pressing [[file:11_View_Pending_Deliveries.png]] )
*Clicking confirm will take you the manufactures order books showing the orders from every other airline in a certain manufacturer.
<br />
'''Leasing Aircraft'''
<br />
Leasing aircraft is the quick and cheap way of acquiring aircraft quickly, it does have a negative effect as you must pay monthly lease payments, if you miss these payments your aircraft can be seized (after three warnings). It also has a negative impact on your credit rating and your ranking. If all your aircraft are leased your ranking is based on how much money you have i.e you lease an aircraft your valuation will go down by the money you spent. If you purchase aircraft however your valuation will be based on how much cash you have and fixed assets (value of all your aircraft).
*To lease an aircraft click [[file:lease.png]].
*Choose your preferred engine(s)
*Negotiate how many aircraft you would like and how long you wish to lease them for. Choose seat configuration and addons.
<br />
==Acquiring Used Aircraft==

You can get used aircraft almost the same way as new aircraft other than the fact that the aircraft on the market may not be the aircraft you want. You should be very careful purchasing older planes as they require much more fuel and the maintenance.

'''Leasing Aircraft'''
<br />
Leasing aircraft is the quick and cheap way of acquiring aircraft quickly, it does have a negative effect as you must pay monthly lease payments, if you miss these payments your aircraft can be seized (after three warnings). It also has a negative impact on your credit rating and your ranking. If all your aircraft are leased your ranking is based on how much money you have i.e you lease an aircraft your valuation will go down by the money you spent. If you purchase aircraft however your valuation will be based on how much cash you have and fixed assets (value of all your aircraft).
*To lease an aircraft click [[file:lease.png]].
*Choose your preferred engine(s)
*Negotiate how many aircraft you would like and how long you wish to lease them for. Choose seat configuration and addons.

'''Buying Aircraft'''
<br />
Buying aircraft is the most expensive method of getting aircraft but it is also the best way to keep your profit rating up and if you do not think you can afford monthly leasing payments this is the best option.

*Find the aircraft you would like to purchase and click the [[file:purchase.png]] icon. For the purpose of this tutorial i will be using the A320.
*The next screen is the engine selection screen. This screen is very important to your decision as it may be the deciding factor if your aircraft has the range to get to an airport or whether or not it can takeoff or land on the runway, so choose wisely!<br/>
