I’m playing with passenger rate set to 100%. I’m well aware that doesn’t make every flight full nor should it do.
But while medium flight have between 90-180 passengers, and it works well and feels realistic, the big ones often have around the same, and that does not look good.
Is the big planes put on the same setting as the medium ones?
I would argue that the big ones, the standard would be between 250-400 depending on the aircraft ofc. But to have a 777 with only 167 passengers is just sad imho. Sure it can happen sometime, or during the pandemic event. But not every day.
Even despite the pax ratio setting the number of passengers arriving on aircraft is reduced compared to reality, this is in line with reducing the overall load on computers running the simulation.
I can slightly bring the minimum passenger ratio up which should increase the chance of having more passengers per flight. However, it will still be at random between 50 and 100% of the passenger ratio.
