think of the technology changes that were in store for this era?
The advent of the Jet?
We would soon see the DC8 and the 707!!!!
STARTING IN THIS ERA WOULD BE GREAT!
Would you spend money early to ensure you had planes? Or would you wait a bit and hold onto that money until the jets start to come out and pounce on the explosion of PAX demand!?!?!?
This time could yield the most fun and would still be excellent as a 15 year game. 1954 to 1970 ... wow.

But I must say, pax demand is very low. I'm currently flying from Brussels and have to note that a lot of destinations, even to larger cities, only have a 10-15 pax demand. Don't know how realistic that is.
I think it is very realistic - however it should be possibel to have only a few flights a week toa each city and collect PAX from previous days... Not every route have connection every day - not then and not now.

I agree with lastchancer on the extra legs. Flying long-haul in the fifties required quite some stops, it would be nice if we had the option to include some extra tech-stops
3-4 stops - and not only tech-stops. At that time most routes has stops with unload/load. Many airplanes did also have mail that should be delivered.

LOVE this game (test).. you have to really think about your base, your routes.. and best of all: NO JETS and NO WIDEBODIES... so everyone has to work harder equally and other planes get used, not just MD, Boeing, Airbus.. love it, love it, love it.

Indeed, it's a lovely scenario. Quite well configured, in my opinion. A fresh change comparing with those massive "modern" scenarios where everybody ends in nonsense huge discount wars.
The only thing I'm missing is an airport in Azores, often used at that time to refuel Europe/North America flights.

Yea the problem actually with the class 4-5 airport restriction is just this ... the small techstop airports are prettymuch excluded. Didn't think of that...
