IS THE NEXT GAME SOON

[aktyn87]

I have an idea for new game.

I think there should be created one endless game, so there will be no need to star airlines again and again.
Of course, that might mean loos of money, but the game can be paid monthly, for example 8 credits for 1 real month of play. 10 would be too much, specially, that u would have to buy more and more credits to play this game, so 8 would be like extra price for playing that kind of game.
And time in the endless game should be changed so it would be passing slower than in the temporary games. Or it could be like a time goes from 2005 to 2015 and at 31.12.2015 goes to 1.1.2005 again instead of going to unrealistic future.

Can we start the new games in september, when everybody is back from the hlidays?

Also, I propose 3 game periods:

1) The same thing as jetage
2) The same thing as air travel boom
3) The original 1992 - 2005

What do you think?

We can start a new game in Aug

Actually, I think it's going to be the 1st to 3rd weeks of July. I really want it to start as soon as possible, but then I'm on holiday for 10~ days in August (won't tell you the dates or else you'll destory my airline ).

Matter of opinion, of course, but starting the airlines again and again is the fun part. When you airline is established it gets really boring.

what is the latest on the next games ??

[Sami]

Just back from m'holidays.. Nothing to report.

[JIMBORICHARDSON]

ok cool keep us posted

[Williamsfilms]

Yes.... and smaller games as well...... like only 150 players would be nice.

[aktyn87]

What about options to expand airports. I mean like if there is about 20 connection to one of the airport, city is expanding so demand of travellers is expanding and new destination should be available, and also number of passengers should rise. ] but it's just my thinking.

Hope u had good holiday Sami.

SOOOO Bored right now.  Need game to play.

Hi There,

Sorry haven't read the entire thread, just wondered where you vacationed?  And if it involved any flying and if so routes and airlines?

Looking forward to a short cruise in the Eastern Mediterranean in mid August, flying San Diego - Chicago - Frankfurt - Athens cruising with Seven Seas Navigator, returning Istanbul - Frankfurt - Chicago - San Diego.

Any chance of seeing 3 leg flights in the next version?

Kindest regards, and sincere thanks for all your efforts in running a tremendous game,

Graham

[swiftus27]

Oh god please no 3 leg flights.

How would he program it?

Sami would have to allow the game to do this then:

A - B - A
A - B - C - A
A - B - C - B - A
A - B - C - D - A
A - B - C - D - B - A
A - B - C - D - C - A
A - B - C - D - C - B - A

Way too many flights.  The server load would be insane.

I dought that flight was operated by the same airline though. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It would be interesting if it did, though.

Hey Sami,

please give us a new scenario to start! I am getting so desperate that I start playing ATB just now! Give us a difficult one with low initial equity and then to work on. If I cannot get to do this fast, I will suffer from physical and mental injuries... I really wanna fly those Bombardier and Embraer Jets! Give us something like 1985-2005 or so! Please!

a 20 year game is too long.  I vote for 10 year games

lol that is so good specially " I will suffer from physical and mental injuries" hahaha

but long scenario is better with expanding of the airports... by the way, airport like Heathrow should expand ages ago !!!

10 years go by pretty quick; what with 7-year aircraft leasing and waiting on new planes to be certified and even arrive. 20 years is a good span, something along the lines of 1952-1972,  and then others starting in ten year increments.......

But a game from 1982 through 2012 would be even better

Well 1982-2012 is thirty years. These games that we are playing are 17 years and they are talking almost 4 months to play.  A 30 year game would last well over 6 months.
