Russian built aircraft vs. sim rules

[Dasha]

To my knowledge, Ilyushin was Russian, even in the Soviet era. Therefore that plane is as Russian as anything, but enough about that.

If Aeroflot really wanted to get rid of the Il-96, which I agree is absolutely pointless on the routes they fly it too, why don't they just sell it? They got a brand spanking new A330.

Secondly, Aeroflot Nord and Aeroflot Don fly almost exclusively with Russian planes, being funded by Aeroflot. I do agree with you that they act in a normal way every other airline would behave in the current market. (And in my opinion they are doing a great job)
But I also believe (and know) that the government is involved in the airline, maybe not financially but certainly politically.

Mmm... When I was studied in 1987, nobody named Il-96 "russian". All people named its "soviet"...

But I also believe (and know) that the government is involved in the airline, maybe not financially but certainly politically.

Yes. The government always prevents to work in the successful image.
As to Il-96 many times tried to sell (in Kuba or in other countries).
As you didn't know about it?

To get back to the original point of this thread I believe that if we start trying to recreate history in this simulation we will have to model more than just the access to Russian built aircraft.  What about embargoed destinations - no US based airline would be able to fly to Cuban, Iranian or North Korean airports, and Western access to regional Chinese airports in the seventies anyway would be non-existent.  Only State National or Regional carriers would be available in many countries - no private airline operators.  Many developing nations would receive massive prior colonial power financial aid to purchase or lease aircraft for their nascent airlines and finally there might have to be the occasional air accident, hijacking etc with the virtual loss of life and and the actual loss of aircraft and Company image!

Frankly when all is said and done this is a game, albeit a very good one, and it is a business simulation built on real world data - it does not have to follow history - if we want that kind of bad new in our message box we can simply point our browsers at the real news.

Kindest regards,

The civil aviation was always dependent from political.  I'm convinced: if influence of political factors will transfered in the game, in this case the game becomes even more interesting and popular. Otherwise, game becomes uninteresting. For me personally, it's not interesting to play more than three times. Game development is necessary.
Besides, it's not need to pay attention to any small events in the world.
Disintegration geopolitical systems USSR/USA became the main word levent world in XX century. And if this event is not reflected, the game will learn to nothing.)

We don't agree on much but on this I agree with Uran.... Change is good... YES WE CAN!!

Sami, is there any development on this? Will we see this feature with the launch of the new version of AWS?
Thank!
