Could be good to have a chance to pay for new airplanes by choice : 40% and upper , and to have chance to pay for it rest of money during waiting for delivery... Thank You. Alex

Sorry, this is not a feature request thread.

- Oceanic Challenge (10 years, Oceania only, 2000-2010, not very large aircraft, 100 players(?))
- Africa Challenge (10 years, Africa only, 1970-1980, 100 players(?))

I vote for rolling out 3 longish game worlds:
1950 to 1980
1965 to 1995
1990 to 2020

Whole world with max 300 players... Or maybe with more players but with the "suggestion" of having max two airlines on every airport! :)
And maybe the lasting of the world going from the early 80s (say 1985) to 2015...

Of course 1950-1967. That would be 3-4 months.

Small game...

I wish that you could do a Latin America / Caribbean.  No planes bigger than a 737.

I don't know why, but I think we all know how the new world will be.  ::)

From Bush to Bush

Jan. 20, 1989 - Jan. 20, 2009

Not really anything to do with politics... just thought it was a good excuse to run a game through a very interesting slice of world history. Fall of the Berlin Wall and Soviet Union, three American recessions, highly unstable oil prices, two major wars in the middle east, and of course the post-911 era and it's effects on the airline industry.

He said it best, I cant think of a better possible timeframe for a game world........

Something Hard.

The Jet Age games were somewhat difficult.  The North America game was quite difficult, but only for a brief period when the fuel prices skyrocketed because it was so soon after the beginning of the game.  Then it killed everyone off and the game got uber-boring and easy because there was no competition.

But all we've got going now are Easy and a couple Easy/Medium games, save Euro Challenge which is considered Medium/Hard, but it suffers from the same problem that NA Challenge had, in that there's so few remaining players that the game is anything but Hard.  So there's really nothing that's even Medium, let alone Hard, or "Very Hard" as NA Challenge was ranked (and was for a brief period).

So if you're gonna start up 2 games, I'd definitely recommend there be something on the Hard or Very Hard for one of the games at least, but not so geographically-limited that it turns players off from wanting to play.

* Africa challenge. Large distances and small pax demand. Limited to 50 people?

* Early, early times. A short game where days equal weeks and you start in 1935 or something. Run it to 1960.

I'd like a scenario like this in a particular region.  Maybe be even limiting aircraft to less than 100 seats - the profit margins are much tighter with small aircraft and so I think it would be harder for players to dominate.

That would be too long.. 7.5 months.
