If you're a user who grew up flying the Airbus A330 and Boeing 737 MAX, you might wonder the name of the first passenger airplane. Well, wonder no more - this link tells us that the first passenger airplane, the Model 14 Benoist Airboat, was invented in 1914:
https://www.reference.com/vehicles/first-passenger-plane-invented-f9f6f10dff2a6de2That's why I have an idea: to create a game world that starts the day the Model 14 Benoist Airboat was invented in 1914, to 2014, a year where Airbus, Boeing, ATR, etc. make up a network of different airplane manufacturers. In the beginning, you can have only Easy Start for basing your airline in either Saint Petersburg, Hamburg, College Park, or Tampa, but eventually, by the 1950s, you might be able to do Advanced Start. With Easy Start, when your airline starts in this game world, you receive 427 Model 14 Benoist Airboats, in which 854 seats is approximately the maximum seating size of an A380.
At the beginning of my idea for a game world, which runs for a century, from 1914 to 2014, you can only fly to either Saint Petersburg, Tampa,
College Park, Hamburg, Bucharest 'Aurel Vlaicu', Bremen, or Kitty Hawk, but more airport choices will be available over time.
Here are more things that could be part of my idea for a game world titled The 100-Year Challenge:- Each game day lasts 23 minutes
- Only 2 high-density economy seats as the default configuration for the Model 14 Benoist Airboat
- Manufacturer of M14 Benoist Airboat listed as Thomas Benoist
- Order of advertising method appearance: Newspapers (start of 100-Year Challenge), Billboards (1915), Radio (1922), Television (1936), and Internet (1995)
- Fuel prices start at $70 but gradually increase twice until 1988, when fuel prices start to increase and decrease at normal levels, with high prices worldwide during the Great Depression (1929-39) and Great Recession (late 2000s-early 2010s)
- In-game events to match with real-world events (death of Vasily Afonin on January 4, 1996, which affects Russia and other Soviet countries, birth of Prince George of Cambridge on July 22, 2013, which affects the United Kingdom, the coronation of Elizabeth II on February 6, 1952, which also affects the UK, the launch of MTV in August 1, 1981, which affects the United States, etc.)
