Title: The Jet Age #4 - April 8th
Post by: Sami on March 22, 2011, 01:14:19 PM
The next full game world, themed "Jet Age", will begin in approximately two weeks. The estimated start date is on April 8th (Friday), at approximately 12.00 UTC.

What a good news, although i'll skip this game world (never been a fans of the piston era! ;D)

Btw Sami, is there any info about another world that begins in the early 1990?? Something like (CMIIW) Air Travel Boom??

Can't it start somewhat later? My mathematics teacher will get angry with me if I play AWS on my iPhone during class. :( ;D

The first day is 24hrs (with used market recycling every few hours) so as usual there is absolutely no need to be online at the exact hour.

And the game begins in 1960 so it will be jets mostly instead of props. (first years will be prop based though..)

^  ;D Was going to skip this one as I really did not enjoy spending all my time after the first year and a half rescheduling everything to jets, but with a later start, I may give it a go again!

I liked the 1959 start for JA #7 (yes 7! 6 public one beta!!)

Could you venture a 1956 start? :)

I've decided Im going to a popular airport this time around... should be fun  :)

Sami hasn't modeled crashes enough to include the Comet.

It was fine by the time to get to Mk IV!!! 

Although I have met a test pilot of the plane who said it was being flight tested with paying customers on board.

Was it two or more crashes in the first year of operations!? Just imagine if that happened today  :laugh:

I pretty much like the Jet Age game. Most frustrating for it, is to reschedule all turbodrops for jet age machines... Slots.... those slots...

Love these scenarios!!! Um, sami I heard (or saw, shall I say) you don't like the Constellation and its one prop I'd like to see included (my dad worked for Lockheed from the Connies to the end of the L1011's) and would like to see the Dehavilland Comet offered as well! What fun it would add to the game if those two were made available. Since the game begins in 1960 probably Comet 4 or something, eh? Anyway, how about it this time around? Just a request. I'll enjoy it anyway. Just hope you might give these planes some serious consideration this time around. :)
