Title: Modern Times #6 starts this Friday
Post by: Sami on November 30, 2011, 03:50:33 PM
Our most popular game world The Modern Times is again soon coming to an end and the next scenario of the same era will begin soon.

The estimated start time is on this Friday, December 2nd, at approximately 21.00 UTC.

Please remember that the first game day is 24hrs in duration and you can easily join in later during the first days if you are on online during the moment it is launched.

And while we are at it, the Concorde II with Rolls Royce/Snecma Olympus 1000NGX's which allow the bird to fly 9270nm with 148 pax at Mach 2.4 while burning just 6200kgs/hour of fuel!!  :laugh:

In the spirit of rediculous requests can we please keep the DC3 line open for this game while we are at it.

I personally would prefer plenty of used 737 classics (like last MT) and NG line open only. MD-90 would be interesting means more choice dunno if it's realistic though.

May the world start from 1995? :)

Can't control which lines are open, closed or about to close. Random based on real respective dates.

Can MT6 be a full 20 year game ending at the end of 2020, just like old ATB games did?

A solution; 1995-2020 with higher game speed. This would keep productions lines open (?)

Even 1998/9 to 2019 would be good. A 21 year game like DOTM2 with the game still ending near 2020, but early enough to keep older production lines open. It would be great to have MD-80/90 and 737-3/4/5 lines open to start, so in theory a game running Jan 1 1999 to December 31 2019 would give a longer world and access to additional fleet types at the start so 600+ people dont go scrambling for 737-800's and A320-200's!

I'm all game for a 1990s start like ATB used to... halfway between DOTM and MT. Why not just make it a 30 year going onto 2020? Then everybody's happy.

Good to hear that MT is back again.

But please make sure that the mistake from last time does not happen in this round. So please make sure that Saab2000, Fokker 100 and the like are still available to order when the game starts.

Simply use 'Dashboard -> Change game' to switch between game worlds.

Changes my plan a bit, too, but will make it work. If nothing else, we have more time until the inevitable fuel spike!

Hi all,

As holidays are almost here, would a short (2-weeks?) duration game be possible, with faster days turnarounds?
I would have been happy to start a new game now but all are already well advanced, which is not as enjoyable as starting a new one with other fellows!

Cheers
Bod
