define failure. people play the game for different reasons. Sure some want 3000 aircraft airlines our of LAX, ORD,JFK etc but everybody likes something a little different. I know people who go ga-ga at the thought of using small planes, but I detest them! So define what you want to achieve, and we can suggest some good starting points. One key thing is, if somebody is a new player, don't start in LHR or JFK or RJTT which are likely to have an 2 or 3 experienced players in them who will crush the baby player, even if inadvertently. Better to start someplace else, out of the way, then move to the bigger airport after a BK.

Off-topic forum / Domestic flights map
Last post by Sergio - Yesterday at 02:05:34 PM
Dear Sirs,

This map states, that they show domestic flights only. in Estonia zero according to this map, which is not true, there are flghts to isles.

Is my understanding correct: these are the only countries wrth starting: USA, Brazil, Western EU, Turkey, Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Malasia, Australia, Japan. (On the other hand, somehow I doubt, that staring in Russia, Iran, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia would bring my Airwaysim company to top 10.)

Starting in low domestic flights countries (sorry for my apostrophies) will be a failures.

[UPDATE]

- After a knee injury I spend 2 years at the Digital Operations dept. where I was building a blueprinnt of the Dutch rail network correct to the meter and with ALL signals and possibilities added. We also made a version for 2033 and then imported some future timetable concepts to see what would happen and if it would all fit on the network. We learned a lot and made some adjustments to either some trains or station layouts to smooth things out.  These ideas will largely be taken over for a final design and help getting another 200 daily trains on an already saturated network.

Today I work at the train planning department.

You cannot do major changes or upgrades to planes you do not own (obviously). So yes, you must buy it.

Well, I got 737-800 in leasing but I don't see any upgrade option to convert it into cargo version. Should I buy this plane instead of leasing it?

yep. And as you suggest, a used one words just as well. Since the conversion includes a D check, a lot of people find pax planes they are using and convert them just before the D check.

General forum / Boeing 737 cargo only
Last post by vokdalg - February 14, 2026, 03:31:49 PM
Hi everybody!

I need a cargo only version of 737. As far as I understand a conversion a passenger version of 737-800 to cargo version is the only option. I just want to be sure that I understand it right. So I order new 737-800 from Boeing and as soon as I get it I upgrade 737-800 passenger version to a cargo version, right?
The same way it works with the used plane I suppose.
