[slannoy]

Well, we had great fun to play Jet age game but we are now gameless.

Now, what can we expect as future game ?

1946-2020

Would be great to go through all the political changes with countries etc...

Some interesting events would be USA - Cuba routes (demand would go to 0 after Castro takes power).
Vietnam - with demand being near 0 from most places for a long period of time due to the war.
China- almost 0 international demand until liberalization after Mao.
Independence for European Colonies-  This would be great if for example somebody based in Paris can set up a base in Algiers (of course until Algeria becomes independent) .

Plenty of other world events.

great idea... I'll join maybe this game with 20min/day, so it won't take 3yrs of real life...
But basically a nice Idea... what you think sami? I hope you don't have anything against it

a long game would be perfect. 1946 to 2010 please. up to 2020 takes out the realism as we dont know the models or variants that would be introduced, countries that would divide, new airports that would be built in the following 10 years.

[Sami]

You missed the fact that short events like wars etc.are not modeled at all yet... :p

[yevgeniy]

True, but what about long wars?

Vietnam was an almost 20 year war, same thing with Afghanistan.

It seems the Gulf war and embargo and are partially modeled?
So I guess the question, is this something that easily modeled, (basically demand in Afghanistan and Vietnam is 0 for the whole period of the war).?

Also, yep 2010 makes sense.

i like 1946 to 2010. I like the idea of having to change your fleet from a prop to a jet airline. I dont think a dc3 would work to well in 2010

[GDK]

No doubt 1946 to 2010 is a great idea. It will record the entire history of civil aviation....

But, it will be issue of inflation affecting players starting late (if the startup cash is fixed). If the game start at 1946 with $2m, we can run a good airline there. But if another player is going to join the game 50% after it started, then the starting cash of $2m will not enough for him due to the inflation and evolution of the world economy.

Also there might be a problem late comers hardly break the dominations early birds who started their game when the game world open. These earlier player will have been operating an ultra fleet of maybe thousand aircrafts while the late comer is starting up. Even tough each of us can operate only 3 bases, but we will not know what the consequences are...

Startup cash is inflation adjusted.

Anyway, 46-00 is too long world for now.

[yevgeniy]

Which 19xx-2010 would not be too long?

[GDK]

Too long for the game system or too long in real life?
You can make it 20minutes/game day to shorten it.
