357 = 3 × 7 × 17, sphenic number. Also refers to firearms or ammunition of .357 caliber, with the best-known cartridge of that size being the .357 Magnum. The .357 SIG, whose name was inspired by the performance of the .357 Magnum, is actually a 9 mm or .355 caliber.

OOOOOOOLLLLLLDDDD :o Was that before the bridge?
-
1409
I believe so. They were first delivered in the 70's; and they weren't used in passenger service after the IC3 - around 1990-92.
-
1410
So they were only used on the IC-ferries then :-* :-*
-
1411
Yes. But the IC3 was used on (and designed for) the IC-ferries.
-
1412
The lovely IC3 is still far superior to the IC4 :-* :-*
-
1413
Yes! But I look forward to the replacement of the IC4
For outsiders: IC3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC3), IC4 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC4), MZ-locomotive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSB_class_MZ)
-
1414
Sadly the IC4 is now slated to run on the regional railways, such as Odense - Svendborg, instead of the main cross country line. They will replace the Siemens Desiro's.

onefourfivethree
-
1454
Yep, Tegel was used during the airlift. Now it is a recreational area :-* :-*
-
1455
No, it's Tempelhof that is closed. Tegel is still open, carrying ~15 million passengers yearly. Tempelhof is the oval airport south of the city centre.
-
1456
Then whats the story?
-
1457
Well, I meant Tempelhof :P :-[
-
1458
Wait, now you have lost me! Tegel, Tempelhof - Tegelhof?
-
1459
Tempelhof is the closed airport.
Tegel is the open airport.
-
1459
Tempelhof is the closed airport.
Tegel is the open airport.
Not for much longer. Tegel will close as soon as Brandenburg/Schönefeldt will be done.

CD = 400, because C is 100 and D is 500. The smaller number before the bigger number is a subtraction, so CD = 500-100. Another example is IV which is four (5-1 or V-I).
L = 50
XX = two times ten
V = five

In that case,

Wikipedia is known for it's inaccuracies, VS ;)
“Lies, damned lies, and Wikipedia articles.”
Long ago Penguins and Humans fought a war for the galaxy, and after a thousand years of war with quadrillions dead, humans did the unthinkable in a last desperate act - humans denied their enemy victory. As remaining human forces fell back to earth, Humans razed all worlds with orbital bombardment. Humans won the P-Day Invasion only to fight a lost war against overwhelming odds. Only one inhabitable planet remains for humans - Earth, which the penguins now have a foothold on. We are now in a corner some say we put ourselves in by launching random missiles into space. Fail humans fail. Recent penguin activity involves attempting to fly using rocket and jetpacks, but at 6000 -feets- seem to crash into icebergs.

Well, thanks for moving me to the country with temperature above 0 dergees celsius. That's something I really need at the moment.
P.S. What is forum's time zone? GMT+/-what? I'm still confused about it. But it really was my local time back then :)
-
1867
Okay, now I'm really confused... :P Russia?
And regarding the forum's time zone, I believe you can change it in settings to your own. But I would believe that the standard is GMT.
-
1868
Oh, yes, seems like we can change it... My bad...
P.S. Correct, but this country is... erm... bigger than Liechtenstein, I hope you will agree with that :) So you can go on with guessing the region/timezone) if you wish
-
1869
Oh well :P Right now your time zone is GMT, am I right? :D
-
1870
To be more precise - somewhere in GMT+3...GMT+12 range :)
-
1871
But your profile says your local time is November 9th 2011, 16:21

Russia

Yeah, that was that I thought, but I did guess it a couple of counts ago.
-
1880
And you, matias, even guessed it right... Damn, the forum time works just fine for me, showing exactly the same time as at my home, but I'm nowhere near Dubai. About 1000-3000 USD (725-2350 EUR) away from there (that's the airline ticket price) ;)
-
1881
Oh, I didn't know :P So you're Russian!
-
1882
I thought that i've said it, but... OK, you are correct with Russia :) And I wanted to see the city/region guessed more, than the country... Hope you can understand, why. If not - i'll say 'because it's really hard not to mention it on the map'
-
1883
Well, my first guess would be Moscow :P
-
1884
Uh, I could understand that Moscow is bad for the forum-based hide and seek game) This means that you are correct.
Now we have to come up with something else...

...Yury is either a Russian name (male), or a Japanese name (female)... :lol: ...
Well, Friday evening is not the best time to know that you was suspected to be a Japanese woman... Nothing against Japan, it's just pretty... erm... weird?
-
1887
Exactly. I didn't think you was a woman, since you were an aviation freak. BTW, my first girlfriend was named Yury. And she wasn't Russian :lol: :roll:

No, because a real number is a number you can express by a fraction, e.g. 4,25 could be 17/4 (seventeen quarters).

Anyway, for about 50 more years the world can be pretty much safe with all that Siberian gas and Middle-Eastern oil... Nobody said that closing the pipelines and price da(u?)mping is prohibited, heheh.
P.S. But the door is still locked, thanks to my neighbours.
-
2081
Those years depends on how fast we develop other sources of energy (hydrogen, biofuels, sun/wind/wave energy, etc...). The faster we develop alternative means, the more unstable the Middle East will get. Sooner or later those countries will collapse (like any other country in the world)
-
2082
Well, according to oficial numbers, there is roughly 50-70 years left for gas, and as far as I know, there is something like...30? years left for oil.
And other sourses of energy... Well, as for me, the only nice thing not running on fossil fuel at the moment is an electric train. And I can hardly imagine... Boeing 777 with an electrical prop engines, heheh.
-
2082
We won't be running out of fossil based fuels (and that includes crude oil) for the next 1000 years. We will merely use up all the easily accesable oil wells. The tar sands in Canada are estimated to contain as much crude oil as the entire middle east, but bringing it up is just much too expensive. Same goes for the arctic resevoires. The development will make alternative sources of energy more popular at some point.
-
2084(3?)
Well, that will mean that after we run out of easily accepted oil wells using oil will be 'the same as to fuel stove (furnace?) with money' (mine attempt in translating a part of Mendeleev's quote)

But... how can you write in English on a Russian keyboard? Isn't the keyboard on Cyrillic?

It actually can switch between english and cyrillic, and has two sets of letters drawn on the usual keyboard) You can call it a standart one here.
-
2095
Cool! Write something in cyrillic :D

2096
I'm quite sure some day you won't need to heat your house any more, thanks to global warming ;) There goes the earnnings for the oil companies...
Not really. Global warming will raise the average temperature of the planet, killing the gulf stream, in turn making Russia and Denmark in particular VERY cold in the winter, while the summer gets so hot that we need airconditioning.
-
2096/2097
Same as UK, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, etc? Wel... Erm... That means one more step towards equality of all countries :D
-
2098
Cold winters and warm summers? Sounds like a deal to me! :D

P.S. Well, here we are again...

How cold/hot is it in your part of Russia (I can't remember where it was :P )?
-
2100 VSC/2101 MC
It sed to be +2...0 degrees Celsius before the New Year holidays... -4 currently, and -6 is expected tommorow. Sadly, 0 is expected around saturday again. Looks like December and January have forgotten thet they are Winter actually) It used to be -15...-25 in January a few years ago... And in 2005 it was -35 or -40 in the end of January/beginnig of February. The quote of the year was 'Well, Greenpeace, where is your goddamn warming?'
P.S. And I'm in Moscow, a 'small' city in Russia)
-
2101
yeah, last two winters were nice and cold. This is just a joke. We have no snow yet, last year the first snow fell in November!
-
2103/2104
Looks like we've gone wrong somewhere...
-
2104
BTW, Isn't Moscow the biggest city in Europe?
-
2106
I would say either London or Paris.
-
2106
According to wiki, Moscow is by far the largest in Europe. The population is almost twice as big as that of London :o
-
2108
That depends on how you measure it
-
2108
In morphological, proper, population and functional terms, Moscow is ahead of all other cities in Europe. One source I found says that Paris is slightly bigger, but that was in 2008. That contradicts all the up-to-date sources.
-
2109/2110
Yea, Moscow and Petersburg are pretty big cities... The other thing is that they conclude the list of very big cities in Russia. There are 10 more with population >1 000 000 people (+2 with 980 000 people), and rest are much smaller.
P.S. Well, actually a lot of other European cities are older than Moscow (and Petersburg, of course), but I don't know wether it's good or not
-
2111
We have a city over 1000 years old in Denmark, but hey, Rome is what, 2500+ years old?
-
2111/2112 (beautiful numbers are back!)
Yea, that's true... Replacing all the old pipes/roads/etc was painful, I suppose)
Some Russian cities are about 1100-1200 years old, and some monastery around modern-day Suzdal is dated 999 A.D. :) I bet there is no more such cities! ;)
-
2112
Russia and Denmark were close allies in old days ;)
-
2114
But didn't Napoleon try to invade Russia? Denmark was one of the allies of Napoleon.
-
2114/2115
I'm afraid Napoleon wasn't inviting any country into his alliance. He conquered everybody into his alliance, including 'Unholly Unroman Unempire' :lol:

True, but Russia helped Denmark repulse the Germans in 1848.

Yea, I did. Pretty nice one, but it's set on the other side of the city (and I'm not really into that genre of books) :D
P.S. BTW, have you read the Metro 2034? Written by the same person, as far as I know (my friend is pretty crazy about 'Metro' books and that PC game)
-
2145
Nope, I don't think Metro 2034 hasn't come out in Denmark yet ^-^ Metro 2033 only came out last summer. The library only has the Serbian, Russian and German editions :(
-
2146/7/whatever
Wow... That makes a 5-7 year delay (2033 was published in 2005 and became popular in 2007-2009 as far as I know). But maybe it's even a bit better - you don't have all that piles of medium and poor quality fanfics, that swept through the stores like a hurricane in 2008-2010 ;)
-
2148
That book seems interesting, what is it about?
-
2148
Matias, Metro 2033 is a postapocalyptic thriller written by Dimitry Glukovsky. After a nuclear war in about 2013, only those who took refuge in the Moscow Metro tunnels are still alive. The surface is inhospitable to humans, and only dangerous mutants live on the surface. The main character Artyom has to protect his station, VDNKh, from some mutated humans known as black ones. He travels all the way through the metro network on his quest.

Nice, thanks :D
-
2150.1512
Yea, and try to keep track on time while reading ;) And google for station's photoes, they are pretty nice ones!
-
2151.2512
And use the map that is included if you don't want to loose your orientation... :lol:
-
2512.2513
Yes, it helps a lot. But it's pretty straightforward, if you live here :lol:
p.s. now we are going to type 2 numbers for 2 systems? :)
-
2154
Nope, we still use the good, old method from the dawn of times. :P
-
Matias, you are disillusioned. You have joined the dark side of the force...

Erm... I'll think about it.

2200/2201
Here comes Yury)
-
You are all wrong, 2200!!! Chuck Norris and Hans Christian Andersen say so. And I personally know the latter >:(
-
2203
12 minutes late, vs, I'm sorry to say. I was really expecting you to blast through with that 2200 when the count reached 2201, not 2202.
-
2203/2204
VS, I'm sorry. And say Chuck and Hans that they still can catch SU3583 at 10-20

There was a worm hole. No my fault. Don't you just hate when worm holes appear out of nothing?
-
2209/3310/4411
What appeared out of nowhere? No worms here since... a lot of time, as i'm living in an apartment. And how YOU are connected to worms?!!! World conquest? Enslaving humanity?
-

Nope, no world conquest here. I was just falling through space-time when a worm-hole appeared right in my path.

Why not just say 2252?

Matias, last time you could round 2.6whatever to 3 which will give you 2253 :) And sometimes all that study just don't get out of your head.
P.S. And I really wanted to know how many people will visit wiki after some of these numbers ;)
-
2269
Wiki? Numbers? :-\

VS, that's the reason for this count) As we hit 2000 we can start counting from 8000 to 10000 again or use sqare roots :D
P.S. Finally we came to the same count!

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has touched me with his noodly appendage, and tells me that my way is correct. Mathias is merely testing my faith to the Flying Spaghetti Monster and has been put in place by the creator himself. Or maybe the FSM was drunk. Who knows, we have flimsy moral standards afterall.

50 squared-12-X=2449
What does X equal?
-
It's been a while... 2450
X should be 39, but I haven't checked.
-
2451 is divisible by 3 but not by 6.
2451 divided by 6=817.
X does equal 39
-
2452
I think you mean divided by 3, because if you divide by 6 you get 408,5.

We had this discussion before, and we agreed on counting as reply # +1. Therefore:
2498
-
2498
and we agreed
No, actually we didn't :lol: ;)
-
Yes, because your argument was "But we have always counted like this, therefore it must be right!" ;)
2500!
-
Yes, because your argument was "But we have always counted like this, therefore it must be right!" ;)
2500!
Then what is the good answser...2500, 2501 or 2052 ???
-
2501
Yes, because your argument was "But we have always counted like this, therefore it must be right!" ;)
It is just as valid an argument as yours ;)
-
2502
-
2503
-
It is just as valid an argument as yours ;)
No, because if we are going to count right, we have to include the number 1. And the number 1 is counted in reply #0 - aka. the original post. ba4 distracted us, so reply #33 didn't call out a number, thus changing the count.
Thus: 2505
-
Then... 2506 or 2507 :roll:
An answer ( or a clear explanation ) will be appreciate !!!
-
2507
We began counting with 1, not with 0. That is why we should count as reply # plus one.
-
2505!
It is just as valid an argument as yours ;)
No, because if we are going to count right, we have to include the number 1. And the number 1 is counted in reply #0 - aka. the original post. ba4 distracted us, so reply #33 didn't call out a number, thus changing the count.
Actually, he who started it all should have begun at 0, making post number 1 number 1 and number 2 1 number more than number 1 ;) Zero being the absolutely smallest number before negative (and we can't have negative posts) and therefore the starting number is zero :D

No but yes. I have quite a few, but I don't actively collect them.

I have many maps, but mostly aeronautical and maritime charts. I prefer using them over a GPS anytime. I'm quite skilled at navigating at night using charts.

I'm tired of roman numbers. Any other numerical systems around?
-
Hexadecimal :D It's just too late for me to learn it right now. I'll do that tomorrow:
MMLXIX
-
10010101110000
^ Binary
2570
^ Normal
MMLXX
^ Roman
9584???
^ Hexadecimal
-
Hexadecimal is definitely wrong, it needs to have letters (A-F) in the number.
MMLXXI
-
2572
;) >:( :o ;)
^ Smiley
-
MMDLXXIII
BEGC
-
A0E
^^ Hexadecimal for MMDLXXIV
-
2575
MMDLXXV
A0F? :P
-
Yes, you are correct! Now, what follows A0F? And what follows that?
MMDLXXVI
-
2577
MMDLXXVII
A1A, I guess?
-
Not entirely, what follows A0F is A10. Then your post would be number A11, and this one is
A12
As hexadecimal numbers go 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-A-B-C-D-E-F and start again.

2000+500+70+5+4*1/1+1^2-1=2579

we need ba4 or someone to spam this thread

We just make a competition: The one who posts most post here gets a token :P
-
Screw it, I'll have a go A15 :o
-
2586
^ At least that correct
Why only one token? Why not the amount of posts here? :P And who wants to take the job of counting each and every post made by every user in here? :P
-
A1B <- should be correct too!
Why did you go A15, zach?
-
2588
A1C
-
A1D
Or the one who names #10,000 gets an A380 :P

By this pace, AM might have evolved into version six, or something...

^^^Reminded me of the ARJ-21 - total DC-9 ripoff :P

How? :P

It has the body of the DC-9/MD-80/B717 and the engines and wings of the CRJ. Look:

Yay, a milestone! :D

2602
A30 or A3A (don't remember which)
I'm probably going to be dead before we reach 10 000.
-
A2A is correct, it goes like this:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F then over again.
-
You forgot to count.
2604
A2B

Yes, I forgot to count... :( But then you are wrong ;)

Can you guess what F7B stand for?
-
A3F
F7B would be around 3700... I think. Let me calculate ... it is 3899 :D I was closer than you were :P
-
2624
A3G
I have no idea if it's correct, we'll see when we get there... eventually. :P
-
Nonononononnno :P The idea of hexadecimal is that you only count to "F" (or 15), then continue with 10:
7 - 8 - 9 - A - B - C - D - E - F - 10 - 11
So you should have said A40, then I say A41
-
binary
101001000010

Got a bit confused there, with 3G internet and everything :P

Don't worry, as long as you can count :D

I don't know how much I've counted. But it's a lot! :P
-
2632
A47
^^^ i think we made it :D
-
Yea... We made it to 2633 :P
Or A48, if you're like me!
You know, we could count in octal, then we will make 10000 even faster :D
-
2634
A49
We could always do that. I don't think there was a rule about counting one number at a time... so... :D
-
Well, there was a rule of not multi-posting... :P
Octal = eight-number system: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12 etc...
A4A
-
2636
A4B
A quick Google says that the octal is 5114. We need something faster :P
-
A4C
What about Base five?
-
2638
A4D
I have no idea what the exact number will be but I know for sure that we have passed it.
625 (in Base 5)
-
I think it would be a bit higher in base five. 2638 in base five is 41023 (4*625 + 1*125 + 0*25 + 2*5 + 3*1) just like A4D is 10*256+ 4*16 + 13*1 :D
A4E
or in base 5: 41024
-
2640
A4F
I meant that 625 in normal numbers would be 10,000 in Base 5 :P
-
Oh, I see what you mean now :D
A50
-
2642
A51
-
A52 :D
A51, that could only be Area 51 :P
-
2644
A53
Umm... that could be a british highway. Or the A530, should it exist.
-
A54
As far as I know, many countries use the Axx designation for main roads/highways ;)
-
2646
A55
In Europe we use those E-xxx roads, right?
-
A56
Yeah, but those are the border-crossing roads. Not all main roads have E-numbers.
A56: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A56_road_(Great_Britain)
-
2648
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A57(M)_motorway
Not all E-roads are border-crossing :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_route_E136
I may have been confused a bit. E-roads are the main roads here in Norway, at least.
-
A58
That is because they are spurs or treated like national roads. A few countries have adopted E-numbers as national road systems - just like Norway ;)
-
2650
A59
Oh, and I think there are some roads in Norway called the Rv[insert number], but no one cares about those poor roads :P
-
A5A
Well, the smallest Danish roads with numbers have three numbers (e.g. 151), but they are not really important. The most important are the through-running E-roads :D
-
2652
A5B
At least the Danish roads don't have holes in them :P
-
A5C
You think? Trust me, they have. Even highways! :/
How bad are Norwegian roads?
-
2654
A5D
Last time I was in Denmark we didn't encounter too many holes. We drove from Hirtshals to Nyborg via the E45 and then we wen't to Holstebro via some road I don't remember. I think we could count the holes on one hand.
It depends a bit in Norway, because of the mountains and stuff. The roads are generally okay in the cities, but my father used to tell me each time we passed a hole in the road near the ferry dock that it had been there for over 30 years. They started to work on it this week :P
-
A5E
Some streets in inner Copenhagen have more holes than swiss cheese :/ And some highways haven't been re-paved since their construction. 50 years ago...
-
2656
A5F
Haven't been in Copenhagen, so that's probably why I've never seen holes in Denmark :lol:
-
A60
Well, now I'll see how Norwegian roads are... I'm on the ship to Oslo right now :D
-
2658
A61
Hope you enjoy Norway ;) What boat are you on?
-
A62
Copenhagen - Oslo :P Damn slow internet....
You were right, Norwegian roads are filled with holes... Even the E-roads!
-
2660
A63
At least the roads are safer than this one in Bolivia:
(http://www.frogcitycheese.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/North-Yungas-Road.jpg)
Whose idea was it to place a road, next to a potential drop of several hundred meters, and not having any guard rails?
-
How about the old main road from Gudvangen to Voss? Until 1990 it was the main road. Today it is a uni-directional road closed for big traffic. I mean, a 4 metre wide road for the main Oslo - Bergen connection? With 14 hairpin bends and a steepness of up to 25%, I think it did enter the "dangerous road" category ;)
(A64)
-
2662
A65
I've never driven there, so I don't know. I suppose it's better now? :P Hairpin bends, no one is as epic as Trollstigen.
-
A66
You think? Then think again!!

-
2664
A67
Okay that last one was kinda epic but why not just make some gentle curves instead of like random hairpin bends. Like in the lower part.
-
It was made around 150 years ago, not so much consideration for buses back then ;) Besides, it climbs ~450 metres, so soft curves would be hard to do. And where is the fun in soft curves?
A68
-
2666
A69
I don't know. I guess it's easier to drive then? :P

Stalheim looks strikingly similar to that picture you posted. Could it be the same? :P

where does the road go? maybe they should have just built a very long incline :P

The road continues in a tunnel :P
-

Oh, a spiralling tunnel? :D
-
2674
A71
I presume so. I haven't been there, but I saw a video of it once. It was spirally. :P
-
A72
A video of a tunnel. How appealing :P
-
2676
A73
Not many tunnels have that honour ~ :P
-
A74
And then it's even spiralling! :P
-
2678
A75
When were talking about tunnels, I came to think about this tunnel that is 22 km (maybe even longer). What happens if the engine stops right in the middle of the tunnel? :P
-
A76
Oh, the longest road tunnel in the world? I was in it :D
It is inclined, so you can roll up (or down) to one of the caves ;)
-
2680
A77
Hmm, that's kinda interesting. Some Norwegian tunnels are kind of dangerous, like the one in Lysefjorden that actually only have one lane. There was definately enough room for two lanes inside, don't know why they only made one :P
-
A78
I strongly doubt there is room for two lanes:

I agree... but have you seen the stats page (http://stephenm.org/smfforum/index.php?action=stats) for the forum? We almost set a new record of 3750++ new members in our forum this month, yet we have the second-lowest monthly post count. :P
-
A7E
Wow... It seems like spam-bots have cracked the captcha system :/ Hopefully they wont start spamming!
-
2688

Maybe they could spam our count to 10000? So we could be "hey spammer, you forgot to count", and we'll get some free help. :P
-
A80
I doubt they are so intelligent. They are bots after all :P
-
2690
A81
Not all bots are unintelligent. At least the ones in Wikipedia are clever :P
-
A82
Have you ever had a chat with CleverBot? It is quite interesting :P
-
2692
A83
Many times. He/She/It keeps telling me he/she/it's a walroose for some reason.
-
A84
I don't believe whenever he/she/it says it's a he/she. I'm completely sure it is a it.
-
2694
A85
Obviously he's/she's/it's/bot's is a walroose though. It keeps telling me that. :P
-
A56
Have you specifically asked whateverthatis if whateverthatis is a walrus? Or does whateverthatis just randomly proclaim "I am a walrus"?
-
2698
A87
It depends. Today I asked "are you a walroose?" and CleverBot answered "I am".
And it's not a walrus, but a walroose. Apparently a mixture between a walrus and a moose.

I'd like to meet a walroose. I wonder how they sound like

@Airbus: It's a different numeral system.
@Matias: Let's hope it won't crash again though.
-
Whoa, I completely overlooked Airbus' answer... And our counting is way off... :P
It should be 2704 and A90
@Airbus: A90 is the same as 2704, but in hexadecimal. This is where you - long story short - count to 16 before continuing to ten: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10
This means that 1-10 in hexadecimal is actually 16 numbers.

-
B00
NEW MILESTONE!!! B00!!! :D
No, but you can always purchase them in the game :D
-
2721
B01
I've never done that, actually. In any browser-based game.
Also, I just noticed the [more] section next to the smileys. There's only one. O0 :P
-
B02
I hate games where you have to pay in order to be able to keep up with the other paying players... Luckily, tokens have no direct influence on the airline, so no problem here :D
-
2723
B03
I agree. One shouldn't buy themselves into the biggest airline/football team/drug dealer/whatever. I have nothing against payment in these game as long as it don't give any unfair advantages to those who don't. O0
-
B04
But it's still cool to have paid tokens :D
-
2725
B05
Possibly. What other browser based games do you also play?
-
B06
I used to play Ogame six years ago, I also played Ikariam a while ago, then I played another airline sim and finally stumbled across AM. I did also play a (100% free) game called TOCgame (Train Operating Company game), but it had very few players and doesn't exist any more...
-
2727
B07
I think I played Ikariam some years ago, but I got bored of it pretty quickly. I tried to log on now, but I've changed email since the last time I played and I don't remember the password to that email. :P I'm also playing a sports sim called Powerplay Manager, which I quite like because there is no unfair advantages for those who buy the Pro-Pack, just a bunch of extra features.
-
B08
The problem with Ikariam-like games is that you end up waiting tens of hours for that building to be ready...
-
2729
B09
I know. Should be more like SimCity, where you just plop a giant stadium that covers almost a quarter of your city and it's there in a second. Highly unrealistic, but hey, at least you won't have to wait. :P
-
B0A
SimCity was fun, but there hasn't really been made a worthy successor yet... Maybe Cities XL?
-
2731
B0B
I think the newest SimCity has the potential to the a worthy successor, but they really screwed it up this time.
-
B0B
Hello, Bob :D
B0C
I saw one of my friends play it, I wonder why they made the city tiles so far away from each other - and so small!
-
2733
B0D
Hello, Boc..? 8)
I have the game myself, and I really liked it, but it was really boring when I had expanded the city out as far as possible. And it didn't take too much time to fill up the tiles, unlike the previous versions where it could a loooong time before the tiles are full.
-
B0E
Try out Cities XL, I find it more interesting than SC4 - the only drawback is that it has no railroads...
-
2735
B0F
Hmmm, maybe I should. This picture certainly looks very interesting:
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qoWPb_Pp9MY/URDfAbd-gwI/AAAAAAAAAa0/Uq3nYRS3KJI/s1600/cxl_screenshot_hong-kong_52.jpg)
-
B10
Give it a try, the best thing is that the roads (and thus everything else) can be placed freely in any direction. Better graphics is also a plus, and the maps are huge compared to SC4.
-
2737
B11
I'm probably going to give it a try later on.
-
B12
Go on, try the demo (if there is such a thing)
-
2739
B13
Apparently the demo ended almost four years ago. :P
-
B14
Really?? Wow... Then it should be cheap to buy (unless you buy it from their website)
-
2741
B15
I suppose the price for Cities XL went up after the disastrous launch of SC2013. I saw a price graph for SimCity 4 on Amazon (i think), and the price went from something like $7 to $16 right after the launch.
-
B16
I suppose you're right, it wouldn't surprise me :P
-
2743
anyone playing cities in motion here 2?
although its not a city builder, there is still a great editor!
-
B18
I have Cities in Motion 1. I just can't bother to buy the new one, as the old one is waaaay to slow on my machine. I prefer Traffic Giant, even though it is more than ten years old...
-
2745
B19
Cities in Motion looks cool, but it's not something I'm really bothered with. Maybe I'l try the demo once. (if there is one ofc) :P
-
B1A
Cities in Motion is more like an urban transport management game rather than urban simulation.
Speaking of transport management, I just happened to stumble across a very nice game called Traffic Game. Besides its frequent crashes it is a wonderful game, better than Cities in Motion in some ways. Link:
http://download.cnet.com/Traffic-Game/3000-2115_4-10512503.html
-
2747
B1B
You're right abot the crashes. It reminds of this game I tried a while ago - Chart Wars 3, and it crashed a lot.
EDIT: Just tried Traffic Game. Didn't manage to open it, it crashed. About to try the demo for Cities in Motion.
-
B1C
You didn't even get it to open? Haha :P How many times did you try?
-
2749
B1D
About 10 times. :P Just tried the demo for Cities in Motion, it was pretty cool. I think I had too many buses though, they kept blocking the street.

Yes, actually! :D But then it melts away. Just for it to snow again. And melt. And snow.....

Atleast try cities in motion 2, traffic is much better, in CIM 1, the city was totally blocked within 2 games months :P

I haven't tried CiM 2, but the traffic was a hell in CiM 1 :P

Is there a demo for CiM 2? :D

B30
But I just got addicted to SimCity again and I've made this lovely small city town on this lovely new map and I've built this Coal mine and I can't wait for Update 7 because there will be overpasses and tunnels and all that types of thingys and I really like my new city and I can name all the families that live there and watch stalk them all day while I make some money from the Coal mine and then the night comes and I will try to protect the city from thieves by removing the entrance to the city because I can't afford the police station yet and then I rebuild it again...
But, maybe I'll buy CiM 2 sooner or later. Most likely later.
-
B31
If you liked CiM 1, I'm quite sure CiM2 will be interesting for you. It is more of a city-builder game with emphasis on the transport in the city. And it has timetabling :D
-
2770
B32
I quite liked the demo, so I'm probably going to buy it soon . Too busy petting the ~250 people living in Thunder Alley Forest right now. :P

B33
250 people? Ha!

2772
B34
It's more like 550 now. I don't know, I like those small cities. Maybe that was the intention in the first place
And here's a picture of Thunder Forest:

2789. 789 feet more than i flew today.

Well, that was not very high, was it? At least it was higher than the A319 that just overflew my house... In central Copenhagen!

B45
Well, that was not very high, was it? At least it was higher than the A319 that just overflew my house... In central Copenhagen!
Not really, but the view is great from 2000 ft. From Sorø/Ringsted you can easily see all the way from Funnen/The Great Belt bridge to Kastrup/The Øresund bridge. And with the current wind heading, that A319 flew right over EKRK.
PS: Everything is opposite when flying. Throttle controls altitude, attitude controls speed.
-
B48
Well, that's because you use trim, I suppose?
-
2794
B48
Well, that's because you use trim, I suppose?
One needs to use trim all the time. As one instructor keeps telling us - Pilots shouldnt be doing anything at all, apart from chatting with the stewardesses! Keep it easy, tight controls are just a bother.
When you increase the throttle, you increase the airspeed over the wings, lifting the plane.
If you increase the attitude (Angle of attack) you increase drag, slowing the plane. But it doesnt fall out of the sky, because by increasing AofA you increase lift at the same time. Follow me?
Strictly speaking its not that black and white at all. You need to work with the controls - all the controls - all the time. Its really hard to start with. I was exhausted after my first flight of only 10 minutes. Yesterday was my 4th flight, 1:30 with steep turns and dives, and I managed to get airsick in the process :lol:
-
B50
Well, in such a small plane flying so low I see how you would need to use trim all the time, but when flying at cruise altitude, I don't it has to be used all the time?
-
2796

On commercial jets the trim is automatic. It runs all the time too.

I sure hope it runs all the time. :D

Yes, whenever somebody moves a bit in the cabin you need to retrim. Turbulence, turns, speed changes etc all require retrimming too. And the tight controls keep sneaking up on you. Before you know it, you are fighting the controls again.
-
B55
But haven't you let go of the controls? And use trim instead?
-
2801
B55
But haven't you let go of the controls? And use trim instead?
Let go? No, you need one hand on the yoke at all times. And the other hand on the throttle/mixture column. However the instructors often ask us to remove our hands from the controls every once in a while to show us if we have trimmed the plane properly.
Yesterday was my 5th flight, and for the first time it all felt completely normal. Near perfect coordination between throttle and yoke, trimming as required etc. Even the stall exercises went pretty well. And after 1:40 in the air I made a practically perfect crosswind landing, all on my own.
BTW, are you coming to the airshow this weekend?
-
B57
It sounds difficult... But fun! :D
BTW, I don't know... The weather looks bad... Maybe I'll go

An MD-80 or ATR display I believe.

2810
B5E
Where is that airshow held?
-
B5F
Roskilde Airport, ~30 kilometers from Copenhagen. It's a general aviation airport.
Link to map: http://goo.gl/maps/hBZEg
-
2811
Yeah, Roskilde is pretty much the airport for all aircraft not flying normal scheduled services (They go to Kastrup). But on a nice sunny day, the circuit is far more busy than Kastrup ever gets. It's pretty normal to have 5 or 6 planes in the circuit to land.
-
B61
But pretty much only small toy planes land there :P
-
2813
Well that was an intense end to the show. The Bf-109 was making it's display when it makes a strange wide turn away from the display area. Suddenly I notice that he dives at a very steep angle, very low and with very little speed. He belly landed the plane onto a field. Apparently the engine cut out.
On a second note, guess what I am doing tomorrow 8) Engine failure at low altitudes :lol:
-
2815
B63
That sounded a bit dangerous. If I were there I would probably have that accident with the stunt woman in mind, when the pilot did that maneuver, but the pilot sounded professional.
-
B64
Well, the Bf-109 is an old aircraft anyway, but luckily nothing bad happened! Engine failures are the most fun to do (at least in FS)
-
2816
The aircraft was pretty much unharmed.
-
B66
That was very lucky! On the other hand, poor farmer...

2818
Double poor. Last friday part of his field and a house next to it burned to the ground.

The wind can blow from 360 different degrees. Only two of those can give you a straight headwind or tailwind. So yes, crosswind is pretty normal. Today I flew solo landing circuits from runway 29. The wind was 300 degrees and 9 knots, so only 7 degrees off the runway centerline. Even so, you can certainly feel the crosswind component.

Rules state that when you fly IFR you must speak english. When flying IFR, you don't look outside, so you can't spot other planes. Therefore it is vital for safety that everybody can understand what the other planes in the vicinity are ordered to do.
Sometimes IFR training is performed as a VFR flight, only the student wears foggles and the instructor looks outside as during a normal VFR flight. Yesterday we decided to file it as an IFR flightplan, but I wasn't aware of the english requirement :lol: I got to do an ILS approach though, which was really cool 8)

I don't actually think that mobiles can interfere with airplane systems if it's only one, but if there is several hundred mobiles I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Are there any known tests on this?

A single phone can most certainly interfere with the systems. When the crew asks to turn off mobile phones, turn them off.
Testing has been done, and results have been mixed with some interefering, and some not. Thing is, the phone can be placed everywhere the passengers can go. And it can be any kind of phone, with any kind of app, and therefore a complete and thorough test is practically impossible.

How about a radio scanner to listen to the radio communications?

I wouldn't know about those, but I have my doubts about the legality of those. But it's not as if anyone ever stops the spotters at the airports, so I don't think they bother about them.

I read something on Reddit once - I don't remember exactly how it went, but it was something about phones, and each time someone recieved a message (or some signal, I don't remember) the pilot will hear a "click" in his/her headphones. I'll see if I can find that.
-
C00
Yeah, the signal does something with speakers. Mostly old, I think?

I would assume so.

I was over the Copenhagen area today. (Værløse, Farum and the old Værløse Airbase.)
-
C0C
Have you ever flown over central Copenhagen?
-
2972
No I haven't, and I probably never will. And for good reasons too.
1. It is well inside Copenhagen CTR, and I will need permission to come inside that zone. It is just too bothersome calling them on radio and asking for permission, and I'd prefer to just fly around. Too many heavys and mediums occupy that frequency, and it is good airmanship not to disturb those more than necessary.
2. The rules for flying above a built-up area are as following: Maintain at least 1000 feet above the highest object within 600 meters of you, and be within glide distance of an unpopulated field so that you can crash and burn without bringing people on the ground in danger.
I have seen plenty of GA planes flying above Copenhagen, and they must be pretty awesome planes. I know for a fact that the PA-28-161 has an awesome glide ratio of 1:10 (According to Piper, more like 1:8 in reality). Thats a lot better than the Cessna 172, Piper Arrow, and most other GA planes! When it comes down to it, 1:10 isn't great at all. The highest obstacle in the center of Copenhagen is 561 feet. So that puts me at 1600 feet. Thats about 2.5 nm of gliding distance, or about 4.5 - 5 km. And thats without turning.
-
2974
COD
-
C0F (I think, too lazy to check :P )
I'm pretty sure I've seen aircraft fly lower than 1600 feet in here. Not to talk about helicopters!
-
2976
C11
I would assume they were landing or something?
-
2976
Interesting fact: The plane I flew my first solo in was displayed by Piper at the Paris Airshow in 1989 ;)
-
2978
C12
What plane was it?
-
2979
C13
I guess I'll have to count for myself then :D
-
It's a PA-28-161

Yes it was.

Nope, there is no approach over central Copenhagen...
Regarding the Piper, do you have any sources?

Okay, I believe you now.

Haha :P
-
2991
T´was a windy day today.
-
C21
But Copenhagen had a lucky runway heading - aircraft landed in the almost-hurricane!
-
2993
Yes, I noticed that as well. Passengers couldn't disembark though. To be honest, I'd rather be at 30.000 ft over the hurricane and waiting for it to blow by, than be stuck on the tarmac.
We had a few diversions at Roskilde as well. A couple of Sun Air Dornier 328JETs. They had to park the fire engines in front of them to prevent them from blowing away. The wind was also strong enough to allow the Pipers to take off with a runway distance of 0 meters. (Not that we tried).
-
C23
If the pipers could take off with no take off roll, then it would be stupid to try to taxi to the runway... One little error and you are in the air :lol:
-
2995
There is only one thing worse than being up there wishing you are down here. That thing is when you are down here and suddenly find yourself involuntarily up there.
-
C25
Doesn't sound fun... Did any aircraft fly involuntarily?

-

You'll be here for the 4000 :D
-
3008
I will get the correct 4000.

C31
No you won't. I will get the correct 3999 and norge will get the correct 4000
Or the other way around :D
-
3010
I will get the correct 9999 and 10000 and 10001 though.
-
C33
But you can't get all three

Considering VS' 3000 in reality was a 2999, he'd probably get two of them.

Besides, I it first ;) :lol:

C36
What if person A gets reply3000 and person B gets number 3000? And VS is neither?
-
3015
Interesting question. Strictly speaking, it could indeed happen in a parallel dimension. Or you would have to invent the time-machine first.
-
3017
Time machines sounds really interesting. Is there any drop of hope that it is scientifically possible?
-
C39
I think it's theoretically possible. But practically nope.
-
2018
Enough of this discussion of me counting correctly.
Today I flew an ILS approach to rwy 21 Roskilde while wearing foggles. Then I went home and did the exact same thing on flight simulator using the Jeppesen plate 8)
-
C3B
But did you time travel? I think not! :P
-
2020
Time travel is generally not advisable in the Piper Cadet. You might by accident end up in the period from 1940 to 1945, and with most likelihood get shot down.
-
C3D
Oh, what aircraft would you suggest then?
-
3022
Anything capable of outflying the fastest WWI, WWII, Korean War and early-Cold War planes.
-
C3F
Oh, so pretty much only the SR-71 (and derivatives)? Hmm... I'll better check the future, to see if they have any useful scramjets...
-
Nah, they were civilised enough by the 60s.
-
C41
Say that to the Soviets... :P
-
3026
The Soviets shot down a single 747 that strayed into restricted Soviet airspace and didn't react to several Soviet warnings. The Israelis and Americans however...
- Libyan Arab Airlines Flight 114
- Aerolinee Itavia Flight 870
- Iran Air Flight 655
-
C43
You see? It was dangerous back then!
-
3028
C43

Yes. That why I always send a flightplan.
-
3031
C45
Take a small plane which no one can see. You won't get shot down, and the other planes can't see you. Problem solved.
-
3030
Oh, you mean like a Piper Cherokee - aka the smallest practical plane there is? Most people can see it. Thing is, small planes don't usually go very high ;) :lol:
-
C46
What about a small bizjet?
-
3032
A Global Express wouldn't be a bad idea. It can fly higher than most.
-
3034
C48
But it isn't small enough. The Soviet Union might shoot you down.
-
C49
What if ... It was a Tupolev 444? :D
-
3036

Soviet know you are inside the Soviet built plane. Soviet knows everything. Soviet shoots the plane down.

Sweden was VERY close indeed. In fact, should I have suffered an engine failure at that point, gliding to Sweden would have been the shortest route to a suitable field.

Isn't it like ten kilometres apart there?

About 1.5 - 2 nautical miles, if I remember correct.
I've never been to Sjælland... only Fyn and Jylland. Legoland was just a wild guess (so was Germany) :P
Fyn and Jylland are also the best parts of Denmark. There is absolutely nothing worth seeing on Sjælland. Just fields and highways and a pair of airports and a not-so-nice and incredibly expensive city ;)
-
Oh, they're so close? I would never have imagined...
Jylland is nothing more than fields and highways. And a village here and there... :P

I agree. You get nice forests in one part, nice beaches in another part, a nice city in one corner, nice hills somewhere else, nice rivers/streams/lakes in a different place. Sjælland however is nice fields in the west, muddy fields and dirty roads in the south and suburbia in the east. And a big forest in the middle.
-
3065
C67
And Fyn is just a countryside with a few cities here and there.

Jette's Diner is pretty good. They specialize in homemade burgers of all sorts (Beef, Chicken, Pork, Fish, Ostrich, Kangaroo etc.). Jensen's Bøfhus is okay. Under Uret just opposite Brugsen is the best though.

There's even a formula for that!
N = R+1
Where "N" stands for number and "R" for replies. :D

because the first post is not counted as a reply, and it said 1 :D
-
3079
C75
Oh, I just read the first page and my prediction of when this will be done was completely wrong... :P

You are all wrong. The first post was post number 0. Therefore: N=R where R = the total number of posts and N = the number of the post.

3152 posts in about 2.5 years. Lets see, we should reach post number 10000 in about... 5 years and 3 months. So that would be somewhere around Wednesday the 27th of March 2019, or the 28th if we count like Mathias. I suppose I will be a Captain with Emirates at the time, which puts me in a dilemma. What if I am out flying my A380 on that day? Will the A380s have wifi by then so I can snatch post numbers 9.999, 10.000 and 10.001?
-
3154

Nah. Iran Air won't operate the 747-8i. When the final 747-8i has gone to the great scrappers in the sky, there will still be Iran Air 747-100, 747-200 and 747SPs operating.

Sorta correct. It is operated by the Air Force on commercial flights.

Wow... I wonder what kind of seats they have. Old or not so old?
-
3163
From the photos I have seen, pretty old. And locally upholstered.
On an interesting note, most, if not all Saha planes (707s and 747-100s) are former tankers. At least one 747 still has the boom.

But maybee it's now the right time ;)

3201
Air Nostrum got it this time.
-
Yeah, counting in the lesser right way... :P
3203
-
3203
There is no lessor way. Only the right stuff.
-
Oh, you mean this?
3205
-
3205
I'm a pilot. I am the right stuff ;) 8)

3207
Not until you've flown a jet below the Great Belt Bridge!

Not until you've flown a jet below the Great Belt Bridge!
1°) 833 feet high !!!
2°) Pay attention to the F16 of the RDAF !
-
3209
I think it's more like 150ft, if I remember correctly. You know, beneath the bridge span ;)
-
3209
Flying under bridges is for pussies (Fighter pilots). Commercial pilots fly down steep valleys with multiple turns enroute to the runway. In fog. At night. Blinded by the landing lights. With only 30 feet of clearance. And without a 1:1 thrust to weight ratio. 8)

My hero :-* :-* :-* (Just kidding) :lol: :lol: :lol:
-
3211
My hero :-* :-* :-*
With several hundred passengers hurtling through the sky in a narrow aluminium tube, and in the case of Boeing, with a flaming battery too, only a hero can save them. The pilot is always a hero. And he saves several thousand passengers every year. 8)
-
My double hero :-* :-* :-*
-
3214
If he can fly a 380 below the Great Belt bridge in low visibility, crosswinds and fully loaded, then he's my hero :P
-
3215
Matias, why won't you reply to my PM :(
-
3216
I did already :D
-
3216
Bah. Whats with your obsession with that bridge. I can fly through the Tunnel, so flying under a bridge is hardly any problem.
-
3218
Show me you can fly through the tunnel!!
-
3218
me too 8)
-
3219.
Certainly. But you will have to sit in the aircraft with me ;)
-
3221
Would you really like to do that to yourself? :P
-
Certainly. But you will have to sit in the aircraft with me ;)
If it is in the cockpit, ok for me ;)
-
3222
3220
Would you really like to do that to yourself? :P
As a matter of fact, I'd rather not have you in the cockpit. It would be better if you observe my tunnel flight from within the tunnel ;) >:(
BTW, when will we be getting the Piper PA-28-161 Cadet in the game, Mathias?
-
As a matter of fact, I'd rather not have you in the cockpit. It would be better if you observe my tunnel flight from within the tunnel ;) >:(
:'( :'( :'(
-
3225
We don't add aircraft that have less than 8 or 9 passengers as a rule of thumb :D
-
3226
Aww, please make an exception ;) You have been counting the right way all the time...
-
3227
Ask Stephen, I can't decide such things :P
-
3227
Please Stepen? :P
-
3229
Now you're counting wrong again... :P

Why, welcome back :D

3233
welcome back you 2 !
-
3235
Thanks, but I've always been here :P
-
3235
ATPL part 1 finished and passed ;) Now I'm back in the skies!
-
3236
I like how this is the only active thread
-
3238
It's because counting is the only right thing to do :P
Speaking of counting, do you know the game 2048?
-
3239
Have to say no to that one, never heard of it.
-
3240
http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/
Merge tiles with similar values using the arrow keys in order to get a tile with 2048 - and beyond :D How far can you get?
-
3241
Ooh, I love that game. I've managed the 1024 tile many times, but I can't get to that final one. :(
-
3242
It's not that hard, I've managed the 4096 tile one time even!
-
3243
Why am I still procrastinating? :-\
-
3244
You're addicted to 2048 as well? :D
-
3245
Yes, and now even the 3d version (use q & e to change levels):
http://www.crazygames.com/game/2048-3d
-
3246
I thought that was like three dimensions, not 3 boards. :P
-
it's three boards, they're just interconnected. It's really complicated... :P
-
3248
I did (finally) manage the 4096 tile yesterday. :D
-
3249
How many tries did it take you? :P
-
3250
Not too many after I figured out that it was best to have the highest tile in the corner, and have a "snake" leading to it.
-
3251
That game is the work of the devil, just saying... O_o
-
3252
norge got the trick :D
-
3253
Yay! Still waiting to get that 8192 tile though. :P
-
3254
Back to buisness...
-
3255
Long time, no see!
-
3256
Yeah had a break, but I am back once again :D
-
3257
-
3258
-
3259
-
3260
we need more people
-
3261
Or to be online more :D
-
3262
A bit of both perhaps :)
-
3263
Preferably more people
-
3264
What happened to people like norge :D
-
3265
Summer vacations :D
-
3266
not a valid excuse ???
-
3267
It's not like forests or beaches or most hotels stuff like that has free wifi :P
-
3268
Details... :roll:
-
3269
Sometimes important ;)
-
3270
-
Welcome to the count :D
3271
-
3272
London does in fact have wifi, but too bad you need to pay or whatever to actually use them (and the hotel's wifi was terrible).
-
3273
Just go to McDonalds if you need to :P
-
3274
I'm able to live without the webz for some hours anyway, so that wasn't a problem :P
-
3275
But.... No AM!?
-
3276
To be honest I'm kinda burned on AM... almost nothing have changed since I first started playing for about 5 years ago. But I left Hellenia to my assistant who fortunately didn't ruin the airline :P
-
3277
I know the feeling, but you'll get interested again some time soon
-
3278
Yeah, that goes in waves really. I do like AM but there's so little stuff going on, so it gets tiresome quickly whenever I decide to get back into it again.
-
3279
It's nice when you just want to relax :D
-
3280
If you have a small airline, that is. When I feel I'm making too much money I usually just buy a few planes without assigning them routes, and pretend that they serve the current destinations more than just once a day. :P
-
3281
That's actually pretty nice! I might even do that (with profitable airlines not in Africa, that is)
-
3282
Until multifrequency becomes profitable I guess that's the only option :P Do you remember the realistic world where we were supposed to have multifrequent routes? I really enjoyed that one.
-
3283
Yeah, I might make a new one this winter, if people are interested... We'll see about that
-
3284
I'm definitely in for that! :D
-
3285
I'll make a thread for it in a few months then :D
-
3286
Let's see if we can get a few more players in. :)
-
3287
Well, it's still a few months away
-
3288
Doesn't hurt to start early though
-
3289
Feel free to - I can still create it if you want to :)
-
3290
Kinda feel the same way as you norge, things have just become too stale in AM.
But welcome back to the real life (ze internetz)
-
3291
Damn, summer break ended yesterday :/
-
3292
Summer ends on Thursday for me :(
-
3292
Still hot though :/
-
:\ 3293
-
3294
O0
-
3295
So when is this new interesting update coming out, I must admint Airline Empires seems more interesting these days :(
-
3296
When we win the lottery :D
Well, I don't know. We are keeping half an eye on the empire game, but to be honest, AM is currently in another direction than them. Besides, we have more aircraft and airports :D
-
3297
What new interesting update? I need to know all the details :D
-
3298
I didn't mention any update :lol:
-
3299
ohh but I believe that you did :D
-
3301
No, you mentioned one, I didn't :P
-
Your number should've been 3300.
3301
Just join the political world conquest thingy game :)
-
3302
I like AM better* because its simple yet entertaining : )
-
3304
Your number should've been 3300.
Nope, I missed a number on the previous page. Remember, we always count as the post count +1 (except for VS, he can't count :lol: )
-
3305
shh just join the the UN game
-
3306
Just joined that one. :)
-
3307
:o
-
3308
Welcome to the game norge, the rest of you should join in as well :D
-
3309
Nah, I'm fine. And if I joined, I would probably use my mod powers to win :P
No I wouldn't...
-
3310
Prove it :D
-
3311
Nah, I don't feel like it :P
-
3312
-
3313
-
3314
We lost the norwegian again :D
-
3315
He's probably up in the mountains trekking :P
-
3316
Doing norwegian stuff :)
-
3317
Hunting trolls :P
-
3318
Probably :lol:
-
3319
Or Swedes :P
-
3320
What's wrong with swedes? :P
-
3321
They're Swedes ;)
Nah, you're all cool guys, we (Danes) love you :D
-
3322
Speak for yourself ^-^
-
3323
And we love you too (except the language) :D
-
3324
I love Norway :(
-
3325
Norway is great, and the language is actually comprehensible :D
-
3326
I got family up there so I might be a bit impartial on the subject :-X
-
3327
Everyone loves Norway! :D Let's play a game, name something bad about Norway if you can.
-
3328
Kvikk Lunsj, best chocolate ever :D
-
3329
Oh dear how I love that chocolate. It's so delicious! :)
-
3330
It is simply the best, I always take some with me home when I go back from Norway
-
I live in Murica... 3331
-
3332
So you don't know the luxuries of Norway :(
-
3333
At least they have Skittles. I recently went to London, and brought home a kilo of that. #weneedskittlesinnorway
-
3334
Think we have them in Denmark, are you sure they don't have them in Norway. Those are all my cousin ever speak about, and she lives near Oslo.
-
3335
We don't have Skittles in any ordinary store here in Norway. The only place that I'm aware of is the tax-free :(
-
3336
Poor Norwegians, though I cannot stand the taste of skittles...
-
3337
I should start a petition to bring Skittles to Norway. :D
-
#SkittlestoNorway2k15
3338
-
3339
I don't know why, but that hashtag reminded me of the whole "Kony 2012, Kony 2012, KONY 2012!"
-
3340
Wouldn't 2K15 be 200015 though?
-
3341
Textually, yes. Orally, no.
-
Yeah KONY was the first really popular hashtag, also its slang to say 2K15 rather than 2015.
3342
-
3343
Yeah I know, but it only makes sense when you say it, not when you write it.
Guess it was made popular by the 2k series?
-
3344
The basketball thingy?
-
3345
Yup the basketball game, fairly good actually.
-
3346
I've never tried it, but then again I'm not that interested in basketball.
-
3347
Norwegians don't like a sport which doesn't include constant sub zero temperatures :D
-
3348
Like ice hockey?
-
3349
Ice hockey, downhill skiing and something crazy like jumping from huge cliff'ish ramps, something they call skijump, crazy people.
-
3350
Ski jump is more of an Alpine thing :P
We're quite decent at sailing though. The king has even participated in the Olympics :)
EDIT: AND WOMEN'S HANDBALL!
-
3351
1. One word: Holmenkollen.
2. So did our crownprince
3. We are better
#DenmarkSoSwag
-
3352
NOT IN WOMEN'S HANDBALL, NORDVEI IS SUPERIOR! #ReigningOlympicChamps&AlmostEuros&AlmostWorld
-
3353
My bad, we have a good mens team
-
3354
Well at least you have good teams on both of the national teams, our men's team is mediocre. ;)
-
3355
I am a football guy, so I really couldn't care less :D
-
3356
At least you qualify for stuff. We've participated in the Euro's once, and then you guys have won the whole thing. :D
-
3357
1992! 1992! 1992! 1992! 1992! 1992! 1992! 1992! 1992!
-
3358
Wish we could experience that sometime. :'(
-
3359
I doubt we will see it again anytime soon.
-
3360
Well, Greece won it in 2004, so if it follows the "underdog-schedule" then we should have an underdog winner in France (1992-2004-2016)! If only we manage to qualify. :lol:
-
3361
Good luck, I believe more in Iceland :D
-
3362
I'm cheering for Iceland as well! Finland as well might have a chance to qualify for the first time to a championship. :D
-
3363
Denmark is going to qualify! :D
-
3364
And not go on to the next round, as usual :P
-
3365
It all depends on Lord Bendtner! All hail the Lord!
-
3366
We can't rely on one person, we have to grant more Brazilian football players citizenship! :P
-
3367
Do as Russia and give them money :)
-
3368
The Icelanders needs to come back to their origin country of Norway! Then we might be able to win the whole thing.
-
3369
We need to form one super nation, all hail the great nation of Scandinavia!
-
3370
To be honest, Iceland has been Danish too, you can't claim them just as that, norge :P
But a new Kalmar-nation sounds great :D
-
3371
The first Icelanders were Norwegian though ;)
We already have the nordic council, if that counts. :D
-
Norway is average at Hockey, but apparently 10th in the world :-\ Zuccarello is the only good NHL'er on the team. He played in the Stanley Cup Finals last year. Kristian-Tollefsen is a solid D-man. Neighboring Sweden, Denmark and Finland produce great talent though.
3372
-
I like Hockey if you didn't notice 3373
I'm baaaackkk
-
3374
Scandinavian countries are bad at sports except ice hockey and handball
-
3375
Pretty much every winter sport as well. Except those luge/skeleton things.
-
3376
We suck at winter sports :/
-
3377
Yup. And summer sports :P
-
3378
Saying Denmark is bad at winter sports is an understatement. 1 medal in your whole history, while across-the-Skagerrak has 329, only-land-neighbour has 209 (not including West or East), and across-the-Öresund has 144 olympic winter medals. But at least you're better than us in summer, which more people care aboiut. :D
-
3379
1992 1992 1992 1992 1992 1992 1992 1992
:D
-
Damn I've not been here in a looong time...
-
3381 (pretending hay counted :P )
What does a Dane say when you mention the lack of Danish sports ability?
1992 1992 1992 1992 1992 1992 1992 1992
-
3382 (isn't it cheating, it is count to 10000, not make 10000 forum posts ;) )
And you are spot on :D
-
3383
I know he counted. In his head. Or something... :P
-
3384
Welcome back Hay! If you can help us out we might be able to reach 10 000 before the sun digests Mercury. :D
-
3385
Omg!! How did I forget.. xD
-
3386
We distracted you :D
-
3387
The activity really isn't what it used to be haha
-
3388
I still remember when posts outside the general chat forum was a daily occurrence. ;)
-
3389
I remember when I was online others were too, at the same time
-
3390
Tell me more about these times of the past!
-
3391
Um, in the past, it was the present. :0
-
3392
Tell me more! :D
-
3393
More activity, more people, more fun, more liveries, more discusion, more everything!
-
3391
I still remember when posts outside the general chat forum was a daily occurrence. ;)
You can make it happen! You can take us into salvation! :lol:
-
1993matias, it seems as though you can't count. :P
*pretending you wrote 3394*
3395.
-
3396
Okay, I'll start a logo request thread! Maybe that'll liven up the branding centre. :D
-
3397
Thanks very much :D
-
3398
Slowly getting there lol
-
3399
(https://i.imgur.com/vwMin.gif)
But then I need some requests for logos :lol:
-
3400
It's just two zeros...
-
3401
We need four of them to win right?
Fun fact, in a year we've managed to count a total of ~450.
-
3402
Not bad
-
3403
Could be better though. Should it take 20 years to complete a simple count? :P
-
3404
We could sit here all the time counting a few times a minute and it should be done fairly fast. We're past the third of the count anyway :D
-
3405
Me gusta
-
3406
Let's do that, shall we? :D
-
3407
We tried... :P
-
3408
Tried to post many times a day? Don't do that, start work on implementing cargo aircrafts! :D
-
3409
No, multifrequency comes before all those inferior additions.
-
3410
As in you can have more than on aircraft per route?
-
3411
More than one daily flight (regardless of plane) on a route. I mean, you can do that now, but the weird thing is that it is actually more profitable to only fly with 1.0 frequency instead of like 10 times a day, even on routes like Madrid - Barcelona.
-
3412
In my experience it messes everything up if you fly one route with several aircrafts.
-
3413
That too. Multifrequency, we desperately need you!
-
3414
With the risk of a perma ban...
You want multifrequency? It is called Airline Empires...
-
3415
I already play that a bit, but it's kinda boring right now since all the gates in like every European airport is taken so I can't set the planes to some routes.
-
3415
Yeah, that kinda killed it for me as well. I usually join the newbie game when it starts.
-
3417
I like to have airlines in smaller nations. Less stress :D
-
3418
Had a good game as a Russian airline, really got places.
-
3419
I tend to go bankrupt though. Nations like Tunisia is just good enough, but Croatia is just too small.
-
3420
The Empire game (we call it that) is inferior, I think. All AM needs is multi-frequency and cargo aircraft, and it's the best once again :D
-
3421
The Empire is better in some areas and AM is better in others. :P If AM gets multifrequency soon I'll be ecstatic!
-
3422
I don't know, I like the pricing system in AE, the management aspect as well as salary, bonusses and that stuff.
-
3423
Also cabin layout like AS has would be great also!
-
3424
Don't you mean AE :)
But yeah, all those small things actually matters quite a lot IMO
-
Now, don't get carried away ;) We're not even supposed to talk about them :P
3425
-
3426
But like a cabin layout seat map. AE doesn't even have that, AS does I think. AWS too. CA is terrible, and I haven't played that for years. TAP is decent, but slow and hard to use, and AVS is just horrible. There, I mentioned pretty much every airline sim game. Do I get a ban? :P
-
3426
What is CA? And TAP? And AVS?
-
3428
CA - Cyber Airlines
TAP - The Airline Project
AVS - Aviationsim
-
3429
Can't a man say Æ anymore Matias!? What kind of sick forum is this, discriminating Danes! :D
-
3430
No, really. It's best not to discuss other games here, you can do it in private messages all you want ;)
Can't a man say Æ anymore Matias!? What kind of sick forum is this, discriminating Danes! :D
I said AE, not Æ - being a Dane myself, I would never discriminate myself! :P
-
3431
We use the Æ as well! It's discriminating all of us! :P
-
3432
That's just because it's a Danish dialect :P until nynorsk came along
-
3433
No one cares about Norwegian, get over it Norge! :D
-
3434
Yes, everybody do as long as they have oil :P
-
3435
To be honest we'd probably be as rich as Portugal if we didn't have oil.
-
3436
But with less heat. Horrible.
-
3437
If you want heat, then live near Kristiansand or something :P
-
3436
Luckily you do ^-^
-
3437
Oh nonono, I'm closer to Kristiansund than Kristiansand, but Kristiansund is still about 2 hours away. :)
-
3440 (I messed up, so you followed me)
A Molde FK fan inevitable... ^-^
-
3441
You are mocking dyslexics by having those two cities, Kristianssund and -sand :P
-
3442
It happens that people (mostly tourists though) go to the wrong city. :P
Molde is still about an hour and a ferry away from where I live though :)
-
3443
But they're so far away from each other :o
-
3444
You know, not everyone does their research. :P
-
3445
Which one do you prefer? Which one is the best Kristian city?
-
3446
I've actually never been to Kristiansand, so I can't judge them.
-
3447
Christiania, the old one ;)
-
3448
Have you ever been to Køpmannæhafn? Lovely city, so I have heard.
-
3449
It's called Køb-en-havn, we have a sale today ;) Cheap ports for everybody!
-
3450
But I actually like Oslo :(
-
3451
Oslo is nice, but not much better/worse than Copenhagen. I think.
-
3452
Personally I would choose Oslo any day.
-
2453
Having spent only a day there in recent times, I don't feel entirely qualified to discuss this :P
-
3454
Oslo is nice, but there's not too much to do there. :P
-
3455
Spoken as a true "northerner" If there isn't a ski lane thne it is not something for you :D
You could always go to Hollenkollen or what it is called
-
3456
Ski down Holmenkollen? Are you insane? :P Oslo does have some beautiful skiing places just north of the city. It's weird, just 20km north of the city centre there is a vast area of nothingness, except skiing.
-
3457
I know ;)
And why not Holmenkollen? It is not THAT big :D
-
3458
Just about 100m down and a certain death. :P

I like Sognefjorden. Just my random thought
-
3460
Have you ever been to Stryn kommune? The waters there have this lovely colour (https://www.google.no/maps/@61.8471982,6.9286153,3a,75y,214.69h,80.27t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sVtOMjnbgg7QdjIyqU_pjzw!2e0).
-
3461
Nope, only been around Oslo and the Lofoten :)
-
3462
I've always wanted to go to Lofoten, but I haven't been further north than Trondheim :(
-
3463
I can only recommend it, wonderful experience!
-
3464
Where did you go? Svolvær? :)
-
3465
Spot on, stayed in Svolvær and drove around Lofoten. Really stunning landscape!
-
3466
I envy their bridges. If you want to go anywhere in my fylke, you need a ferry to get anywhere.
-
3467
Yeah, just Norwegian things :D
-
3468
But now there are plans for like a gazillion bridges. I love bridges, but I also love the svele they serve on the ferries. :P
-
3469
I prefer ferries to bridges. You get to stretch your legs and take a break, on a bridge you just keep on driving...
-
3470
It's great if you're going on a trip, but if you're just going to quickly do some stuff in the city it might not be ideal.
-
3471
Take the speedboat ;)
-
3472
I haven't taken that one in years. Probably because I don't need one to get anywhere :P
-
3473
But you have fjords everywhere! :P
-
3474
And they have bridges everywhere. At least in Lofoten :D
-
3475
Tunnels exist, you know :D
-
3476
The worlds longest tunnel - I've been in it and above it, and to be honest, I prefer the road above :P
-
3477
Tunnels are kinda scary, after all it's just a tube that is surrounded by rock.
-
3478
Tunnels? These magical roads that goes through the mythical mountains? :D
-
3479
Yes, they have the world's longest road tunnel
-
3480
I simply don't believe this. Norway has mountains? :lol: Suuure, but they don't have anything like our glorious Heaven Mountain!
-
3481
I would not call that a mountain, rather a large hill or something.
-
3482
It is literally a mountain ;)
-
3483
Are you sure about that? :P
-
3484
Are you doubting a Danish national pride!?
-
3485
I mean, I live right next to a so-called "mountain", it does has mountain in it's name, but it takes like ten minutes to climb it.
-
3486
So called mountain? I thought you had mountains in Norway :P
-
3487
I wouldn't call that particular "mountain" a mountain, because it's barely 120m high :P
-
3488
Norway is a lie!
-
3489
I know, right! (http://clux.org/imgs/entry/2205/snoreway.jpg)
-
3490
I am speechless...
-
3491
Don't worry, Denmark is a lie as well.
-
3492
Nahaa, 1992!
-
3493
Do you think you'll qualify this time? I guess it's likely with all the shenanigans with Albania and Serbia, and the penalties they might get from it.
-
3494
What happened in the Balkans?
-
3495
Drones and stuff (http://www.ba.no/sport/article7639577.ece).
-
3496
They hate each other, I guess :P
-
3497
Of course we will
-
3498
We will what? :P
-
3499
This, I think
Do you think you'll qualify this time? I guess it's likely with all the shenanigans with Albania and Serbia, and the penalties they might get from it.
-
3500!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Matias is correct.
-
3501
But Iceland are doing magnifient, and I'm really exited for them! :D
-
3502
Denmark will succeed we are after all Danish. You know, the reigning European Champions from 1992 ;)
-
3503
Why is everybody focusing on football? We're good at so many other sports too :D
-
3504
Because no one cares about the others expect when it's the Olympics ;)
-
3505
But... Futsal :P
-
3506
Because we suck at Futsal, no 1992 there :D
-
What about handball?
3507
-
3508
We are good, but not as many nations play it, and even fewer plays it good. So I guess there is not as much prestige in it, though if you ask the generel Dane he/she will defend handball to the bitter end.
-
3509
... and even fewer plays it good...
we haven't won any championship for a long time with a few exceptions...
-
3510
Handball is really popular here. Probably the third most popular sport, after football and xcountry-skiing. :)
-
3511
we haven't won any championship for a long time with a few exceptions...
The men won European gold in 2012 and World silver in 2013
-
3512
Yeah, and that's about it for recently :P
-
3513
Nothing to be ashamed of though :P
-
3514
The ladies never win gold :/
-
3515
Change of subject! :D
norge, new subject :)
-
3516
I mean you keep bringing up 1992. :P How about... politics? Entertainment? The future?
-
3517
What will your next flight be?
-
3518
My next flight is uncertain. Haven't got any plans :P
-
3519
IRL or Sim?
-
3520
IRL, I don't play that much sim anymore unfortunately. :P
-
3521
I hope my next flight goes to Norway (I know a pilot there 8) ), but nothing is certain now.
In sim? I don't fly these days...
-
3522
I personally hope for a flight to the Seychelles. Really want to go there. :D
-
3523
Denmark is getting a direct flight to the Maldives (I think) this winter :D
-
3524
Ooh, that's interesting. You don't have a route to Botswana, by any chance :P I want to go to a safari :D
-
3525
3523
Denmark is getting a direct flight to the Maldives (I think) this winter :D
From Billund
My next flight will be Hamburg-Dubai
-
3526
Ooh, that's interesting. You don't have a route to Botswana, by any chance :P I want to go to a safari :D
Africa? Only Morocco and Egypt, sorry. But Malmö has flights to Iraq!
-
3527
Iraq, everyones dream destination at the moment :P
-
3528
I know, but then again, it has a couple of flights a week with a 320, so maybe not so many people go there? :P
-
3529
Why would anyone though? :P
-
3530
Probably people with family there
-
3531
Would seem legit.
-
3532
And people who bought vacation packages for 1000 kroner ($200 for you folks over there)
-
3533
It's sad how war destroys nations like that. Syria has (or had) lots of beautiful and historical buildings and cities, and now most are in ruins.
-
3534
Ruins attract people too, just look at Greece and Italy - all hope is not lost :)
-
3535
But no one knows about the Syrian ones, unlike the Colosseum and the Parthenon.
-
3536
The what and the what? :D
-
3537
lmgtfy :P
-
3538
Zach, you should at least know the names of them :P
-
3538
Most syrian archeological sites were either ruins already, or had been rebuilt as turist attractions in the last 10 years. And they have all suffered from various invasions/wars over the last 2000 years. I actually find it quite amazing how the various citadels and crusader castles in the region have found use again. Castles havent been used in warfare since, what, the 1500s?
-
3540
2014 haven't really been the best year when it comes to peace. Crimea gets annexed, IS takes territory in the Levant, the Israel/Palestine conflict escalates... :-X
-
3541
The price of peace can be high, espicially if one asks the question if there can be peace.
-
3541
crimea and novorussia didnt want to be ukrainian. Them becoming part of russia was by far the most peaceful way. The ukrainians were fools to think they could ban all russian culture and round up the jews.
-
3543
When you think about it, humankind has not had any year with peace. Ever :(
-
3543
1922 wasn't that bad ??? ???
-
3544
I wouldn't say Novorussia has done it in the most peaceful way, since there is currently a civil war thing in Donetsk/Luhansk. Crimea was more peaceful, but not really in the same way as Scotland could have become.
-
3545
Novorussia became bloody because the daft Ukrainians insisted on bombing the civilians protesting against the maidan coup. Really, what did the ukrainians expect?
-
3547
The same thing USA expects when bombing Iraq, peace, I guess :P
-
3548
I kinda wish that the US and Russia weren't that huge powers, I sometimes feel like they cause too much troubles with US invading pretty much every Arab nation and Russia invading their neighbors. Why can't countries like say Switzerland or Iceland be powerful? :P
-
3549
That would kinda go against their policy wouldn't it?
-
3549
Which is why we should give our full support to the European Union ;)
-
3551
That would kinda go against their policy wouldn't it?
Not as long as they stay neutral, I guess. I mean, if they were economic superpowers, they would rule the world :D
-
3552
If Iceland and Switzerland were superpowers they would in no way be peaceful though :P
-
3553
Iceland? With no army? They would not exist any more then :P
-
3554
Katla will have an eruption should Iceland get invaded. Or all the other volcanoes at the same time. :P
-
3555
That explains their lacking army :P
-
3555
Why would anybody want that molten slagheap? ;) :lol: They literally have nothing but lots of debt and hot water :lol:
That having been said, I believe China is currently building a military base complete with barracks for several thousand Chinese marines, and a port capable of handling a carrier strike force, and an airbase capable of handling transport planes and fighters luxury vacation complex complete with hotels for several thousand Chinese tourists, and a port capable of handling the biggest cruise vessels, and an international airport to fly tourist directly from China :lol:
-
3556
China tends to build ghost towns a lot now :P
-
3557
I just read a book on how the world will look like in 2050. By 2050, over half the worlds population will be african, with roughly 5 billion people living there. The biggest african countries in terms of population would be Nigeria and Tanzania, with roughly half a billion people each :o
-
3558
Not sure whether I believe it, not sure Africa would be able to sustain such a population even though it is getting better down there.
-
3559
The majority of the population certainly wouldnt be very healthy, that much is certain. But if properly utilised, africa could feed a lot more people than you might believe. It would come at a great cost towards wildlife though. No lions in 2050 :(
Before the blacks took over, Rhodesia was capable of feeding half of africa ;)
-
3560
Half a billion in Tanzania? But how can it grow with 450 million people in just 35 years? :P
EDIT: I just checked Wikipedia a bit, forecasts for 2050 say that Africa will have 25% of the population, rather than 50%.
-
3562
It's exponential growth. And with all those kids in Africa right now, that will be fertile in a few years, expect to see a baby boom!
-
3562
Its not really that hard to imagine. 50 million people today. I each family gets 3 children thats 75 million additional. If they then get 3 each, 112.5 million. That makes 168.75 million children from the following generation. Thats around 400 million just there, in about 45 years.
The average age for a woman becoming pregnant in Tanzania is rather lower than the rest of the world, around 15-20 years of age. And they have more babies too. 3 babies per couple is probably slightly conservative too.
Tanzania has a very young population. As of 2012, 45% of the population was below 15 years of age. Over half the population is under 17. Thats really quite incredible.
-
3563
I am very aware of the potential, however I am also very aware of the political situation, which unfortunately in my opinion shows that it might be very difficult to sustain such a huge amount of people.
There will be an international boom in population no doubt, what these new peoples living standards will be is a whole other question and someting I think should be taken into account. Most people in Africa today has a living standard that clearly shows that there is a need for imrpovement. Don't get me wrong, there are improvements everyday in Africa, just not in the same pace as you see in the BRICS nations, which is why I am not sure Africa will be able to efficiently sustain a huge population.
-
3564
Africa is mostly underutilised today, even in terms of farmable area. I lived in Tanzania several years, and at least 95% of the country is unpopulated. And the soil is rather fertile. And when it comes to improvements, Nigeria and Tanzania are improving way faster than any BRIC country ever did, not least due to the massive investments by the BRIC countries who actually foresaw the growth of Africa.
-
3565
400 million is just way too much. Tanzania will have a lot of people in 35 years, but fertility rates are falling in pretty much every nation, and I doubt they will reach that high. But most nations are fortunately doing well, and some (like Botswana) are well on their path to a stable country.
-
3566
The fertility rates in Tanzania and Nigeria actually rose slightly from 2011 to 2012, even though the general trend has been a slight reduction ;) One must also remember to take into mind that child deaths have been significantly reduced, while the population hasn't become any wealthier or better educated. Even if they don't reach 400 or 500 million, they are still bound to match or exceed the population of the the United States.
-
3567
Not by 2050 I think. Maybe about 150-200 million at most, maybe more if the health standards improve greatly in Tanzania. :)
-
3569
As long as people don't want western living standards with the use-and-dispose culture, it would be all great
-
3570
That would probably be the end of the resources in the world. Hopefully waste is a problem that is taken more seriously in the future.
-
3571
Well, when the resources get scarce, people would find the resources in the waste
-
3572
There's probably a lot of recyclable materials in the floating garbage patches in the Pacific. :P
-
3573
Pretty sure the majority is plastic, so yeah :)
-
3574
Which is made from oil which is getting more expensive by the year...
-
3574
Plastic is indeed made from oil, but not the part of oil we use for vehicles. It is made from what is left over after all the fuels have been made, and is therefore not really going to be affected in terms of cost in the same way as petrol or diesel.
And the plastic in the oceans had decomposed to what is basically just a plastic sludge, so we can't really get it out of the water in any meaningful amounts.
See this Vice documentary about it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D41rO7mL6zM
-
3575
That depends on what the intention is, if it is to clean the ocean then it would be meaningful :)
-
3576
No, not really. Cleaning out watered down de-graded plastic is going to cost so much that it's unfeasable. And it will possibly pollute the ocean more than you could clean them by having ships steaming steaming around in the area trying to clean it.
-
3578
Sun powered, sail aided ships then? :P
-
3579
Then again removing the plastic and all the other nonsence in the ocean will improve the marine life, and the fish we eat don't contain hazardous materials in them. I think sometimes you need to spend money to make things better really.
-
3579
I'm afraid we are way past the point of being able to do that ourselves. The oceans can take care of themselves in time. We just need to stop polluting the oceans any further.
Quicksilver concentrations are now so high that some experts in Denmark recently proposed a total ban on fishing Tuna, Marlin and other top of the foodchain sea creatures for the next 70 years. We can't remove the quicksilver from the oceans, nor can we remove it from the foodchain.
-
3580
First of all I will never agree that we should not do anything, yes it perhaps would be more harmful at the current time, but as technology progress we may very well have a tool in our hands to do it.
Yes we need to stop polluting the oceans, but if there is a point we are way way beyond, then it is the point of us passively looking while Mother Earth cleans up after us. Just by stopping the pollution does contrary to popular belief not end our problems, we have polluted so much that we also need to clean it up.
-
3582
We could just kill half the world's population, that would solve so many things!
-
3582
We can't clean out the oceans, that is an impossibility on the likes of finding a cure for cancer. It won't happen.
The pollutants have been dissolved into all of the oceans on this planet, all the plants in the ocean and all the animals living in the oceans. Cleaning them would require killing all the plants and animals, and cleaning every liter of water in the oceans ;)
Quicksilver and plastic is dissolved into the oceans. The plants absorb it. The shrimp and krill eat the plants containing the pollutants. Then bigger fish eat lots of shrimp and krill containing pollutants. Then the bigger fish die, drop to the bottom where plants absorb them......
Gradually the pollutants will drop to the bottom in deep areas with no life, and become harmless sediment. This will take some 70 years at present.
-
3583
I completely disagree with you, I think it is likely that we find a cure to cancer. Our understanding in gene mutations (which cancer is), so I do believe we will find a cure.
However it seems like there is more or less none that agrees, so why don't we change the subject? :)
So Delta just cancelled their 787 orders in favor of the A350, will we see more carriers changing from the, let's say "challenged", 787 to the A350?
-
3584
Delta did not cancel the 787 order (yet). They ordered 25 A350-900 and 25 A330-900, and it is rather the A330-900s that challenged the 787. The A330-900 will replace the oldest 767-300 in the Delta fleet. The A350 is a class above the 787, and will replace the older 777s, the 747s and the 767-400s.
Delta has 95 767s of all variants that need replacement, as well as 8 777-200ER and 13 747-400 and 18 757-200 that are used on medium haul routes. 16 767-300As will be replaced by A321s and 737-900ERs. That leaves 118 planes to replace. They will receive the 50 planes from this order, plus 10 A330-300 from a previous order, leaving another 58 to replace. They will need the 787-8s or more A330NEOs, and I believe the 787-8s are already paid for. The 787-8 is also smaller than the A330-900, making it more suitable to replace the 757-200s.
-
3586
Do you think SAS will survive the next five years without big cuts or sale of parts of the airline?
-
3586
SAS won't survive the next 5 years regardless of how many cuts or spin-offs they make, and if they do, they will be reduced to a hollow shell with JetTime taking over all the european flying on contract from SAS. JetTime is pushing hard to take over more flying from SAS, and the new CEO for SAS Denmark is closely connected to JetTime, so it is certainly pointing in that direction. Blue1 will be shut down within 2 years, and JetTime Finland will take over with it's 737s and ATRs flying under the SAS brand.
-
3587
I thought SAS was starting to make a profit again? I recall reading an article saying it had earned some millions in some financial quarter.
-
3589
Yeah, but they have to differentiate themselves from the competition. Basically, they have two options: they offer low prices and bad service, or not so low prices and good service. Instead of following the low-cost airlines, they should stand up and make themselves clear that they're better. They already kinda do that while saying you get one bag free, but removing free drinks? That was stupid.
-
3589
SAS did indeed make a profit last year, but that was more due to the divestment of various assets. They sold a ton of old 737 classics, Dash-8 Q400s, MD-80s and leased out the MD-90s to Delta. They also got rid of a few thousand employees, including around 300 old pilots who had an average salary of 180.000 dkk a month. The deal with those was that they would receive full pension (100.000 dkk a month for the rest of their lives) as compensation.
The problems with SAS today are not so simple that they just have to differentiate themselves. Competing directly with the LCC's is foolish, but they have to compete with them on ticket prices too, so offering a low cost option makes excellent sense. They just need to separate the economy cabin in 2, with normal economy and economy-light. I believe they have just introduced this.
They also need to become more consistent. Every 6 months they decide to change the strategy to or from the low-cost scheme of charging for everything. It is ridiculous, and the frequent flyers are pretty p*ssed about it.
They have a strong bias towards Copenhagen and Stockholm, while not offering very much for the rest of the country. They have almost no routes from Jutland. This means that people from Jutland and Funnen have to drive/ride/fly to Copenhagen, before connecting to another SAS flight to the destination. KLM and Lufthansa also offer 1-stop connections from Billund and Ålborg, often at lower prices and to more destinations. From Funnen I could drive to Hamburg airport in the same time I could drive to Copenhagen airport. And Hamburg offers better and cheaper parking (including an excellent and very cheap valet parking service where you drop off and pick up the car right by the terminal), and flights are cheaper too. And I won't have to pay the stupid bridge toll. Thats half the population of Denmark that is cut off from using SAS right there. It's the same in Sweden.
There is the horrible fleet utilization. Who on earth got the idea of operating the CRJ-900 between Copenhagen and London-Heathrow during rush hour?!?! Why do they feel a need to operate 2 flights on a 737/A320 between Copenhagen and Stockholm only 30 minutes apart? Upgrade to an A330 then!
And the strange fleet? Standardizing on 737NG and A320NEO for most of the airline, and then equipping the Finnish subsidiary with completely non-standard 717s :o
Finally they need to stop cutting their way out of the recession. They tried that for the last 10 years without success. Time to try investing in more routes and a better product.
-
3591
They also need to become more consistent
I agree... Maybe they're afraid?
Time to try investing in more routes and a better product
Money, money, money. Where do you think they'll find the money needed? Who would want to make such a risky investment?
-
3592
They will probably end up asking the governments again :D
And I am sorry, yes so far they have only postponed the 787 to 2020-22, but they may very well try and get rid of them. It seems more and more as they are streamlining their long haul fleet to only consist of Airbus'.
-
3592
They are streamlining their long haul fleet to make most economic sense, not to a particular manufacturer. Airlines today are ordering a greater variety of planes that suit their needs more specifically, whereas in the past they would order 1 or 2 types and use them with slightly less efficiency.
Take a look at the British Airways fleet. 5 years ago they operated the 767-300, 777-200 and 747-400. In 5 years they will have a fleet of 787-8, 787-9, 787-10, 777-200, 777-300ER, 747-400, A350-1000 and A380-800. Eventually the 747-400 and 777-200 will leave, but it confirms that they are looking for planes that suit particular routes a lot more than 10 years ago.
American Airlines will go from a fleet of 777-200 and 767-300 to a fleet of 767-300, 777-200, 777-300ER, 787-8, 787-9, A330-200, A330-300 and A350-900.
I am not certain that Delta will keep it's order of 787-8s either, but they need to replace 58 767-300ER, and the 787-8 is a much closer match than the A330-900, which is only slightly smaller than a 777. Some routes can sustain a bigger plane, but some certainly can't, and the 757-200 routes probably won't. Furthermore, they ordered the 787s at a time when 787s were far cheaper than today, so they are actually a really great bargain.
-
3594
That will make for awesome fleet pages in their in-flight magazines :D
-
3595
I love those pages, but I haven't flown SAS in 5 years and Norwegian's fleet page is the most boring ever. :P
-
3595
Don't worry. From the cabin all airliners look alike. The cockpit is what it's all about.
-
3597
Cabins differ, just like cockpits, just more subtly
-
3598
Delta is replacing their 757's with 737-900ER's and A321's. And the fact that they are getting larger aircrafts may very well be in response to the projected growth of the industry, more passengers = larger planes as the airports only have so many slots.
And don't pretend like streamlining to one manufacturer is not a legit thing ;)
Many airlines tend to go that way to cut training expenses.
-
3599
Good thing there's only a handful manufacturers, imagine if the market was shared by dozens?
-
3599
Delta has 142 757s and 16 767-300As that are to be replaced, but only orders for 45 A321s and 70 737-900ERs, in other words a further 43 need raplacement. They also have 117 MD-80s that need replacement.
As for the streamlining of fleets to one type, or the training expenses thing, that was before fuel costs increased by 350%. Fuel savings and optimizations by now far outweigh training expenses. The training issue was really only marketing. Cockpits were indeed familiar, but you still need the complete typerating when going from one type to another, neglecting the savings. The maintenance and spare parts costs have been drastically reduced since the engine manufacturers began offering power-by-the-hour deals, everything except plane and fuel included. Streamlining of fleets is a thing of the past for airlines of this size.
Airlines are indeed upsizing from smaller planes to bigger ones, but so far no airlines have decided to replace a plane with one that seats twice as many passengers. And keep in mind, it is afterall Delta who chose to replace it's 747-400s with A350-900s, thereby actually downsizing ;)
-
3600
You seem to forget I said it was a reason, not the reason ;)
Also the 757 and 767 will be replaced by the 787 on the routes where it pays, which is only a few compared to the full amount of 757 flights.
-
3602
So in general airlines will use larger planes if there's demand for it, and smaller if there isn't. :P
-
3603
Yep, and SAS will still struggle :)
-
3604
But with new planes! :P
-
3605
Mighty A350 :D
-
3606
I'm exited to see their new cabin! Have they actually revealed it, or have I missed it? :D
-
3507
no idea
-
3508
The plane seems to have a Twitter (https://twitter.com/SAS_Viking) account. :P
-

How cute! :D
PS. I fixed your link :P
-
3510
Planes these days, they can even use social media! :P
-
3611
How many planes do that? Or is it only this one?
-
3612
SAS Viking is the only one I'm aware of, but there's probably more.
-
3613
Meh, it will never fly, the flight attendants or pilots will strike :D
-
3614
Eh, don't be so negative :P
-
3615
You're right, it seems like the strike fever has moved onto another Star Alliance member, Lufthansa.
-
3616
Lufthansa is always on strike. :P
-
3617
Such a shame :(
-
3618
The 11th time just this year. :P
-
3619
Pff, that is nothing :D
-
3620
Even more than the French though :P
-
3621
Sad statistic, I like the legacy carriers :(
-
3622
Thing is, as far as I know, low-cost pilots aren't organized, so they can't really strike...
-
3623
They are to an extent, but not all are within the same union.
But I am talking about Norwegian, I bet Ryanair is not unionized, Norwegian probably only is for the Scandinavian crew.
-
3624
I don't think Ireland has unions, didn't Norwegian move to Ireland to escape things like this?
-
3625
Think they tried, but the unions prevented it I believe.
-
3626
Did some research, and apparently Norwegian started a subsidiary in Ireland for their long-haul operations.
-
3627
That's a long time ago. I know a pilot in Widerøe, he says Norwegian treats their pilots horribly
-
3628
Doesn't all low cost carriers do that? Guess it is a part of saving money where ever you can :/
-
3628
That's the problem with cheap travel, somebody has to pay...
-
3630
You missed one ;)
-
3631
That's no good, no airline should treat their pilots badly :(
-
3632
One word, capitalism
-
3632
Well, it's like this: If one airline decides to go the low-cost way, other airlines have to follow in order to still have passengers
-
3633
Not necessarily, if you have a famous brand known for service then you don't have to do much to keep up with the LCC. Like say Singapore Airlines.
-
3634
A bit like Air France? Ohh, wait. They are moving all their domestic flights to HOP!
-
3635
HOP? I haven't been too updated on aviation lately, what is it?
-
3636
Air France's low cost airline :)
-
3637
They have their own now? Maybe France can have two large French airlines now :P
-
3639
If they are transferring domestic flights to another brand, they lose the current strong brand they have. Who knows HOP? Nobody, but who knows Air France? Everybody!
-
If you fly Air France flights regular you know HOP! (The name is HOP! I am not shouting :) )
It started as a merger of all their regional airlines
-
3641
But is the flight operated by HOP but under the name of Air France, or is it with different aircraft, different service, etc.?
-
HOP! is an airline like KLM Cityhopper is one. They got their own aircrafts and own livery, though I am not sure if all their flights is flown as HOP! or Air France. Could imagine it is flown as a Air France on some of the major routes, but as HOP! on the routes previously operated by the regional carriers as Brit Air.
-
3643
But BritAir had the Air France livery with the 'operated by ...' decal. Just like most regional carriers in the US do for the big airlines.
-
3643
Key word in that sentence is had.
It is a bit the same with HOP! however it is HOP! operated for Air France
(http://aerosociety.com/assets/images/wordpress/aerospace-insight/files/2013/04/CRJ-Hop.jpg)
-
3645
there goes that brand identity... :P
-
3646
I think KLM Cityhopper is a great name for a regional airline, because it keeps the KLM brand and is kinda unique. But HOP! is really lame, and doesn't help Air France's brand that much. :P
-
3647
I imagine it was thought to be a modernisation :)
-
3648
Well, I just read some news that SAS will give free tickets in 2018 in exchange for passengers viewing ads. "We don't want to compete agains Norwegian with the price" they say. Well, not when the price is 0 anyway :P
-
3648
I am as of today, officially, a commercial pilot 8)
-
3649
Congratulations!
-
3651
Congratulations! :D Do you have any job offers yet? Or will you continue training?
-
3652
Congrats VS! :D
-
3652
Still some more training to do. Current license only allows single pilot, single engine VFR commercial flights within 50 nm of the airport, so I still need an IFR, twin engine multi-crew rating.
-
3654
Well, that's quite a restrictive licence :P
-
3654
Thats just the basic CPL license. You add all the ratings on top of the CPL. IR is slightly tougher than the rest, with a rather comprehensive flying exam for the CAA. MCC and twin are rather simple, without any exams. Same for EFIS-rating. Jet rating will come with the typerating.
-
3656
So what typerating can the school give? B737 or A320?
-
3656
Neither, they don't do typeratings. Most schools don't. Typeratings are very specific for some airlines. SAS won't hire pilots with a prior typerating, but they give a free typerating, albeit with dismal wages afterwards. Ryanair charges 214.000 kr for a 737NG typerating, but guarantees you a well paid job afterwords. Norwegian seems to accept most ratings. And most asian and african carriers don't really seem to care where you get it. They just need as many pilots as possible. Apparently wages in China are rising fast towards the 100.000 kr mark (per month), so the cost of the typerating is rather irrelevant.
-
3657
But the MCC (MultiCrewCooperation) course is done on a 737NG sim.
-
3659
A 737 then. Have you tried it yet?
-
3660
Are you flying for an airline yet? :D
-
3660
FIRST!!!!!!!
-
3662
Happy 2015 :)
-
3663
Happy belated new year! :D
-
3664
May it bring less missing airplanes
-
3665
Do you ever think MH370 will be found? :P
-
3665
Yes, of course. Just a question of how many years.
-
3667
Maybe when we go to Mars we'll find it there?
-
3668
Possibly, but it's probably at the bottom of the ocean somewhere. :P
-
3669
The ocean is the least explored pert of earth, we don't know what exactly is down there...
-
3670
The ocean is probably the least explored part of the Solar System :P
-
3671
Don't forget Pluto ;)
-
3672
Oh yeah, I always forget Pluto, it's not even a planet anymore :P
-
3673
It's a dwarf planet
-
3674
But not a planet planet :P
-
3675
It's a planet, all right, but not a big one :D
-
3676
I feel sorry for Pluto though. Downgraded to a dwarf planet.
-
3677
what about Charon, it never got upgraded
-
3678
Scientists are such planet haters! :(
-
3679
I know, right? Who are they to decide who is a planet or not? :P
-
3680
Maybe it should be by popular vote!
-
3681
Let's make a petition or a Kickstarter for it! :D
-
3682
Who would get the money? :P
-
3683
NASA as bribe :D
-
3683
Those ignorant capitalist pigdog hipster scientists just wanted to take away the honor from glorious leader Kim Il Sung who personally discovered Pluto in 1953 when he went for a flight of the universe on a unicorn. This is a historically proven fact - the wrong Korean puppets from the south, and their american masters subsequently gave up their futile struggle against peace loving Democratic Korea, fearing that the unstoppable space unicorn would be weaponized, in order to aid the opressed people of the USA take up arms against the oppresive government of Washington!
-
3684
Oh. Does that mean Pluto can become a planet again? :D
-
3685
No. That means Pluto IS a planet. It is only hipster wannabe celebrity "scientists" who don't believe in pluto. They probably don't believe in the tea pot that is currently orbiting the sun somewhere between Jupiter and Mars either. I say we let them prove it isn't there before we claim it isn't.
-
3687
Let's celebrate! :D Pluto is a planet! :lol:
-
3688
Pluto is a chunk of rock in space
-
3688
Nonsense. It's made from mars bars. And the people of pluto feel very offended by your remark that it's just a chunk drifting about in space.
-
3690
What's Earth made of? Skittles? :D
-
3691
No, Mars is made from bars. Pluto is made from dogs - yellow dogs, to be exact. Earth? Well, earth :P
-
3691
Duh! Earth is made by god. From earth. Inside and out. But pluto is made from mars bars. And inhabited by yellow dogs. Offended yellow dogs.
By the way, Mars is made from bounty bars. Moon is made from american imitation cheese, and uranus is made from liquified farts.
-
3693
Do you have pseudo-scientific proof of your postulations?
-
3693
Yes, see the before-mentioned example of the teapot that is currently orbiting the sun somewhere between mars and jupiter.
-
3695
Thing is... I can't see it ;)
-
3696
Is the asteroid belt just those tea-things in tea bags? :P
-
3696
Thing is... I can't see it ;)
Well thats your problem then. I say it's there, you go prove it isn't ;) Of course, it is really rather small, so you will have to build a starship to get closer to it, but thats really not to ask for.
Anyway, yes Norge, you are right. The rings of Jupiter are the same colour as discarded tea bags, and that is indeed what they are. Old, soggy teabags drifting about in the great roundabout known as the Jupiter Intersection. It is believed that an alien trashship was picking up old teabags from earth to take them to the recycling plant in the next star system, when it suffered an accident in that particular roundabout, spilling them all over the place. The driver of course, just took off.
-
3698
Well, let me tell you. There is a second sun behind the sun in the Earth orbit, but we can't see it because the sun is blocking it. But you can't see it. At all.
-
3698
Thats a really interesting observation Matias, and I just confirmed it by looking out of my window myself! There is indeed a second sun orbiting the first one, on that same track as the planet known as earth, just on the completely opposite side! Great find!
-
3700
But if we can't see it, then how could you confirm its existence?
-
3701
I ask myself the exact same question
-
3701
Because I know. I just do. A big voice from outer space told me. You must now prove me wrong by going there and showing me that there is no teapot. ;)
-
3703
Oh, but a big voice from the centre of the Earth told me there is no such thing as space teapots!
-
3703
The voice from outer space told me that the voice from the ground is an imposter. You must not believe him, or you will go to hell when you die. Actually, hell is in the ground, so he is actually the devil. Anyway, my voice in the sky declares war on the voice in the ground for offending the voice in the sky.
-
3705
What makes you think the voice from the sky tells the truth? The voice in my head says he doesn't
-
3705
Well the voice in my head told me to write it down on a piece of sacred toilet paper, that he was the only true voice. Furthermore, none shall depict my voice in drawings or pictures of any kind. Therefore, my voice is more correct than your voice :P
-
3707
We'll have to hear Norge on this...
-
3707
Hello, I am Norway! I sprachen Norgisch. See, it is me! I sink Virgin Srpska is correct about 'is voice.
-
3709
I'm a mod and can see through your veil of distractions! Muahahaha
-
3709
Verdammt! But you can't fly an NDB DME approach ;)
-
3711
Why would I? I can see through clouds!
-
3711
Well if its night, and the runway lights are off, then what will you do?
-
3713
Use my flashlight to illuminate the runway, of course :D
-
3714
You could ask the almighty Mars bars from Pluto to illuminate your destiny
-
3715
Illuminate my destiny!
-
3716
Did it work? Did you miss the runway? Did you die?
-
3716
They only respond to true believers. And Mathias is a doubter.
-
3718
I, on the behalf of the Kingdom of Norway, will devote the nation on sacrificing for the Holy Mars Bars from Pluto.
-
3718
You may now abolish all NDB DME approaches.
-
3720
And that's how all flights in and out of Norway are now flown only by Norwegians (and VS)
-
3720
Well there's hardly anything new in that, is there? Protectionist Norwegians ;)
-
3722
*cough* Norwegian Airlines
-
3722
Norway, the country that won't share it's oil and fish with the rest of the world, and refuses to buy danish butter and cheese.
-
3724
It's not like we gave them the oilfields or anything. No. Not at all.
-
3725
I mean, when we offer our oil to other nations they 'decline'. Sweden, we want your auto industry, not oil! :P
-
3726
We would never do that! :O
-
3726
We would love to trade our oil industry and car industry for that of Sweden and Norways.
-
3728
What indu... Ooooooohhhh, yeah, we would love to!
-
3729
Yep, I am still alive ;)
-
3730
Count, count, count :P
-
3731
Counting hurts :(
-
3731
It lives!
-
3733
We need more people counting!
-
3734
ooh
-
3735
Exactly!
-
3736
We've progressed decently lately though! In a year we've counted about 600 :D
-
3737
Only :(
-
3738
No problem, we'll reach it. Eventually. :D
-
3739
in ten years
-
10 000
Or today. :D
-
3741
That's cheating! :P
-
3742
Nah, just consider it a trial. :D
-
3743
You got it now, so you won't get it later!
-
3743
I did that trick first, just saying. ;)
-
3745
You won't get to say 10000 either then :P
-
3746
We'll all be dead by the time we are even near 10 000 anyway :P
-
3747
No, come on, other people will take over in 100 years :D
-
3748
Too bad we need them now :P
-
3748
Nonsense. We have all the time in the world. Just like flying an NDB DME approach with an 11 nm long racetrack.
-
3750
Depends on how fast you go ;)
-
And how the wind blows.
3750
-
3752
-
3752
-
3754

3755
-
3757
-
3757
You're counting too fast! :D
-
3758
Sorry, I'm used to VS counting too slow :P
-
3759
You need to learn the difference between me and VS! I've got a disco-man in my signature, while VS still has leet-speak. :D
-
3760
And I am just used to it :P
-
3761
Not surprising :P
-
3762
Life is full of surprises, just like today
-
3762
-
3764 :)
-
3764
-
3765
I have a clone :D
-
3766
-
3767
-
3768
-
3769
-
3771
Don't count too slow :P
-
3771
I am done with single engined planes. Now I have just 11 flights left on the twin 8)
-
3773
What are you flying now? :D
-
3773
I will start flying the Piper Seneca in 1-2 weeks time. 8)
-
3775
That's the one that's shaped like a box, right? :P
-
3776
No, that's the Shorts 330 :P
-
3776
Nope. But the wings are rectangular.
-
3778

3789
-
3790
-
3791
When will we make it to 4000?
-
3792
I don't know, let's make a guess! I think we'll surpass 4000 sometime around summer solstice. :D
-
3793
I'd say around mid-July :D
-
3794
That's probably more realistic :P
-
3795
When hell freezes over?
-
3796
Also known as never? :P
-
3797
No, that's when pigs fly :P
-
3798
They don't already? :P
-
3799
Not on their own ;)
-
3800
Next idea for a Kickstarter, self-flying pigs! :D
-
3801
That's dangerous! :P
-
3802
But that would be so cool though! :D
-
3803
Imagine all the bacon flying into other bacon :O
-
3804
And when they fall to the ground after impact they will become extra crispy and juicy :P
-
3805
Just put on a grill and wait, the new trend this summer :D
-
3806
Need to buy a bigger grill then :P
-
3807
And a looooot of coal! Or, you could use all the natural gas you have, you won't need it for your electric car anyway :P
-
3808
Great idea! We never use that stuff anyway.:D
-
3809
Yeah, burn it instead of selling, much better :D
-
3810
So we go bankrupt, but we can get free bacon? I'm in for that. :D
-
3811
And don't forget, you can sell the bacon :D
-
3812
Sell it? I'll probably eat all the bacon myself :P
-
3812
I just can't wait to experience my first pig strike. It's always a pain in the *** when I need to go tell the chief pilot that I just wrecked an engine following a hit with one of those buggers. Anyway, pop the pirelli's, I'm off to bed.
-
3814
Just wait to tell the passengers why the cabin smells of bacon :P
-
3814
Don't worry about that, if we can achieve flying pigs through crowdsourcing we can make airplanes run on pigs :P
-
3815
No we can't. I'm pretty sure about that. Besides, they taste better as bacon. Trust me, I'm a pilot 8)
On the plus side, muslim terrorists won't get anywhere near airplanes anymore.
-
3817
Why not? I mean, make pig fuel out of the pig-fat people don't eat anyway!
-
3818
But what happens when there is a shortage of pigs?
-
3919
Clones, clones everywhere
-
3819
We must strive to set up OPIG, Organisation of Pig Importing Groups, in order to create an efficient competitor to OPEC.
-
3820
Yes! And instead of bathing in oil, we Norwegians can bathe in bacon instead! :D
-
3821
Why not liquid pig fat?
-
3822
Nah, we can give that to the Icelanders or something :P
-
3824
They have sea pig fat ;)
-
3825
Sea pig? What's that? :P
-
3826
We call them Marsvin in Denmark, sorta like dolphins
-
3827
I thought this was a marsvin?
(http://www.dbbh.no/images/stories/diverse/marsvin.jpg)
-
3828
Well, those also :P
-
3829
But how does the other marsvin look like then? :P
-
3830
Like small dolphins:
http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsvin_(hval)
-
3831
Oh, those. I believe it's called a porpoise or something in English. :P
-
3832
Weird name :P almost like a tortoise
-
3833
Doesn't look like one though :P
-
3834
Both live in water ;)
-
3835
But wasn't it turtles that lived in water, and tortoise on land? :P
-
3836
I have no idea. Sounds plausible
-
3837
A quick Google says that at least ????
-
3838
Google always has the last word
-
3839
Google probably knows more about me than I do about myself :P
-
3840
Depends on how famous you are ;)
-
3841
How can I measure famousness? :)
-
3842
Ask google how famous you are :P
-
3843
If you got a wiki page you are famous.
-
3844
But since anyone can make a Wiki page, that means that I can have my 15 minutes of fame then? :D
-
3845
I doubt they'll let your page stay if you just make it like that :P
-
3846
Exactly what I meant with 15 minutes of fame :P
-
3847
But that's the boring version, nobody will ever know it happened!
-
3848
But that was the only requirement to fame you mentioned! :P
-
3849
I didn't mention it! :P
-
3850
Was it Zach that mentioned it? :P
-
3851
I think so.
Btw, happy Norway day :D
-
3852
Hurray for Norway! :D

Coding, maybe? :P

3858
I wish it could be just a hobby. 2 hour exam on 1st June. :roll:
-
3859
You don't like it?
I had programming (java) in high school, two hours a week. The exam was so easy, just sound like you know something and you're all set :P

3860
The teaching wasn't that intuitive. Every time my lecturer taught us new concepts, he always put something else new in the example. It just made understand what he was teaching harder.
-
3861
Is coding as tedious as it seems? :P
-
3862
I didn't get much of a feel of it, but if you're making something more complicated, you can have big problems and so on. Even in my 100-line program (very small), I reached some very annoying gridlocks...
On the other hand, getting cool ideas and things to do is very fun!
-
3863
What program did you make? :D
-
3863

3864
I wrote a code breaking programme last year for my coursework. It replaced an alphabet with another alphabet to decipher a message set by my lecturer. I spent tons of time de-bugging it.

Invite your friends :D

3825
I'm done! I'm officially a commercial pilot with instrument and multi-engine ratings. Currently doing a multi crew course. I hate the 737 - the yoke sucks. You only ever use 1 hand to fly it anyway, might as well not have half of it anyway. And it's heavy, awkward, stupid and much better if replaced with a simple non-force-feedback sidestick.
-
3876
Wow, congratulations!
I preferred the A320 anyway :P
-
3877
Just be glad that you are a pilot ;)
-
3878
Who will you get to fly with, VS?
-
3879
Congrats, VS.
I would prefer Boeing's yoke than Airbus' sidestick as a passenger. I understand the sidestick was designed to minimise fatigue, but I just can't trust my life on one person's one hand.
-
3879
I would prefer Boeing's yoke than Airbus' sidestick as a passenger. I understand the sidestick was designed to minimise fatigue, but I just can't trust my life on one person's one hand.
All pilots fly using one hand on the yoke only. One hand on the yoke/stick, and one hand on the throttle, regardless of the aircraft. This has been beaten into every single pilot from the very first flight we took ;). In other words, half the yoke on a Boeing, Cessna, Piper, Embraer, Tupolev etc. is purely for cosmetic purposes, and has never been used.
Who will you get to fly with, VS?
I'm hoping for a major Irish airline actually. I am willing to take most offers in the beginning however.
-
3881
"Most" so not that other, big Irish airline? They fly 737s exclusively ;)

In other words, half the yoke on a Boeing, Cessna, Piper, Embraer, Tupolev etc. is purely for cosmetic purposes, and has never been used.
Yes, but there is feedback on Boeing's yokes, while there isn't on Airbus' sidesticks.
-
3882
Vastly overrated, and force feedback can be integrated into a sidestick as well.
Airbus has significantly better systems, both safety and handling wise. The 737 is a 1960'era design that has been updated with a patchwork of updates, and is really rather basic. The 737 lacks a great deal of basic safety systems, and still suffers from a number of dangerous flaws. Boeing has only really caught up with the 787. From a pilots view, the age of the 737 really shows. The 737 is still very much a hands-on aircraft, and that is not necessarily a good thing when flying IFR at 30.000 ft and passing through turbulent conditions.
One example of the 737 being inferior to the A320 is when performing a go-around. In the A320 you press the "Take-off/Go-around" button, the aircraft applies max thrust and retracts gear, flaps on schedule and speedbrakes on it's own, and flies the entire missed approach procedure by itself unless the crew interferes. The 737 gives you take-off power and initial missed approach only. In severe cases, 737s have crashed because the speedbrakes weren't retracted. Why hasn't it been solved? Boeing avoided a massive lawsuit against it in the 80s and 90s, involving the lack of this function. Fitting the function today would be akin to admitting the fault, and facing new lawsuits. It would have been avoided had they done a clean sheet replacement of the 737, rather than the 737MAX.
The A320 is far more intuitive to fly. Any pilot can learn how to fly an A320 within a single day, it is that easy to fly. The downside being that the systems are a bit complex. Should a single minor system fail enroute, a reset may cause the system to not restart properly when the aircraft has landed and is being prepared for departure. In that case, you need to get a mechanic on the phone to solve the issue. It's minor maintenance issues, not any that affect flight safety.

I wasn't trying to get into a Boeing vs Airbus debate here. It sounds to me as though a "Automatic vs Manual" argument. Both options has advantages and disadvantages of their own. I personally would prefer controls with feedback, even if there are more "hassles" for it. And I appreciate it's your preference to have easy controls.
-
3885
The worry most people might have with a computerized aircraft is that if the systems fail, you have now way to fly the plane. But with so many redundancies, it'll not happen
-
3885
All Boeings made today except the 737 have completely artificial feel, meaning that it is the computer that decides how much feedback the pilot feels (or doesn't feel).
-
3886
So we can all conclude that the MD11 is by far the best aircraft ever made. 8)
-
3887
It most certainly is. 8) :-*
-
3889
*cough* L-1011
-
3889
I really don't get it. Why do some people find the Tristar nice? Ugly nose, hideous S-duct, short stubby fuselage, strange tail and so on. Just a weird aircraft. And incredibly, the 757 is beginning to receive the same admiration today, despite the fact that it is equally weird looking 8) :lol: ;)
-
3890
I freaking love the 757! :-* :-* :-*
I don't see how anyone can find it ugly, it is beautiful :)
-
3891
It sits on stilts, the wings are tiny, the front fuselage is a different diameter from the rear fuselage and the nose looks like an anteater. And the engines look old fashioned. ;) 8)
-
3893
If we talk about looks, then it's undoubtedly the 747. Always.
-
3893
Negative. Only the short humped versions look normal. The long-humped versions are not nice. And the -400 has not nice winglets and engines too.
-
3895
The short hump looks weird and .. well ... short. The winglets are not bad either :D
-
3896
The 727 looks nice as well. #BringBackEnginesOnTails
-
3897
Yes! Engines on tails!
-
3898
I like how the L-1011's nose looks like a dolphin's. Tristars certainly looked better than the DC-10.
As for the MD-11, it is just a failure. Worse than expected fuel burn translated to airlines cancelling orders. Safety wise, it rolled over during landing 3 times.
For me, the best looking sub-sonic airliner is definitely the 747-400 with RB211s. The features VS hates are exactly what I like. :P
Why do I say sub-sonic? Because the best looking airliner will always be Concorde!
-
3899
VS is just being mr. Negative :D Looking apart from the L-1011, I love all the aircrafts that has been mentioned, and I can't see why anyone cannot like the Mighty Dog? It looks mean as hell >:(
-
3900
Have any of you seen the Tupolev 144? That looks very cool, just alongside the Concorde - except when the canards are extended, of course.
-
3900!!!!!
I like how the L-1011's nose looks like a dolphin's. Tristars certainly looked better than the DC-10.
It looks like a porpoise. The Fokker 27 looks like a dolphin though :-* RR Darts FTW!
As for the MD-11, it is just a failure. Worse than expected fuel burn translated to airlines cancelling orders.
It wasn't quite that bad. 200 sold over 12 years, as opposed to 246 A340-300s and A340-200 sold over 20 years. The A340-300 itself (the direct competitor to the MD-11) sold only 218. When the MD-11 production ended, Airbus had only delivered 160 or so. Assuming the A340NG family didn't come out, I doubt the A340 would have surpassed 200 orders. Once the engine no.2 issue was solved, the fuel burn was on par with it's competitors, the A340-300 and 777-200. So it really isn't as bad as some would think.
-
3901
The Tupolev 144 is quite nice! Much better than the atrocity of the Tupolev 204. :P
-
3902
The Tu-204 is certainly "interesting". Looks nicer than the 757 though ;)
-
3904
The 204 definitely looks nicer than the 757
-
3905
I'll have to disagree on that :P
-
3905
I'll have to agree on that :P
And I agree with you :-*
-
3907
The 757 looks like it was meant to be a widebody, but they just decided to shrink the diameter. Just that :P
-
3907
Indeed, a freak indeed! :P
-
3909
Long, thin narrowbodies are kinda ugly
-
3909
IMHO, the A330-300 nails it just perfectly with the balance between fuselage length and width.
-
3911
Yeah, and also the 340-300. The A310 looks stubby on the other hand
-
3911
Yes, but the A340-300 has those teeny-tiny engines. The A310 might not be nice, but it has lots of character, just like the 747SP. How can you not love stubby planes? :-*
-
3913
Stubby planes are not bad, they're just disproportionate. Especially if their wingspan is longer than the aircraft itself
-
3914
Disproportionate, sure, but they certainly have their own charm :)
-
3915
Some, yes, but most don't
-
3915
True.
Good:
- 747SP
- 737-500
- 737-100/200
- 737-600
- A318
Bad:
- CRJ-100/200
- Dash-8 Q100/200
-
3917
I mostly agree with your list :lol:
-
3918
-
3919
Welcome back :D
-
3918
3920. I like the time stamp of your post!
-
3921
because of the 00:47:57?
-
3921
I think it's a reference to the year 1247, the year Robin Hood died.
-
3923
Maybe just year 47?
-
3924
-
3925
Do you think we can kickstart this and reach 10000?
-
3926
Sure.
-
3927
Haha, not with that delay ;)
-
3928
Been busy with schoolwork these days :P.
-
3929
Well, it's summer vacation soon, no?
-
3930
Well, here at my place we don't have summer vacation. Our vacations are usually at the end of the year :P.
-
3931
That's a weird place
-
3932
It's not weird when you are at the equator. :) It's actually summer all year long.
-
3933
I like my seasons, I wouldn't trade them for anything
-
3934
What else could we talk about to keep this thread alive?
-
3935
About the lack of a comparable aircraft to the A321 from Boeing
-
3936
What happened to the 757?
-
3937
Not available after 2006 in the game
-
3938
Isn't there a extra-capacity 737 designed by Boeing to compete with the A321?
-
3939
-
3940
The 737-900, but it's not available until 2007 or so. Besides, there is still a gap up to the 757-300 which had around 280 seats, I think - and also the 757-200 with 240 seats
-
3941
Which is better? Boeing Stratocruiser or Douglas DC-8?
-
3942
DC-8, it's a jet ;) But of the first jets I would choose the Tupolev 104 and the Boeing 707
-
3943
Perhaps the market nowadays does not offer enough demands for those aircraft sizes, or else Boeing and Airbus are both losing out on a big opportunity.
3940

-
3944
I think there is demand, just look how airlines are still using the 757 to cross the Atlantic, and look how much the A321neo is selling. As far as I understand, there is a market, not as big as the 320-size market, but still a big market
-
3945
Thanks.
-
3946
Boeing and Airbus are losing out on a big opportunity.
-
3947
Well, Airbus is closer than Boeing with their A321neo, Boeing has nothing to offer, really
-
3948
I would have thought that Airbus had retired the A321, and I am glad that they had not done so. Boeing seems to have no plans for another 757.
Any guesses what Airbus and Boeing are going to come up with next?
-
3949
Probably another 787 sized jet.
-
I don't think so.
-
3951
What about the 797? Something was hinted at the Paris airshow, no?
-
3952
Jane's All the World's Aircraft seems to have mentioned that at the Paris Airshow Boeing has announced plans for the 797 that will be a 737 replacement.
-
3953
Hmm, what will Boeing offer then? Maybe the 797 baseline will be bigger than the 737 baseline, allowing for even more stretching?
-
3955
Wonder what A360 will look like.
-
3955
I don't think we'll see a new model from Airbus in some ten years - they just re-engined the A320 family, they have a new widebody just launched and the A380 size aircraft are doing badly
-
3956
I have found some strange stuff on the Internet about Airbus planning to replace its A380 with a model that has similarities to the Antonov Mriya. However, I do agree that Airbus may not be designing new aircraft in the next few years. They need to settle down with their current situation.
-
3957
I still don't know why Airbus doesn't want to re-engine the A380. The first aircraft are ready to be sold on from their first airlines, and there is no viable replacement ready yet!
-
3958
I think they have re-engined the A380, as well as gaving it some aerodynamics upgrades. The A380plus is already out, and it has a totaly new winglet design, too. It is claimed that this new version is even more fuel efficient.
-
3959
The A380plus has the exact same engines as the normal model, as Airbus doesn't think there are enough possible customers for the re-engined version
-
3960
With all this criticism of superjumbos, will aircraft companies ever design and manufacture one again in the future?
-
3961
Superjumbos are an important part of airlines.
-
3962
In a PR sense, yeah, but they are very expensive - they have twice as many engines but not twice the seats. A 777 is much more economic than a 747-400 on the same route
-
3963
Do you think Boeing was right in making the 787? I have read somewhere that some airlines ultimately cancelled their 787 orders for 777's instead because the 777 is better at profit-making.
Also, have you noticed that actually all Boeing aircraft have a special degree of wing flex in them? The 787 wing is only more noticeably pronounced than the others. On the other hand, Airbus wings seem more stiff and reluctant to bend "gracefully" upward. However, if the A350's wings were to be able to flex like the 787's, I don't think I would like it very much. It would make Airbus seem to be a lowly imitator with no imagination or innovation at all.
Where were you this whole week, Matias? :)
-
3964
I think the 787 was the right thing, but maybe starting with the small version pushed sales towards the 777.
I was in a place without the forum ;)
-
3965
Do you think Boeing would make something to replace the 737?
-
3966
At some point they have to, I mean the overall design is about 50 years old! Just look at how much more efficient clean sheet designs are nowadays
-
3967
We're making progress with the counting!
And about the 737 replacement, I'll say so. But when? Airbus and Boeing don't seem to be making plans about it.
-
3968
I think Boeing might release a clean design in five years or so, they just rolled out the MAX. Airbus might cling onto the A320 for a bit longer since it's a newer design that has also just been re-engined.
-
3969
If Airbus is wise enough, they should come up with a new A320-sized product as soon as possible, since Boeing is already pondering the idea and Bombardier's CSeries pose such a threat.
-
3970
But if Airbus does that now, by the time Boeing comes around theirs will be much more efficient. If they come out at the same time they can compete better. No?
-
3971
Guess so.
-
3972
Or they'll have the biggest market share and it would be too late for Boeing?
-
3973
I think in terms of efficiency and technology, the aircraft of today will have less radical improvement than, say, twenty-five years earlier. Aviation technology has progressed so much in the last one hundred years that there is only modest room for much improvement. Therefore, if Airbus and Boeing were to produce a small jet at different times, the terms of competition would be quite fair and equal. The better design, of course would prevail.
However, whoever comes up with a new design first would more likely gain a bigger market share as airlines would be reluctant to switch to the later-introduced model, preferring to stick with the earlier one (if they purchased it).
-
3974
I think the one who comes out with a new design a few years before the other might win, but it also depends on so many other things... It's so hard to say
-
3975
Yes, it's all uncertain for the aviation giants. A great example is Douglas, who was the biggest during the propeller age, but lost out big-time in the jet age.
-
3976
I think both Airbus and Boeing have a long way to go before they're in the risk of failing. There is just too much growth in the airlines right now
-
3977
I do hope so. I have read too much about great aircraft companies that die out due to a sudden, unexpectedly bad design. With the technology of nowadays, however, prospects may have risen.
-
3978
I think it's hard for a big company to make big mistakes nowadays, all the design is on computers, simulated and all.
If anything is going to bring the giants down it's a basic design flaw that grounds thousands of aircraft for weeks or months
-
3979
3978

Well,I think there are major decisions that the companies must make on the designs that may affect the usefulness and attractiveness of the plane. For example, Boeing has completely done away with the engine bleed-air system for cabin pressurization, while the Airbus A350 still retains the bleed-air system. This may produce an outcome in which one proves to be better or preferred by airlines. Of course, this is only a small detail, but another big concern is that since technology is becoming increasingly common, almost any company with enough funds will be able to come up with a design that may compete on a big scale with Boeing and Airbus. An example is the CSeries, and China's COMAC is becoming a major concern.
That's what I think, though :P.
-
3980
I sure hope no other companies will replace he current two biggies.
-
3981
I think maybe it's better to have three or four big players instead of only two
-
3982
Yeah, that's true. Competition always spurs those companies to create better stuff.
-
3983
Just look at the CSeries, it is performing much better than expected!
-
3984
Boeing and Airbus are only managing to compete with the much-more-efficient CSeries by drastically lowering 737 and A320 prices. It seems to be working currently.
-
3985
List prices are inflated anyway
-
3986
Will future aircraft look smoother, or more like the stuff from Star Wars? I say smoother.
-
3987
Smoother is better for airflow and thus also fuel economy.
-
3988
Do you think this forum needs more active members?

Yes, very much! We can all help by posting more in different areas of the forum :)

Thanks

Two fifths of the way there :D
-
4001
Do you have enough airport information now? If not, I'll go search some more.
-
4002
There are still a bunch of countries missing, sadly. No updates for some months now
-
4003
May I just post the airports in the forum thread?
-
4004
What do you mean, the airport statistics? Feel free to, you can make one post with all the numbers to keep down the amount of posts
-
4005
Ok, thanks.
-
4006
Good, more numbers :)
-
4007
-
4008
-
4009
We need to make some chatter.
-
4010
PW3154 is ending soon. Where will you be basing in the next version of the world?
-
4011
Well, I guess Beijing, China. The competition is not as fierce as America.
-
4012
I think I'd like to start a Scandinavian/Northern European airline
-
4013
What are you going to call it?
-
4013
I donn't know, really...
-
4014
Maybe Air Scandinavia? Or does that sound dull? What country are you starting from?
-
Scandia maybe? I'll start in Copenhagen, it has the best position and passenger numbers :) Almost 30 million in 2016!
-
4017
It's also your home city, eh? ;)
-
4018
Yeah, how could you gues, haha
-
4019
Well, you had made your location known in your user profile summary :D
-
4020
Well, that kind of gives it away, haha
The passenger numbers in chine have been updated too, many airports have doubled their passenger numbers the last five years
-
4021
China's aviation industry is seeing quite a growth spurt (which is true really for its other industries as well).
-
4022
China has been known to make inferior quality goods. Wonder if that is the same with their aircraft. Mind you, their drone maker, Dji, is quite good.
-
4023
The ARJ-21 has been accused of using the same tools as the licence produced MD-90s made in china - therefore the resemblance. I would imagine the quality of aircraft would be tightly monitored and regulated today, to ensure the attractiveness of their aircraft. Not like the Shanghai Y-10.....
-
4024
I don't think the Chinese will produce anything of much quality... :/
-
4025
Bad quality aircraft will really land China in some trouble.
-
4026
Bad quality aircraft will just be failures
-
4027
Is the Chinese government sponsoring the company?
-
4028
I'm 99% sure of it. The question is if it's official sponsoring or not
-
4029
-
4030
Most such companies I can imagine being subsidised as it's in the host country's best interest to have such a big company there
-
4031
I quite agree with you there. Being a Communist country, China has quite some control over businesses and the economy, and right now it seems set to become the world's greatest economic power. If China is determined to set up a giant in aviation, the progress may be very quick.
I do hope that China's aviation industry will not overtake Europe and America's.
-
4032
It can be done by them, but I don't think Airbus or Boeing will ever fall - unless they make a big mistake, bigger than the 747-8
-
4033
So the 747-8 is a big failure? :lol:
-
4034
Compared to what they expected, I think yes. It is selling well with the freight market, but probably because Boeing wants to keep the production rolling, thus offering discounts on the aircraft
-
4034
I feel really sorry for the 747
-
4036
It will be a sad day when she is no longer flying. Such a beautiful aircraft! I've heard that Turkish airlines maybe is considering a few 748s
-
4037
The 747 is a beauty. I don't agree with Boeing's 747-8 look, though; I don't think the 747 looks good with 787-like flexible wings.
Some way or the other, I think the 747 will continue flying, through preservation works, perhaps? It deserves the nickname "Queen of the Skies."
-
4038
The 747-400 is the prettiest, but I think the 748 still has some grace to it -although it's just a bit too long...
-
4039
I rarely see as much 747's nowadays as previously when at the airport. Are they already being phased out?
And sorry about the inactivity. I fell sick for the whole week and is just getting better as I write.
-
4040
I think the 744s are being phased out, being replaced by 777s and not 748s as hoped for by Boeing
-
4041
Do any of you like using the 747 in the game?
-
4042
I use it as a prestige aircraft, to show off :P The 748 is not really economical, but it looks cool in your fleet!
-
4043
Would you rather use the A380 or the B747?
-
4044
The 747. Just looks better. And the 380 is way too expensive
-
4045
The A380 doesn't profit that well in AM either :/. :D
-
4046
No, sadly. It has to do with its high fuel consumption - we are aware of that :)
-
4047
The poor blimp.
-
4048
Blimp?
-
4049
A blimp is another word for an airship
-
4050
I know that, but what is meant by suddenly introducing the subject of blimps? Does it refer to the A380?
-
4051
Maybe comparing the shape of the A380 to the shape of a blimp
-
4052
I think so. A bit of a resemblance, maybe?
-
4053
Sorry for the confusion. To me, the A380 is rather a blimp of an aircraft. :P
-
4054
It's more a ship than a craft, I would say. So many people fit into one
-
4055
Hee hee... It is so funny to see you two ridiculing one of my favorite aircraft with complete gusto :D.
Although I am not saying that you two are wrong. Quite some descriptions!
-
4056
Why do you like it that much?
-
4057
Well, it's big, and it's Airbus :P. And I somewhat like the look of it's fuselage, though I cannot say that for it's fat wings :D
-
4058
The A380 has glamour, though it looks rather like a fat baby with wings. :D
-
4059
Glamour is not really what describes our modern jumbo jet here. More like lumbering usefulness (If it is useful).
-
4059
I think with time and more usage it will look better to the eye, you know, you would get used to it
-
4061
Well, actually I already did. I think its nose looks - well, at least it's not ugly. And I like the rudder.
-
4062
In general it looks not bad, but there is just something I can't put my finger on, something that's a bit off
-
4063
Yep. It looks all right, but not perfect at all. But strangely enough, I still like it for all its peculiarities :D
-
4064
Which looks better, B787 or A350?
-
4065
I would say the 787 perhaps. The whole thing is designed around a certain gracefulness never before seen in modern airliners (which really look strictly businesslike and built-for-the-purpose-of-making-money :D). Boeing has quite succeeded in making the whole aircraft conform to the same standard of soft, gentle gracefulness.
The A350? Well, the first time I saw a picture of it, I thought, what's this?! Now I have gotten used to it :P, but really the cockpit windows are designed in a never-before-seen out-of-the-world novel way. It looks quite cool, actually, when you get used to it. The whole plane looks pleasantly slender, and the glossy effect is quite well capitalized on, giving it a very modern feel. However, I still feel that its winglets look too flowy but feel too stiff, making it peculiar. You would expect it to flow like the 787, but it just doesn't. Otherwise I love it!
However, I still don't understand the useful purpose of Boeing's new flexible-wing trend...
-
4066
4064
Which looks better, B787 or A350?
B787 for me too.

What about you, Matias? :)
-
4068
Just curious, how many active moderrators are moderating Airline Mogul and it's forum now?
-
4069
I think I like the 787-9 or 787-10 the most. The 787-8 looks too chubby, like the 767-200 and A310. I don't really have an opinion on the A350 yet.
Right now it's mostly me moderating the forum

Sorry for the inactivity. I went away from the internet for a while.:P
-
4071
Vacation?
-
4072
Not really. Too much schoolwork.
-
4073
Good not to have internet when doing schoolwork
-
4074
Do you play any other online games?
-
4075
Not right now. I used to play OGame (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGame) ten years ago or so, and I have tried one or two other airline games. But right now I play AM only.
You?
-
4076
I play:
NationStates (http://nationstates.net) (govern a 'nation')
ManaagerLeague (http://www.managerleague.com/index.pl?ref=1399839) (soccer management)
GPRO (http://www.gpro.net/?id=846686) (Formula 1 management)
-
4077
I tried NationStates once, but I didn't think much about it. I think I like AM more :P
-
4078
NationStates is boring. The community is fun though.
-
4079
Well, it's about making your own history and flags and stuff like that, no?
-
4080

Well, it's about making your own history and flags and stuff like that, no?
Actually, no. You could compose your own history and create your own flag, as well as answer some issues of the day, but the main thing about NationStates is its thriving community. :D
And yes, I do play NationStates, too. Not on a grand scale, though. Check out my nation: Hospira (https://www.nationstates.net/nation=hospira)
No matter what, though - I count Airline Mogul as my number 1 game. :)

I like how I can mold and change my airline here just as I like :)

I tried that once, but the competition was too fierce. XD
-
4085
I think maybe Beijing is a bit less known, otherwise you can pick large airports that are not called by their city name - e.g. Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi)
-
4086
China's good. Little competition with lot's of passengers. :)
-
4087
In smaller worlds the big medium-sized aircraft are usually not taken up - Munich, Shanghai, Bangkok, Delhi, Mexico, Dallas, and so on

I've been here for many, many years :)

Yeah, fewer people are using the forum nowadays. I think it's a general trend away from forums and toward social media

I agree.

I just don't like how posts in Facebook groups disappear into the abyss after a day or two...
-
4102
I have a twitter account, but it was too much trouble to check the posts.
-
4103
I've never used twitter - isn't it pretty much like facebook?
-
4104
Somewhat, but it focuses more on the "tweeting" and the chat is not very convenient.
-
4105
Eh, I'm fine with all my aunts on Facebook, haha :P
-
4106
I don't have a Facebook account yet. My Twitter account is @Blutchidoo. Nosy was taken. :P

Facebook, what is it? What is t used for? What is it supposed to be used for. Hmm....
-
4111
Facebook is used to keep in touch with other people, brag about your virtual farm and post quotes on pictures
So yeah, mostly to chat with people
-
4112
I'm back! Happy New Year, everyone! What's the latest news?
-
4113
Welcome back! I'm up for an A380 flight soon - my first :D
-
4114
Three Cheers for you! What airline and flight is it?
-
4115
Air France - I got to sit on the upper floor! But the windows don't let you see out much. Next time I will stay in the bottom floor haha
-
4116
Lucky you! The only time I got to sit on an A380, I sat between two people on the lower deck. My inflight entertainment was wacky too, and the airline was Emirates! :P Got any pictures?
-
4117
No pictures, sorry... It was a ten year old AF I think - at least the IFE made it seem so!
Too bad you got a middle seat! :(
-
4115
Was it a business trip?
-
4118
Oh, I wish my job gave me business trips! I would love to fly for free :P
-
4119
Haha. What kind of job do you have then?
-
4120
A hotel, but not one that provides for trips, haha.
-
4121
As a manager?
-
4122
just in the reception, talking to people haha
-
4123
Oh. So you welacome people and help them get rooms? Sounds sorta fun. :D
-
4124
It is as long as the people are happy! There has been a few times when guests did not behave :P
-
4125
And that's when you send them to their rooms with no supper! XD
-
4126
That's easy when the hotel has no restaurant haha
-
4127
We have a point in common (apart from the love of aviation) - I also used to work as a receptionist in hotels for many years, when I was younger.
It's a special atmosphere, self-contained, like an airport. Great to meet people from all over the world.
-
4128
Good to see you here again Thunderstruck!
-
4129
Thanks, Nosy! Hope all is well with you.
Like you, I'm one of the rare ones without Facebook. The only thing like that I have is Instagram, cause I like to post some photos I take now & again.
Which should leave me some time to occasionally come here and count up to 10,000 with you guys!
-
4130
The thing I like about being a receptionist is being able to help the guests with whatever they need for their trip to be good!

Good morning. My Instagram is "Arctic_Circles", come say hello!
Matias recently flew his 1st A-380 flight (cool!). I just flew my 1st A-350 flight about 3 weeks ago, with Air Caraïbes, between Orly and Fort-de-France. The flight was smooth, the aircraft comfortable, and they served us rum right after the take--off, so we got right away in the mood!
Also flew an ATR-72 between Fort-de-France and Pointe-Ã -Pitre, and so had a taste of island hopping. On the way back from Guadeloupe to Paris Orly, I chose to fly the legendary B-747, with Corsair.
Oh, and apart from these wonderful flights, I also had a great holiday in the French Caribbean islands!

4134
What an awesome trip! How is the A350? Have you flown the 787 too, how is it compared to the 350?
-
4135
I've flown on a 787. And to be frank, it's not much of a difference from other aircraft. Especially as I was on a low-cost carrier. :P The button operated window was kinda fun, but the results are very slow. The less opaque versions of the window acts a s a good sunglass. :D
-
4136
Hi guys, sorry for the long inactivity :P. I will have quite a lot to catch up with!
-
Well, simply put we've reached 4137 now
-
4138
Do you guys know that the Singapore Airshow is currently going on? Sadly I am not able to go, even though I am in Singapore.
Also, a few days earlier, during the non-public days of the airshow, a South Korean plane taking off skidded on the runway and caught fire. Quite a stir that caused, though thankfully the pilot was only mildly injured.
-
4139
How big is Singapore Airshow? Does it have big airliners or mostly small, local aircraft?
-
4140
Maybe we can search it up. I heard it is showing the F-35.
-
4141
It is the biggest airshow in Asia, or so they say. It seems to be quite a big affair for the aviation world, too.
The airshow features aircraft made by big brands, and I think they have Learjets, Bombardiers, and Embraers there. The F-35 seems to be one main feature too, and there are flying displays by F-15's and F-16's.
Just a fun piece of trivial knowledge: Singapore could not have displayed small, local aircraft even if they tried. Singapore is so small that it has no regional airline, and domestic flights are impossible. Also, Changi Airport is so internationally important, I don't think I have ever seen props here, and the smallest aircraft commercially may be the A320 and 737. I did hear, though, that the C919 would have been showcased here if it were internationally certified.
-
10,000!!!
Nah just kidding, just 4142...
Air Shows are fantastic, I used to work the Farnborough and Paris (Le Bourget) air shows when I was younger: so fascinating.
I was there that year in 1999 helping to set up the Paris Show, when the Su-30MKI fighter crashed during a training flight. The flight crew ejected, and survived.
Its magic to see these aircraft, ranging from the classics to the latest prototypes. I should try and go back there sometime.
Hopefully you'll be able to make it to the Singapore Air Show next time around!
To reply to Matias' earlier question : no haven't flown the Dreamliner yet, but it's at the top of my list. The A350 felt smooth, the inside cabin was top-notch. But some people (not any of us!!) might say that when you're in a plane, you're in a plane...

I think it's me. :P

4148
We just have to be vigilant
-
4149
Does anyone here play SimAirport?
-
4150
No, what is that?
-
4151
It is an airport simulation game where you manage and build an airport. The game is actually quite cute (too me :P), with all those little pixelated people moving around independently, and the aircraft are quite realistically modeled. The game is also quite comprehensive, covering quite a majority of airport operations, and realistically too. It is a bit slow on my computer though. It is payware, though I managed to get it for free, and just started playing it.
-
4152
Anybody here who uses X-Plane?
-
4153
Where can I get that Sim Airport game?
I used to play X-plane, but I flew mostly in FSX. Now I do neither :lol:
-
4154
I played for what must amount to several full months of my life the Microsoft Flight Simulator series (from 3rd version in 1988, up to the last).
I had one version tweaked and tuned with real world airlines, ATC, major airports, and even repainted an entire fleet of aircraft to the colors of an airline I had created.
One day my computer crashed, and I lost it all... since then I have never really had the heart to set it all back up as it was.
But I miss it! I should give it a spin one of these days.
-
4154
I miss it, but it feels old now. I wish there was a good simulator out there with up to date graphics and realism and easy to mod :P
-
4155
Well, X-Plane 11 is out for a while now, so why not give it a try?
Here's the SimAirport files from my computer; it is payware but getting it from the following link would be free, as I uploaded it to Google Drive myself :P. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kSAkykszlaph1ngkSzcZ6KnLAXOzK9TR/view
-
4156
It is expensive, haha - besides, I don't fly much any more...
Isn't it prohibited to give it to me for free if it's payware? Is it this one? http://www.simairport.com/ Or another one, as there are many airport sims?
-

I dunno, there seems to be a website dedicated to churning out payware games for free, and it is public.
There are many other airport sims, but SimAirport is probably the one I like best. I also know of AirportCEO, which is said to be more realistic than SimAirport. You can get both of these (with a price) at Steam.
P.S., not sure if this is right or anything, but I also found X-Plane 11 and FSX for free on the website I mentioned above :P
-
4158
I also play SimAirport
-
4160 (I missed a number)
Well, I'd rather hand my hard earned, sweat stained, greasy money to the developers, haha :) When getting free stuff I always promised myself to pay for it later when I got a good job with enough money though, so my conscience is not too stained

To tell the truth, me too.
I am planning on supporting you staff at AM by buying (lots of) tokens one day, but right now I don't even have a bank account! :P :D
-
4162
How many people still play AM?
-
4163
Don't worry too much about the tokens, the game is supposed to be free unless you want to donate :)
I think around 400 people are playing right now
-
4164
I love Airline Mogul, I hope it will exist for ever and ever and ever.
Thanks to all the team for the great effort you put into making this such a cool game, and such a pleasant place to be :)
-
4165
AM has been here for more than a decade. You can count on it staying here (if it's up to me to decide :P )
-
4166
That made my day :)
-
4167
There's currently a world testing a rebalance of maintenance, route and staff costs
-
4168
I'd like to play a bit of AM, but I haven't got the time nowadays. Too much schoolwork. :P
-
4169
You'll come back. Join a long world and let it grow by itself :)

-
4171
If you're short on time perhaps you could play as a small flag carrier airline, such as Croatia Airlines, Cubana de Aviacion, Royal Air Maroc, etc... ?
Anyways, good luck with your studies Nosy!
-
4172
Join the world I am playing in now - if you ask I can tell you which bases are free
World 3270 - New Beginnings
For example Croatian Airlines that can be expanded to Balkan Airlines when you get more time :)
-
4173
Thanks, Thunderstruck.
How much time does World 3270 - New Beginnings have left?
-
4174
PW3270 is in 1972 right now, I think it goes all the way to 2017 or so
-
4175
I'm playing in that world too - come on in :)
There are currently 23 active airlines, would be nice to have you there, even if you an only play once in a while...
-
4176
Well ok then. :) Is WSSS free?
-
4177
Singapore is occupied with 300 routes right now. Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok each have only 100 routes.
Thunderstruck, which airline is yours?
-
4178
I'm playing as Southern Orient, headquartered in Asia (HKG).
There were 3 major airlines based in Asia until recently, but one of them just went bankrupt.
-
4179
This is you? (http://www.airlinemogul.com/show_airline.php?id=36799&wid=3270) That's a big airline!
-
4180
Where would you advise me to base an airline now?
-
4181
One of the following airports (red=free, navy=small airline based, blue=slightly larger airline based)
(http://www.gcmap.com/map?P=sea,clt,phx,%0d%0ac:navy,yyz,muc,bcn,iah,las,dfw%0d%0ac:blue,fra&MS=wls&MR=900&MX=720x360&PM=b:disc10%2b%22%25N%2210)
Asia is quite full, two huge airlines snatching all the good airports. USA has good competition among many airlines and so has Europe. South America is not too bad, but the airports there are smaller. Africa is free.
-
4182
"This is you" >> yup the airline has expanded quite a bit over the years. Actually my airline is in an alliance with you (Viking Airlines).
I've played in some worlds where there were few Asian airlines, but for some reason in this world Asia is quite busy, and I find that nice.
And NOSY even if it's fairly charged, there is always space for another Asian airline if that is where you want to be :)
Africa is always empty. I previously did play there, it was very challenging but mostly it was lonely. I wish Airline Mogul could re-balance Africa somehow, because it remains generally ignored by players.
My airline will slowly develop routes from our CDG hub to African destinations in the next 5 to 10 years.
Take care fellows!
-
4183
My airline will slowly develop routes from our CDG hub to African destinations in the next 5 to 10 years.
The Ilyushin 62 is especially well suited for routes to Africa. It's not too big and it can fly very far. The Vickers VC10 would be my second choice.
-
4184
Yes, for long-distance, medium capacity flights the Il-62 is perfect at this time of the game (early 70's) - it is also quite a slick & beautiful plane too.
Surprisingly, the aircraft I have made the most profits with for flights between Europe and Africa is the Concorde. Distances are far, and passenger numbers are very low, yet with the Concorde's speed and range, I can fly from Paris to Mali, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Ghana, etc etc, and make profits of over 500,000 € per aircraft!
This allows me to connect Africa with the world, and not let it remain an entirely deserted continent.
-
4185
Well then, I'll try Africa. :)
-
4186
The issue with the Concorde is that it costs 300+ million for 140 seats while the 737 goes for 60-70 million or so. Even if it earns twice as much it costs 4-5 times as much. And the fuel burn is much higher (although that is included in the route profits). But on the other hand the Concorde is a prestige aircraft :P

The owner of the world I'm playing in has gone AWOL - I hate it when that happens, especially for worlds that still have long to go... it means they get cluttered with bankrupt airlines, and they gradually lose momentum.
It's a pity because I enjoy the way that world was handled until now... perhaps he will come back.
But if not, I am thinking of creating a new private world. Any of you guys be interested in joining?

I would join, only I know the PW I am in will take a lot of my time as it gets later. It's still very early, with lots of route changes and aircraft changes. Any idea how many years the world may be? Sorry your world owner seems to have bailed. 😔.
If I can find the time to join, I will. Thanks for the offer.

What do you guys figure is the least amount passengers for major airports? 35M, 20M, 2M, somewhere in between? I don't know, myself. I know we make our own decisions/judgements, but I'd like to know what experience says. Thanks guys.
Happy flying!
-
4201
Flying from a large hub (+20 M) to much smaller (200,000 pax) airports can still bring in money. But I think then it's important to use smaller regional aircraft for such flights, to avoid high maintenance fees vs small profits.
I find that operating hubs of less than 12 M pax is a bit challenging, so if I want to fly out of such hubs, I make sure to first have several successful larger hubs, to cover lower revenues. Example: my airline made profits with hubs in Addis Abeba and Lagos, as long as I also had hubs in Heathrow or Frankfurt. It becomes very tricky to develop into a large airline if you ONLY operate out of smaller airports.
But I think some players don't want to have massive airlines, but rather develop these more alternate routes?

I had an airline out of African airports only, I managed to fly very many routes and own several A340s. It's not impossiblt at all, it's just slower :)

I find that operating hubs of less than 12 M pax is a bit challenging, so if I want to fly out of such hubs, I make sure to first have several successful larger hubs, to cover lower revenues. Example: my airline made profits with hubs in Addis Abeba and Lagos, as long as I also had hubs in Heathrow or Frankfurt. It becomes very tricky to develop into a large airline if you ONLY operate out of smaller airports.
But I think some players don't want to have massive airlines, but rather develop these more alternate routes?
I had an airline out of African airports only, I managed to fly very many routes and own several A340s. It's not impossiblt at all, it's just slower :)

Hey all, question?
Regarding buying new planes to update your fleets, how do you all go about doing it, regarding seating size?
I started at 56 seats, then after I started getting 100M real day, I upped it to 104 seat aircraft. I do not use the 56 seaters anymore, just the 104 seaters for small-medium airports.
I want to start getting 300+ seat aircraft, and I can afford between 3-5 of them real day now. Should i wait till i can afford 10 or more in a day?
Please give suggestions and any other tips you may find relevant. Im trying to pick your expert brains here.
Thanks for any help guys.
Happy flying!!!

Can you give us a link to your ailrine? I usually use aircraft that leave ticket prices between 200-350 euros.
Not only seat numbers affect route profits, but also fuel usage and cockpit crew numbers. The A300 uses around the same amount of fuel as my Hawker Siddeley 121 Tridents even though the A300 has almos double the number of seats.

Here is my airline guys. Tell me what you think about my previous post of getting updated planes, and flying distances. you need to go up a few posts. lol
Also, I am looking for a plane to replace the caravelles I have...unless you all think they are the best option for up to 1,000 mile flights.
As for everything over 1,000 miles, I am starting to get Tu-154s. But, when I do upgrade those, I'm thinking of using airbus 300s. These will be used for continental flights and any airport over 5-10 million+ passengers.
Again, please let me know when any or all this "should" happen, in your opinions. I'm pretty sure how I want to go, but I always would like suggestions from you better players...especially when i have not been this high and big with my airline before. It's pretty awesome, but I know it will take quite a bit of time to switch over planes once I do. Lol. Thanks everyone
Happy flying!!😀😀

Do get some A300s now, you have plenty of good routes from Atlanta. You can start by ordering ten, then see how it goes and how your profits increase - then you can buy more as you feel. I guess 25 or so is not unrealistic from your Atlanta base.
The Caravelle is very very good, but too small for your Atlanta base. I would suggest you stay with the Dassault Mercure, the best aircraft in its size (disregarding the lack of range). Instead of the Tupolev 154 I would go with the Boeing 727-200 Adv. As it has more seats and less fuel usage for the same price.
For long range operations the Tristar is the best until the B767-200ER comes around. I think the 762 is the best in all of AM.
(PS these aircraft choices are based on my 1973 airline, new aircraft may have appeared in the meantime. Do try the Aircraft Search function)

Ok, so some questions then,
1. What constitutes long range, in miles? The 727-200 Adv would be able to fly more than 3/4 of all my routes in the continental US...so, would I then use the A300s I will pick up for everything over 2700 miles then? That would actually only be maybe 1% or less of flights I would use it for, speaking of the continental US flights. And also overseas?
2. How cost effective could or would it be to fly an A300 series from airports 10M+, instead of just flying from major airports only? I mean, if I used a aircraft with half the seats, would the money only be a few thousand less per flight, or would it possibly be up to 50k difference?
I know the more passengers means more money per flight. I also know length of flight means more money as well. Does the passenger factor matter more than length of flight if everything was equal?
Please try to be as detailed as possible, as I am trying to form as good a Airline plan as I can, and all of you with your tips and/or suggestions are helping immensely!! So thank you all.
Happy flying!!

To answer your questions:
1: Long range is a liquid definition - there is no number or limit to say when it's long range. Trans continental routes wouldn't be long range in my eyes, but other people say other things. If the A300 has the range you can fly it across the Atlantic, but there I would use the A310 instead. When the A330 becomes available use that (but the 767-200ER is better).
2: To fly such a large aircraft from an airport of around ten million passengers would not be profitable on more than a handful of routes. Depending on how many big airports are nearby you could keep one or two aircraft busy. Use an aircraft like the 727 or A320 instead.
3: More passengers means more money, but longer routes also do. But the time used to do a 4 hour flight is less than two 2 hour flights, so in the end shorter flights are more profitable.

What is also important to keep in mind are turnaround times, but generally the larger the seating capability, the longer the turnaround time.
Also, I have a way of handling the route frequencies which is as follows: all flights up to 2,000 NM range at 1 X route frequency. Any flights with a range beyond 2,000 NM I fly at 0.5 frequency. I find its the way to capitalize the most!
Flying more than 1 X route frequency adds only a marginal amount of financial gains, and will cost you therefore because you will have to own more aircraft to fly a given number of destinations.
Finally, you will soon make more money than you know what to do with if you operate out of major hubs such as O'Hare or Atlanta. And so in the end, I like to fly the aircraft I want to, even though they might not be quite as profitable as others... Also, once you have loads of cash, you are free to operate some routes that are not as profitable, for instance I usually like to fly from Paris to Martinique and Guadeloupe because in the real world that is a very popular route (Air France / Air Caraïbes / Corsair and occasional charters fly this up to several times a day).
The really tough thing when you have a huge airline, is regularly renewing your aircraft fleet. It is time consuming, but it's somehow also something I enjoy doing. Keeping your average fleet age relatively low is important for the larger airlines, or else one day the maintenance costs will sky rocket.
All the best!
PS: these are just my takings, I'm sure other players have different ways of going about it.
PPS: in the real world the flights from Paris to Martinique/Guadeloupe usually all depart from Orly, not Charles-de-Gaulle.

Airline Mogul Conference: Two attendees :P
You've been around quite a bit, Thunderstruck! How come, if I may ask?
-
4231
Well the North American part of it was when I was a kid.
And then after that, I guess I was both curious and restless. I always want to discover what is on the other side of that mountain, or ocean... Plus, I love to fly on airplanes, so anything is a good excuse!
Thailand was a great adventure, I bought a one way ticket, I really wanted to discover a new culture and language (which I learned somewhat, but have now mostly forgotten unfortunately). Had to come back after 18 months when I ran out of money.
Where in Scandinavia are you from? Apart from Copenhagen which I visited twice, the rest of it remains uncharted territory for me, but I'd like to discover it sometime.
-
4232
I would love to have been able to go around the world like that. Flying is great! Especially when you fit into the seat (which I don't haha).
Copenhagen is my hometown, a very nice city. I haven't been much around, only on vacations.
What did you think of Copenhagen?

What airline names do you usually use in game worlds? I use Swan Air.
-
4234
I use names that reflect where it is, usually. Like Atlanta Lightning, AussieWings, Trans African Airlines, Viking Airlines. But the name could also say a bit about what kind of airline it is, for example BizJet for the business oriented airline I had out of Luxembourg, Strasbourg and Geneva.
But I always use a new name every time. I like that, it's fun to make up names

I enjoyed the city very much, it has such a laid-back and peaceful atmosphere, I find. And it's very nice to walk around and explore...
My girlfriend has not been there yet, and its at the top of her list, so we might go for a weekend there soon, but its not yet in our immediate plans.
Next two weeks we will go travel in Bretagne and another part of France. But no airplanes on that trip, just a lot of driving.
What airline names do you usually use in game worlds? I use Swan Air.
My all time favorite which I have used on several occasions is "PACIFIC AERO". At the moment I have an airline based in Asia, so its called "Southern Orient". Since my airlines often span several continents though, I need a more generalized name rather than a local name, so that it can appeal to travelers from all over the world! But I tried out a couple of other names too. I realize its been around 8 years that I've been playing Airline Mogul!
I came up with an airline motto though, which is invariably the same : "Flying you there in safety, comfort & style".

Thanks for the info! The first time I came I was 18, on an Interrail trip through Europe. It was the middle of Summer. It was so packed and expensive that we had to rent a room in somebody's house, quite a ways outside of the town center. The second time was more recent, in the Springtime: it was perfect weather, and indeed not so crowded, we found a hotel in the middle of the city, I'm not quite sure where though.
Same, if ever you make it down to Paris or Vienna, do please reach out if you need advice. Did you ever visit those cities?
-

Thanks for the offer :) I haven't been to Paris recently, and I don't like tourist crowds. So I guess I won't go there, hehe. Vienna is on the list though! So, soon, hopefully!

Not actual weekends, but I often have 2-3 days off in a row. Thank god :P
-
4243
Sure, there are some places in Paris full of tourists.
But it is such a huge city that actually most of the city is without tourists, and sometimes those are the best places to discover! So if you want to avoid the crowds of Montmartre or directly under the Eiffel Tower, let me know, I'll show you the way.... :)
I found an internet connection here in the middle of Bretagne, nice isolated place we are in... one more week of vacation, and then I will further enhance my airline empire!!
-
4244
Well, it's usually near the sights that it is crowded :P And the sights are the reasonyou go. But thanks for the offer!
Bretagne, that sounds rural, like a relaxing place

Matias, is there anything being done to introduce new aircraft like the Airbus neo family of aircraft, and more variants of the A350 and 787? I would really like to see those aircraft in the game. Also, are there Bombardier CSeries in the game?
By the way, GIMP has release version 2.10! It is available for download now from gimp.org.
-
4276
New aircraft are introduced to the game when they fly their first commercial flight. That means that as long as they are not with the airlines, they won't be in AM :) For 2018 to be in AM we have to wait for the year to finish

So technically the CSeries is already introduced? And the A320neo and 747-8, 737MAX, and 787 all versions?
-
4278
Yes, CSeries is included from 2016, 747-8 from 2012, 787-8 and -9 from 2012 and 2014 respectively. The 737Max would be included from 2018 if I remember its first commercial flight right.
A320neo should be added for 2017, but I'm not even sure the game can go to 2017 yet.

I just created a new private world, and the maximum end date seems to be "2018".
I think it means the game stops on January 1st 2018 rather than December 31st 2018 though?

Is it possible to start a brokerage in Thunderstruck's world?
-
4286
Yes, my fresh new world is PW3360 - I'll do an official forum invite soon.
It runs from 1968 to 2018, and we are now within the first year of game play (currently December 1968).
You are all of course more than welcome to join - it would be great having you there.
Anzatax, I saw Union Airlines just joined, but I hadn't realized it was you until now :)
A broker in the world would be a positive thing - is that something you feel like doing?
-
4287
A broker would be most beneficial for fledgling airlines, and would add in some spice to the game as well. It's not really something I feel like doing, since I already am managing an airline, but is there a way to start a brokerage while still giving Matias a chance to join the game as an airline later on?
-
4288
I can do brokerage for some months if you are interested, but with such a small world it will be really, really hard to run a profit. I think it might be a better idea to have an airline combined with a broker - as long as the player can keep the two things apart
-

Well, I am willing to take on this heavy task, and I will be very strictly fair with everyone. You can always kick me out if I cheat :D.
-
4290
Hey Anzatax - I have absolutely no doubt that you will be fair and impartial.
The real question is : are you ready to handle both tasks at the same time? Once your airline becomes very large it will be challenging enough to handle fleet renewals etc...
I don't want it to get so much to handle that it becomes discouraging, because it would be great to see your airline still active at the end of the game, in 2018!
I have played this game for many years but I never was a broker. So I'm not sure how much time/effort it takes to fill that role?
Anyway think about it and let us know :) The decision is yours....
-
4291
-
4291
Well, I am not really sure about this, because sometimes circumstances may arise that may force me to become inactive for some time, and that is not too convenient for the other players. Also, although I do not think it would really bother my airline plans and operations that much (since all a broker needs to do is accept a request, right? :P), I had actually never gone through a fleet renewal phase completely before, so I am not sure whether I know how to handle the replacements efficiently, and that may obstruct my operations.
Is it possible, though, for one to be broker for just a while, and maybe rotate the task among the players? It may also help to make the game more exciting and also may seem to be more fair.
Matias would make a better broker due to his more frequent activity :), but I am willing to try if you could excuse my inexperience and possible inactive days (or weeks :P)
-
4293
If I were to do it it would be purely as a broker. In such a small world it wouldn't be profitable. Having players take turns would be logistically challenging to do, so consider it well before commiting :)
-
4294
Agreed. Rotating brokers is actually an original and welcome idea, but I think it would be very difficult to implement.
If you want to be a broker but foresee that you will be absent at times (which happens to all of us) perhaps you could give an advance warning in the in-game forum, so that the players would know in advance that you will be away between certain dates?
-
4295
That sounds like a good idea, letting players know that you will be away for a short while.
-
4296
Yes, I can do that. I will try to notify everyone of impending absences ahead of time.
So as an airline/broker, will I actually gain profit from brokering that will be added to my airline's bank?

A broker cannot make routes isn't it?
-
4298
A broker has one bank account, if a broker has routes too then it goes to the same account.
When it is a broker in a public world then you can't have any routes, but a private world then it's up to the world owner
-
4299
Ah! Ok.
-
4300
No limitations in the game at least
-
4301
I'm more than willing for Anzatax to be the official world broker + run his airline.
I'm not so sure though, is there something I need to do to set him up?
-
4302
Nothing to say. XD
-
4303
Email :staff: with the world number+player ID and I'll make sure it's set up right :)
-
4304
Do you think being a broker is fun?
-
4305
It can be challenging when you get many orders and have to prioritize, but it can be very quiet many times
-
4306
I have never played as a broker, nor have I even used their services. I'm not yet sure of the advantages this could bring, so I'm glad if there will be one in that world.
I have sent an email to make the official request to implement Anzatax as the broker.
And Anzatax, if ever you do find it boring or too much to handle, I suppose you can inform us and we could remove you from that role?
Cheers!

Thanks for giving me the role! I will tell you if I ever get bored or have too much to handle. :)
Matias, do you have any tips for a first-time broker? I don't want to mess things up :P
-
4308
Keep in mind your maintenance costs. Try to have your leases cover your maintenance costs, they usually do at 6-10% monthly fee (percentage of purchase price). Leases for one year or two are good, any longer and they will hurt maintenance.
Selling aircrafts through the request feature is a big income boost as you only pay 85% of the price to the manufacturer. That way you can give a slight discount (start with 2-4%) to airlines. Long time customers might get other discounts, it's up to you.
Now, you're playing as an airline too, so maintenance is less of an issue. This might let you lower prices more, just be careful not to flood the market with cheap aircraft.
If you have specific questions about the workings of the brokerage system just let me know in a PM :)

Sounds kinda fun. Maybe I'll try out the position when I have more time! :D
-
4310
It sounds harder than it looks :)
-
4311
So am I the broker now, Matias? Thanks for the tips, by the way!
-
4312
Thanks for setting him up, Matias.
Anzatax : you are officially the world broker now :)
Perhaps you should introduce your role in the in-game forum, and let players know how to use/access your services, and the benefits they could gain?
Good luck to you!
-
4314
Introducing yourself will greatly imrpove your business :)
-
4315
Well, after I got my somewhat messy airline (due to the new aircraft and to newly-delivered aircraft) in order, I did an introduction for the brokerage. Go ahead and read it in Thunderstruck's world, and maybe tell me what I missed out? :D
-
4316
Do you need knowledge in programming to update the airports Matias?
-
4316
No programming knowledge is needed, it's pretty much just inputting the right numbers in an excel-file. Would you be interested in helping?
The introduction on the world forum looks good, very good explanations there! Can I borrow it for when I need to introduce my services next time I broker?

Does helping with the airports make one a moderator and part of the staff?
Of course you may use that! I was wondering how I could save it down for future use! :P

I don't know what you get by helping, but I hope that knowing you are helping is a reward in itself :)

Send me an email on matias.lq at airlinemogul.com and I will send you a link to a table with all the sources we have right now. Then we can look at what's needed :)
-
4320
What aircraft operates most profitably in the 1970-1980 period? I confirmed the fact that large aircraft do not operate well in AM when I configured the 747-200 route. :(
Are the staff working toward a more realistic simulation of large aircraft, Matias? I don't think a 747 should only earn $200,000 on a ultra-long-range flight :/.
-
4322
Boeing 727/DC-8 are quite economical. Later on the Airbus 300 and 310 for very big routes.
Of other large aircraft the DC-8-60 series (the ones with 260 seats) are good, as are the MD-80 series.
In 1970 I would choose 727 or DC-8 (or some British aircraft, HS121 Trident I think) - really anything with 160-220 seats is good. If you like Soviet aircraft then the Ilyushin Il-18 and Tupolev 154 are good
-
4323
The B747's & A340's etc are really fun to have in your airline. But they are not profitable due to low income + heavy maintenance costs.
The only way I found to operate these big birds is to first have a large and financially successful airline with sound finances, which will then be able to sustain the costs of these larger aircraft. If you start out early in the game with these jumbo jets, your finances could take a hit.
-
4324
Thunderstruck is exactly right
-
4325
Sorry for the inactivity. Got stuck with a project. :P
-
This is really hard. When did it first appear?
-
4327
It appeared the year before the Concorde's first flight
-
4328
This is really hard. When did it first appear?
How did this get here???
-
4329
I guess it was a mistake? :P I counted it when counting, don't worry
-
4330
That was mighty embarrassing.
-
4331
No worries, you guessed right in the end
-
4332
I kept thinking the aircraft was Concorde. I searched up Concorde, Concorde, and more Concorde. To think, the answer was so close!
-
4333
Concordski :)
-
4334
Need a clue for "Guess the Aircraft"?
-
4335
I'm yet to look into it a lot, but I'll ask in the thread :)
-
4336
Anybody here who went on an airplane ride recently?
-
4337
No, sadly! But I plan to soon
-
Four Three Three Eight
My last flight was about 3 weeks ago, PARIS ORLY to MALAGA.
Transavia B737-800 Aircraft.
I've flown that low cost airline 3 times now, always on time, always fine.
I have a big trip planned for August, and I'm getting real excited!
When was your last flight?
-
4339
My last flight? Hmm... February, Brussels -> Copenhagen with SAS A320. Nice airline, nice aircraft, but nothing special.
I hope to go on the water plane from Aarhus to Copenhagen (Nordic Seaplanes), that's gotta be a special ride!
-
4440
A year ago. :p Scoot 787 SIN - SYD and back.
-
4441
That's a longer flight, no?
-
4442
About eight hours or so. Worsened by the fact that Scoot does not provide inflight entertainment. :/
-
4443
No in-flight movies? Not even paid??
-
Four four four four
Ahhh you young ones... no inflight entertainment, how terrible! 😨
Just kidding, I know this has become indispensable to most people now. Although I fiddle around with the IFE symbolically, I usually always take out my book and read from take-off to landing, with regular breaks to look out the window. I'm old school.
When I was a kid, aircraft only had one giant screen per aircraft section, so everyone watched the same movie at the same time, kind of like it was a flying cinema, and it made us feel a certain bond with all the passengers. We are all in it together! .
Another thing that changed is that there were the smoking vs non-smoking sections on the aircraft. It seems totally crazy to imagine anyone smoking in an airplane nowadays, but not so long ago that was perfectly normal. The last smoking flight I remember taking was in 1997 between Paris and Seoul on a Korean Airlines B747.
-
(Since when did we start counting 44--? It should be 43-- :P )
4345
I also remember the times of one screen one movie. But I also remember (I think it was British) that had personal IFE screens, but there were only 12 channels or so showing the same movies on a loop - so 12 different movies. Had the movie just started, then too bad, no rewinding!
-
4346
You guys are all very lucky - no more vintage flying experiences for us younger ones!
I have only flown on three premium carriers: Qantas, Emirates, and LAN (Chile?). The only issue I have with these kinds of airlines is with the IFE; budget airlines make any premium carrier seem like first class treatment!
Qantas had some very nice (and fun) flight attendants. The only downside to Qantas's IFE is the limited amount of choices. But then again, I may have been flying on one of their older A330's, so that may have contributed to the fact.
Emirates had a great range of IFE options, but sadly I was flying on a short SYD-AKL trip, and on approach my earphones were confiscated, and I had to watch the movie Alice in Wonderland in silence, and this sort of dream-like movie only gets worse when you cannot hear what was going on! :D
LAN gave me the worst experience. First of all the aircraft looked as if it were made of wood, and broken-down wood at that! The main reason: my IFE screen was completely broken and I had to suffer 4 hours of budget airline experience on a premium carrier. Definitely did not make me feel to good about the poor airline!
-
4347
IFE is a privilege, but a long haul flight without IFE (low-cost airline or not) is not expected nowadays. Some airlines charge you for it, so be it, but a flight with no IFE is just not what passengers expect
-
(Since when did we start counting 44--? It should be 43-- :P )
4348
Well spotted Matias, I guess we jumped ahead of ourselves here!
I think sometimes its surprising how on a same airline, people can have quite different experiences. Anzatax had apparently a bad impression of LAN Chile, whereas I retain a very good one. I flew on that airline about 9 years ago on the following flights:
1- Return flight Santiago to Calama (in the north of the country) on an A-320 : new aircraft, fine service.
2- Return flight Santiago to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) a 5 and half hour flight over only ocean to one of the most remote and magical places in the world. It was a B-767 with brand new IFE system (of that time), I was actually very impressed. On Easter Island we were greeted by local women who threw a string of flowers around our necks :)
Are you sure if was the LAN Chile you flew on? If so perhaps there is a discrepancy in aircraft from their older ones vs their modern ones. Where did you travel to on that airline?
Also the airport on Easter Island IPC/SCIP has a VERY long runway, as it was lengthened by NASA as an abort site for the Space Shuttle. Unfortunately, this makes it look like a giant scar across the surface of the island.
I operate a flight there whenever I can on Airline Mogul, but I have never yet seen another player fly there apart from me, in numerous games that I played.
Hereunder the famous and mysterious Moai sculptures (it had always been a childhood dream of mine to go there, so I did it!)

Well, Scoot does offer IFE on long haul flights but 1) they charge you for it and 2) you have to hace a mobile device because it is actually similar to a TV program. There are no IFE screens on any of its aircraft, so SIN-SYD is quite a boring 8+ hours flight :/.
And sadly, Thunderstruck, your pic of that LAN Chile A320 has confirmed that the airline I was on was indeed LAN Chile. It was a AKL-SYD Qantas codeshare Oneworld flight. I must have been unlucky. Anyway that A320 looks very clean and new!
-
4350
Nice pictures Thunderstruck.
-
4351
The system where you stream to your own device might be the future. The airline saves weight and costs and only has to install one central server. No screens are needed as you bring your own, no cables, no free headphones. Much simpler with wireless transmission. Whether they will charge or not I guess depends on their business model (Ryanair vs. Emirates as an example)
-
4352
This system will not work with people who do not bring mobile phones, earphones, and suchlike. And the interior would look less high-tech too, being just filled with plain old seats. But it is a good idea for budget airlines to utilize. You are onto something there, Matias!
-
4353
I'm sure it is the future - besides, which people can pay for a plane tiket but not a smartphone capable of streaming? Not many, I would say: long haul flights are still more expensive than lame smartphones.
-
4354
Just wondering if there are any female players in Airline Mogul.
More and more women are pilots (and that's a good thing!), many women are fascinated by aircraft like us guys, but do they play the game?
-
4355
I don't know, we don't have those statistics :)
-
4356
Sorry for the recent inactivity. Got lazy. :P

Actually, surprisingly you do, as I just found out by searching a little.
At your forum statistics page we see a male-to-female ratio of 9.9 to 1
http://stephenm.org/smfforum/index.php?action=stats
So somewhere, they do exist, but they are rare.
Oh, and happy Summer time to you all!
-
4361
Well, yes, but that's for this forum only. Although we can expect the actual numbers for players to be similar to these
-
4362
I'm getting real excited about my upcoming Summer trip! Not only for a new destination to discover, but for all the different flights I will take.
PAR CDG -SIN on Air France, B777 (return)
One night in a hotel in Singapore, with time for a stroll in the city and an evening tasting street-food stands.
SIN to Jogjakarta on Air Asia, probably an A320
Then it gets complicated, as we were supposed to make our way from Java to Lombok, but due to the earthquakes we had to cancel our hotel reservations, and we will lose our tickets Air Asia from Lombok > Kuala Lumpur > Singapore. For me its only a vacation, so my thoughts rest with all the people that live there, and I hope things will work out OK for them.
So we still have to figure out what we will do instead. A great trip it will be, no doubt!
Have a happy Summer everyone, I'll continue counting with you to 10,000 when I get back end of August :)
-
4363
Summer's blown by where I am... Back to school...
-
4364
Start of classes were perfectly timed with the arrival of bad weather!

No more relaxation, eh? :D
-
4377
Weeeeeeell.... I get paid to sleep on my job, so there's that :lol:
-
4378
For real?!?
-
4379
Yeah, a night shift as the on-call person is not bad (as long as nothing happens)
-
4380
Sounds like the perfect job to me! XD
-
4381
Haha yeah, but it's not very entertaining though
-
4382
Dreams. Sweet dreams. That'd be entertainment enough. Pity they're hard to come by.
-
4383
I can hardly recall my dreams in the mornings
-
4384
Same with me. The ones I usually remember are nightmares.
-
4385
Sometimes there are vivid dreams which you cannot seem to forget, but when you try to recall them they get shorter every time :lol:

Dreams are volatile

Nice one with Guess the Aircraft matias.
-
4390
It was a hard one this time
-
4391
-
4392
Take a guess at the aircraft!
-
4393
Sorry again for the long inactivity :P. Your recent clue is a but odd though.
-
4394
OK I took a wild guess at the aircraft, but I'm generally hopelessly bad at that game...
-
4395
I don't want it to be too easy
-
4396
Indeed, a challenge is always good.
-
4397
Just keep guessing :)
-
4396
I am so ashamed of my inactivity. :P Gonna post at least once a week in the future!
-
4399
Don't worry, there are more important matters than counting to 10.000

Haha.
I'm rather free at the moment so I'm gonna try to help out here. :D
-
4401
Good to hear, join the fun!

Closer than yesterday ;)
-
4413
We'll reach our goal by 2025. :D
-
4414
Or 2030 ...
-
4415
Maybe 4415 :D
-
4416
I think year 4415 is being a bit pessimistic
-
4417
That is true :P.
Let us say that at this rate, perhaps 500 posts a year, we can get it done in 10+ years, which is about... 2030 truly. You have a great guess Matias :D
-
4418
12 years
-
4419
I hope not, let's try shortening that prediction...
-
4420
Only one way to do it ;)
-
4421
Going to try my best :P

5000 is not too far away!
-
4432

I posted double four double one last time :P

4436
Lucky

4437
We're still some ways away from 10,000, but at least we are getting nearer to Christmas, and that makes me excited.
-
4438
Christmas is nice - since I don't work in retail, all the songs make me jolly
-
4439
Christmas is exciting - problem is, people here are already putting up posters for New year's celebrations! :P

Quadruple 4!! :D
-
4445
Yay! Only five quadruples left!
-
4446
And immediately after that last quadruple is 10,000! Wow! :D
-
4447
Which is also a quadruple preceded by a 1
-
4448
That is somewhat true :)
-
4449
-
4450
Christmas is near!
-
4451
Yes it is!
-
4452
And 2019 too
-
4453
Well, Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year! I may be inactive for the festive days. :P
-
4454
Merry Christmas to you too!
-
4455
Did it again! Double four double five!
Merry Christmas everyone! :)

Let's talk about studies? Matias, what exams did you take to enter university? I am planning to take SAT.
-
4472
In Denmark a normal high school exam is enough. Finish high school = university access (in theory, depends on your grades, ofc)
-
4471
-
4473
That sounds easier than taking all these hard exams :P
-
4475
'It is, very easy. But then all three years of high school grades count toward your final grade (simply put)
-
4476

Oh no missed the 4477!

Maybe you'll get 4488?
-
4483
Hope so :P
-
4484
-
4485
Matias, will Airline Mogul ever have a major revision and upgrade? The game has great stuff, but I think maybe it needs modernization and some new features.
-
4486
Stephen has full time work, and he's the brain. Without saying too much then I dont think the layout will change much. The formulas and such might "soon", but we'll see :)
-
4487
-
4488
Good luck and all the best Airline Mogul!
P.S. double-4 double-8 :P

I would love to contribute suggestions if I can think of any ;). I would like to see this game become the best omce again!

4494
Or help with practical stuff ;)
-
4495
Well, my studies are taking up a lot of my time but if I can possibly contribute anything solid I would love to give it a try.
-
4496
You don't happen to speak French, do you?

Sadly, no :(. I would dearly love to though.

You got the last 4499 Matias! We will now have to wait for the 5500s :D
-
4501
I just come here to count :P
-
4501
A thousand more to go
-
4503
You counted wrongly again Matias :D

How do you manage to continue coming in to check this almost-dead forum daily, Matias? I admire your perseverance and loyalty! And how I wish I can help.
-
4516
-
4516
I'm a staff member, I have to make sure the forum isn't spammed!
-
4518
What harm do spammers pose?
(You miscounted again Matias)
-
4519
Obviously, they [spammers] wreak havoc and confusion.
Is Stephen still actively trying to develop the game, Matias? I wonder if in the future I can be able to help out effectively?
-
4520
You never see it because I patrol here all the time ;)
-
4521
Thanks Matias for all your effort to keep Airline Mogul up and running. Such a great place.
Most appreciated :)
-
4522
I feel embarrassed to be (in a sense) only spamming the General Chat. :P
-
4523
Join the discussions elsewhere! There are ... several ... I think :P
-
4524
I quit the game, came back, quit again and came back again and matias is still here :)
I think back when I was actually active matias wasn't part of staff/just became part of staff
-
4525
You can't quit now, Mastafa. We're counting on you to help us count to 10,000. XD
-
4526
I became part of the staff in February 2011 (that's a while back!)
Mastafa, you should join one of the longer private worlds and work on slow expansion. You get to see your airline growing but without replacing too many aircraft. I've done this here (link) (https://www.airlinemogul.com/show_airline.php?id=14837&wid=3270), but it's a bit larger than what I feel comfortable with. Next time I think I'll make a smaller airline - in the Caribbean, maybe?
-
4527
Yeah I should! I am actually part of a couple private worlds as of this moment. I don't have much to do lately so I've been grinding and expanding rapidly (like fly to every airport within 2000NM in EU expansion). Only doing that because of a bet with a friend though, LOL.
Usually with the grind strategy, you don't have to replace your airplanes at all (One of my airlines' has a average fleet age of 25.4 years, but it still turns a profit). But it gets boring real fast, so I usually have like a YouTube video playing alongside to help keep me from getting too bored.
Smaller airlines are nice because you get to have a bigger challenge IMO - with large airlines, it just gets _too_ grindy because you have a lot of cash.
I find it amusing that back then, long haul routes were not profitable at all and they still aren't (Stephen y u no fix D:<)). I almost destroyed one of my airlines by ordering 1000 A380's. My maintenance costs literally rose to like 60 billion in a "month". Any ETA on that being fixed? If not, any way that I can help? I'm studying to become a computer engineer so I may be able to help out here and there and gain experience in the process :p . Literally everyone I know that played this game (8 people) quit because of how grindy it is
-
4528
If you play to become big, then yes, it becomes very grindy. But I like to play realistic, which means smaller airline, slower growth and fewer aircraft delivered at a time.
The new maintenance formula is sloooooowly getting there. There was a test world a while back which showed much lower maintenance, so it is infact the whole game economy that needs to be overhauled here... The fuel consumption is not really accurate for big aircraft, that's going to be fixed too
-
4529
I'm more of the go big or go home type
I find it amusing that the most profitable aircraft in this (and some of the other airline management games that I played) are planes that were a commercial flop (such as the Dassault Mercure, Concorde, etc). Quite interesting
-
4530
If I recall correctly, the Mercure was a flop due to its lack of flexibility. It couldn't fly further than 1000 kms, which isn't really enough for a plane its size. In AM flexibility doesn't matter.
The Concorde though benefits from the fuel formula in the game, which doesn't give it enough of a penalty. That, and it magically reaches full speed right after take off :P
-
4531
Yep! That abysmal range.
and yeah, but at least it is sort of mitigated by turn-around times existing in airline mogul, which is better than some other games :p
Now if we were forced to follow FAA rules and were not allowed to fly them supersonic over land....
-
4532
Glad to see another player active again :P. I don't play the game currently, I just help support this poor forum so I check in periodically. Although I am not playing, I still love Airline Mogul! :P
-
4533
imma probably be inactive again when schoolwork picks up :p
im cringing so hard reading at my past posts : (
-
4534
Don't worry, Mastafa, nobody reads these forums anyway haha
And remember, school goes before airlines!

Yay!

-
4548
i wanted to play AM, but my library's computer blocks game sites( and proxy sites). :(
-
4549
Similar is the case here, plus increased school burdens :D
-
4550
That's mean of the school to do that!
-
4551
Tell the truth, gaming in school is the real problem. :D
-
4552
True, but I don't really believe in too many restrictions in general
-
4553
Well, we don't have too many restrictions, just to many stuff to do :P
-
4554
-
4555
Homework is good to repass what you've learned. But for me any homework is too much homework
-
4556
is it just me or is this a new theme
-
4557
Surprise!!! :D
You can change the theme in the settings panel, there are a few to choose from
-
4558
As I already said, this is awesome, Matias! Thanks for doing this! Hooefully, more players will come alive in this forum :P
Gave me quite the surprise to see the old theme gone - I thought that my old mobile browser went nuts! :D
-
4559
It was Stephen who fixed the forum after an update, I just stand by the side cheering
Did you like the old theme? Or did it feel too old?
-
4560
Playing around with some more interesting avatars. You can find a bunch of colors in the Forum Profile section of your profile, feel free to suggest some more colors!
-
4561
I'll make some more tail variants later when I get home, any good imaginary airline logos out there?
-
4562
Honestly the old theme is hella nostalgic but ill take this new modern theme anyday. it's so clean
-
4563
Take a look at the default avatars we have added :) You can choose your own
-
4564
I do like the new themes, but heheh, I can't bear to leave the old one :P
By the way Matias, can you tell me where you found or made that lion logo? I am thinking of designing a similar one for a new airline concept.
Also, if I were ever able to make some of my own logos, would you be able to upload them as avatars? :D
P.S. I can't seem to change my avatar at the forum profile page? It only allows and by default selected one option: no avatar.
-
4565
I made the Lion logo myself together with some others. They should be available in the Forum Profile Settings. I don't know why you might not be able to?
For the logos themselves, I just search random stuff like "Simple Clipart", "Flower Drawing -Art" and so on
-
I guess I wil try that clipart search :P.
Is it also possible to upload your own avatars?
-
4566
For now we have that option disabled, but feel free to send us a copy of a tail you create and we can share it with everyone or I will see if I can upload it just for your use.
-
4561
Yay! Avatars!
-
4569
Avatars *and* Stephen joining the counting :D
-
4570
That's extremely rare. Stephen playing forum games!!!
-
4571
Are there any tail designs you would like to request? I can make a few more to be added to the list
-
4572
Can you make some that have the colors on the tail instead of on the background? Oh, and also make one with the Airline Mogul logo, maybe!
Plus may we also get the option to upload our own avatars?
-
4573
I can try making some tails with colour but no logo.
You can make your own avatar and send it to :staff: for approval. No results guaranteed.
-
4574
Thanks Matias.
What do you think of the recent incidents with the 737MAX? Do you think it has anything to do with the fly-by-wire systems?
-
4575
All indicates it has something to do with the MCAS. If that's true and Boeing deliberately hid the changes from aircrew, then it is a really worrying turn of events.
-
4576
Oh true. It seems that the new system laws and logic is prone to error. Like a bug in software programs, except that this system is deadly. I guess that the 737MAX is not safe after all, if that's the case. This is the problem with fly-by-wire ;/
-
4577
It usually works, but the pilots should know what to do when it doesn't work. Which wasn't the case here, sadly. Just like that accident in Stockholm many years ago with a SAS MD-80; the pilot didn't know about the automatic throttle restoration when he decreased the throttle right after take-off. The engines then surged (what the pilot tried to avoid) and it crashed in a field.
-
4578
That was tragic. I hope Boeing won't keep any more secrets from the poor pilots.
-
4579
They presented a new software update for the system now, let's see if it makes it better
-
4580
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
-
4581
It's been a long time since Stephen has last been really active! Really excited to have you here again!
Will there be updates to the game planned soon? :P
-
4576
I don't really know what's going on... :P
-
4583
I hope you're enjoying your weekend too, Stephen
-
4584
Do the staff at Airline Mogul ever have meetings together?
-
4585
Haha, I wish we could have monthly meetings in a new airport every time!
-
4586
That would be fun, and very expensive too :D
-
4587
If every user paid $100 we could do it, maybe even in business class :D
-
4588
-
4589
More tails on their way soon
-
4590
I have been lucky to meet a lot of AM staff in real life over the years but sadly since we are spread cross the globe in person meetings are very rare! Email and chat are the easiest ways to communicate.
-
4591
It helps when you work at an airline and can get discounted tickets ;)
-
4592
May I ask if the Airline Mogul staff ever get a salary from the game?
-
4593
We work entirely for free on a voluntary basis. Online games can have a high volume of players, yet few actually paying to use it (which is okay, it's the most fun way of playing!)
-
4594
And I can't agree with you more! Thanks for making this game playable free of charge! I would support you guys if I could :P
-
4595
You can always support it by purchasing tokens hint hint
-
4596
Making the game available for free and ensuring people cannot buy their way to success in the game was a big part of how AM was developed. We just wanted to create an airline game rather than try to get rich quick.
-
4597
Pay-to-win games are frustrating. I remember playing Ogame 10-15 years back, but since it was pay-to-win I just didn't care and gave it up
-
4598
Airline Mogul was one of the first ever games I found and joined online. If it were not free to play, I would never have considered it, but I am grateful to the staff here for creating such a wonderful game and making it accessible to all.
Looking forward to the potential new updates!
-
4599
-
4600
First time I logged into the forum in a while. What a pleasant surprise to see it updated like this!
And glad to see that we are still counting our way up to 10,000 !
All the best.
-
4601
Welcome back! We are still working (slowly) on the game :)
-
4602
And this thread as well! :D
-
4602
The more the merrier!
-
4603
True that.
-
4604
-
4606 [I think we double-counted one a couple of posts up]
Not sure about your parts of the world, but here in Paris the days are getting longer, brighter, greener, and warmer. Always a nice time of year!
-
4607
It's lovely! I can't wait to go to sleep while it's just getting dark and have the whole day in light!
-
4608
Here where I am, nights are stuffy and hot. :P
-
4609
Where are you, Florida?
-
4610
I like stuffy & hot :)
What a terrible evening yesterday at Notre Dame... went to see it burn. Such a special place that has always meant a lot to me.
But the worse was averted, and we will rebuild it!
"Fluctuat nec mergitur" is the motto of Paris. It means : "Tossed by the waves, but never sunk".
-
4611
Yes, I saw. Surprising that they didn't take more care when renovating (if that's the cause of the fire)
-
4612
Indeed. Big investigation underway to determine precisely what happened.
-
4613
Thankfully stone can't burn! So most of the structure is intact
-
4614
At least it can be rebuilt, which means that I still have a chance to visit it one day :P
-
4615
Sounds like they recovered the rooster from the top of the spire. Will be interesting to see what they restore back to, the more recent spire or the one that came before.
-
4616
Didn't they ask architects to come with suggestions for a new spire?
-
4617
I was listening to the French Ambassador to the United States on the radio yesterday on the way to work, he was saying it's pretty open ended for now as to what they will do. I guess at some point they will decide what they want to do and select a design then.
-
4618
I think it would be nice to have something new on that church. As all old buildings it has been reconstructed and changed a number of times
-
4619
It won't be exactly the same, new techniques and designs will be used. But it will be breathtaking, and it will retain its soul.
-
4620
I am sure I wouldn't be able to tell the difference
-
Happy Easter Sunday! I hope the Notre Dame can be restored to its former glory again.
-
4622
I hope everyone had a nice Easter!
-
4623
Thanks! Had to work - but I like it. I hope you all had a nice easter too
-
4621
Wonder if they will be able to make the renovated church look ancient. :D
-
4624
It'll look like it was built yesterday :P
-
4625
That is a funny way of putting it - especially since it has not yet been built! :D
-
4627
Would anybody like to help contribute to a wiki-style manual for the game? There is one, but it hasn't been updated for ages
-
4628
I would be happy to, but I don't trust myself to be able to do much, so I cannot promise anything. What does it involve?
-
4629
It's like a normal wiki, anyone can contribute. It doesnt matter how much :)
-
4630
I thought I would mention that Matias has hit his namesake post count, 1993! Congrats Matias!
@Anzatax, if you ever feel like improving the Wiki you just have to edit a part you feel you can change and make some tweaks. It's really quite easy. The Wiki is back up here (http://www.airlinemogul.com/manual/). Just login with your AM account details.
-
4631
Haha 1993 feels good, but 2000 is a new millenium ;)
-
4632
7 more posts and your PC will crash. :D
-
4633
Good thing posts in the General Chat don't count haha
PS: Take a look at the To-do list on the wiki (https://airlinemogul.com/manual/index.php/Todo), maybe there is something you can contribute :)
-
4634
Wow nice Matias about 1993 posts! I read it somewhere, but I forgot - why "1993matias"?
-
4635
It's my year of birth :)
-
4636
I'll check out the wiki soon :)
-
4637
Please do, we appreciate if you can help with anything on the to-do list (https://www.airlinemogul.com/manual/index.php/Todo)
-
4638
All help is welcome on the Wiki! If anyone is interested in helping translate the Quick Start Guide (https://www.airlinemogul.com/manual/index.php/Quick_Start_Guide) into their local language, let us know! It would be great to have a number of languages on offer for new users.
-
4639
Just counting.
-
4640
We have made some great progress on the Wiki, and it's nice to have the discord server up and running! :)
-
4641
Please do contribute, you just need to log in with your AM user, then you can edit. I don't have much time to work on the wiki, sadly
-
4642
Problem is, I don't know much about AM due to lack of playing...
-
4643
From when you have played Nosy, what was your favorite and least favorite thing?
-
4544
Nosy, how long have you played?
-
4645
I hope everyone had a good week. Nice to reach the weekend. :)
-
4646
Nice and productive. But we need some help guessing that aircraft in the other thread :)
-
4647
I am rather noobish at AM. But one thing I noticed is that most routes earn the most with frequencies <1. Also, small aircraft like the A319 are more efficient than big aircraft such as the A330.
-
4648
That is some of the realism we want to improve, some of that will come soon
-
4649
-
4650
Weekend again! Where does the time go... :)
-
4651
Time flies when you are having fun ;)
-
4652
Oh boy, very punny. :lol:
-
4653
-
4654
Welcome here too, StDx
-
4655
We're nearing 5000!
-
4656
Just keep countinh, just keep counting, just keep counting ... :)
-
Ok... then here's another one "4657"
-
4658
:D
-
4659
-
4660
-
4661
Stephen, in regards to your earlier request to translate the Quick Start guide - I'm able to do this in French for you guys.
However I'm pretty bad at handling the Wiki. Is it OK if I email you the text once I get around to it?
-
4662
However you want to do it is okay. I don't even know how to make a page get a different language yet :P
-
4663
Ha ha me neither, when I was looking. There must be a way though.
Anyway just sent you guys an email with the user guide translated into français. Hope it helps!
Bonne journée.
-
4664
Merci beaucoup for the translation, I'll add it to the wiki before the weekend (I'll be a bit busy the next few days). That was a surprisingly quick translation!
-
4665
And I jumped a bit too fast on Matias by adding it, oops. :D Thanks again for the translation! Hopefully we can get a few more languages on there over time.
-
4666
Stephen doing something quick? It's a miracle haha!
-
4667
Hi both - glad you found a solution to integrate the French version. Just a comment: the "AM Register" link included reverts an Error 404 page. Perhaps you should update that link.
Have a nice day.
-
4668
Sometimes I surprise myself Matias. :lol:
Link updated!
-
4669 :)
-
4666
It's nice to see people playing AM all over the globe. :D Sadly I only spam the Off Topic in the forums... :P
-
4671
It's not spam if it's encouraged ;)
-
4672
XD

Happy Monday!

4677
My job has random days off, so this Monday is my Sunday :D
-
4677 (again)
I used to enjoy when working a job that had my weekends during the regular week. I liked not having the same rhythm as everybody else.
-
4677 - nah, just kidding! 4678
The only downside to this job is that it's full time hehe
-
4679
When I first moved to the U.S. I was working days, nights and weekends. The joys of companies that merge. :D
-
4680
United and Continental?
-
4681
You got it! 2012 was a rough summer for passengers and employees alike.
-
4682
You've been working in the US for so long? How time flies (hehe)!
-
4683
Yeah! Going on year #8, never thought I'd be here this long.
-
4683
-
4684
Hi, I'm back :P
Wow so Stephen works for real airlines! I hope that experience will be reflected in AM :D
-
4686
Welcome back!
-
4867
Happy Friday!
-
4868
It's weekend!
-
4869
I am kinda glad to not be travelling this weekend. :D
-
4870
You sound like a rich guy :P
-
4871
I cannot afford to travel for a while, not a rich guy's problem. :P
-
4872
Says the guy who gets discounted flight tickets :D
-
4873
-
4693
4867
Happy Friday!
This is where the miscount started, should have been 4687 :P
-
4694 it is, then!
-
4695
I clearly cannot count. :(
-
4696
No, because I miscounted too
-
4697
Back on track so. :)
-
4699
Ah, I missed your post, sorry!
-
4700
Is it 4699 or 4700 for me really? I am not sure where the miscounting began :D
-
4701
I think we are good now...
-
4702
Some years ago we had a discussion whether to count like the post count or post count +1. In the end it became post count +1
-
4703
Now I feel like a part of major history :D
-
4704
-
4705
Can't believe I miscounted. Must have seen an older page. :P
-
4706
We had to reset the count... but welcome to the party. 8)
-
4707
Do you think we will end up in the Guinness Book of Records for being the first to count to 10,000?
-
4708
Perhaps if someone could invite officials from that organization...
-
4709
Quick, write to them!
-
4710
We only have 5290 numbers left to go, we are running out of time. :D
-
4711
:D
-
4712
We are almost halfway, can you imagine that!?!
-
4713
8 years down, should be done by 2027, it's just around the corner...
-
4714
If it were dog years, we'd be done by 2020 :P
-
4715
Woof!
-
4716
-
4717
-
4718
-
4719
Happy Friday! Weekend again. 8)
-
4720
For you, maybe, I got a couple of night shifts ahead... Yay...!
-
4721
On the night shift do you reposition units or do you drive late/early morning services too?
-
4722
Weekends have more passenger services, but I am doing one reposition. There are comparably few repositions, they are mostly from the last trains arriving at the terminus that have to go to the depot tracks somewhere else.
-
4723
The two car commuter train that worked my branchline in the West of Ireland would run empty to the local maintenance depot once a week I believe, that was 200km away! I hope they have a better system now...
-
4724
-
4725
Some empty services make little sense, especially when they're fully staffed and take the same amount of time as if they were stopping and taking up passengers...
-
4726

4728
Was at the Paris Air Show yesterday.
I worked there on a couple of occasions when I was younger, but yesterday I was just a happy visitor...
-
4729
Anything interesting? I've never really been to airshows
-
4730
Me neither. And to think that the Singapore Airshow happens every two years, and I cannot go! 😭
-
4731
-
4732
My old university used visit Farnborough for the airshow but of course the year I was studying the airshow was in Paris. :'(
-
4733
I worked the one in Farnborough as well (once). Working those shows was intense hard work, started at 7AM through to 9 PM, followed by nights out drinking with all the people you met up to 3 AM,. Rinse and repeat that rhythm daily for the duration of the show. Thank goodness I was young back then and had little problem keeping up the pace. Would knock me straight out now!
Paris Air Show : static display was decent enough. For the flight show, the skies were clear with just the right amount of clouds to lend it a good backdrop. I saw what I think is one of the most beautiful helicopters ever: the Airbus "Guépard".
(https://i.ibb.co/p3DXzYK/gu-pard-2.jpg)
-
4734
Many people there?
-
4735
-
4736
That is one good looking helicopter!
-
4737

4740
Has anyone noticed the subtle changes to request aircraft? :)
-
4741
-
4742
Has anyone noticed the subtle changes to request aircraft? :)
Yes - nice little changes :)
I also really like the world airport map that now appears when you click on "rent gate" - that one look really good!
-
4743
Oh wow, those are awesome!
-
4744
Yesterday was the highest ever recorded temperature in France's history ! (45.9 °C in the South of France)
Hot where you are too?
-
4745
I live in Atlanta so for me it's "hot" May-October, half of that battle is the humidity here. Looking forward to November. :D Actually it hasn't been terrible so far this year, nothing like the record temps in Europe!
-
4746
Danish record is somewhere around 33 C, that's nothing compared to 45 in France!!! But as long as the air isn't humid it's okay. 25C and very humid is worse than 45 C very dry
-
4747
I used to live in Thailand, that was hot & humid. But I actually love the heat - so I'm not complaining, although this past week was rather hardcore.
-
4748
Heat is nice, but being warm and sweating oceans is not
-
4749
Danish record seems pretty pleasant for a record. :lol:
-
4750
Danish warm weather is always humid, it's not nice haha
-
Haha it is warm and humid every day here, and it raindls a lot too!
-
4751
I'm happy I don't live in the tropics
-
4753 - I think we skipped a number.
or 4752, in case we are allowed to write posts here without counting?
-
4754 I think it was an honest mistake to not count, otherwise if we stop counting we will never hit 10,000. :lol:
-
4755
Sorry for missing a count 😶
-
4756
We will forgive you this time....
-
4756
Now you have to count twice for the next number :P
-
4758
Oh I see what you did there. :D
-
4759
-
4760
Back to the grind tomorrow... :)
-
4761
At least you had Monday off!
-
4762
-
4763
-
4764
Back to the weekend again
-
4765
How time flies
-
4766
Day after day, number after number.
-
4767
-
4748
We better pick up the pace in here...
-
4749
Can we get a bot to count every time somebody counts? :P

Yes! Great plan, then a second bot to respond to the first. Should get us there in no time.

4751
Not cheating at all!

4752
Sorry for inactivity on the "Guess the Aircraft"
-
4773
No worries
-
4774
Reversible number ;)
-
4775
Not reversible :(
-
4776
Can't find anything particular to say about this number, be it positive or negative. Except that it's one number closer to 10,000.
-
4777
Triple seven!
-
4778 like the 77X variants!
-
4779
Do they make a 777-9X?
-
4780
I think they do! And it may well be the biggest twinjet yet!
-
4780
The 777 engines are enormous
-
4781
Weren't the existing engines as wide as a 737? I wonder what the new engines are like.
-
4783
I remember 10-15 years ago we were marveling about the size of a 747 and A380 engine... :P
-
4784
Reeeeeaaaaally apologetic about recent inactivity. :P
-
4785
Don't worry, these numbers don't go anywhere
-
4786
TGIF, and all that.
-
4787
I’m excited for the weekend. I’m exhausted. :D
-
4788
Yet you still go flying, a very stressful thing to do
-
4789
Dinner, movie and a nap. My perfect flight. Very relaxing!
-
4790
Very relaxing only because you got a business seat :P
-
4791
It re-affirmed my dislike of bulkhead seats. I’m too tall to sit comfortably in them. I did like having a view of the cockpit while on the ground and dinner was tasty. :D
-
4792
I had dinner, a movie and a nap too this week-end, but I never took off (except in my dreams).

(Rumi saying)
-
4797
Not for me haha
-
4798
Honey is worth more than gold to me
-
4799
You really like honey then!
-
4800
A spoon of honey a day keeps the blues away
-
4801
Greek yoghurt with honey is really yummy!
-
4802
Sure tastes better than Greek yogurt with gold.
-
4803
But greek yoghurt with gold is much more extravagant
-
4804
Has anyone ever had Gold Coffee? I saw it in Abu Dhabi but decided I had better things to spend my money on.
-
4805
Nope, but that sounds exactly like something you'd find in the emirates
-
4806
Absolutely, as long as the money flows freely I'm sure it will continue!

Lots of cats today?
-
4820
Unfortunately not
-
4821
I went to Chicago to see the Air and Water show but it got cut short due to bad weather. :'(
-
4822
Oh no! Did you get to see some cool displays at least?
-
4823

4786
This prolonged inactivity is embarrassing. :P I hope to change that. Too busy though. :(
-
4786
Just pretend to log in once in a while :P
-
4827
I think? Weekend again! Where does the time go...
-
4829
Being busy helps ;)
-
4830
-
4830 I think Matias skipped one, or he may have corrected one.
-
4831
At least some of us can count right haha
-
4832
I wonder if we went back and checked every number would we still be on track?
-
4833
Yes, because the count is reply # plus one :P Very easy
-
4834
-
4835
Oh clever!

No need to think!

Let's get back at it folks, I hope to still be alive by the time we get to 10k
-
4842
Let's go! :P
-
4843
Glad to see we're back in business!
-
4844
Just needed a push
-
4845
Well here's a shove too, then.
-
4846
-
4847
We are approaching the half-way wark to 10,000 and that's a thrill in itself!
-
4849
Yes - maybe we should rename this thread "count to 5000" and celebrate finishing soon? :P
-
4850
Tempting, tempting...
-
4851
Who started this anwyay?
-
4852
Some stable genius, I guess.
-
4853
-
4854
Happy Sunday! (although it's more a Rainday here)
-
4855
Sorry, now I'm the one taking time replying
-
4856
That applies to me more than anyone else :P
-
4857
-
4858
4857 we are getting ahead of ourselves!
-
4858
I have a feeling that more often than not it's me counting wrong
-
4859
Hi. Long time no see. :P
-
4860
You just want to get there faster Matias, which I understand!
Good to see you again Nosy, we haven't seen you since number 4786 - how are things?
-
4861
-
4862
Getting near the halfway mark!
-
4863
Who shall have the honor?
-
4864
Somebody who counts it wrong by mistake :P
-
4865
Sorry about my Discord Matias
-
4866
Onwards we march...
-
4867
Anzatax, you can just make a new account, we'll add you :) You won't be the only one with more than one user there haha

There are several Thunderstrucks on Discord. At the start I had trouble logging in, and now I don't know how to remove the clones of myself.
-
4873
Haha, how did you make so many accounts?
-
4874
No idea. It keeps me up late at night, wondering... :roll:

I think you're right Nosy, Discord was new to me and somehow I initially stumbled on my shoelaces.

"I see the first star" she said, crossing her fingers.
"And what do you wish when you see the first star?"
"I wish to see another star", she said.
(Truman Capote in Master Misery)
-
4885
That's a wish bound to become reality
-
4886
Possibly the most reasonable wish ever made.
-
4887
Unless you live in Los Angeles or New York or something... Too many streetlights :(
-
4888
Where I am, I can only see at most 3 stars in the sky.
-
4889
Where I am, I usually see clouds...
-
4890
Paris is the City of Lights, so very few stars to be seen here either.
Get yourself on top of a mountain, or on a lonesome ship in the middle of the Atlantic, look up at the sky, and marvel.
Lack of seeing stars makes us humans forget who we are, and where we are.
-
4891
We don't have mountains in Denmark hahaha
-
4892
LOL true. You'll have to jump then, or use a ladder!
-
4891
I've been to Australia before, and the stars there are amazing. (Granted I was in a suburb)
-
4894
-
4895
Australia is basically 98% wilderness anyway
-
4896
Would love to visit Australia. But if I ever make it that far, I think New Zealand would be my first choice.
-
4897
Yeah, Australian wildlife is too dangerous
-
4898
Not really in my experience XD.
-
4899
I have no first hand experience, but dinner plate sizes spiders don't sound like fun to me
-
4900
Spiders? Big? Yeah, but not that big. The largest I saw was a 2 inches wide garden spider. Creepy still...
-
4901
You don't see them because they hide in your bed all day
-
4902
Haha
-
4903
Haha
-
4904
4904
-
4905
:P miscounted there.
-
4906
It’s almost December!
-
4907
Why is the forum moved to a different address?
-
4906
4906
It's okay
It's okay :D
-
4909
It was moved because the old host was pretty unreliable. It now sits on a server that will have more AM pieces on it allowing us to integrate it a little better.
We get added bonuses like being part of the airlinemogul.com domain and enhanced security with an SSL connection as you may have noticed with the padlock on the URL.
-
4910
Now it actually looks like Airline Mogul has an official forum haha
-
4911
Good for you guys then!😊
-
4912
It was a long time coming! :lol: Greetings from Spain, took Swiss’s A223 down from ZRH earlier today to MAD. Nice ride!
-
4913
How does the A220 compare from a passenger perspective to a similar sized E190 or E195?
I enjoy those Embraers, but haven't been on the A220 yet.
-
4914
-
4915
The A220 is very similar to the E-Jet series, partly because they were so good, just a little larger in size obviously. Big windows that someone as tall as Matias or I can look out of comfortably. :P Lots of daylight in the cabin too which is cool!
-
4916
That sounds wonderful! Big windows are the best
-
4917
I always end up straining my neck every time I fly a CRJ-200. They designed that thing for children and nothing bigger!
-
4918
Glad the new aircraft designers have you two fellows in mind now!
-
4919
Haha CRJs are for belly-button eyes only
-
4920
Well, they're cosy at least.
-
4921
Nice analogy Matias! :)
Yeah it’s pretty cosy, helps make small routes possible!
-
4922
I like the ERJ more, 1+2 seating is nice
-
4923
Embraer make good airplanes! I wonder how popular the E2 will be.
-
4924
Competing against a new design it's efficiency vs purchase price, I guess?
-
4925
-

4927
Massive strikes in France. A favorite pastime here, but this one is bigger than what we've seen in a while.
-
4928
Do people just stay home since so much is impacted or do employers expect people to come in regardless of the challenges?
-
4929
Why are they striking this time?
-
4930
1 - To keep it simple: they're striking mainly because of pension plan reforms. The government wants to extend the retirement age by several years (+ loss of several other benefits)
2 - Paris has been blocked. I go everywhere by bicycle anyway so it doesn't affect me so much. But many people are working from home, for the types of jobs for which it is possible to do so. Country pretty much at a standstill since yesterday; we will see how long this will last.
-
4931
What's the retirement age right now?
-
4932
Well that's a complicated question. Average is 62 years, I think (which is already an increase from a few years ago).
But currently, different jobs have different retirement ages. Unions have fought hard for this for years, and it depends on the job.
Train drivers like you have a lower retirement age, because decades ago the job had more danger than nowadays. Metro (subway) drivers have also a low retirement age, because they consider that working years underground in the dark merits an earlier retirement age. Same for police, for school teachers, etc. For instance school teachers (of which several of my friends are), say that it would be so difficult to handle 30 teenagers or kids, when the teacher is 65 years of age. Which is understandable. Generational gap, etc...
There are like 40+ different retirement ages according to the job, and the current government wants to standardize this throughout. Unions and employees are not happy about that.
Reagan killed most unions in the USA decades ago, but here in France they are still protected and alive and kicking! And personally, I support them as long as they remain peaceful. The French have always fought for their rights, since 1789 at least. A few heads were chopped off, back in the day.
What's retirement age in Denmark, is it so complicated?
-
4933
I find it a reasonable quest for the government to simplify rules and retirement ages.
In Denmark there is a national retirement fund paid by the taxpayers. The retirement age for that is 67 (I think), but will probably increase for my generation. Other private pension funds have different ages, but it is uncommon for people to retire before the age of 60.
Retirement age is not written into union-workplace-agreements (as far as I know) since it is basically just the national retirement age that is followed.
This might change though, the new government wants to try to make a differentiated retirement age based on how many years a person has worked (i.e. a carpenter starts working at 18 but a doctor maybe not until age 25) to make it more fair than just one retirement age.
The way unions are handled in the US is horrible... What is interesting to note is that Denmark doesn't have a law stating minimum wages, rather, they are all decided in negotiations with the unions. That makes workers feel ownership over the rules - they helped make them. Even if a workplace doesn't officially follow union agreements, they will usually go along with them. Strikes are uncommon, but happen once in a while (just not as disruptive as in France! You guys love strikes!).
In theory a company could just give a 1€ hourly wage in Denmark, perfectly legal, but nobody would work or buy from them.
-
4934
Thanks for the detailed & interesting reply.
We learn much more than just about airplanes here!
-
4935
It was random rambling, not much structure to it :P
-
4936
Well at least these ramblings are taking us a little closer to 10,000
-
4937
Almost half way there!
-
4938
I think running a marathon would be easier than what we are trying to achieve here!
-
4938
I'll die if I run a marathon. I won't die counting haha
-
4939
Has anyone here run a marathon?
-
4939
Definitely not me
-
4940
Me neither. I ran around the block a couple of times though.
-
4991
Poor you!
-
4943
It is very popular amongst people at work (all age ranges), I feel like I never tried when I was younger and probably should have.
-
4944
You're still young, Stephen!
-
4945
Very true! My grandmother hit 100, I still have more than three times my current age to go before I hit that. :D
-
4946
Age is just a number, what counts is how wise you are
-
4947
And the older you get the wiser you get. Something to look forward to!
-
4948
Not always though...
-
4949
Uh oh :D
-
4950
-
4951
One of my best friends ran more than 10 marathons, and he smokes up to the night before! Don't know how he manages...
But he has also run two "Marathon du Médoc" which is in the Médoc wine region. And that's a special one because you run the full distance (but slower than usual) and every few km you stop at a castle, taste some wine, eat oysters and other things, dance for a bit to various bands or orchestras, and then you continue to the next stop. The contestants wear costumes too. It's a riot, and if ever I run one, it will be that one.
----
100 is a respectable age! my grandma just turned 96, and she is still a fun and happy lady, although she must take things pretty slow physically.
-
4952
That sounds like it's the toughest of all marathons! Impressive!
-
4954
We skipped a number somewhere or other.
-
4955
Thanks
-
4956
Right now, there's something much more wonderful that I'm counting towards: the days until Christmas!
-
4957
Well, my Christmas is on the 22nd, I'm working the 24th :P
-
4958
Matias would be proud of me, I am sitting on a train headed home to the West of Ireland. Back up to Dublin next week for Christmas though!
-
4959
Flying to Vienna on Sunday for Christmas (just for a few days).
-
4960
I enjoyed my few days in Austria in early September, always a good time!
-
4961
I'm going travelling for Christmas too - driving my train :P
-
4962
Christmas is over, back to the important things in life, counting to 10,000!
-
4963
And playing AM :D
-
4964
and guessing aircrafts
-
4965
Ah yes, finding aircraft for other people to guess :P
-
4966
My fear of guess the aircraft is making it too easy :P
-
4967
Come on, join the fun
-
4968
Happy New Year to everyone!
-
4969
Happy 2020!
-
4970
Any New Year’s resolutions?
-
4971
A very happy new year to all of you!
My new year's resolution is to improve my Italian. My girlfriend is from Italy, and her parents speak only that language. At the moment we communicate in a strange mixture of French, Spanish, sign language and smiles...
-
4972
I don't have a new year's resolution... No promises to break :D
-
4973
Sooooo sorry for not checking this forum in such a long while. T_T
-
4974
Woooo! First post in more than a month! Welcome back :D
-
4975
We really have been slacking...
-
4976
Not me :D
-
4977
Hi again - just popped in for a look :P
-
4978
Whoa, somebody is here?!?
-
4979
Glad to see we all had better things to do in the past few months than count to 10,000 :roll:
-
4980
Whoa, somebody's here?
-
4981
Yeah! just figure we should at least make it to 5000. No rush.
-
4982
Slow and steady
-
4983
Forwards motion, one step & one number at a time...
-
4984
Let's get to 5000 before 2021!
-
4985
Been a while since I last visited this place.
-
4986
Three's a crowd!
-
4987
What does four make?
-
4988
Covid-19 super spreader event?
-
4989
Can we make it to 5000 before the end of the year? :D
-
4990
If we all believe, we should be able to do it!
And Santa's Sleigh is back, what a wonderful time of the year!
-
4991
Haha yes it is! A fun feature from years gone by I wanted to bring back. I had as much fun building the infrastructure as anything else. Santa deliveries the sleigh then after Christmas the grinch will come to take it away!
-
4992
Noooo, I want to keep mine! :P
-
4993
But Santa will be tired, he will want to go back to the North Pole!
-
4994
Stephen active on the forum two days in a row? :O
-
4995
Only 5 more posts until I can go back into hibernation. :D
-
4996
So close, so near, so proximate, so tangential, so imminent! Let's do this!
-
4996
Oops, can we make it?
-
4997
Almost, but not quite
In any case, best wishes to you all for the upcoming year!
-
4998
Well... We tried...
-
4999
Sooo close
-
5001
You were the lucky one to get 5000, Stephen, but I really messed it up by counting 4996 twice hahahaha I'm so sorry
-
5002
It's all your fault! :D
-
5003
I'll try to ruin 10000 the same way hahaha
-
5004
How long will it take to get to 10,000? :D
-
5005
I'd say before 2030 :D
-
5006
I'm sure 2030 will be here sooner than we think
-
5007
-
5008

It's been a while :P 5009
