Title: [JOIN!] Realistic World V2
Post by: pilotguy121a on March 28, 2011, 12:02:08 am
Realistic World V2.0

Description: This is a continuation of “Realistic World” in which players emulate real world scheduling. Very few airlines today fly to one destination, once a day. Though it is the easiest and most profitable way to play Airline Mogul, it makes the game boring after a few game years. But, this game is different. We have a group of players who all agree to use realistic approaches on their airlines. What does this mean? Well the biggest is that we don’t use one time frequency flights (excluding international). Instead, we try for 3-4 flights per day to a single destination. Why in the world would we do this? A few reasons. One, it gives Airline Mogul an new challenging appeal. Second, it slows the game down. Third, its FUN! We don’t base success off how valuable an airline is, rather how well they accomplished realistic scheduling and aircraft usage.

Guidelines/Options/How to achieve realism

1. Use of 0.5 Frequency and 1 Frequency is frowned  :( upon heavily, except in long haul operations. One ‘loophole’ to this is that if you serve the same airport with 4 different airplanes at 1 Frequency, this counts at 4 Frequency.

2. Use of ATRs (or other regional turboprops) should be limited to routes under 500nm. The reason for this is airlines don’t use them for 3000nm flights that take 7 hours. If you wish to fly longer-range regional routes, please use jet aircraft like the ERJ-145LR or CRJ-200LR.

3. Fleet commonality, although it doesn’t have a purpose in the game, provides realism. When I say commonality, I don’t expect strictly Airbus or Boeing. Instead, when an airline has 1 of each airplane from 5 manufactures. We see it all the time in normal AM games and it is really nice to see an airlines in the old Realistic World that have massive amounts of a single aircraft type and what not.

4. Use reasonably sized aircraft for particular routes*. For example, ORD-ATL is a high demanding route. Therefore, using an ERJ-145LR probably isn’t the best choice (yes I know regional airlines have this same route). Instead, an A320 or 737-800 would be a better choice.

5. Regional service. Regional service is extremely profitable in AM. We expect that most airlines start off with regional service and expand into “legacy” services. Nothing really bad about this, except we have to ensure we transition to using correctly sized aircraft for particular routes. Also, if you want to start a regional airline under the same airline name, please announce it in the “Airline News Statements” located in the in-game forums.
    
     a.   To further elaborate on the Regional airlines, if your airline name is B Airline then you should announce B Express in the Airline News Statements. You don’t have to, but it would provide insurance that your airline will be expanding into legacy services and provide added realism
    
     b.   Also, it should be noted, YOU DON’T have to expand to legacy services. Feel free to remain as a regional carrier, just provide realistic frequencies (ORD-ATL would probably be served 6-10 times daily with a ERJ-145).
              i.    I also proposed this in the in-game forum, if anyone two players want to join together to perform legacy/regional carriers, feel free to do so

6. Above all, especially if you played in the previous world, use your best judgment. These are merely guidelines and you will not be deleted unless you are really not complying or following anything and ruining the game for others.

*See 5a, 5b, and 5bi
#5 was italicized because I was going to delete it. Not sure it adds anything. I just want to ensure that if you are going to do LEGACY operations you use larger planes. If you are going to play as a regional only, use regional aircraft only. If you wanna play as both, announce it.

I know it seems like a lot to understand, but really it is common sense stuff. Don't sweat the details, just play the game like you would and keep these things in mind. USING REALISTIC SCHEDULING AND AIRCRAFT TYPE ARE THE MAIN POINTS.

I'll definitely joining this type of world again. Don't know what airline I'll be but sign me up!

Post by: East West Airlines on March 28, 2011, 01:57:22 am
I have two questions... 1. Do we have to use real life airline names? If we do, do we have to plan similar routes to them?
2. Will there be a password? I definitely would like in on this world!

Post by: AirbusGuy350 on March 28, 2011, 02:06:03 am
We don't have to be a real life airline (you can't do it in AM anymore because of copyrights) but you create your own airline that is realistic.

If any airline wants to partner with me for regional ops, let me know. The CEO could be inexperienced or highly advanced. If inexperienced, I'll give route suggestions (only suggestions, mind you), but you decide how to run AC, frequencies, and so on. If experienced, run your own airline and I won't interfere. I'll probably be in the USA as Global United Air out of SFO.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: gopats1479 on March 28, 2011, 02:37:59 am
Can you choose the engine type for the A319s, because I suggest the 4000nm variant. They would serve well to Australasian, South American, and African carriers plus give a little bit extra range.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: pilotguy121a on March 28, 2011, 03:30:32 am
Yes there will be a password, i'll update the main post. I will be updating the first post as we move closer to the starting period.

As for the A319s, no I can't choose the engines unfortunately. I'm also open other aircraft, 737-700HGW?

I'm going to be Central American Airways, operating in Central America with our first hub in Mexico City.

I am going to be East West Airlines preferably based out of SFO but its not ideal. If you want to work something out where I have a different base on the west coast such as SEA, PDX, or LAX, that would be fine. But I definitely would like to be partnered with you, maybe for like a regional/legacy tagteam or something. I'm mkinda inbetween inexperienced and advanced so some pointers would be cool.

Get me in as Interflug based in Frankfurt. I will be attempting to replicate Lufthansa's network at FRA, MUC, DUS, and TXL, with realistic frequencies, as well as Air Berlin's network in those cities
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: pilotguy121a on March 28, 2011, 02:12:15 pm
Starting A/C could be any of the following:
-A319x5
-ERJ170LRx5
-B737-700HGWx4
-ERJ145LRx5

I have a feeling I'm going to stick to the A319s they are versatile, popular, and make good money. 737HGW would be for range.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: norge on March 28, 2011, 03:18:02 pm
Maybe it would be easier to select their own starting plane? It is a bit unrealstic that all airlines start with same plane, and the same amount. For some airlines it would be hard to fit their 'needs'. An airline starting in a small airport could have problems starting with a big amount of large planes. A smaller plane would be better then, while the larger airlines can choose their bigger plane.
Just my suggestion.

Anyway, I would like to join as vinzaJet out of Rome (FCO). (note that the name is a combination out of three words, da Vinci, pizza and Jet!  :lol:)
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: pilotguy121a on March 28, 2011, 03:50:05 pm
I would if I could, but you all airlines start with the same airplane. There is no way around that. Unless I put starting cash 250m+, which would cost way to much in terms of making a world.

Post by: 1993matias on March 28, 2011, 09:49:14 pm
The Airbus should be fine. If you can't use it enough, lease it out.

I'd like to join as BalticAir out of Riga.

Hey,
East West and I have decided to partner as Global United Air and Global United Express. We have decided to change our starting base from SFO to IAH because of location issues. I will form the legacy carrier as East West forms the regional carrier. Together, we hope to be one of the best legacy/regional partnerships AM has ever seen.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: AirbusGuy350 on March 30, 2011, 12:56:17 am
I'm going to be Atlantic Air and will be a regional northeast airline out of boston and La Guardia. I'm looking for a mainline carrier or carriers to contract with to serve small northeast airports.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: BINDU on March 30, 2011, 02:20:19 am
@Airbus Guy 350... Looks like I will be switching over to BOS/LGA for my hubs!!! I will join as Nor'easter based in BOS/LGA wherever you choose. We can work out some sort of arrangment, but my idea was that I'd run the stuff to airports with >750,000 pax and you the rest?
 
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: AirbusGuy350 on March 30, 2011, 02:29:13 am
Sounds great bindu! You should operate out of JFK too so you can do mainline. I don't know how realistic we want to get with this world but La Guardia has a 1,500nm max distance on flights in and out except on Saturdays and for a denver flight that was operating before the rule was put in place.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2

Yeah so idk if you've already changed my name... buuut instead of East West out of SFO, I wil now be, Gobal United Express!

Can we get a list of participating airlines? That would be nice, because it's hard to keep track on so many airline names :P
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: pilotguy121a on March 30, 2011, 01:53:21 pm
Yeah, we can get a list. I'll put it in the main post and keep up with it as more airlines announce their intent to join.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: BINDU on March 30, 2011, 01:56:24 pm
@ Airbus Guy 350 . Let's start at LGA where I'll restrict myself to 1500nm or less routes. Let's also do hubs @ JFK, BOS, PHL, IAD and DCA?
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: pilotguy121a on March 30, 2011, 02:10:11 pm

Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: BINDU on March 30, 2011, 11:50:27 pm
OK so I think I've worked out a system....


The year is 2003, so at the start the mainline a/c is going to be A319s. Why don't we start at opposite bases, IE: me at JFK and you at LGA, with A319s running mainline. Once you earn enough cash to purchase 5x Embraer ERJ 145XRs (110 million Euros) of any variant, shutter the LGA base and sell me the A319s, as well as shift over to JFK. We'll go from there. The way I'm looking to operate is A319s, A321s, and then eventually A332, and A342 mainline, which you can help out with as you'll have more cash. I'll operate to 750k+ airports and you to all of those below that threshold. On the a/c side, lets stick to E145s @ JFK, MCO, and CLT, and E140s @ LGA, BOS, and IAD. For routes of distance > 1000nm, use E170s for realism sakes. Frequency wise, airports with <500k pax, use 2x, 500k-750k 3x. For me, it'll be 2x to <10,000,000, 3x to <30,000,000, 2x A321 for airports >30,000,000

Are we going to be doing the same alliance rules? I would be interested in making an alliance with Bindu and Airbus, but Global United was going to make a base at IAD. We could change it to Newark if you like.

Well the plan was to create this world when the current world ends. It is scheduled to end 05-03-11. I'll start this world 04-26-11. I currently don't have enough tokens, and if by that date I don't have enough, I will purchase how many ever are needed. If 25 days is too long of a wait, I'm sorry. I just don't want the current world to die prematurely in favor of this new one.

Sorry for those who thought this was going to start the first week in April.

Post by: gopats1479 on April 02, 2011, 12:46:34 pm
I would much rather have EWR because we can make more there than at BWI. Plus, EWR would be a much better location because it is closer to Europe.

So we have a Kiwi, half Kiwi (VAmerica) and an Aussie (Myself) all with brilliant knowledge of the Australiasian market. This is going to be epic.

That being said I am open to negosiations about smaller bases and focus cities since there are only 4 (5 if you include Perth) airports in the region that can handle more than one airline comfortably.

Hi,

I would like to join this world please, if there is still room.  I have been wanting to run an operation that reflects Great Lakes Airlines.  For those that aren't familiar with Great Lakes Airlines, they are a turboprop airline which runs regional flights to small cities mostly in the US west.  Most of these flights are subsidized through the essential air service program.

My airline is going to be Western Airways.  I'd like to hub out of Denver then Billings to start, and service US cities primarily west of the Mississippi River using smaller, turboprop aircraft.  The cities which I am looking at serving are cities such as Cheyenne and Laramie in Wyoming, Page, Arizona, Glendive, Havre, and Glasgow Montana, etc.

If anyone would like to link up with a regional carrier, let me know.
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2

I want to start discussions for an alliance. I know that my subsidiaries will all join. I also gather that Bindu and Airbus could join as well. Anyone else interested? It would most likely be called the Global United Group. Rules will be posted on in-game forum once world starts.

Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: Dobbins on April 04, 2011, 05:42:39 am

Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: East West Airlines on April 04, 2011, 06:05:03 am
Unfortunately you people who want to sell your aircraft right away might have to wait a few days and even then you would have to sell for very cheap! Because Everyone starts off with 1,000,000 I think. Espeacially for someone like Dobbins, selling all five of his aircraft might take some time if he wanted to get some big bucks for them. Although, if anyone wants to sell them for mega cheap prices I'd be more than happy to take those aircraft right off your hands   ;)
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: Dobbins on April 04, 2011, 06:35:09 am
Realistically it would be best to sell my aircraft for the cost of a turboprop, that way I could buy turboprops and start with those, but I suppose that isn't very realistic for whoever buys it.

I check Wikipedia, and Great Lakes has a few EMB 120s for their longer routes, but most of there fleet is made up of Raytheon Beechcraft Beech 1900D Aircrafts.  We will see what else is out there.

Sounds great to me.  My original intention was to dominate the small city market across the us west, so I would gladly do a combination of great lakes and horizon.  I also know that United Airlines runs connection service to Pennsylvania and the Appalaichan region out of Washington Dulles.  Several of these flights are Essential Air Serivce flights.  Your thoughts?
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: gopats1479 on April 05, 2011, 10:15:20 pm
Instead of Dulles, we are doing Newark. Because Atlantic is doing Dulles, we agreed to take over Continental's hub at Newark. You might operate Continental Connection flights out of Newark, but most likely not. I think that you should be a Western regional carrier and East West be the Eastern regional carrier. Here is the hubs list:
Mainline:
Houston
Chicago-O'Hare
Newark
San Francisco
Denver
Los Angeles

West:
Houston (Connection and United Express)
Denver (SkyWest and Great Lakes)
Seattle (larger AC)
San Francisco
Portland
Los Angeles

East:
Houston (Continental Express)
Newark
Chicago-O'Hare
Denver (all other regional carriers)
Washington-National (ERJ170s)
Cleveland

Tell me if this doesn't divide the power equally. I think it does. Essentially, you get all the Pacific flights and East West gets...well, all the rest. I gave you the West hubs because they have fewer flights to start with, so you have more room for creativity. The East hubs have tons of flights, and I split Houston equally.

Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: Dobbins on April 05, 2011, 11:20:33 pm
I think that looks fine.  I really don't see doing a lot with the Houston Hub, at least not on my own, although anything we want as a team I'll put in.  I do think that we should consider Salt Lake City or Minneapolis, or are we intentionally staying away from Delta Hubs?  Delta flies a large number of flights from both of these airports, but the airports you have listed are all United Airlines Hubs and Continental Airlines Hubs, excpet for Seattle and Portland who are Alaskan Airlines hubs.  Any interested, or are we already hub-limited?
Title: Re: [Coming Soon] Realistic World V2
Post by: gopats1479 on April 06, 2011, 01:32:51 am
I think we'll stick with future United hubs and the others. Not Delta. I think that if we were to move to MSP, it wouldn't make as much money for us. Same with SLC. We are also maxed-out on hubs if we do my arrangement. Most hubs (except for Seattle, Portland, Washington-National, and Cleveland) are team hubs. The others are regional hubs to help strengthen our presence throughout the entire US. The Houston hub would only be a team hub, but I might go beyond the destinations from Continental. It would also be our largest combined hub. We would all start at Houston too.

Is it okay if I join as "Villair - China Southeast Airlines"? I will be based in Xiamen Gaoqi (XMN).

I would say that a smaller starting aircraft would be more realistic. Something between a CR7 and a A318 would be more realistic. I mean, some airlines might, but most doesn't start up with A319s.

Of course, the restriction is in place to guard against the opposite, using small planes on high demanding routes if your a mainline carrier. If your a regional carrier, frequency should be 6-8 if using an RJ on a high demand route.

You can use whatever aircraft you want on regional routes (though try to make it realistic, IE not flying an ATR for 3000nm).

Post by: steex on April 18, 2011, 05:51:10 am
I'm way late to the party, I've been bogged down and mostly away from AM for a while.  My original intention was to create an airline based in the central Asian states, but I've already decided to dismantle Rising Sun to fund that venture with what's left of Realistic World V1.

So, instead, I am planning to operate as Grand Tiger Airways in India as a partner to therood's Four Lions Airways.  At this time, we expect to operate separate hubs and not have a direct mainline/regional relationship, but instead be more like the pairing of Air India and Indian Airlines in the transitional period of consolidation by the Indian government.  Some routes will be shared, but we will each primarily focus on different markets while sharing the single goal of providing the best air service to the people of India.

I imagine we would be open to joining an alliance with other airlines at some point, but it would likely be under the condition that we retain use of a large proportion of the alliance slots at Indian airports to facilitate our shared operations given that we will not have the same hubs.

Hey BTWs, I was wondering, I know we decided on the concept of Northeastern Air...

But how would you feel about perhaps doing a simulation of real world Delta Airlines....

You, the regional wing, would do regional services @ ATL, DTW, MSP, and regional + mainline at MEM, CVG, and LGA

I would do mainline at ATL, DTW, MSP, as well as mainline + regional at JFK, LAX, and SLC


Otherwise, we could stick with the Northeastern thingie

Delte Airlines is very interested in a purchase/lease agreement :)

I can give them Alaska flights, but we get Qantas and Air New Zealand. If the Australian airlines want to create an alliance with us, we would be thrilled, as both mainline carriers at LAX will have flights to that region.

I'll think about it... you'll probably have to go through Air Kiwi aswell.

I have a question: If my aircraft have some spare time, but not enough to go multi-frequency to some close destination, can I fly to that destination once daily? IRL Most airlines (specially LCCs) want to maximize aircraft ultilisation.

IRL intracontinental aircraft are usually parked when they land at around midnight, until they take off early in the morning. So they are usually idle for 5 - 6 hours a day. Nobody wants to come to the airport at 3 in the morning. Mainly long-haulers and cargo planes fly at that time of the night.

Thanks pilotguy for such an awesome concept and putting it to work :D. I can't wait to join! I think I will be able to join by shortly, as I am waiting for tokens. By the way, you might want to mention serving all the airports in one city from the same hub isn't very likely as one of your rules so to speak.
Title: Re: [JOIN!] Realistic World V2
Post by: steex on May 06, 2011, 04:02:37 am
I agree with the above post - except where realistic (such as ORD/MDW, JFK/LGA/EWR, etc.), we should avoid serving multiple airports in the same city.  I think we should also be sticking to realistic cities for service.  If an airport has no scheduled commercial service in real life, we shouldn't be scheduling multiple daily services there from our hubs.  This is especially the case for airports that the game lists with tiny passenger levels...by the time you put in a couple daily CRJ's into an airport listed with 100 passengers, you're suggesting that you will serve an entire year's worth of passengers every day!

Some of us *cough London *cough are providing an option to get from one point in the city to another via the great service of Fluffy Flyways versus the London Underground.  ^-^ Who wants darkness when they can have the big blue above?  ;)

The traffic in Shanghai is horrible. If takes ages to get from one point of the city to another! I just save the population  :lol:

I have to say, this world has been the most enjoyable playing experience I've had on AM.

Even if a founding member has hacked the DB and given himself billions in interest free loans, putting himself out of reach.  ;)






I kid of course, don't permaban me.

Lol bro no worries, I just had the advantage of Atlanta, and smart strategy (the CRJ 100 is awesome and very cheap). And, I'll probably be bankrupt by the end of the game. My maintenance is already ~45% of my $165 million DOC and with a fleet of >700 planes, I can't replace them all.

Ugh, don't remind me. My MX fees are a bit less than yours percentage-wise, but they're slowly growing. Being that there's only 3 years left...I wonder if I can make it without replacing...things don't look too pretty.

Well my current aircraft order figures to be my last. After this, I'll basically just be propping up alliance member operations

I do enjoy this world much more than others, but wish we could do something even more realistic.  Given how few join a realistic world, though, I'm sure a world with even more restrictive "rules" would have hardly anyone participating.

Very entertaining to say the least. I think the 'new realistic world #1991" or whatnot would be fun as well...just don't have the time for it. I've sort of packed off this world as well as life has gone a bit hectic as of late....just hope my cash stockpile holds me over until the end as my MX fees are rapidly climbing.

I'm not sure. The next two months I've got quite a few things to do, not sure if I'll have time to play around online for an hour here and there or not. I'd like to join the world Dobbins created, but I won't be competitive until the fall...so I may just wait until then to join.
Title: Re: [JOIN!] Realistic World V2
Post by: GQfluffy on June 25, 2011, 02:11:46 am
And the more I think about it...the next world I join I'm going to do regional only. Just a random thought...I'm not sure that'll work too well in Dobbins's world...we'll see.

I would love to do another realistic world but unfortunately I don't have the tokens to make one.

Post by: 1993matias on August 15, 2011, 03:24:18 pm
I would love one too, but I'm beginning school again soon, so I doubt I'll have enough time. Maybe sometime in September?

PS: I have 170 tokens, I might have enough by September :)

Ok so I have been playing my first world for about a week in real time and I am not liking the 1 freq routes.  I am definately down with this world.  I plan to operate out of the US with my hub in Houston, Texas.  Can't wait for this to start up.
