Title: Bases
Post by: iranair777 on July 08, 2007, 09:09:46 pm
Are bases still under construction or are they not working for me cause I can't get anything in the drop down box or do you have to have a certain amount of aircraft and gates to that airport to create a focus city/base?

You need to have atleast 4 gates at the airport.

And I assume its to have atleast four gates in your Origin, like Europe. To creat a Base outside Europe is not possible, is it?

And Pierre, that is correct. This will be something that wont be the case with Alliances, so it will help to have alliance members throughout the world as you will be able to setup some routes from their bases.

So we can't have a base in any other continent except for the one where you started from? If thats the case there goes my dream of taking over iran :(

To simply put it, Nup.
What the problem is with it, is that if airline X had a base at MAN, and decided to open bases in JNB, NRT, SYD, JFK & SCL, then airlines A, B, C, D, E (all of which are regional airlines) and airlines F, G, H, I, J (which are major continental airlines) would be cut down, and lose a great amount of profit.

This is where alliances will come in, you will be able to use your alliance partners hubs in other continents.

*Gets everything* But what if the alliance airlines don't have a hub in that country, cause at the moment, there is no permanent airline in iran, but its all international carriers at the international airports, and I was hoping a can fill that gap in Iran so I can offer domestic flights in Iran. Thats basically why i added new airports in Iran. I know I'm being selfish (:oops:) But i've always wanted to start routes in Iran in airline tycoon games like this, even in the payware version of airline tycoon 1 and 2, but havn't been able to, but airline Mogul has given me, should i say like frank in educating rita, 'A breath of fresh air' :lol:

You'd have to base your airline in the Middle East. It's really all you can do to fly all over Iran :wink:

haha what a guess, I actually guessed it before the james bond and british thing. When I first started airline mogul, I thought you were the Stephen from VATEIR, then after browsing the forums I realised it. Then began to see more of the VATEIR guys poppin up and a few people from VATSIM.
Gotta say its a great game mate, I've been hooked for the past few weeks. It's cut into my controlling on VATSIM time.
