Hello, welcome to the discussion of AM.. (next round) Need help? Post it here
Edit: Discuss about the next round here!
Rules Apply on my thread :D :
No Spamming
No Flamming
No posts about things other than "Next Round"
Still cannot believe that people viewed this thread more the the Sticky above this one..
-
About 17 days I'd say.
-
:P ... Ok
-
are alliances and all the mods done to this level gonna be transfered to the next?
-
Mods yes, alliances probably not.
-
Mods yes, alliances probably not.
It's too bad I couldn't keep some of the aircraft I bought. :o
Although that would definitely lead to a disadvantage for those with large fleets.

Yah, I'd really like to see everyone flying around with their 77W fleet in the '60s :roll:
Naw, that would just be ridiculous!
-
A new round = a new start. Everyone on the same level so it makes for interesting results.
-
Sorry, but I have never gone through the transition to a new round before, what happens during the reset? Do we get to choose a new starting airport and what aircraft do we start with? Also, what year do we restart at?
-
will we got to 2007?, if we do it would be very long
I believe that it should be a shorter game, since routes won´t so long as now, so we should cover our available airport range faster
-
The next round would be 1960~1970. Don't know what aircraft we will start with yet (ask d1-3508). You get to choose a new base airport, although if you want to change continent, you would have to go through an admin.
Edited by d1-3508, to reflect the truth :wink:
(edit by dktc: hey dl-3508, shouldn't you be out of office? :wink: )
-
We stop at 1970 in next round? No continue till present days??
-
Yes, and then from 1970 to 1980, etc. etc.
-
Well if people want we can run straight through but look at the game now, its only been 6 years ingame and imagine 46!
-
46 would be horrible... new airlines would die before they even create their second route :D ?
-
Would this mean we would lose an aircraft such as Concorde! If so thats horrible but i see what you are saying about 46 game years. See if i can become the largest airline this time round. Doubt it since there are so many others with more experience than me. Oh well i can try!
-
No airline should have a concorde in this round, we cleared out quite a lot. Concordes will be available to purchase when we reach its service entry year however.
-
I know i was talking about future ages. I wish i had a Concorde now but i dont. :D
-
Future ages fly the aircraft of the era, those that become available during that period or are available at the start of the period.
the next age (if it is 1960s) would then likely include aircraft from between 1941 and 1969 as options, as in AM most aircraft are assumed to have 20 years of production by the manufacturers.
-
This is my first round. In the next one can we keep the same name and ID number?
-

ID is always unchanged.
Name, you can keep it or change it as you like. (YOu could even change it in the middle of a round... or every single day :roll: )
-
Great I like my id number 2020 I can see clearly now :)
-
I would like to continue till present days, because I don't want to always change my plan....
-
I'm sure if you really wanted an ID that is currently free it would be possible to move to that at the reset.
-

shhh... you are getting us more work :P
-
I'd love to have 2222, 222 or 2000 or 22 or 88 or 8888 or 888 .. ya...if possible :D
-
Although from an aviation standpoint the IDs 7500 and 7700 should be on a black list. Anyone who knows about squawk codes will realise why. Only ID changes would be done at resets, means updating 2 items. A plane and a row in the user table... Quite easy. :D
-
I want 7000. Preferably EICK - EIDW in a 738 with a crash on landing to ruin the controller's night.

Squawking 7000 with a 738? Your not doing yourself any favours there with the whole professionalism. ;)
-
7700E ;)
-
I'd be damned if anyone got 4444. :P dktc would know why ;)
-

how about 184? :P

I'll take 184 :P
-
Can I have my old one (145) back. 3877 is hard to remember, unlike my AE one, its nearly the same both ways, 12720!
-
=O More posts than i thought this thread would reach...
So can i really get 2222 next round :P ?
-
Hehe EXT. Glad to see you back. I remember way back when the 200-odd ish was really big :D
ID: 50 for the win :D
-
You know that I am better than you. I crushed you all 3 times in a row on the last version, my secret - doind routes 1 x per day from somewhere with large passenger flowthrough (Heathrow, Stansted, Antalya, Munich, Oslo) as well as a few because I know the airports (Valladolid, Exeter, St Mary's, Venice Treviso) as long as it is 1 frequency a day, you got the most money per frequency than if you did multi frequencies, which negates the gate costs.

How to make money in AM: "Mow the lawn"
Although the next round is tentatively 10 game years, I guess the mods can monitor the game situation and come to a decision at around 1963-64 on the actual length of the round. At the moment, one can expand in AM much faster than the blue site so 10 years might actually be overkill!
I also personally think peoples IDs should be kept as is. The demand for ID changes seem higher than expected and it would take valuable time away from our developers doing a trivial task when they could be doing something useful like developing this game further (or watching Chelsea killing Arsenal :P).

Well, it's positive that that's going to happen, but im sure the admins will fix it somehow.. since there's so many updates?
:roll:
-
What about airport data? If we start a new round in '60s, will they change? And demand, will it change?
-
The answer is no... it would take a lot of time to see what airports existed in the 60's..?

I like your usage of the Blue Site. :P
And @EXT: Let's not spot our weaknesses, but instead, crush some ID500+ instead :D

For those that dont know thats GizGiz acting like an immature brat. :roll:

666 FTW! :twisted:
Personally, I'd just leave them as is. Why create work for yourself?
-
can you please give us a fixed ingame and/or out of game date when the round will cease?
it will allow to plan for orders and new planes and give people something to plan with.
right now i can not order new widebody because i dont know if they ever arrive!
-
In game. Dec. 21 2007. give or take a few hours.
Edited by d1-3508, 28/09/07: Will, you should know there's 24 days in a month :lol:
-
So if I want to switch continents next round, do I tell you now or wait till the reset?
-
I think it's better if you tell Stephen now.. :D
-
I'll be modifying the system (user continents) so that there's a setting to choose any city...
hopefully there won't be need to ask stephen anymore (though feel free to pester the bugger all you like).

So do you mean any city around the world?
-
what aircraft are we gonna be flying in the next round? Considering this is 1960-70 is it gonna be some old props like DC-6s and DC-7's mixed with newer jets like the 707, DC-8, Convair 880 and Comet?

Note: this is a quote from an old thread..
Stephen M:
"Remember, I've never said whats for definate. Wink
Some planes that are possibilities now since looking them up:
* Avro York
* AS.57 Ambassador
* Vickers Viscount
* Vickers VC.1 Viking
* Sud-Est Armagnac
* Tupolev Tu-70 (Never actually produced)
* Boeing 307 (377 might be a tad big)
* Convair 240
* Douglas DC-4
* Douglas DC-6
* Lockheed Constellation
All aircraft are from 1940-1949 era.
One thing we can do is have a choice, and have certain types per continent. So if starting in Europe you get European planes, in the US local planes etc."
But i suggest DC-3 :D
-
I have to say that the Tupolev 114 looks like a very interesting plane.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-114

Tis a real shame that alliances arn't coming back :( I had some plans to start one with my friend in the game

The alliance function would still be there. Just that you have to start the alliances again (ie the data of alliance would probably not get transferred to the next round).

I know this is off-topic but Stephen's forums passed the 555 registered user mark.. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

12 more days (excluding today Wednesday Sept. 26 07) till the reset!!! And MrOrange wouldnt be able to deliver all my aircrafts in time lol
-
So in 2008 (real time) as well
I might not get the honour
to serve my guests in
30 Year-Old 727's ?!?
That's not realistic!
-

Well my 707 and 727 had been taken back 2 years ago...
I think in this game we sometimes play realistically sometimes not
We have to get used to this

what? but this round is 2000-07 right? and this page http://208.68.236.98/airlinemogul/view_all_aircraft.php says the 707 was phased out in 1977, and the 727 in 1987, so how could you have gotten them? You're not allowed to keep aircraft from the previous era are you?
-
So I said we sometimes play realistically sometimes not
In real life airline can keep classic planes for any reasons
In this game, we can't simply because they were from the decades ago
-
There is some talk that Turkey is going to be part of the middle east next round. Is that true? :?
-
Yes

Thank you. I'll be in town all week!!!

whats the sense, now people say "i am bored reset early 1 week". next time, 1 week before the early reset, people will say whats the point, lets reset early.
it is about having a consistent plan to work with, if you have end of the round at end of 2007, i am sure many people still had expansion of planes in order till now.
look at kfai and momo, who are fighting for first spot, both still have way over 100 773ER on order, there is alot of money in this planes to try to change battle, and even if not, why make game stop?
and not only for top players, i have started in late 2003 of round but have motivation to get in top30, i am still recieving over 50 widebody before summermonths to increase profits even more, to get my top30 goal after late start.
game might be boring for some, but for i think same amount of players or even more, its not over already. just look at vote in other area.
-
I'm laughing away to myself here. Wait till next round when its 4 months real time. :lol:
-
Haha, the battle for Asia must be pretty interesting for these two Hongkongers at the top! Me being a Hongkonger myself, I wish to fight for the coveted top spot next round, time permitting! :lol:
-
No actually im bored because I was mad.. asked you to reset my account... then im like moneyless now :roll:
-
How long is it to the next round know :?
-
8 days till the game closes for the reset.
-
8 days till the game closes for the reset.
The reset better be fast! :D

Depending on how fast you think 8 days is, it's coming fast.

Expect 2 days real-time.

Expect 2 days real-time.
Hopefully less. then up to a 24 hour period where the hrly script isn't moving, so everyone can catch up. There's likely to be a mass email when the age officially starts.
-
3 days left..!!!
MrOrange.. sry the Illuyshins you can take them back.. Dora gave me a better offer :P .. and there's no time.. i have to finish buying ur planes and selling :twisted:
-
I'd take them!
-
^ lol... wait for MrOrange ill tell him..
-
less than half a day till reset :D
-
As we are approaching the end of this round i have been leasing lots of aircrafts
:D just to boost my routes
-
Dktc, or whoever.. when's the reset?
-
Read the new at the homepage. The game would stop at 24 Dec, 07 in game date. Do your own calculation.
-
I see.. 1 day left..
-
No new thread? Continue the old one :D .. 11 hours left
-
2 hours 40 mins left...
-
Can't login anymore. Now, the painful 48 + 24 hour wait for the next round. I cannot wait! :lol:
-
I cannot wait! :lol:
And here I was thinking the fact that DC-8's are still not added yet would make you all willing to wait a bit longer :lol:
-
Don't take it wrongly - I'm just excited at the anticipation of my first proper round. Not trying to rush the developers!
-
I cannot wait! :lol:
And here I was thinking the fact that DC-8's are still not added yet would make you all willing to wait a bit longer :lol:
Work a bit more! Your the one with the airplane data! :roll:
-
Nope. I don't have the data. Boeing has on the corporate website. :roll:
-
what data do you need for the -8's and for which varients?
-
what data do you need for the -8's and for which varients?
's ok... I just need to read through the 90 pages on Boeing's site and get all the variants in :wink:
They will be there within 24 hours.

DOES A380 on sale in the following age aft 08Sep or ....?
just like the real market ....we can order A380 but ...waiting for....
is it possible?
Any Cargo plane? or more type of A/C?
DC-10?MD-11F?An-225 o.0?or etc....
-
*SCREAMS*
NEVER, EVER MENTION THE A380 AGAIN!
:D
-
Some people get franctic if you happen to mention the number 380 behind the letter A or the word Airbus... :roll:
It's just been discussed soooooooooooooooo often!
-
I know most of the officials are busy working, however we would like to know the approx. time for game restart, in the coming day? seems some have wait 2 days said it may be longer, really? :lol:
-
will have the option to send one message to all members of the alliance???

If you've seen the list of planes in the game, there are cargo planes (MD-11F and F-27 Cargo I know for sure), but that is a feature that is not ready to be used.
As for the Aircraft whose name should not be spoken, next round, you'll probebly get to operate a B377, which is like the plane whose name is not spoken, but from the late 40s/early 50s. Also, how do we know that the plane whose name will not be spoken will be in commercial service by Sept 2008? We should be happy wit the current choices they give us. It is more than most games I've ever seen.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nw_b377_cutaway_view.jpg)
Here is a link to the image that I tried showing above.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d3/Nw_b377_cutaway_view.jpg
I personally can't wait for the next round to see what interesting changes will be made. As long as the game is playable and without too many serious bugs, I'll be happy.
-
I would say that plane would be in servcie by the time we get to 2008. The thing is, there is no way to ensure it remains in service :roll:
Anyway, it is not in the next round, so before Stephen locks this... let's get back on track (I wanted to say let me lock this first :P )
-
Delete the A380 post.. i'd be mad if someone locked my thread... :roll:
Do you mind reading who created it?
-
Let's get back to topic.. are we going to have batch sell?
