[=] Suggestions / Out of date a/c in long private worlds and high passengers in the early days.
« on: September 14, 2010, 05:25:45 am »
Yep it`s a long title, but...
I noticed that in long running worlds it becomes increasingly harder to start as a new player.
For example. In PW452 you start with 2 Farman F.60 Goliath, but the gamedate is nov 1965.
Making it almost impossible to start up your airline as a new player.
Would it be a suggestion to change the start-up aircraft to a more modern one say every 10yr. as time moves on in a world.
Second thing I noticed is that when a world starts in the 1910`s or 1920`s an airport like Atlanta already has like 90Mil. passengers. How can that be when the Wright brothers just flew for the first time a few years before. Airlines make enormous profits with thousands of aircraft in the early years of flying, affording them to buy the most expensive aircrafts for years to come. While someone who enters later in this world is hindered by outdated start-up aircraft and unrealistic competion.
Would it not be possible to give passenger numbers by aproximation per decade. Say Atlanta in 1910 800 pas., in 1920 8.000 pas. etc, etc. I know exact passengers per year per airport are not available, but maybe a formula that gives you in 1920 a certain percentage, say 5% of the passengernumbers from now. And in 1930 7.5% for example.
Maybe this was suggested before, it`s just a thought.
