Bugs / Distances incorrect.

« on: June 09, 2014, 06:15:52 pm »

Distances inconsistant with those on Great Circle mapper and other sources.

The distances between airports, at least those in PW2851, are inconsistant with those on Great Circle mapper, and appear to be in statute rather than nautical miles.

Private World Discussion & Invitation / PW#2393: Carry Your National Flag!

« on: August 20, 2012, 08:22:42 pm »

This world is designed to enable you to replicate the experience of setting up a national flag carrier, which operates out of one country.


Airlines must be based in one country, so rather than having bases all over Europe, Asia or wherever, they need to restrict themselves to China, France, Brazil etc. However, groupings of nations are allowed where it makes sense (and where perhaps there is already a precedent in the airline industry), such as Caribbean islands, smaller (and neighbouring!) Central American or African countries, or in Europe places like Benelux and Scandinavia.

I'd like to join in a Private World at a big city without getting into that mad competition right away

In most private worlds, competition is much less intense than in the public worlds, even at major cities.

When you put it like that, you definitely can see the possibility of making mistakes.

Here are two options for the change, select which one you prefer: http://verifyapp.com/p/18250

Horizontal spacing of the 1st option, vertical spacing of the 2nd.

Private World Discussion & Invitation / Re: Regulation Era World

« on: January 27, 2012, 02:41:52 pm »

I like the idea, but the US would definitely have to be divided up.

I am thinking that the USA would have three flag carriers, one for routes to Europe, Africa, Canada, Russia and the Middle East (and regulating US domestic flights by foreign carriers from those regions), one for Latin America, and one for the Pacific (Australasia and south, east and central Asia).

I would defiantly take Canada. Actually, you say the US is so big, what about russia, or canada?

Russia and Canada cover large areas, but have relatively few people and air travellers, for instance the USA has 23 airports busier than Moscow Domodedovo, Russias largest.

I like the Idea, what year will the world start in?

I was thinking 1947 or 1992, but I'm open to suggestions.

Private World Discussion & Invitation / Regulation Era World

« on: January 10, 2012, 09:59:37 pm »

Would anyone be interested in a regulation era game, one where you not only take control of an airline, but also of a countries ministry of aviation?

The first airline established in each country would be the flag carrier, and would be in control of  all takeoff, landing and probably overflight rights in that country.

Overflights would be allowed if only a small diversion is required to avoid the blocking country.

Subsequent airlines in each country would be able to compete freely in and from there home country, but would still be regulated by foreign ministries of aviation.

As it is so large, the USA may have to be divided into several regulatory authorities depending either on the location of the US airport; or on the origin of the foreign flight/airline.

If you are interested such a world, what area should it cover, and what year should it start, and do you have any other suggestions?

I have the tokens to create such a world.

Game Data / Handly Page H.P.42 Name Error

« on: February 09, 2011, 08:33:28 pm »

The H.P.42 (Eastern) is the Hannibal, the H.P.45 (Western) is the Heracles. You've got it the wrong way round.

Game Data / Re: States, Provences, Counties

« on: November 02, 2010, 02:32:41 pm »

Can I do the United Kingdom again but put it into the proper counties rather than just Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales?

The United Kingdom does need doing again. Regional government in England (the regional  development agencies) is being abolished. The proper top level division is into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland anyway.

(229, 'Scotland'), (229, 'Wales'), (229, 'England'), (229, 'Northern Ireland')


Scotland: 40, 41, 47, 49, 60, 66, 70, 71, 73, 2229, 2215, 2429, 2430, 2433, 2436, 2440, 2441,
Wales: 53, 1391, 2795,
England: 46, 61, 2432, 7, 35, 37, 39, 51, 2431, 43, 45, 54, 36, 64, 1399, 3072, 3128, 52, 67, 1425, 2438, 2439, 2936, 42, 55, 56, 65, 69, 72, 2428, 2434, 2435, 38, 58, 48, 59, 62,
Northern Ireland: 44, 50, 68,

Game Updates / Re: Help pick the route map colour scheme

« on: July 13, 2010, 11:15:15 am »

The map looks great, especially if you can zoom in & out.

I agree that the colour schemes on the current map are more peaceful & relaxing to the eyes than the colors used above. Namely blue for the seas and a whiter shade of pale (beige or such) for the landmass.

Other colors could do as well, as long as they're soft.

Just my two centimes worth.

I agree.

    * Countries: Beige
    * Oceans: Light blue.
    * Airports: Dark blue
    * Route lines: Red

I would suggest joining a full private world without a password.

Such as Openworld (http://www.airlinemogul.com/airlinemogul/view_world.php?wid=1343).
