General Chat / Short-Haul Aircrafts

« on: November 02, 2007, 09:33:05 pm »

For the shorthauls, I prefer the Bristol Wayfarer. Good range at a bit over 2000, reasonable passenger numbers at 32 and I think the fuel efficiency is good, unless I'm mistaken. I use the Curtis on longer routes. Advantages of both of them: they're cheap to buy.

The poll is only as valid as those that visit the forum.  The real poll is online.  Votes based on Euros:

Rank: No in Service: Aircraft Type:
1 12,746 Douglas DC-3
2 6,422 Curtis CW-20
3 4,991 Lockheed Super Constellation L-1049
4 2,823 Martin 4-0-4
5 2,783 Convair 240
6 2,159 Lockheed R6V Constitution
7 1,943 Douglas DC-6B
8 1,754 Boeing 377 Stratocruiser
9 1,432 Bristol 170 Wayfarer
10 1,144 Martin 2-0-2

Keep in mind that - even though the DC3 isn't included in the poll - everyone gets one as startup plane!

The depreciation of an airliner's value is just basic economics.

Thanks!

To create a second base, you need four gates at that airport, right? How much do you need to pay to open that base?

What's the maximum amount of gates you can have at a hub before you're forced to build a terminal?

General Chat / Best Real-Life Airlines

« on: October 30, 2007, 12:54:35 pm »

From the online commnents I've read, Singapore Airlines seems to be the best.

As for Cathay Pacific and Emirates. if comments are to be believed, their service is sometimes appaling. Maybe Qatar Airways is the best Middle Eastern airline?

Game Data / continents

« on: October 25, 2007, 10:27:58 pm »

Air Elbonia, I have a concern regarding Greenland. When you searc for gates per continent (all the gates of one continent under one page), Greenland's airport's are considered to fall under Europe. However, when you go to "Rent Gate" and click on Greenland on the map, you get taken to the North American page. Could this possibly be fixed?

No offence meant, but Wikipedia doesn't have the passenger numbers for EVERY single airport.

Does anyone know a website where I can quickly find passenger (and maybe cargo as well) numbers for a whole variety of airports?
