Realistic World?

[pilotguy121a]

Well i hardly consider the MD-90-55s massive. The only reason why I chose them and 5 of them was because I knew this world wouldn't progress as fast as normal and having 5 starting a/c was probably better than 1 small a/c. Good Luck!

I see European airlines basing out of their home country, as well as other airlines wanting to expand out of national borders.

Maybe I'm just picky, but isn't this meant to be a realistic world? I don't think an airline named Aeroitalia would have flights out of Paris and London?

I know I have said I maybe would base out of Nigeria, but I'm not sure if it will be possible.

It is just a complaint, you can ignore it if you want. And it is not directed towards Aeroitalia, it was just an example.

Europe is pretty free when it comes to hubs in real life. Airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet have "bases" all over Europe.

A more in-game problem is that, unlike the US, many of the European countries (and indeed, most other countries) lack a large number of big airports - so you end up with fairly small bases. If you focus on realistic routes (i.e. ones that airlines fly in real life), anything other than the major bases gives you quite a limited selection of destinations - so there isn't much potential to expand your airline.

Now I would agree with you on this but we are not trying to replicate real airlines. Just emulate their fleet decisions and frequencies on routes.

Regarding multi-national airlines, I think it's a "to each his own" sort of thing.  Personally, I prefer to observe real-world domestic vs. foreign rules, which will include keeping all of my hubs within Japan and observing real-world fifth freedom rights for any alliance routes.

In the real world, though, the EU allows airlines based there to fly any intra-EU route regardless of home country.  Also, LAN Group is a consortium of several airlines based in multiple countries, and I think it's reasonable for people to create an airline that way as well (particularly in Middle East, Africa, and South America).

Come on guys, only 14 airlines for a whole world? So unrealistic. I dare you to join and compete in this awesome world! 

[1993matias]

Yes! Join the world and have a fun and challenging experience. If you are tired of the same normal worlds, you'll be happy in this world - be a regional airline connecting the small towns with multiple frequencies and small aircraft, or be the international airline with dozens of flights to the huge cities!

Come join and have fun!

Just joined as CAAC based in PEK!

[pilotguy121a]

I must say, I'm very pleased at how this world been. It is something very different and gives a whole new experience to AM. I also promise that I will create another world like this, but longer as 8 years may be a bit short. Something like 10-12 years. Anyway, we have 5 years left and if you still wish to join, please do so, we welcome all new airlines!

[1993matias]

I'd rather wait a few months after this world ends, just to take a break from AM. But on the other hand, I can join whenever I want

[pilotguy121a]

I know! AM is great but I can't play it with more than 1 world and even then I sometimes flake out. However, this is different because I'm not making insane amounts of cash, which is different. It actually takes some thought and planning to emulate real world airline scheduling.

It's kind of funny...
In this world, my value skyrocketed at one point and I expanded from about 500 mil to 2 bil in a couple months. When I create worlds someday, I will make them realistic.

[Reyes25]

I'll like to join as Reyes Airlines based in BOS

[pilotguy121a]

Please go ahead and join, we welcome all new airlines!
