The world is now open

World info

Hi!

The talks are already going for a new realistic world, so I thought I'd make a thread.

There are following questions to be answered:

What era are we playing in? We will play from 1965 to 1973.
For how long are we going to play? Eight years.
When are we going to start? The world is currently open
What will the number of bases be? Six domestic and one foreign.

Details
NAME: Realistic World V3
Starting Year: 1965
End Year: 1973
Starting Aircraft: Hawker Siddeley HS121 Trident 1E
Gate Quantity: 5
Domestic Bases: 6
International Base: 1 (Realism: I know it take from realism slightly, but it is only 1 base, if you want to have a stop-over)
Only Commercial aircraft
50 players
Password: v3


RULES taken from v1
-Using at REALISTIC frequency
---What I mean is that if you have a 737-700 going from ORD to ATL, NO airline would run that once a day. Neither should we. More like 4-5 times daily.
-Standardizing your fleets
---I see it all to often, people buy 1 of every airplane possible. NO airline would ever do that. There is no benefit to it in game but this is about realism.
-Using reasonably sized aircraft for a particular route
---Using a CRJ-200LR on a route from ORD to ATL would be somewhat unrealistic, so in this world it should be avoided

Of course, these rules are just guidelines; if you want to fly e.g. ATL-ORD with CRJ's, you can do that, but keep realistic (not 2x freq., but more like 5-8x).

[AirbusGuy350]

I will join as Atlantic Air. Just a suggestion for bases, I think we should only allow 1 or none foreign bases.

[jbauersa24]

I'm in as Gulf Coast Airways based in Houston Texas.  I vote for 1980 or later.

[AirbusL1011]

i'll join,and start off as Tasman Air, based out of sydney. if possible, i think the plane should be a short-short medium range airliner along the lines of a A320, B737 or possibly B717.

[1993matias]

I would also like a 80's world; or maybe even 70's. For the starting aircraft I would like a 90-130 seater, but not a common model (737, DC-9 etc).

[jbauersa24]

I vote no foreign bases.  If you want to operate out of a foriegn country you should create/join an alliance. 

[GPWestjet]

I would like to join as Badiuk Airlines, base will come out later.

What era are we playing in? I think either 80's or 90's

For how long are we going to play? I think about 7-10 years

When are we going to start? mid-October would be good

For aircraft: maby like a regional jet or prop plane that isn't know so well

I think ten years is too much. Take a look at the other games, the game dies in the last couple of years. Seven would be a maximum.

Just what I think

[jbauersa24]

A 5 year world would be 60 days IRL.  I think that would be a length.  Maybe a 6 or 7 year world.  10 is too long.  As for starting aircraft, If we begin in early 80's then here are some aircraft that large airlines would be getting rid of around that time:

Boeing 720 or 720B
Fokker F27-400
Comet 4B
Smith SUper 46-C
Vickers Vanguard

I am ok with any starting pick, but for realism, a start up airline would not be able to get there hands on the latest aircraft on the market.  They would have to make due with the scraps that the larger airlines were getting rid off.  Anything with a withdraw date of 2-3 years after the world start date would be a good candidate.

On a different note, are we going to allow two players to work together as mainline and regional carriers, or will regional service be run by the same player?

[AirbusGuy350]

What era are we playing in? I agree with 2003 to 2010
For how long are we going to play? 7 years is good
When are we going to start Mid october works well
I think we should go with a small aircraft to start off with and build up from that. Saab 340, DHC-100, or up to a regional jet.

[doctorbleachers]

If you don't mind having a newbie play then put me down.

Alpha Airlines Base: Chicago O'hare

I understand if I'm to green to play.

In the last world, some players teamed up, so I think no one will have anything against it in this world.

Regarding the starting aircraft, I would suggest a small, unknown regional jet/turboprop. E.g. Saab 340, Fairchild F227 etc.

You're welcome; just be sure to read the rules here. Basically it says not to do 1x freq. routes and mixed up fleets, but you're better off reading it all.

[Reyes25]

i'll be Reyes Airlines based out of LAX

[Agent Orange]

I am interested in joining is this already open or can i join ?

I will be Agent Orange Airlines based in Las Vegas

[1993matias]

As stated in the first post, this world will open in October.

I will make a thread with a voting for the time period and then for a starting aircraft in a couple of weeks.
