Lockheed L-188A and Fokker F-27

Oops, I'm afraid there was a coordination failure on my part. We still have some aircraft to add before starting the game.

I want to thank BritAbroad and the other data collectors for working hard on the aircraft and airport database to make this game possible.

Since this game will last almost 300 days, a few more days on standby won't hurt. The extra aircraft selection will be worth the wait!

[TheOmnipotentAmerican]

this will truly test the strategic abilities of players, love the long game time...

[BritAbroad]

On that note - if anybody wants any particular aircraft added for that game, I will take requests by PM (preferably with links to websites with technical information) for a limited period only.

This applies only to aircraft produced between 1950 and 1980, for now, so I can prioritise for the game start. Aircraft in production between 1970 and 1990 will be added eventually, but probably after the game start.

I think a good time to join the game will be in the 80s or 90s when players lose interest ;p

... And you get a million planes on the used market

Anyways, lets take bets on how many players would still have Lockheed Constellation's and Lockheed Electra's by 2010

[Concagh98]

Will we be seeing Viscounts? ( They operated right up until the 90s)

[SoonerAirlines]

Don't forget Tridents.

[bolli]

Don't forget Tridents.

Tridents are already in AE

They were a starting aircraft in the 1970 beta recently

[BritAbroad]

Viscounts are now also in game. I added them last night.

[Sheepy]

Only the trident 3 is in the game. Other variants need to be added.

[BritAbroad]

Other variants will be added. They will be added even quicker if sources of data can be suggested to me, by PM.

[Tintinfan]

Not long till it starts...hopefully...

*finishs adding all the Douglas DC things*

[Yuxi]

The start is tentatively scheduled for 2am GMT.
