Yuxi, i say it is about time we get a new open modern world, there are currently two (i know youre aware of this) one has 7 years left and the other is currently in 1971. so posibilities are sotra limited because you cant do much in 7 years and some players dont like older worlds. Just something to think about

[Sheepy]

Frankly, I think we need a new realistic world as well... R-Delta is getting overcrowded if you don't want to base in a tiny airport no-one's heard of.

[Yuxi]

R5 is ending in 16 days...is that a long time to wait?

[Sheepy]

Of course! A new world must be available once every five minutes!
If this is not met, we will overthrow the Yuxtatorship!
(Yes. This is sarcasm, for those who don't understand... Sixteen days will be fine)

[Sheepy]

I agree. Two hundred and fifty would seem to be the best number, in my opinion.
Alternatively, airlines being limited by regions could prevent mass-Euro/America overcrowding...

If Yuxi can get some alliance terminal thing running up, I guess less gates won't kill...

That is true, my European airlines struggle to grow, the base for my airline Virgin UK is Belfast International and there are no gates left, I had to build a terminal to grow. Also, from my regional operating base at Belfast City I cannot fly to many man UK airports as they have no gates.

Maybe including the ability to have two 'major' airlines and two 'regional' airlines?

[JamesP]

I too agree there needs to be a new modern world soooooooon...

Yuxi, may I suggest that 600 players is too many for a single game world?

It is not, but a world with 600 airlines run by only 150-200 people is too many.

600-airline world with one airline per player would be very nice.

[QK Flight Industries]

I believe that the 600 airline world was an exception, since there was no limit on the number of airlines launched per member. IT IS a special world after all...

[Yuxi]

Actually there are 345 players (not airlines) in Rδ. But it's a fun experiment nevertheless

[Brando]

so when will the open 2000-2030 world start?

[ar157]

Maybe including the ability to have two 'major' airlines and two 'regional' airlines?

2 regional airlines seems to be 1 too many

[Sheepy]

Two means you can have one for each airline
Require one of the regional airlines to be in the same country as a main airline?

[ar157]

On the subject of RJs they should be lik ewhat sheepy said and should only use half a slot.

[ar157]

fine but at least the option to choose between terminal and remote gate......................

[Sheepy]

Depends on your definition of a slot.
However if you use the 'gate' definition....
-RJs have shorter turn time.
-Use up less space (2RJs fit on one 737 gate).
Possible system I've considered, to include runway slots...
"Total available runway slots at airport" (At a five gate airport, this would be two hundred and fifty).
All runway slots would be shared out to all operators at the airport, except for possibly those with terminals. (Something to look into). They would be paid for automatically as a part of the route finance page.
"Number of gates"
One gate rented = fifty gate slots. If aircraft is small (Under 100 seats), it uses 0.5 slots.
If an aircraft is a narrowbody, it uses 1 slot.
If an aircraft is a widebody, it uses 2 slots.
