Per this suggestion, I'm planning to start a new 60min/day world. What time period would people prefer?

Note: Please vote only if you actually intend to play in the slow world!

This sounds awesome! Great world to slowly build and it will be easier to maintain an airline!

[pseudoswede]

I recommend it is rotated amongst the worlds.

One 1 hour/day round, another 15 minutes/day round, and the rest are 30 minutes/day.

I guess it would be a good idea to at least have one world that is slow.

Makes bigger airlines more manageable and your not constantly overloaded with 300 idle planes to schedule.

Should be 2000-2040. Makes the 787s quicker to nab.

I'm planning to start this world in about 3 weeks since it will be similar to R3 and I want to avoid excessive overlap in time periods

[Jonny Maybin]

2000-2040 would be best because you get more fuel efficent aircraft and there bigger

Easier to build my sort of airline in 2000-2040

a vote for 1960 - 2040

a long Open (No Political Restrictions) slow world would be cool

[Daleman]

Cool idea

[channy_thegreat]

So just a thought or two... 

 

1: I like the idea, because I have killed so many big airlines simply because I could not devote the time they needed to continue to grow at the pace they were receiving planes

 

 

However,

 

2: Follow this... 1hr/day is 24days in 24 hours... so a month in a day bc we all know AE months are 24(why, i still havent figured out) however, we are talking about a world that takes 12months x 40 years = 480 days to complete the world from start to finish. A world that lasts 16 months real world time? Seems weird! and extra long. 

 

Just my 2 cents...

[Nexus8]

480 days thats too much

[dieseltu]

I won't play.  But  I'm torn.  I think the games are to long.   But a lot happens if I can't check the game every day. So that would be better.with a long world.    And I can't  check every day.  Then I got to sit here 5 hours placing piled up aircraft.  I really would like a shorter game.   Or at least to have one new world available every day. 

[Yuxi]

Or at least to have one new world available every day.

That is simply not feasible at the present, until we have private worlds at least.

If/when we do have a 1 day / hour game, it would probably be 20-25 years instead of 40.

Having a job and a family means I usually don't have much time for my airlines. This usually means that after a while I have loads of freshly delivered aircraft that don't have routes, simply because I don't have enough time to put them on routes. So a slow world would be greatly appreciated !!

 

With 1 game month per real life day, a 30 year world would take approximately a full year to finish, which sounds nice to me. As a time period, I would prefer 1985 - 2015 as we have clear data on 99% of aircraft available in that period. A game up to 2040 would simply be unrealistic, we can't know what will fly by then and how its economics will be.
