A really slow (60min Game Day) and long (1936 - 2040) Open AE world:

- 1936 - 2040
- A Open World (No Political Restrictions)
- Limited to 1 Airline per player
- 800 Airlines
- Game Day Length: 60 minutes
- Starting Cash: $7,500,000
- Starting Aircraft: Douglas DC-3

yeah right.....that is just painfully boring and slow.....

[M.F. Ensembleson]

1,000 Airlines? Hell no, 500 is bad enough!

And a 60 minute game day wouldn't attract anybody- like Ev said, that's so painfully boring and slow.

60min/day sounds nice. I wouldn't have to come on AE every day to extend/replace leases and the world would last for quite a while. For time frame, some time after the long-haul-props would be good. Perhaps 1965-2005/15? As there already are two extra long worlds I don't see the need for another one, though I really hope for a pre-1950 world someday.

I think the timeframe is painfully long for the pace that you want to go. Keeping it to the standard 40yr timeframe is probably more than generous, over double that is just insanity.

You do realize this would take 3.4 years in real life, right?

If you go with a 1936 start year, then I demand that Zepplins be included as passneger aircraft since they were in service at that time.

 

Fox Trident might have some fun with doing press releases about them going "boom"

Heck yeah, would be cool scheduling Zepplins from JFK-FRA where it takes 1 week to do a single leg and 2 weeks for the round trip.......

[Nexus8]

Zepplins for the win.

Why on earth would you make a world last until 2040 ? It's 2013, so you'd be playing up to 27 years into the future. We don't know what economics new airplanes will have in a couple of years. Hell, we don't even have enough information to incorporate the A320 NEO and 737 MAX and those are slated for entry into service in october 2015 and 2017 ...

Why not keep it limited to 2015 to keep at least some sense of realism ?

Yes airships please, they were still carrying passengers

I agree, and 60 min day might help people that cant play a lot, life happens, but add choices for the starter plane and not the DC-3 because it was released on June 26, add some older planes/airships, like dc2, ilya muromets, dc1 etc
