We'll have to wait till they get here...

Or we could push it.

Or we could push it.

We most certainly should... I would like to see a lot of the aircraft on the 'approved and to-do' list to appear in-game soon!

I think the more logical and economical ATR 72 should be the starting ATR instead of -42.

 

Some bigger version of Bombardier CRJ and/or Embraer E-jet might also be added as starting aircraft if the world starts in 2005 or 2010, or Avro RJ100 if it starts in 2000 (or maybe year 1995 should also be an option?)

RJ100 if it starts in 2000 makes sense, but if you check the starting aircraft of all worlds, aircraft that have been only in service for less than 5 years tend not to get added as the starting aircraft (e.g. A320-200 for worlds starting in 1990), so the large CRJs and E-Jets will probably not be added in a 2005 world

 

The exact mix of starting aircraft should be determined when the final duration and starting year of the world is determined, not before.

Any hope for this world to appear.....

I brought up a similar idea back in February (which TNT also supported) & I agree that it would be fun to play a world with modern planes to start with (I really like playing the game with modern regional aircraft).  I'd prefer a game world that started in 2010 or 2015, so that most current aircraft would be available from the get-go.  I find 15 years a bit short, but I'd still give it a go (I voted for the scenario that was 15 years only because it started in 2010).  I wouldn't mind if it lasted 20 years, but 25 would be good too (I think 2010-2035 would be a great game).

 

For those people concerned with the lack of new plane types being brought into the market, perhaps we could maybe have degradation over time be a larger factor in this game, which could prompt players to renew their fleets (if they choose) a bit sooner; not to mention that there are still plenty of other game worlds available for those who aren't interested in this type of game.  We could also (or instead) assign some arbitrary end dates for production of certain aircraft that have been on the market for awhile, such as the Boeing 737 NG series, Boeing 767 series, Airbus A320 series, Airbus A330/A340 series, CASA turboprops, Ilyushin IL-96 series, etc.  That would prompt some fleet renewal for airlines operating those aircraft.

Guess the crew is still busy at managing AE4. We just gotta wait.

[Aviator48]

TNT, I am like you and many others, needing a modern world. I agree with you.

[globair1]

Are we going to get any new world in the near future?

Probably not. Quite surprised how many people actually supporting it.

[globair1]

Probably not. Quite surprised how many people actually supporting it.

Argh too bad...

[globair1]

Now we have one additional aircraft type for this world - A330neo

[konj1]

I was thinking, most good worlds take 30 years for me... I would like to see some R world spanning like S1, from 1990 or 1995 to 2025. Maybe modify either R5 or Rd.

[TNT88]

I would love a world that starts at 2005 or 2010 to 2025 to 2030. With 15 minutes speed. It would last for 2 months only, which would be pretty good for people who love playing fast. Most worlds last for 3 to 4 and sometimes more months. 

[globair1]

Any possibilities?

[TNT88]

Any possibilities?

Probably not.

[bAnderson]

Well, I wouldn't order A340-500 or B777-200ER to be honest.

What's wrong with 772ER!?

[TNT88]

What's wrong with 772ER!?

High fuel consumption 

[bAnderson]

Not really, compared to 762ER.

[TNT88]

Not really, compared to 762ER.

2 wrongs doesn't make things right. It still have high fuel consumption.
