Some rare old birds there, some of which no doubt seemed "futuristic" when first conceived on the drawing boards. If you were thinking of seeing them in AE, it would seem they were all out of production by 1950, which is when their earliest game world starts. But otherwise, beautiful planes indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think these will be added. For reasons above.

I used to play Panzer General .Long ago  And used the SM 75. as a bomber. In Africa and Italy.

Mate. What about the DC-2? Or the Breguet? These could make an even earlier game world possible.

i feel old. I used to work on DC3s and Beech 18s... For a cargo company...

I don't think we can have much older worlds, or else political restrictions would be much higher... I would prefer worlds 2000 - 2040 or something like that versus 1945 - 1985.

Listen here, punk, he's got a point. Worlds before about 1945 wouldn't work within the framework of AE because the way airlines were run was so much different (ie: more like rail lines, with airlines given individual "lines" that their aircraft would fly) compared to the completely deregulated environment AE has. Plus, aircraft back in the day were so inefficient that nobody would make any money anyway, have you tried operating the DC-3?

 

And stop being a little s***, nobody likes people who throw tantrums when they don't get their way.

Thanks. Also, I would say that a 1930 game world would be severely rocked because

1) There were probably less than 50 airlines in the world due to the lack of efficiency and the fact that flying was unsafe

2) World War 2 would cut political restrictions so almost no airline could operate out of Germany

3) Certain Countries did not exist and some extra ones did exist.

 

Unfortunately, in this case, the past does not help you.
