I hope your not trying to imply that only the US has profitable airports. I found that many of the (odd,non-major) Europe and Asia cities also proved to be better then expected.

No, not at all. Europe is very profitable like the USA, but both have very few avalible gates. Asia is profitable too, when flying between decent airports such as Tokyo and Hong Kong. I had a Hub in Nagoya and couldn't do better than about 30K when flying to Bangkok, if I remember correctly. I feel that the reason that Asia has so many free gates is that there aren't that many airports there. Put in a bunch more airports from China, Japan, and Vietnam and maybe the number of gates avalible at Tokyo and Hong Kong may go down to zero, like it does at other large cities such as New York, London, and Rome.

We do not need a reset, the skies are not crowded. There is still plenty of good routes out there. Only whiners and people who can't run their airlines want a reset because they think they might do better next round. As if.

If we were resetting to implement new features or fixing the holy grail of all bugs, I'd be for it. This is a disappointing decision IMO.

While I'm disappointed at the prospect of starting with 2 Beech's again, I'm pretty happy with what I accomplished in this round.

18th place!

Pretty good compared to 400something last round.

Is this rumor or fact miller? And when is it to be implemented (If)?

You may be the first, but if you read Miller post, the game will still be paused for at least 24 hours. That at least gives everyone time to start fighting over territory already.

I did hit 1st right after the last reset - ahhh good times.

[dyson_151_15]

Yikes... A midnight Reset would benifit European and Asian players, but a midday reset would benifit American and Australasian players.

So, you are or Not playing Bluewings?

[WSHNationals]

Not a midnight reset, yet...

[flyguy]

Not an 8AM (EST) reset either.

[airline55]

well, were through 10:30 EST and still no reset so, noon perhaps?

[galapagapop]

Either way I just hope when it does happen it doesn't mean the start of those darn cheating threads.

And to those who wanted this soooo badly, this will be your last chance if you can't produce a quality top 50 airline, if you can't then don't come complaining to us. I was about to do a hub crash later this week with 1.3 bil I have in cash, but I guess a reset will happen.

Darn.

Exactly, there's always some area that has an advantage or disadvantage, nothing we can do, other than live with it (or stay up late )

[airline55]

we shall see. Hopefully a noon reset.

[WSHNationals]

Nope, not noon either

[airline55]

Yes, I see that. The problem being, since it is a sunday, and not saturday, people in Austrailia and asia are already starting to get up to go to work and school, maning that there is really no time to conveinience everybody. It seems to me that the best thing would have been a 2:00
pm (EST) reset on saturday. That would have made it the following:

Detroit, New York, Boston, Florida, - 2:00 PM
Chicago, St. Louis, Texas, - 1:00 PM
Denver, Phoenix, - noon
Los Angeles, Vegas, Washington (state), - 11:00 AM
Sydney, - 6:00 AM
Tokyo, - 4:00 AM
Singapore, Taiwan, Beijing, Eastern Austrailia, - 3:00 AM
Paris, Rome, Berlin, Munich, - 8:00 PM
England, - 7:00 PM

people in Australia and Asia would be at the largest disadvantage, becasue, (assuming every person woke at 8:00 AM) they would not be able to play until 2-5 hours after the reset, but this seems to be the closest-to-best time for every person.

[drv4truk]

That is the reason why it is supposed to be reset and then paused for a day or two. This gives everyone a chance to login and setup original routes or whatever before the clock starts moving. That way no one misses out on profits and no one has an advantage.

[Pacific]

I'm not playing THA.

[WSHNationals]

Well, 1/2 the day is gone, any chance we'll see the reset soon(1-2 hours)?

[WSHNationals]

Im gonna take my last guesses... 12:00 am GMT or 12:00 am Eastern
