wont this just result in people creating multiple accounts?

yes, but all three airlines would be in different games, so you couldn't use a three pronged attack.

Which brings up another question, what about the current alliances???? I think I could speak for everyone that we'd be pretty p***** off if the alliances were split up.

[airline55]

will the new version include stock and the ability to buy out other airlines?

[Jaime]

Will code share be available?

IMO we should have non open sky policy. Trying to explain what I mean: if I have all my network in the USA for example, I can't be flying a route like FCO-BRU.

But instead if I fly from my network in the USA to FCO or BRU I could then fly FCO-BRU.

what i meen is wont people just keep making new sign in names to keep getting their other 3 free tokens. or is the ip address going to be saved?

[HADC10]

As for the open skies policiy, I think that we could just have it be so that international flights had to be connected to a preexisting route network

[TorqueWrench]

They may have to be broken up, depends how how we support them and how you want to run them.

It is pleasing to see that you are advancing on the new version, take your time, (Get It Right) lot's of old players will read this with much interest. Thank you for this informative update

[Maestro69]

Now, thats what i call short and sweet answers to people's questions.

Anyways, people will happy with the responses in regards to their questions

[HADC10]

Well, I'm excited. If nothing else, I can't wait for a reset

[frankly.de]

Thanks, TW, for answering all those questions. However I still have another two questions...:

1. Is there any estimate for when the reset will occur?

2. Could you possibly include a few more airports? I noticed that the choice is rather limited. I missed the following APs whenn having a quick check of the lists:

Middle East: Amman, Eilat, Teheran, Bagdad

South America: Sao Paolo Congohas (CGH, not GRU), Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont (SDU, not GIG), Montevideo, Mendoza...

Australia/NZ/S. Pacific: Cairns, Canberra, Coolangata (Goldcoast), Port Moresby, Apia, Rarotonga, Dunedin, Queenstown, Nelson, Invercargill, Hamilton, Rotorua ....

Thanks!

[FuriousFalcon]

frankly. de, theres a lot of threads in which people have asked about non existing airports in the game...Miller has said there will be more airports in the new game, but I dont see the point in all those Australian New zealand airports to be honest, Iv never heard of them apart from Queenstown, Canberra, that doesnt mean theyre not important airports, but I think that before going to the stage of putting all the airports of a country in or nearly all of them we should at least have the international airport of every country, for example ASU - Paraguay/ South America...

Typical request from a noble KIWI when you left out Darwin the gateway to Asia you lost my vote to include regionals like Nelson and Hamilton with the others.

Then furious, if Australia doesnt need more airports,i guess we dont need Paraguay either. Obviously Paraguay is just a small place with a small population, no one would miss it, would they?

Oh, btw, if u think im been harsh, u basically posted this looking for it. Ur lucky u aint on IRC or i would of told u off already
[end of rant]

Anyways, i think more airports in every region are necessary, no matter if big, small and whatever. It will help elivate major routes and allow people to focus on airports which have good lf's and develop that airport.

Thanks for pointing out what I forgot. I never meant the list to be complete! Yes, get in Darwin, of course! And any others that have a reasonable amount of traffic, such as Accra, Entebbe, ........

And as far as Asuncion is concerned, yes, I'm all for it. Along with La Paz and Lima and...... Personally I wouldn't mind Recife or Curitiba and other secondary airports in South America being included. I am most familiar with Brazil (Fortalezza or Manaus, anyone?), but that doesn't mean I wouldn't support other airports being added as well.

Oh and, Furious Falcon, there are plenty of US or Caribean airports in the game that I never heard of. Why them and none from down under (or Africa, South America)? Or are we too prejudiced towards the northern hemisphere and the "first world"? Ever heard of Anglo-American cultural imperialism? I just hope that doesn't apply to you (or anyone else in AE, for that matter).

[drv4truk]

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the annual passenger numbers, rather then being prejudiced towards the northern hemisphere.

[number1air]

aussie is too far away and population of 30m NZ has 1/4 of that psa is right is may be due to pax numbers with 90% of pax is north of the equator

[HADC10]

To tell the truth, I've never heard of South Bend, Indiana before I started playing, but we could use some more airports (FAI, JNU, YXY, YZF)

...hey chill...im just saying we need airports in other countries aswel...so why just the big countries with all the airports they have...take a look at South America...Its empty!!! same goes for Africa

[VC-10]

We need some Caribbean airports, like Havana, Kingston, Montego Bay, Barbados, Antigua, Grand Cayman.............
Can't wait for the new version. Will you be able to share terminals within Alliances? For example, If I have a 20 gate Terminal at LHR, can Air Kevin or Zirk Red use one of the gates for less? This could boost pax numbers, and only be avalible in allainces or something. Can we have an Alliance feature? So that when the airlines are connected then you can codeshare etc, and buy planes en mass to get discounts? I know Swissair and UTA bought DC-10s together in the 1970s.
