I know it is designed for players in Europe/US so that they can log in the game to grab gates at the same time every day.

But that is a nightmare for players in Asia, since they have to set up an alarm clock to do so every day. It is also unfair to the player who have regular conflicts, e.g. have a class every day from 1-2pm, when the gates are released.

If it is 30 days per month, it is fair to all players world-wide.

Just my IMHO.

This is a global game and at some point it's going to be a disadvantage to someone. When I played Sim 1 and Miller reset that late in the evening in the US it was a disadvantage to european players.

Maybe when more games are setup they can have different start times.

Anyway, this should have gone in suggestions.

That is definitly a good idea for the planned multiple-games-feature.

But in general: The 24 hours are not related to European players - I will be also be able to restart the next round at 4:00 local time, that will we 10:00 pm in New York. The 24 game days are related to a regular time base. So if we have 30 days to play, the month switch will change every day - this could be an advantage or disadvantage. Right know you will be able to plan easier - you expect aircraft deliveries every day at the same time.

But changing monthly changes could be interesting and change the game play to a more flexible one. By the way: I'm planning to change the aircraft delivery: Right know all airplanes will be delivered on the 1st, I'm thinking about delivering over the whole month.

So if airbus will produce max. 30 aircrafts/month, one aircraft will be delivered per day - so this will be more interesting.

I think I will start a poll soon about playing 30 days instead of 24.

Yea.. the new restart messed me up... i missed the start of month 2 days in a row by 2 hours! and i couldn't buy new aircraft because of it...

If we have it at 30 days a game month then the new month turnover would be at a diffrent time every single day make it unfair on all players

How about delivering 30 days after ordering. So if you order on day 15 you get your planes on day 15 of the next month etc etc ....
As it is at the moment you don't have to wait a month if you order them on day 24 , you just have to wait 1 day
That way it does not matter when the m/c change is!

Anyway, with the new scheduling feature gate slot will become a thing of the past ;-)
