Am not quite sure if this has been issued already but I would find it much more realistic if an airline announces an hub or base ( at least from one certain country ), this jumping off operational bases are a bit unrealistic. Means You will not find Qantas operating in Europe or British Airways doing same in Australia. Of course there should be a "rule" of creating AND issueing that of let's say max. 1-2 subsidiaries operating from somewhere else...
Will this ever be a future addition of a wanted (!) realistic game / simulation ?!?

THIS GAME IS A FREE MARKET GLOBAL ECONOMY!!!!!! IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT, TOUGH!!!!!

The game is fine as is. If we had to fight for landing rights in every country we fly to, we'd all be bankrupt.

and yes, it's been brought up to death!

end of rant

When Piercey says "end of rant", it shows he is just venting his spleen, and we should not take him too seriously, and definitely not be offended.

Nathaniel, I cannot tell the difference from when you are just venting your spleen and when you are flaming an individual. I prefer Piercey's method.

It?s true it?s a global economy simulation, but it is a simulation and should simulate home territory/region. That?s another reason why there are alliances and code shares. You?ll never see American Airlines doing flights from Tokyo to Shanghai or Cairo to Johannesburg. You can huff and puff all you want but to make a simulation better one must try to implement more details to make the simulation like what its is suppose to simulate. It?s a good suggestion. :cool:

But in Europe you do have Malev flying Dublin - Helsinki!

[Coeurlion]

Ture, but they maybe considered a continuating flight and since Europe is considered as one market, any European airline can do what they wish in Europe.

Miller has said he wants to simulate the economics of the airline industry, not the politics. Thats why you'll see no restrictions @ DAL, DCA, LGA, or HND.
