In Topic: Improving US and US Territories Politically

28 January 2016 - 02:16 AM

Most of my previous concerns on US Territories were addressed. However, these are more minor ones that need to be looked at.

 

US Virgin Islands

A new 'Country' needs to be created for the US Virgin Islands as it's a territory and not a state.

STT and STX need to be added to this. Political restrictions should be the same of the US.

 

Puerto Rico

Political restrictions of the United States need to be implemented, notably Cuba.

 

Guam

Political restrictions of the United States need to be implemented.

 

Northern Mariana Islands

Political restrictions of the United States need to be implemented.

 

American Samoa

Political restrictions of the United States need to be implemented.

 

Compact of Free Association (Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau)

US Airlines should be allowed to operate to, in, and from these as if they were territories or the mainland. There is real world precedent that they are treated no differently to US Territories, except in the fact that US Political Restrictions should not apply to airlines based there.

 

Example... Marshall Islands airline can operate as a US Airline in all ways, but can also fly to Cuba, DPRK, Iran, etc. A US airline, however, could not do a flight from the Marshall Islands to Iran.

 

Dallas Love (DAL)

While the Wright Amendment is active, all international service should be restricted from DAL... Meaning flights from Mexico, even if they are under the seat count should not be allowed.

Sounds like a solid proposition.


In Topic: Add a "reduce ticket prices by x%" button

I find the "match lowest ticket price" function has no effect sometimes so you have to go into the route manually and change prices, how about a "reduce ticket prices by 5/10%"?

Agreed.


In Topic: Use Aircraft Market - 0 Years old

26 January 2016 - 11:33 PM

That could be either players buying aircraft and then selling it shortly afterwards because it is terribly inefficient and they can barely make any money off of it (such as the Tupolev Tu-104), 

 

Or it could be players buying new aircraft and then immediately selling it so they can have another airline operated by that same person in the same world buy the aircraft, gaining an advantage over others.

 

Or it could be the server putting aircraft on the used market, although I highly doubt this because I'm pretty sure the server always puts aircraft that are at least three years old.


In Topic: Tristar or DC-10

25 January 2016 - 09:33 PM

guys just admit dc-10 is better more have sold and they look nicer than l1011

DC-10 sold more because

1. Douglas has had a lot more experience in the commercial aircraft industry

2. Douglas had better marketing

3. The Tristar was delayed because of problems at Rolls-Royce 

 

None of the above reasons warrant the DC-10 being the superior aircraft. In my opinion, the Tristar is better.

 

Also the tail of the DC-10 is just ugly. Looks like some kid glued an engine on top of the fuselage and then a tail on top of the engine.


In Topic: Whats your oldest in service AC?

Around 50 50 year old DC-7s in R-0. Too lazy to replace them.
