#264621 Adding operating licenses to the game

Even then I don't know if that will stop them. When your DOP is 150M+ it won't make a difference if they have to pay more. It would actually give them something to spend all that money on.

Hmm... That's someone who doesn't have a life.

#265614 What is up with an airport

Posted by Dakota1603 on 08 March 2018 - 05:09 AM in New Players and Questions

Why does Miami downtown only service helicopters. There is a 600+ passenger demand from Chicago. And how can a helicopter taxi to a gate? It only has 50 of them.

I find this very strange.

I guess that makes sense but does it actually have 50 "gates"

Agreed. Cargo would be awesome.

#265762 tips and tricks?

Posted by Dakota1603 on 09 March 2018 - 11:03 PM in New Players and Questions

First, don't start off in Australia. US or China is a decent place to start.

Second, don't try to do long haul. Build from a small regional network. Start with airports within 500 miles then slowly grow from there.

Third, max out your hours until you learn how to play. Use the planes as much as possible.

Once you do this a few times you'll break the general learning curve of the game and start trying to make it harder on yourself and playing slightly more 'realistic'.

I disagree with the start in the USA advice. You are going to have a Minimum of 30+ other airlines competing over popular routes. The USA is more for experienced players.

My advice is find a country that doesn't have a lot of competition and start there. Here is some countrys I suggest but please note it depends a lot on the world you start in and when. I'm not listing them in any order.

1. Mexico
2. Spain
3. Turkey
4. Japan
5. Canada
6. Greece

I'm confused. 20 Minutes after this post you say you will take someone else's airline for them with some 200+ Planes. But your a noob?

#272477 Sharing an airline

I'm Interested. What is the name of your airline so I can take a look?

#272526 Hi, I'm a beginner

My advice is be careful what country you start in. Some are easier then others. Try and stay away from the USA.

Try and stay away from routes with competition while your starting out. Once your established, you can start to compete for routes.

The first year or so are the hardest. once you start making a DOP of around 2 or 3 million, it should get easier.

Lastly, set smaller goals. Instead of thinking you're going to get in the top 3 airlines, try to be the 1st airline in your country. Or try to be the top 100. I know this sounds easy but it takes a while to get the hang of the game. It took me about 5 different trys to finally get my airline to stay afloat.

Good luck. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need help running it or have anymore questions.
