I would like an A320 if possible.  Looking for something quirky rather than conventional.




#151628 Livery Request: Jet5

Posted by jonhen on 14 September 2013 - 06:22 PM in Logo / Livery Requests

Hi All,

 

I was hoping some kind hearted design guru would develop a 'fun' livery for my new airline.

 

Name: Jet5

Slogan: Kick back and relax.

This is my logo at the moment, It's a bit quirky, but that's what I'm looking for with this particular enterprise.

 

Thanks in advance.




#146500 single ticket price airline?

Posted by jonhen on 07 July 2013 - 02:41 PM in New Players and Questions

I'm experimenting with running a $99 economy only airline at the moment - no business/first class, just bog standard eco.....was just wondering has anyone ever had any success with this in game in the past, if so how big did you go?




#144025 Solution to Constant Expansion

Posted by jonhen on 25 May 2013 - 09:56 PM in General AE Discussion

there are loads of great suggestions contained in the previous posts and maybe i've missed this already, but here goes.  Some players might actually like a game world in which they can build mega airlines...and that's entirely fine.

 

We have 'Special Worlds' where artificial constraints are placed on us (one hub for example), so why not just create special 'mega worlds' with no restrictions on growth size and it becomes an option...play it, or not, your choice?

 

With the non-mega worlds maybe place an artificial plane limit on the game (either in terms of total number of planes you can have on your books, or limit the number of aircraft types you can own or a combination of both). 

 

As someone pointed out earlier, we all play different styles and have different ambitions for our own airline, so why create some standardised  system that restricts that ability?  I'm personally not in favour of this becoming an uber realistic sim, but giving players the option seems reasonable?




#128746 Tips for New Players

Posted by jonhen on 23 October 2012 - 11:25 AM in New Players and Questions

Run the airline you want to run would be my 1st piece of advice for anyone playing this game.

I've run multi-billion airlines, I've tried racing to the top in the rankings and I have to say to I've never had as much 'fun' as I am currently trying to make a single price point airline viable in the world I'm playing in.

I'll never get into the top 50 or even 100 probably, I may even go bust shortly but the enjoyment in this game, at least from my perspective, is just trying something and seeing if you can get it to work.

As for the buy many types of aircraft, no buy single families etc I've always thought that's a bit of a red herring really. I, and I'm sure many others, have seen very successful mixed type airlines and single type airlines - like everything in this game it's about timing IMHO. Neither is absolutely right, neither is absolutely wrong.

My 2nd piece of advice is don't, at least initially, pick a fight with another airline on a route without doing your research first. A quick redirect to the other operators overview page will give you a good indication of whether you are capable of sustaining a price and capacity war with them - but ultimately, don't take it personally if you lose or are forced out - this is after all partly a business simulation...
