#278937 AirSimWorld: Realistic online airline simulator
Posted by Cheapside on 22 August 2019 - 12:16 AM in Member Projects
Looks neat! Are you thinking for this to be the modern version / improvement of Airline Empires? AirSimWorld does seem to take a bit of inspiration from AE.
#278928 Flight Lisbon Auckland
Posted by Cheapside on 21 August 2019 - 03:35 PM in New Players and Questions
You probably would have better chances with Lisbon to Sydney, but even that is over 11 thousand miles, about a thousand miles outside the range of the 777-200LR. Demand would probably be low too (I've known this from the low demand even from Moscow to Sydney).
#278776 News
Posted by Cheapside on 14 August 2019 - 03:51 PM in Real World Aviation
Oh goodness, this topic has been dead for ... almost 2 years. Better revive it then.
- As the 737 MAX grounding continues through the summer, airlines have turned to 737-200s to service old MAX destinations.
- The first Emirates 777X has had it's folding wingtips painted, though the new widebody's situation looks to be worse off now because of the MAX crisis
- Egyptair's first A220 / CS300 (depends on whether you think it's an Airbus or a Bombardier) has come out of the paintshop about a month ago.
- Widespread protests in Hong Kong over an extradition bill have spilled over into Hong Kong airport, forcing the cancellation of all flights through the 8th busiest airport in the world, and a major hub for 2 airlines and their regional subsidiaries
And...
I can't compare the MAX 7 to the CS300 at this point.
Well, that's even truer now than before. One of them is operating well with multiple airlines around the world, albeit under a different name. The other is grounded.
#278767 Your favorite North American Airport
Posted by Cheapside on 14 August 2019 - 04:06 AM in AE North America
SFO (International Terminal) but also JFK, mostly because planespotting is kind of a thing at both. Also, parallel landings.

#278734 How to know if you're a plane enthusiast.
Posted by Cheapside on 12 August 2019 - 03:30 PM in Off Topic
People wont sit next to you because of it.
Random passenger: So how's life
Me: You know this was the first prototype of the 747?
Random passenger: Oh wow, cool.
Me: It later almost crashed as Northwest Airlines Flight 85 in 2002.
Random passenger: [chilled silence]
<whirring noise>
Random passenger: Uh, what was that?
Me: Just the flaps retracting after takeoff for the climb.
<Random passenger has left the chat>
#278682 Average Fleet Age?
Posted by Cheapside on 09 August 2019 - 06:09 PM in General AE Discussion
Just for the sake of comparison, what is your average fleet age? Mine's is 5 years, and I replace my planes when they are 10 years old.
