#272526 Hi, I'm a beginner

Posted by Dakota1603 on 24 September 2018 - 11:13 PM in New Players and Questions

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.



#272477 Sharing an airline

Posted by Dakota1603 on 24 September 2018 - 04:27 PM in Airline Takeover / Shared Control Requests

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

Posted by Dakota1603 on 23 April 2018 - 01:45 PM in Airline Takeover / Shared Control Requests

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?

#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

Agreed. Cargo would be awesome.



#265619 What is up with an airport

Posted by Dakota1603 on 08 March 2018 - 05:38 AM in New Players and Questions

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



#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.



#264662 Adding operating licenses to the game

Posted by Dakota1603 on 23 February 2018 - 02:40 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

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



#264621 Adding operating licenses to the game

Posted by Dakota1603 on 22 February 2018 - 06:48 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

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.



#264564 Adding operating licenses to the game

Posted by Dakota1603 on 21 February 2018 - 07:45 PM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I agree we should do something but let's say it's going to cost 500M to operate flights to a another country. If I'm in the USA then I'm fighting 40+ other airlines to get enough money to fly to Canada or Mexico. It would be nearly impossible.

Just like if I wanted to start an airline in Singapore then I wouldn't be able to to fly anywhere else.



#264513 Adding operating licenses to the game

Posted by Dakota1603 on 21 February 2018 - 03:34 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Hmm... What would it take to get a license?

Posted by Dakota1603 on 18 February 2018 - 02:24 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Sorry double post.

Anyways I'm talking about the USA based airline Southwest. All someone has to do is add a space and then they can start it anywhere they want.



#264265 Ban the use of active airline names in-game

Posted by Dakota1603 on 18 February 2018 - 02:20 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

Air Southwest was a real Canadian airline in the 80's, 90's and early 00's... :/




#264264 What are the most clever airline names?

Posted by Dakota1603 on 18 February 2018 - 02:16 AM in General AE Discussion

This thread is for clever airline names you know?

I know. I wish I remember the names but I thought it was kinda funny. Its rare to see any airlines started there. Let alone 2.



#264118 What are the most clever airline names?

Posted by Dakota1603 on 17 February 2018 - 05:45 AM in General AE Discussion

I don't remember the names but in one world two people started airlines in North Korea. I think they both failed.



#264113 Ban the use of active airline names in-game

Posted by Dakota1603 on 17 February 2018 - 05:10 AM in Suggestions and Feature Requests

I agree to a point. I think people have a right to name it whatever they want. As far as the drop down menu, It sounds like a good idea but people will mess that up.

Someone will start South West in Canada so they don't have to deal with the 60+ other airlines in the USA.

I try to model my airlines after airlines in real life as far as destinations goes. I gave up on trying to use the same aircrafts.



#264016 Giving away airline in world R7

Posted by Dakota1603 on 16 February 2018 - 08:54 PM in Airline Takeover / Shared Control Requests

I'm giving away Copa airlines because I wan't to focus my attention on my other airline Midwest airlines. It has 500M and 20 Idle aircrafts. DOP is 5,500,000. It has 1 hub at MPTO.
