#221650 Why do people do this?

Posted by Forthwall on 10 August 2016 - 05:17 PM in General AE Discussion

R1, again R1 (the one still running), and now this R5 :D

I swear I've seen you years ago, maybe it was flying piggy




#221594 Why do people do this?

Very good, sweetheart :awesome:

Have you counted how many (wasted) hours it took you given you degree of proficiency with the game? :rofl2:

This is my 3rd game on AE and... currently as it is in R5, having you 66% more of planes scheduled, 72% more passenger carried for only having 20% higher valuation than The Flying Cow... that can only be considered as an achievement of having an excess of free time but not mastery of the game. Are you sure that's something to be proud of?... :awesome:

 

I'm sure you can do better, but it's already good that you are trying that hard, keep it up or it would be too boring again :dance: :dance3: :dance2:

Third game? You've been for a year :P

#221455 Best and Worst Airports?

Posted by Forthwall on 07 August 2016 - 06:25 AM in Real World Aviation

Best US - SLC (Short and sweet, never went through security due to it being a transfer)

Honorable Mentions: MSP (Fun to walk around), SJC (Never a long line in security)

Worst US - JFK (They fixed this as I remember, but you used to have to leave the airport to transfer from immigration to the old pan-am terminal..., otherwise, it's really filthy)

Most Improved Airport From Last Visit USA - DEN (They fixed their security lines a little bit)

 

Best Int - TPE (Huge, so many things to do, great Ice-Cream, an arcade where everything was free, it made my 4 hour transfer a nice break)

Honorable Mentions: KIX/NRT (Huge mall and viewing stations), YYZ (Chill AF)
Worst Int - BOM (Literally half of it was under construction, so it'll probably get most improved when I return)

Most Improved Airport - SIN (I was there before they Singapore Airlines and SIN revamped, it was crowded before)

 

Best Regional - MCE (Literally no airport, just get through a tiny security check in a shed and walk to the plane)
Worst Regional - IAG (The rental car agency in the airport doesn't have cars sometimes aka, our time)




#221453 Worst plane you've ever been on.

Posted by Forthwall on 07 August 2016 - 06:11 AM in Real World Aviation

767-300ER Delta Operated by KLM from AMS-BOM. Cramped, even for a Delta plane, no IFE besides large movie projector. :\\\\

I'm fine with flying in smaller planes as long as the flight is makes sense (SLC-SJC on an MD90) and the Seating is somewhat moveable (DAL CRJ from SLC-SJC is way more spacious than a United A320 from MSP-DEN)
