#262643 I'm giving away airlines

Posted by Dakota1603 on 01 February 2018 - 11:32 PM in Airline Takeover / Shared Control Requests

I have created a Steam group dedicated to giving away airlines. I have found out that I get bored after my airline becomes a certain size so after an airline becomes a certain size I will give it away. The link is http://steamcommunity.com/groups/AENP

Because it's easier for me to let people know in a group then it would be to let people know on this forum. And I figured most people have steam by now. It's also easier for people to request Airlines from me.

I could possibly help out. I can't be on 24-7 but can be on for a while in the late afternoon. What would you want me to do and where is the airline located?

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?

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.

#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.

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

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.

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

#263535 Is it possible to start late and finish in top 3?

Posted by Dakota1603 on 11 February 2018 - 12:22 AM in New Players and Questions

You still have plenty of time to get ahead. Where did you start your airline? That's going to play a big role.

#263607 Is it possible to start late and finish in top 3?

Posted by Dakota1603 on 11 February 2018 - 06:33 PM in New Players and Questions

I don't know much about Chile. The USA and UK it would be nearly impossible as the USA normally has 50+ airlines. I am currently running Copa Airlines in Panama City witch is nice because there is no competition. It all depends on when and where you start.

#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
