Hey,

I am pretty new to this forum and have only found this game a few days ago. But so far, I am really enjoying what I am seeing.

But for me there is one major problem, which is making the game pretty boring from my POV. When I started my first save up with my favourite Airline (Emirates), I expected to have their real life fleet, as well as their routes already implemented into the game. I actually expected the same from all the other Airlines, but that was not the case. Even worse is the fact, that Airlines buy planes, but do not schedule them onto routes. Lufthansa e.g. had 119 planes in their fleet but only flew one route.

My suggestion would be, to have various supporters help gathering data from maybe the 50 biggest airlines in the world and implement them into the game.

I think it would make an Airline founding much more interesting and would boost the competitiveness of the game.

Guys, be careful from the currently spreading virus.  Stay safe from it.

Currently, you can only order airliners and receive a discount for purchasing in bulk.

I think that aircraft manufacturers should approach the user 1-2 years before a new aircraft model hits the market to acquire a launch customer. For example, the Boeing 777X is coming out mid-2020. In 2019, Boeing contacts airlines and asks if they would like to become the launch customer for the 777X. By accepting, the airline would need to pre-order at least X airliners at a discounted price and would be the first to receive any aircraft of the type.

This feature would add the ability to pre-order a great amount of airliners of a certain type at a discounted price and to receive them as soon as possible. This could also play in to manufacturer loyalty, for example, by providing a greater discount to an Airbus-only company if they are the launch customer on the A321neoXLR (or any other new Airbus model) or by first offering the role of launch customer to an airline that has been loyal to the manufacturer. Moreover, if the user were to decline the offer, an AI airline could become the launch customer.

All in all, I think that a system involving launch customers would be beneficial to the game as well as add another aspect of realism to the game.

Greetings to all,

I was wondering how to edit aircraft specifications?

6 years go, Manston Airport in Kent was closed down to build housing.
I was on the last KLM Cityhopper flight from Amsterdam to a crowd of 1,000 people watching it in.
Well yesterday the Government announced that it would grant permission for Riveroak Strategic Partners to develop Manston into the World Greenest state of the Art and UK's first dedicated air freight Hub.
To see there plans go to www.rsp.co.uk (Simon, all the documentation with stats forthe game can be found here)
Here is the BBC news report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-53350272
This has been the hardest fight of my life but we won.

Hey guys,

I recently downloaded the game and so far i'm having alot of fun playing it.
I currently have a route from MNL to JFK but the distance is greater than my 747 flight distance. I was thinking of MNL > SFO > JFK, but there isnt any option for it.
Is it possible to have stopovers?

Hello,

I want to understand how to select correct departing time for your flight.

For example, if I schedule a flight from London Heathrow to JFK leaving LHR @12, I get almost 98-100% of filled capacity on that flight.

However, if I schedule the same flight for some other time, say 8, I do not get the same amount of filled capacity. 

So how to decide the best departure time?

Thanks in advance for the help.

When will we get the next Status Update?

Hello All,

I am currently playing as Delta in my current save (2.14) and was able to buy 65% shares of Lufthansa. How do I merge the fleet of Lufthansa with Delta or how do I get access to the entire Lufthansa fleet. Since I have bought 65% shares, do I now own Lufthansa?

Thanks,

Akshay

I've noticed that there is currently no way to go back to the main menu when in-game. Could you add a main menu button to TAP: TNG?
