Ideas about the some new features - javiator - 03-23-2018
Like hei28ssk said, thank you pjank and everyone else who contributed to this game. I have a few ideas of what new features can be added into the game.
1. Time zone: I believe V1 has similar feature where you can see destination time when you hover above the flight. It will be more realistic if the game takes different timezone into account.
2. Discount for buying multiple planes at once: gives players motive to buy multiple planes at once, not one at a time.
3. Dynamic plane delivery period: Maybe give player option to choose when and how often to receive their new planes.
4. Maybe offer different engine options?
These are just few ideas off my head. Hope its useful!
Best,
Javiator

v1 had all that
RE: Ideas about the some new features - javiator - 03-24-2018
The real question is will we see some of these features in v2 again
RE: Ideas about the some new features - pjank42 - 03-25-2018
And the answer for that is some of the features will be implemented already for the next major release :-)

Best news of the day
RE: Ideas about the some new features - hei28ssk - 03-25-2018
the most urgent feature of them all is the one when you can affect an airliner to an existing route in one click just like in v1

Some ideas for the gameplay.
The starting funds should be taken as loan and 10 years running time for example. Nobody gets something for free.
In addition, takeing loan be limited at the beginning. No income, no loan. Build trust with the credit institutions.
Also an idea would be, a newly founded airline (starting new game) starts with the lowest license. After a reliable operation an extended
license can be applied for long haul flights, for example as in India (5 years domestic flights without problems and 20 airliners in the fleet).
Maintenance may be outsourced to maintenance companies like "Lufthansa Technik" or "AFI KLM E&M" for the C/D checks.
A newly founded airline should not be listed at the stock market at the beginning and an IPO be possible later.
Just few ideas

writing it down for our economics update.

You are able at the moment to create a fantasy airline with any license you want.
I'm in favour of getting a slightly more in depth license system. But restricting new companies to domestic flights is not how it works IRL? (Eg.: Air Belgium starting with a Brussels to Hong Kong route)

yup, part of the economics/AI update as well.

I'm not educated very well on the stock market, but isn't it possible for a starting company to immediately go on the market?
Perhaps companies should be able to start with owning 100% of the stock?
Actually I'd like to improve the 'create new game' screen with some new features at some point.
In this new screen you'd be able to set your starting capital, starting loan, starting fleet.
A new idea to add to this (that you just gave me) would be a starting investor and giving him part of the stock. (thus in exchange for the money)

Investor sounds good.
To bring a new airline without income directly to the stock market? The stock market should be an option for later growth.
You need a business plan, listing costs money and follow-up costs are still there, like dividends.
In my opinion, in the beginning, not to allow the stock market.
The idea with the license, like India, could be an option.

Yes, I guess it can only be applied to several countries. There are state owned airliners which are required to operate international flights by the government. For example, PA was once the only airline authorized by the U.S. government operating international flights, CA was designed to be the only international flight carrier in China until CZ and MU started their flight to Japan
