'''Open Worlds'''
'''Open Worlds'''
-
** In this world, there are no restrictions or political boundaries limiting where an airline can fly. Expansion is generally quicker, and airlines can fly any city pair in the world.
+
* Open worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'O' (e.g., O1, O2, O3).
-
** Each airline can lease up to 40% of all gates at an airport, or 75% if it's a hub.
+
* There are no restrictions or political boundaries limiting where an airline can fly--i.e., airlines can fly any city-pair in the world as well as open a hub and build terminals at any airport in the world.

-
** For example, consider three countries: A, B, and C. An airline based in Country A can fly between A and B or A and C but not between B and C.

* Special/theme worlds are defined by worlds that start with the letter 'S' (e.g., S1, S2, S3).
-
**Current Special worlds are S1 (Gate/terminal/hub limit), S2 (No leasing) and R-Delta (Unlimited airlines)
+
* Special/theme worlds operate with a special restriction such as a hub limit, using propeller planes only, high employee salaries, etc.
