Starting an airline

Un1 — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 18:17:57 GMT

Un1:

{{Game Help Nav}}

== What you will get to start ==
(This section needs major renovation)
Once you have decided on a world in which to play (see the [[Introduction to the different game worlds]] page for more details), in general, you will be granted:

#Cash
#Gates to operate at a single airport
#A choice of leased aircraft as listed below.

*'''SIM3'''
**ATR-42-400
**Bombardier Q300

*'''SIM4'''
**CRJ-100
**Saab 2000

*'''AE1'''
**Airbus 319-100
**Boeing 737-300

== What next? ==
To start a new airline - or access your existing airlines - go the to [http://www.airlineempires.org/index.php?app=ae My Airlines page]. Each playable world will be listed below with summary information on current number of airlines, progress in the game, etc. Simply enter the name of your desired new airline in the provided textbox and click "Enter World".

Airline creation will take you step by step through establishing your airline, including selection of aeroplanes as shown above and location of your initial gate agreements. Note that the textbox next to the airports dropdown acts as a filter and not a direct selection of your desired airport, so please ensure that an airport is selected in the dropdown before proceeding.

Congratulations! You have launched your new airline. Now proceed to investigate your first route by leasing a gate at another airport (see the [[Leasing gates]] section).

Having started your airline, your first act of CEO is to manage your costs. Of note, by negotiating leases with aeroplane manufacturers and with airports, you have created on-going monthly liabilities, so spend your initial cash wisely.

Introduction to the different game worlds

Un1 — Mon, 31 May 2010 18:02:05 GMT

Un1:

The different game worlds are the different versions of AE.
* SIM1: Sim 1 is the oldest version of AE, it is also the first one to be created. Sim 1 has no support and does not get any new features since the only one with admin powers is miller who is not around anymore. This is one of the two sims that run a real life production game with start and end dates.

* SIM2: Sim 2 is a almost stand still version with very little bugs and very little new features. It does have some support however and unlike sim 1 it does not run a real life production system.

* SIM2 BETA: Sim 2 Beta is the newest and most advanced game. It has lots of support, more features and runs a real life production game. There are multiple bugs so it is reset more frequently than any other sim but it does go faster and allows faster growth.

* SIM3: Sim 3 is a competitive and fast stand still game. There are little to no bugs and runs a 1 - 10 year game. It has some support but never gets any new features.
