Welcome to Historia !

This new server has a specific idea in mind: we want to start with the most retro aircraft possible and make our way towards current times. You will be able to operate the B707 or DC8 all the way to the A350ULR and A220 !

How about running a Tristar airline in the 80s ?

The concept is simple: we start in 1970. At a certain variable pace, the world evolves from 1970 to 2023+. There are milestone which coincide with specific interesting years for aviation, either event-related or plane technology.

You start with B707, DC9s, Old (but extremely cheap) turboprops from post WWII, Ilyoushin quadroprops, B727/737 first generations. Soon, the 1975 approach and the first alternative jet planes are manufactured. The soviet gets come. The 1980s show a big diversity of planes. Better turboprop come, with better image and fuel consumption, and Airbus appears and shakes the market, while soviet design improve as well. Older planes will disappear from the catalogue, but you will be able to keep them. If that is a good idea is up to you: should you renew your fleet, or should you invest in more efficient and attractive planes?

Another important aspect is real-events of the aviation economy will unfold. There will be variable load factors during downturns. Oil crisis ? Gulf war ? 9/11 ? Yes, you might need to be prepared and keep a bit of cash, like real airlines do!

Also, if you want to opt-in for it (understand: this is not mandatory) we will have players participate in silly parallel mechanics where the oldest fleets will have an increased chance of having a simulated crash happen and an associated cost to it. They will need to publicly apologize in the name of their airline for bad management. There might be hacking, there might be near misses… Who knows :slight_smile: Again this is optional, if you prefer chilling without thinking about saving extra money for crashes, you do not need to sign up for this.

Oops

Finally we would like to mention we do plan on introducing two new features on request to simulogics:

1. Noise ban will be lifted. Otherwise, the oldest planes cannot fly in noise restricted airports (the European ones mostly.
2. The 5th rule will be worldwide. Meaning: technically speaking, any airline will be able to operate anywhere in the world, like they used to do in the 1970/80s. We will control and avoid world spread of big players, the idea being more the ability to more or less recreate the historical spread of airlines in the early years before planes were able to fly 15h.

PanAm’s network will be possible, albeit with a few rules to avoid world domination.

If you are interested, below are the specific rules, and before that here is the discord link:

Note: 65e include payment for the extra features requested to simulogics (they do not code for free) and to cover for occasioanl drop outs after the first 3 months. Once paid for, the payment will go down to a price similar to usual servers, stabilizing to normal price divided by the number of participants. It’s of course an ‘NGO’ so all money will go towards the server.

Will the Vc10 be available on this game world?

8

We are using - all - planes available, but there aren’t any new ones because those are unrelated to private worlds.

So no we do not have Vc10

9

I am very interested in this historical game world, but I am sorry to be told that it is not suitable for this game world

10

You have to pay for it. Credits are not the way to pay a private server.

11

It is now 1971 !

Notable additions to the catalogue:

  • yak 40 short haul soviet jet, suited for short term fast flights to regional airports only
  • MD DC10: massive capacity of 380 seats, good for mid haul high capacity flights

Hi :slight_smile: Creator of Historia here :slight_smile:

The server is well kicking and alive. We just reached the 1980s, yeayy!

We have special rules developped by AS for us:

  • international rights for flights to recreate retro style networks, we rule them to avoid airlines to spread everywhere for no reason
  • planes are almost all ordered new, but they come way faster than regular servers. Think several a day for a little plane, several a day for 747s, many a day for a tiny plane.

If you want to join, there is at least 1, maybe 2 or 3 (depends on people who are too busy) slots available. Starting from the 1980s you would get a bonus of cash to catch up.

For info, 1980 at the moment so relevant planes available are

  • 727
  • 737
  • A300
  • MD80 (just released)
  • 747 (200/SP)
  • DC10
  • Tristar
  • Il62 + Yak + Tu 154 + Let410
  • Dash 7, Trislander

Upcoming: 767+757 will be game changer for airlines :slight_smile:

Here is a page of the Gazette which is the local newspaper with how people reacted to the first crisis we had, mimicking the 73’s oil crisis :slight_smile:

Come following this link : Historia Server

Price is set at 15€ forever. I will never ask for more than 15e, I absorb the difference, and it is calculated as the price to pay for the server if full. When it’s not, I don’t make you pay more :slight_smile:

Unfortunately since it’s the 1980s things are also getting more expensive; since the natural solution to things getting more expensive is for there to be more money to pay for them, we’re looking at increasing holding funds to $100m for new starters. It’s looking like we’re going to have a few player spots open up over the next few days, so there’s an opportunity to party like it’s yesterday with a bank account from today.

Come join up and make history with us!

20

We have a few slots free, as month 6 is appearing and a few people are not responding or staying you have open slots again! The new starting money will be 100M to catch up with competition starting from now.

Embark on History!
