Hey folks!
@inno87 and I (@Cirrus91) are restarting/resetting our server to allow many new players to join nice and early, and to make some tweaks to the original configuration. We already have 5 players lined up for the server and will launch when we reach 12.
The goal of our “Reality” Airlinesim server is to reflect the real world as closely as possible. We achieve this through a mix of server settings, realistic aircraft availability in the aircraft market, and player rules that try and keep the game fair between players of different playing styles.
Over the past 5 months, we have operated a gameworld called “Reality”. Sadly, my work (in aviation actually) got in the way. Taking these learnings to heart, we’re doing this restart while bringing on board additional moderators to help run recruiting, payments, and Discord.
Detailed server configuration settings and player rules can be found in this Google Document. Here we can easily maintain and evolve the rules as we learn and improve the server: You can find the Google Doc here:https://bit.ly/3kukpve
Instead of messaging us here and requesting access to the server, we ask that you use the Google Form linked below. This will help us keep track of new users and have everyone’s contact info in one place (confidential).
I had a specific question regarding your market situation - if you are loading 1/3 of the categories over 200, why aren’t you loading 1/3 of everything? I mean there are some planes (the A332, 73J, and E-145 comes to mind) with 150-190 planes, so there would be 75 A330-300 and 175 A330-200 (or 100 73W and 193 73J) at the beginning? I feel like a balanced 1/3 load would be better, and would make more sense.
Also, are you not using 737 MAX/A320neo? or are those #s blended into the main categories?
@jetcruise0707 Good point. The main thinking was that regional aircraft are cheap, so we need larger inventory. I like your thinking though.
I propose we make it 1/3rd of everything, except regional aircraft.
We did not add NEOs and MAXs as they are not available on used markets in the real world (minus a handful of exceptions).
Sounds interesting - I’ve never played on a private server before. I don’t have a huge amount of free time to play AS (20-30 minutes a day usually). Am I too noob?
It really depends what you do in those 20-30 minutes. Spending less time does not necessarily disqualify you from being good (many of the most advanced people only log in every other day, in fact), but it could prevent you from quick expansion. This applies to all servers, public or private. AS requires time to be proficient in it, but spending less time does not necessarily mean you are bad. If that makes sense.
Private servers are a different experience for sure, but they can be fun in their own ways
@octarine 20-30 minutes a day is more than enough! We have plenty of experienced players on the servers (and plenty of less experienced ones) that can help you become really efficient at planning.
We will also provide a number of tools (spreadsheet-based) that provide top-notch performance calculations to determine your fleet plans (and calculate the most profit optimal aircraft based on user market, fuel burn, cargo revenues, etc.) to help you get started.
With the server humming along, we have a few spots remaining in major airports around the world. Asia is wide open with opportunities, Europe has plenty of 9/10 airports available, and the USA is lacking hubs at airports such as BOS, SFO, and more!
So great to see this restarting!!! Really recommend joining as v1 was already great and rather realistic. I’m sure this one will be even better… Sign me up!!!
