What is possible in a customs/private World?

English Boards Exclusive Game Worlds

Hello guys,

I have been pondering about private worlds and what is possible there. I really don’t know the limits of what can be requested and I do wonder if any of you may have an idea. For instance, is it possible to order/request a private World in which the game rules are slightly different, such as:

  • When leased planes that are less than a year old get returned, the player gets a full refund of deposit and cost of seats (since seats are nearly new and get returned to the lessor)

  • Flight Attendants don’t come pre-loaded in planes. Player has to assign according to cabin composition.

- I believe start-up capital can already be modified?

  • I also believe the limits of the ATO immediate delivery program can also be modified?

Beyond all those, I also wonder how much trouble it will be to specify or custom order certain Aircraft types or modify some characteristics in such a customized world? By these, I mean the following:

  • Specify or request the provision of certain plane types to be available as new.

  • request modification of the performance of certain plane types (obviously, requesting player should have necessary data)

  • Introduce a few plane types that have been left out of A/S or ignored. (Again, requesting player may have to have necessary data)

So the question again is, …is this a possibility? Can such a World be requested on A/S. If it were feasible or possible for A/S, I do wonder what the terms may be (possibly a minimum duration too).

Opinions and comments are welcome. Thanks.

All these questions can be answered by Support. Write an email to them as described in the news section from 2nd of September.

Thanks, Highscore2. I guess that link and the information therein pretty much sums it up. It answers all my questions.

 

 This takes away my greatest desire:

“Since exclusive game worlds are identical to public ones, any hard-coded restrictions - e.g. pertaining to aircraft, stock exchange or multiple own holdings - cannot be lifted.”

  • When leased planes that are less than a year old get returned, the player gets a full refund of deposit and cost of seats (since seats are nearly new and get returned to the lessor) – No

  • Flight Attendants don’t come pre-loaded in planes. Player has to assign according to cabin composition. - no. You can deactivate comfort mode but FA split is not possible to change .

  • I believe start-up capital can already be modified? -yes

  • I also believe the limits of the ATO immediate delivery program can also be modified? - most likely yes

-Specify or request the provision of certain plane types to be available as new. - Yes

  • request modification of the performance of certain plane types (obviously, requesting player should have necessary data) - It’s possible invtheory so for a right surcharge I think it could be done

  • Introduce a few plane types that have been left out of A/S or ignored. (Again, requesting player may have to have necessary data) - It’s possible in theory so for a right surcharge I think it could be done

Most remarks here are already pointing in the right direction I guess, but I'll just add some official answers as well.

The linked blog entry is still the most important part, although one thing has changed: It is now possible to lift any restrictions between multiple own holdings on exclusive game worlds.

  • There's no option to configure the depreciation for cabin configurations based on their age (or at all).
  • Only the legal minimum number of flight attendants are "pre-loaded" - but it's all based on the cabin configuration, so you'll always have cabin crew hired when assigning cabin configurations to your aircraft.
  • Start-up capital itself is still 10 million for any holding as usual, but you can always request AS Support to add any additional amount of cash to existing airlines later on, so it doesn't really matter.
  • The IDP budget is fixed as well, but it should be possible to negotiate development to change that. If you're going for faster aircraft deliveries, it might be an easier option to change aircraft delivery times.
  • We have two options for aircraft availability: Only current models or all models being available - you could select a reduced range of aircraft (like on Yeager or Idlewild) and then decide to make them all available for order.
  • Changing some aircraft data (like the number of used aircraft per type or production times or other simple things like that) is possible, but further customization gets messy in terms of game world maintenance. It is certainly possible from a technical perspective, but we'd need to negotiate some surcharge I guess. Just hasn't been requested yet.
