| April 26, 2005 Airline Empires Returns from Server Fiasco with Different Address |
| As I'm sure you're all aware, Airline Empires has experienced a much longer down time than originally planned. The reason for this is due to domain name issues with the AirlineEmpires.com domain name, and the server perviously used. To put a long story short, the airlineempires.com domain is not transferrable to the new server, thus we had to create and use the airlineempires.net address. The game is still paused, and we are making the changes to ensure a smooth transition of all features to the new page. |
| April 13, 2005 Airline Empires Downtime |
| The Airline Empires server will be down for a few days while we move to a new server. The game will be paused in the meantime and will resume in a few days. We are working diligently to minimize this down time. |
| April 4, 2005 Airline Empires Manual |
|
The first articles to the Airline Empires Online Collaboration Manual have been written. The manual is being maintained within Air Wiki, and is constantly under construction.
Its success is dependent upon the many players contributing to the manual. Do not hesitate to edit the manual using experiences you have learned while playing the game. To view the manual, go to The Airline Empires Manual. |
| March 21, 2005 Reset Complete. Ae v.02 begins. |
|
The new version of Airline Empires is now playable. Read about the new features in the forum |
| March 13, 2005 Reset Planned for Thursday, March 17 |
|
In preparation for the next version of the simulation, Airline Empires will be reset on Thursday, March 17. All airlines will be reset but
usernames and airline names will remain. The next version should begin within a week following the reset with several new features. |
| February 24, 2005 First Game Reset |
|
The first round of alpha testing will be winding to a close in the next coming weeks.
Whether or not to include the new aircraft database into the game once the reset has taken place
has yet to be decided. The developers have been working on some elusive bugs with the new database,
and we want to iron them out before releasing it to testing. Once the game is reset, it will take a few days
until the game is playable again, however all players will retain their accounts. Thanx to all the testers for
their patience. |
| September 15, 2004 Route Map Demo |
|
The routemap has been progressing to the point where we can publish a demo. It should the route map of a random airline immediately below this text. The map
uses lat/long information to place a city on the map, which incorporates projection error that is unavoidable. Some cities (such as Milwaukee) are skewed on the map, however
their location is accurate in relation to the other cities. The map uses Flash, so in order to be able to see the route map, you'll need to have flash installed. To view the map,
follow this link. |
| September 1, 2004 New Aircraft Database Preview |
| We have finished researching the updated aircraft database which can be found here. When this new database is implemented into the game, not only will you be able to choose from 130 different aircraft, but you'll also be able to choose which engines to use on your aircraft. Each engine exhibits different performance abilities and economics for the aircraft, so be careful which engine you decide to use. The new aircraft/engine database is planned to be implemented within the month. |
| May 23, 2004 Airline Empires Alpha Testing |

Welcome to the new Airline Empires website. Soon, you will be able to control the executive aspects of an airline. From fleet planning to labor relations,
Airline Empires employs the most recent algorithms to give you a realistic experience as an airline CEO. Beware, however, that the same realism could very easily
be responsible for your airline's bankrupcy.
