Periodically I check on here when I have funds and time available. Unfortunately that seems to happen when the bounty system isn't open.
I'd guess that openings are likely tied to amount of progress made on current bounties, time you can allocate to the project, and complexities of the bounty/vote system.
Have you considered making access available during these periods, perhaps with a general contribution?
To eliminate any complexities with bounty/vote management, registrations during this time would not count towards votes or alternately go into the general "carryover" pool, or similar.
Doing this would have the benefit of allowing those of us who have an interest in the development to see the current progress and play with the DLC, while reducing any potential management on your side. For interested users, this would be similar to supporting development through early access, even if we aren't particular about the order that things get developed in. At the same time it might mitigate time/maintenance involvements on your side as you pursue the airline project or ongoing developmet of Gear City Second Gear
