The Speed World is open!

11.03.2023 - 11:00
 

Welcome to the latest Speed World game!

The Speed World is a game world with modified settings and faster speed compared to our regular scenarios.

The setup of this scenario follows a similar theme like the previous Speed World rounds:

  • Time span: 1995 - 2025, at 20 minutes per game day.
  • Normal difficulty level / Medium length scenario.
  • All airports globally and all aircraft models included.
  • Expansion to airports outside own HQ country is possible from the beginning.
  • Flat global income tax rate of 25% in all countries.
  • The overall play duration of this game is about 5 months.


If it has been a while since you started at early stages in a major AirwaySim game, here are a few reminders and tips:

  • The game clock is paused for the first day and will start moving after 24 hrs.
  • The used aircraft market will refresh several times during the first static 24 hour day (but you can only make two orders for aircraft during the first day).
  • There is a good supply of used aircraft available to begin with, but the used aircraft market will soon become limited and the popular aircraft types are sold/leased very quickly. Take care when picking the aircraft you plan to use and plan to order aircraft directly from the manufacturers.
  • New aircraft ordering will be available after the time starts to move (= from day 2 of the simulation), but it is of course always recommended to lease several used aircraft to begin with.
  • Be patient with the route sales figures since your Route Image grows slowly. Do not spend all your cash on planes at once, remember to leave a good reserve. It takes time to gain profits and there might be unexpected early problems..
  • Some popular airports will for sure become limited on airport slots soon. This is normal and you should use larger aircraft or other airports in that case. Please remember that slots are only available when the airport infrastructure expands.
  • The passenger demand will grow steadily during the course of the game, and is rather low at the very beginning.
  • Consider joining an alliance from early stages of the game, they are great resources for improving your game play (tips and help from fellow players).

Welcome to join the latest AirwaySim airline game and have fun!

AirwaySim has always two concurrent Beginner's World scenarios running (BW#1 and BW#2). They both use the same settings and same time frame.

Our beginner game series is aimed for all newbies and other players wishing to test different playing styles in an easier environment. Duration of one scenario is always approximately 60 real days. The scenario runs for ~10 game years with a speed of 25 minutes per day, and all of AirwaySim's main features are included in these scenarios.

When a BW scenario ends, a new one will start within a few days. The two scenarios are running in parallel so that there is always one BW scenario start every month.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

24.12.2022 - 12:09

We wish everyone Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

Thanks for playing AirwaySim and being part of our virtual airline manager community!

The year 2022 has been unexpectedly busy for the developer since the airline industry has bounced back from Covid very rapidly. This meant nearly 800 flying hours in the real-world workplace, added with business degree studies, and IT projects for a local airline. But year 2023 promises more time for AirwaySim development since the next year will include only part-time flying, and completion of the studies and other major projects during winter.

An open beta testing of some new features (technical system changes) will be available soon - stay tuned for details!


As always as part of our Christmas traditions the code XMAS2022 will give you a 15% discount until Dec 27th 23.59 UTC for your next Credits purchases.

Be sure to subscribe to our Facebook page for the latest updates, and join our Discord chat to meet other AirwaySim's airline managers.

Airline Generations game is now open

26.11.2022 - 11:00
 

This round of the epic-length AirwaySim airline simulation scenario, Airline Generations, is now open!

This is one of our three concurrent epic-length airline sim scenarios, starting in the 1950s and running all the way into year 2035. An ultimate challenge for virtual airline managers!

This game world follows the standard settings for long AirwaySim games:

  • Time span: 1950 - 2035, at 30 minutes per game day.
  • Normal difficulty level / Epic length scenario.
  • All airports globally and all aircraft models included.
  • The overall play duration of this game is about 1.5 years.

Game play related settings specific for this scenario:

The start-up settings for Airline Generations game will feature a bit harder initial setup than usually, with a) somewhat limited aircraft availability, b) a bit more expensive airport slots, and c) a bit higher fuel price than usually. But still within the normal standard game world difficulty range.

On the plus side, the amount of airport slots should be plentiful and also the cargo demand is slightly elevated compared to the very, very early starting date of 1950. Also airports of Durban (FADN), Johannesburg (FAJS), Helsinki - Vantaa (EFHK), Greater Southwest International (KGSW) and Moscow - Sheremetyevo (UUEE) are already opened, in contrast to the real history since these airport opened in 1951, just to allow a few more reasonable starting airport choices for the long game.


If it has been a while since you started at early stages in a major AirwaySim game, here are a few reminders and tips:

  • The game clock is paused for the first day and will start moving after 24 hrs.
  • The used aircraft market will refresh several times during the first static 24 hour day (but you can only make two orders for aircraft during the first day).
  • There is a good supply of used aircraft available to begin with, but the used aircraft market will soon become limited and the popular aircraft types are sold/leased very quickly. Take care when picking the aircraft you plan to use and plan to order aircraft directly from the manufacturers.

The Modern Times is now open!

The Modern Times scenario is now open!

This game lets you take control of your airline in the present and future era. You will begin after 9/11 when the airline business starts to recover again, and can manage your airline all the way until year 2035.

The basic settings are:

  • Time span: 2003 - 2035, at 30 minutes per game day.
  • Normal difficulty level / Medium length scenario.
  • All airports globally and all aircraft models included.
  • The overall play duration of this game is about 8 months.
  • Special rule: There is no "aircraft based outside HQ" limitation - you may grow your airline larger than in the regular games (but the normal real-world geopolitical basing limitations do still exist)

If it has been a while since you started at early stages in a major AirwaySim game, here are a few reminders and tips:

  • The game clock is paused for the first day and will start moving after 24 hrs.
