The Speed World is now open!

16.09.2023 - 13:02
 

The Speed World game is now open!

Game setup:

  • Time span: 1995 - 2025
  • Speed of the game is twice as fast as usual, at 15 minutes per game day.
  • In this game world there is only the chance to start with a regional airline.
  • You will use the Easy Start mode (no option to revert to Advanced Mode), and your option is only to choose "Airline flying small and/or short routes" from any continent you desire. Thus your new job will be the CEO of a regional airline flying with 2-3 used 40-100 seater planes (such as CRJ, E170 or Avro RJ series), with a good solid foundation to expand your operations from there.
  • Initially only regional aircraft will be available. The whole aircraft selection will be enabled one month into the game (of real time).
  • All airports globally are included.
  • The airline expansion (bases) and geopolitical rules are the same as in real life (normal simulation setup).

The Speed World opening tomorrow

New Beginner's World #1

10.09.2023 - 13:42

A new Beginner's World #1 scenario is now open!

Join here: https://www.airwaysim.com/game/?gView=455#game455

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.

The Age of Flight game is open!

21.07.2023 - 10:00
 

The The Age of Flight scenario 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!

The basic settings are:

  • 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.
  • Special rule: The "out of HQ" aircraft limit is disabled on year 2000 and for the rest of the game you can expand without this limit (geopolitical limitations are still in force).


Game play related settings specific for this scenario:

  • Due to the limited range of the early-era aircraft the Easy Start mode / Start-up Wizard might not find suitable planes for you. In that case simply use the Advanced Start and choose the planes yourself from the used market!
  • The used aircraft selection is very limited since the game starts in year 1950, and you should use some cheap war-surplus DC-3s and similar to get going. There are some DC-6s and CV-240s in the market, but do not build your entire strategy on them.
  • Airports (Johannesburg, Moscow SVO, Helsinki) have been "unrealistically" adjusted to have been opened already Jan-1950 to allow them to be selected as HQs.
  • Please remember that this game follows the standard and real-world setup for the economy and political rules. The expansion outside your own HQ country does not become available until the 1990s and onwards (refer to manual for the basing rules).
  • Cargo demand in 1950s is very low.
  • The initial slot costs might seem high, but they will gradually reduce. Since this is a very long game, the aircraft availability and slot costs are here to reduce the initial airline growth rates.


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).
  • Remember to read the AirwaySim Manual to learn more, and join the Discord chat to meet other players!

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).

Game play related settings specific for this scenario:

Compared to the previous Modern Times game, the availability of used aircraft is lower in this start to give the game a bit more longevity. Majority of the used planes are medium-sized jets, so that's the recommended starting strategy. Airport slots should be in good supply for most of the airports.

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).

Latest e-mail newsletter

04.06.2023 - 08:56

AirwaySim's summer e-mail newsletter has been just sent to all subscribers. It's been a while since we sent out the previous newsletter, but we'll try to send one every two months or so from now on :)

If you are using Gmail as your primary email client, we have a request: Unfortunately due to Gmail's aggressive default filtering settings our newsletter has sometimes troubles in reaching you. Often Google wants to move our occasional and friendly email into the Promotional sub-inbox of Gmail, and this means you easily miss our updates. It would be great if you could move the newsletter email into your Primary inbox and thus teach Gmail to always show our emails. Simply open the email, tap the three dots in the upper corner, and select "Move To", and choose the Primary inbox. This helps you to keep up-to-date on our new games and updates. Thank you!

If you would like to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to/from our newsletter, visit the My Account page.
