The next game worlds at AirwaySim will start on next Friday, April 17th.

We apologize for the additional 5-day delay caused by sudden sickness of the developer - this caused the development to be halted for several days and we were forced to push back the launch of the next games for these couple days so that the needed updates for the next games can be finished (in fact we are still working on them .. you can read more from our forums during this week that what all has been made).

The next games will start during friday evening (approx 18-19 UTC). The first new game world will be early era, starting somewhere in the 1970s. Due to number of players a second world will be most likely set up too a few days after the first one but it's scenario is not decided yet.

If you have any questions please post to our forums.

Im having horrible withdrawal symptums. I've played Aerobiz Supersonic for like 5 days.  :o I need AWS!!!  ;)

Keep up the good work Sami, and btw, will there be an 80's game also? I heard there may be.

I will keep trying to help by finding spelling and grammar errors that need fixing...  someone deleted the thread I started on it, though.

Sorry to hear that you were sick Sami, I am glad to hear that you feel better now.

Just a question, will the second planned game start as well in the 1970s?

Thanks!

Will there be a demo game?

I have several interested people but they want to check it out first. They don't believe me when I say they will be hooked :)

How long will the games go? About the same as the first three?

About 3 real months.

Hi! Will there be fewer countries in this scenario since there were fewer countries in the 1970s (i.e. The Soviet Union only as opposed to all the other countries that became independent after 1990)? Also, will the countries have their old names etc... I can think of Iran as an example which until 1979, was a constitutional monarchy (with a different flag and official name - Empire of Iran) but in 1980, it became an Islamic Republic.

Very sorry if this is a stupid question. I have only just joined. It seems there are so many players waiting for the games to start, is it possible to reserve a place in the game in order to avoid a "game full" message?

Thanks and Regards,

Sami

If a game world will be full, we'll start another. ;)

Not entirely sure about the changing name of Iran, but if the game date is before December 1991, then there will be a Soviet Union instead of Russia, and the countries that left it before this date will leave on the correct dates in game. Same for Yugoslavia, and I guess pretty much every other country in the game.

Will there also be a game starting in the 90s as the ones that just ended?
