Idea for a GW5

As of February 15, 2019, AirwaySim only has 4 core game worlds, along with 2 beginners' worlds, as well as a special-rules short game at times. I want a Game World #5, whose time period can be 1984-2035 game time. It can be titled 'Game World #5: Millennial Flyers', a name inspired by the other name for Generation Y in the United States. New features in it can include, but should not be limited to:


  • AWS TalkUp - a feature that allows a player of a game world to video-chat with her mentor
  • Seat designer - a feature that allows players of a game world to design seats for their aircraft (e.g. a first-class suite)
  • Add rules - a feature that allows players of a game world to create rules that their airline's passengers must follow
  • Complexity of alliances - an upgrade to the alliance feature that makes the in-game alliances have the same functionality as in real life

I have a rule, all revenue passengers must have a valid boarding pass to fly.

    My airline shall have nothing but some hay on the floor and fences around each 'seat'

    Witness the birth of the true cattle class! :o

    My airline would have a measuring seat like they have a measuring thingy for the size of the luggage.

    If the passenger's derriere does not fit, then the passenger will not be allowed on the flight unless he purchases the 2nd ticket.

    Let's take this idea to another level. Every passenger additionally needs to get his weight and height measured. If it exceeds the body mass index (BMI) they'll be charged $5 per extra kilo. Why limit weight surcharges to luggage right?

    As I say, this is an idea for a GW5. Now, I'm explaining more of what can be in a GW5 that lasts between the 1980s and 2030s:


    • Free-of-charge fuel, all the time (as long as you're a frequent buyer of aircraft fuel with world prices)
    • Fuel price stays at 0.99 USD during the second half of a GW5

    Right !   My airline in this would be called "The Mile High Club"   

    I don't offer any seats in my planes at all, there is a padded cushion floor area called "the lounge" roughly central in the aircraft cabin with a circular bar all around it and a pole-dancers pole in the very centre. Everyone just mingles and parties in this area. Throughout the rest of the aircraft, no seats, just WC cubicles.

    Further "rules" for passengers will apply, but too debauched to mention here in such polite society.  ;)

    Sounds like a plan right out the manifesto of certain UK political party - with calculations made by Diane Abbott  :laugh: (for those outside the UK who'd like a good laugh, check this name on YouTube, some histerical interview moments - her maths is incredulous.)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxjkvjHn6Qg

    So, free labor too?

    I think there is a scene from "Wolf of Wall Street" that depicts your description
