The Speed World is open!

[Sami]

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 (no real-life geopolitical limitations).
  
  
• 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!

Is there another scenario starting soon?

[Sami]

I'll post plans for this a bit later this week. Due to other tasks, not starting yet this weekend for sure.

Any wishes for the setup/details of next such shorter game?

[SpongebobInlaid]

Dont see why not!

Sounds like a plan.

[gazzz0x2z]

busy with age of flight, so no this time for me. A no-jets game would be funny, but it might be tough to set up.

I'd like to see one without the "3 fleet penalty" and set in the earlier years to show some of the under used types some love.

No jets would be an interesting game too but limited options in the late game for fleets. A regional challenge (only small & medium) might be better for that time frame.

Sounds like a plan.

Did anything come of this?  Will there be a new world starting soon?

Sorry for the delay - time has been a bit limited for me with several universities starting their autumn semester with our custom educational edition of the simulation. But you can expect the next shorter game to start in the later part of next week.
