After the special Speedy Recovery game we've received requests to redo this format of a fast-paced AirwaySim game, and ladies and gentlemen - we're happy to respond. The Speed World is a new game with fast 15-minute game days and free expansion rules. The game takes place in the most requested period, the near history and the present stage (1995 - 2020).

This game will open this Saturday, June 27th 2020, at 15 UTC (that's 11am in NYC and midnight in Tokyo).

This is a special-rules game with a very quick day speed.

• Time span: 1995 - 2020, at 15 minutes per game day.
  
• Normal difficulty level / Short length scenario.
  
• All airports globally and all aircraft models included.
  
• There are no political restrictions on expanding your airline ( = open new base airports anywhere)
  
• The overall play duration of this game is about 3 months.

Welcome to join the latest AirwaySim airline game!

What sort of demand for pax/cargo settings are we looking at for this one?

Cargo is standard for the era, so not so big to start with. Passenger levels follow the "usual" pattern where it starts low, grows quickly and then grows slowly.


p.s. Why end in 2020 you ask? Because I wanted to keep the game duration at 3 months maximum, and 1995 start was desired (far enough from 9/11 yet still in the modern era which is the most popular according to our recent poll).
