As the two game worlds started about a week ago are almost full at the moment we will be adding another game world that starts later today. The scenario of this world is the same as in 'Air Travel Boom' game which means a relatively easy 1995-2010 world.
As usual you can reach the game worlds thru 'Game Area' tab on the main menu.
Neat. :) Any idea around what time the new game will start?
Second Jet Age game is now open..

Not at least in the next week, have to see then again.
Oh I bought new credits to join the game that you announced this morning :(
Hmm, whops. ;D I am a bit too tired (woke up a 0430 today) as I forgot that plan. I will start that in a few days.

OK no problem :)
That sounds good. :)
I'm just glad you opened another Jet Age game because now I get to start with the planes I want to start with as well as the routes. :D

Why would a second Jet Age start when there is more demand for another Air Travel Boom?

Have to say I agree... I was looking forward to another boom game. Only 17 people have joined the second jet game so far... I think the boom game that Sami said he was going to open would have been more popular!
Admin needs sleep too :)
I think Sami originally meant to create 2nd "Air Travel Boom"game, but accidently creaded "Jet Age".
I'm sure he'll correct this (create that 2nd new easy game) as soon as he's up again.
So be patient, You'll get your game... ::)

NO! I insist Sami drinks more coffee and stays up 24/7... this game is like a drug, I need more now! lol :D

LOL!
Would love another Air Travel Boom, and will patiently wait. The 1990s is my favorite era as that is the time when I really started flying (and ended up in the first 777 service in the NYC market - EWR to LHR on United).
I was in the first Air Travel Boom, flying Air Athena out of Athens, then the reset threw me off while I was at an all-day work-related conference. Three weeks had passed (and I had paid some taxes already) by the time I could do anything about it. Pulled out of the game at that point (ending up with one more credit that I had started with).
Would love a fresh Air Travel Boom. Whether I wanna stay in Athens, go back to Seoul, or fly out of some other locale, I don't know. All I know is that I'll have to name my next airline after a local goddess, which was the case for both Athena and Mercy. :)
yeh but ya gotta relish the challenge of the older era games! :)

Some great self-esteem you got there! ;)
yep lol ;D
when is the next Air Travel Boom opening??
Does anyone know when it will start.
I don't want to get annoying Sami but, when will the next game start? ;)
I just bought my credits for air travel boom 2. Hope they will limit the players though.
NicholasB
ive already got mine when will the game start.
we should hear something soon because he did say he would review the situation in a week, jus under a week ago, so he should tell us thn. One thing though he did come down witht teh flu again so i don't know whether he has recovered again and been able to get ready for a new game quite so soon, but hopefully sami has recovered and all is well.
Also, they were moving offices or something.
i seriously hope Air Travel Boom #2 will have the new ordering system ;D
Air Travel Boom (#1) had one more spot left open. I guess someone dropped out. So I tried to buy credits so I could go in it, although it was already 10% in. I wanted to go in this time range as it was easy, more efficient aircaft have been invented during that time, much more people are flying and it has aircraft that I have used. I tried to buy the credits but it kept saying it was failing. So after 30 minutes I tried again and it worked, but to my surprise the only last place in Air Travel Boom, was already taken! I hope another comes out!
PS. I'm new to this game, does anyone have any tips to help? I started a game in Jet Age #2, but it didn't turn out well :-\
Thanks!

Welcome to Airwaysim! :) Definitely read through this thread as it has a bunch of great tips and advice!

Thanks so much! It really helped. I have also gone bankrupped twice :laugh: oh well! My bases are usually in Australia as that's where I come from, but it isn't a great place to start. You have big airports like Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane that will get you money, but then what. LOL

Hi and welcome to Airwaysim!
Try to get some bigger jets and fly to those big airports, and after that chooce a 3rd destination from that big airport to another country. So for example like this: [Your airport]-Sydney-Tokyo Narita-Sydney-[Your airport]. This way you'll get more flights and hopefully a better revenue.
To do a 3-airport leg, all you need to do different than when creating a leg between just 2 airports, is, that you after choosing the 2nd airport scroll down the page, and from there choose the 3rd airport. After that comes a window, in which you can chooce whether to have a fuel or a full stop at the 2nd airport. You can also choose, whether to fly the route as A-B-C-A (Your airport-Sydney-Narita-Your airport) or as the usual A-B-C-B-A.
im dieing to know when it will start dont mean to get annoying but i must know.

Thank you so much. I actually didn't know that. I think my HQ for the next Air Travel Boom will be Melbourne as it has no closing curfew like Sydney. Bigger jets...will do. 737's are obviously a good plane for domestic flights and bigger Airbus planes for Asia/Oceania international. I have been reading a couple of forums and one was talking about a new ordering system. Do you know anything about that?
Thnaks again!
Dorito, use the search button, go through the threads, or contact anyone through p.m.'s for advice. These posts are off-topic for this thread.
btw, welcome to Airway Sim! ;D
Welcome to AirwaySim, the greatest airline simulation game on the net (so far ;D).
back to discussing this topic. Could the new air travel boom go up to 2013-2015 so that we could play with the Boeing 787 and A380s a bit longer?
to go up to 2015 u really need a350data, bombardier cseries aircraft etc, 2011 is as far as the aircraft data can take us atm.
The next game world will open when the "version 1.1" developments are ready. Meaning mainly the revised new aircraft market. At the moment I don't have a timeframe for you but I will post info as soon as possible.
Nice! ;D

aren't they already implemented?

The used aircraft market was changed in the latest games but the ordering system of new aircraft will be redone next.
we are on v1.05, implements a few basic features but version 1.1 will implement the fully developed and fine tuned features as well as more. i'd stop moaning now because 1.1 release is at least a 1-2weeks away i would say taking an educated guess.
