Dawn of the Millennium (https://www.airwaysim.com/game/?gView=349#game349) game world is now open, welcome!
Dawn of the Millennium starts in mid-1970s and takes you through the financial turbulence of 1970s and early 1980s, then towards the growth period of 1990s, and finally reaching the difficulties faced by airlines after 9/11. Overall a very interesting period to manage your airline!
This game world is part of our mid-length scenario series, and follows standard settings for AirwaySim games:
- Time span: 1975 - 2007, at 30 minutes per game day.
- Normal difficulty level / Medium length / Standard rules.
- All airports globally and all aircraft models included.
- The overall play duration of this game is about 8 months.
Game play related settings specific for this scenario:
- All players who finished the previous Jet Age game world can join this new game with a 5 Credit discount (saving the initial joining fee)!
- Please remember that this game follows the standard and real-world setup for the economy and political rules. The expansion outside your own HQ country does not become available until the 1990s and onwards.
- The initial aircraft selection is very comprehensive, but the vast majority of the used aircraft are still the early first generation jets or even piston-engined models. Typical for this era, there is a big selection of different models and manufacturers to choose from (a total of 60 different aircraft fleet groups are represented in the initially generated aircraft batch!) - why don't you try something different this time? ;)
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!
