Airline Generations game is now openThis round of the epic-length AirwaySim airline simulation scenario,
Airline Generations, is now open!
» Join Airline Generations! (https://www.airwaysim.com/game/#game489)This is one of our three concurrent epic-length airline sim scenarios, starting in the 1950s and running all the way into year 2035. An ultimate challenge for virtual airline managers!
This game world follows the standard settings for long AirwaySim games:
- Time span: 1950 - 2035, at 30 minutes per game day.
- Normal difficulty level / Epic length scenario.
- All airports globally and all aircraft models included.
- The overall play duration of this game is about 1.5 years.
Game play related settings specific for this scenario:- The start-up settings for this game are rather standard for our epic-length games, but the availability of long-range aircraft is very limited at the beginning.
- Most of the initial used aircraft available at DC-3s and similar short-range "surplus" planes.
- If you are using the Easy Start mode, you should pick the short-haul airline as your starting mode. Note that in some cases the Easy Start mode might not be able to pick suitable routes for you, and then you must revert to Advanced Starting mode.
- If you are using the Easy Start mode, you should pick the short-haul airline as your starting mode.
- Also airports of Johannesburg (FAJS), Helsinki - Vantaa (EFHK) and Moscow - Sheremetyevo (UUEE) are already opened, in contrast to the real history since these airport opened in 1951, to allow a few more starting airport choices for the long game.
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).

Question about the amount of planes outside of your HQ. Will this amount increase over time or is this a fixed amount?
