AirwaySim, online airline simulation, offers new game worlds
Other simulators 21.09.09 / 21:05
The online management simulation AirwaySim has recently opened new game
worlds where people can try out their skills as an airline manager. The
two new game worlds are titled "The Modern Times" and "Beginner's
World". The first being a very long 7-month scenario taking the players
from the early 1990s to all the way to the era of the new B787's and
A350's in the late 2010s. The second, like its name suggests, is a world
aimed for newcomers with limited number of players and somewhat easier
settings.
The core software of this online simulation has been also updated with a
new "version 1.11" service pack that adds many minor features and fixes.
At the same time with the new game worlds AirwaySim has also introduced
a new "pay as you play" scheme where the users are billed according to
the time played in each game world, compared to a previous fixed fee.
