AirwaySim's web services will be moved to a new server hardware next week.
The preliminary date for the move is Thursday 7th December (in the afternoon EU time), but this might still change. During the move you can expect a short (< 1 hr) downtime of the services, with games being paused at that time.
This change is part of the general all-around upgrading and rationalization of company's server hardware, and also brings in more computing capacity to the backend services of the simulation.
The server handling our e-mails is being upgraded during the following days.
If you notice outages in email delivery from our system, or for example can't reach us from the website's contact form, please let us know using any alternate means (such as this forum, Discord or our Facebook).
A new Beginner's World #1 scenario is now open!
Join here: https://www.airwaysim.com/game/?gView=467#game467
AirwaySim has always two concurrent Beginner's World scenarios running (BW#1 and BW#2). They both use the same settings and same time frame.
Our beginner game series is aimed for all newbies and other players wishing to test different playing styles in an easier environment. Duration of one scenario is always approximately 60 real days. The scenario runs for ~10 game years with a speed of 25 minutes per day, and all of AirwaySim's main features are included in these scenarios.
When a BW scenario ends, a new one will start within a few days. The two scenarios are running in parallel so that there is always one BW scenario start every month.

A reminder to all players at the Speed World:
The entire selection of aircraft models will become available at approximately 12 UTC on Tuesday 17th October.
There will be NO used aircraft of the larger types, until they "naturally" appear there after being built by manufacturers and put to sale by players and/or AI brokers.
Note that all new airlines are still required to start with the regional aircraft selection only.
Our forum have been upgraded to a new version.
You will need to login again since this update involves changes to the backend systems related to user accounts.
The new version of forums, SMF 2.1 is a small evolution of the current SMF 2.0 forum, but the basis remains the same. It offers an updated layout, which is mobile-compatible, and also some additional features such as better message posting tools, and better support for future upgrades.
If you have forgotten your password, use the password reminder or contact us.
The forum software will be soon updated with a new version.
The SMF 2.1 is a small evolution of the current SMF 2.0 forum, but the basis remains the same. The new version will offer an updated layout which is mobile-compatible, and also some additional features such as better message posting tools. Most important are the changes under the hood - the new version supports latest server backend software versions and it receives security updates from the developers.
If all goes well the upgrade is done during this weekend, which will require a small 15-45 minute shutdown of our services while the upgrade is being done.
Progress will be posted also at our Discord and at our Status pages.
