Are you just learning to play the game but are tired of constantly going bankrupt? The new sandbox world (S4, listed under the Special game worlds) will allow you to learn the ropes in a more forgiving, less competitive environment. The game clock runs faster than in normal worlds so you don't have to wait as long while practicing, but the world will also reset about every 20 days in real life.

 

(S4) Sandbox World

  • 1995-2015 (resets every ~20 real-life days, so recommended for practice only)
  • 5 real-life minutes per game day (1 game year per real life day)
  • $100 million starting cash
  • used aircraft market is regularly restocked so you don't have to wait for new aircraft deliveries
  • limit 1 airline per player
  • limit 300 airlines total
  • limited to players with accounts under 90 days old

The world is now open, and time has started.

 

Have fun! For help, feel free to ask in the new players' forum.

 

:welcome:

Have to say, one of your best ideas Yuxi. Very well done. Also, I am glad that you have limited the age of players too, although agreeing with Ev, maybe a future test world for us 'vets' to test our models, to see how succesful they are and to see whether it's worth setting up airlines in certain places etc.

Anyone else having issues with menus loading in the world? I can enter the world but I can't get any menus to open. It is just an infinite loading time. My other worlds work fine though so it isn't anything on my end...

Rubixx, yes I too have difficulty to load pages. especially to buy/lease used planes

I believe there might be just a bit too much of available plane in the Used Aircraft Market and the sql server might have a hard time processing that data.

 

But just succeeded in buying new planes...

 

Thanks Yuxi for this world, it's a great idea. Hope loading page speed will go normal soon.

Oops, looks like the used market was flooded. It should be better now. :P

First off, this is a really nice world idea!

Yuxi can we have a sandbox world for older players to test other airline models? :P

Secondly, GENIUS.  There should be one by the time I become active again... However long that'll be... :whistling:
