Introduction

Fly The World is a business simulation under development for users of various flight simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS9, FSX, FSX SE), P3D and X-Plane.

Our offer is primarily aimed at Sim pilots who find the mere, more or less aimless flying around too boring or for whom the typical offer of virtual airlines is not challenging enough.

Fly The World adds an economic component and a career system to the simulation experience that will challenge players and require them to make economically reasonable decisions.

New players start as freelancers with a PPL-A license, can rent smaller airplanes and transport randomly generated orders from the start to the destination airport.

As they progress, i.e. with increasing assets and the acquisition of higher licenses, new opportunities open up for them, such as the purchase of aircraft or the establishment of their own airlines. It is also possible to set up entire networks of FBOs, terminals and other facilities in order to link them together by routes. It is up to the player to decide whether he wants to stand alone or join forces with other players. Nevertheless, other players can also appear as competitors, which can always present new challenges.

Notes on the beta phase

Fly The World is currently in the beta phase. Players are therefore also testers and encouraged to report bugs, problems and incomprehensible or completely meaningless correlations to members of the development team as soon as possible.

Particular attention should be paid to mistakes and “leaks” that may give individual players unjustified advantages.

In the course of development it can happen that individual functions are fundamentally modified. This could result in certain business models no longer functioning as originally intended. We therefore ask all users who are already dedicated to building networks, empires and empires to take this into account. Although we try to avoid such situations as far as possible, nothing is set in stone here yet and the one or other collateral damage will certainly be deplorable at some point.

So please always keep one thing in mind: Beta phase = test phase.
