Still no Qantas link B463

Why haven’t we gotten an ICE train? It’s more iconic then the IC train that is currently in game.

From a fellow train enthusiast, I would image this will come eventually but remember this is an aviation game, not a train one :slightly_smiling_face:

I wonder if this means we will get a bullet train at NGO in the future :thinking:

What’s the reason for this? Why does the Star Alliance logo of Air China disappear as soon as the livery is updated

Gonna hold on downloading this as seen a post on Facebook saying Sydney doesn’t run smoothly anymore, if true surprised the devs didn’t learn anything when they added more vehicles to Heathrow as that made it stop running smoothly.

I don’t think so as RJGG is served by private railway company Meitetsu instead of JR. Therefore allowing shinkansen to appear in Nagoya isn’t consistent with actual facts.

Thank You Devs for busting your butts with your continued work on WoA to make it better every time and for listening to our ideas/whining. :grin: You all keep Rockin’ On!

Looks like that could be the major pathing rework which was mentioned. Let’s hope it’s not just MCT that gets dual runway arrivals (looking at you LHR :joy:).

So, what are the new routes ??? I don’t see any post…

This is such a nice addition! I’d love to see it at IAD and LHR as well.

From a quick play it almost seems as if MCT has been split into 2 self contained airports on 1 canvas like LEJ is, much much better for getting planes handled.
