3.0 Post release discussion

sydney also has shared stands

Not sure if this has been discussed but just a heads up on the packs - you’re not unlocking these types, you’ll only get 4xC, 3xD, 2xE, 1xF planes.

Exactly

Wait, are the stands more expensive now too?

No, the stands are 8000 wollars less than before i.e
5k + 10k + 15k + 20k = 50000 wollars
2k + 4k + 6k + 8k + 10k + 12k = 42000 wollars
For stands with class G in them, the price is 56000, but that is not very common

The UI is makes it more difficult to play. I liked how with the older UI you could understand all the features. Maybe if it’s reverted to the old design with the newly added features would make it more playable.

I’m must be missing something, an ā€œEā€ stand at LEJ is 30000 wollars but the old equivalent ā€œLā€ was 15000. This is double?

Some thoughts for 3.0.0, now that I’ve played it. I’ve only played INN so far.

  1. Even on a full size iPad, the buttons are too small. In particular, the camera icons in the top right are only 5x5 mm big.

  2. The new take off command honestly just adds extra work. I think it’s unnecessary.

  3. The UI in general seems a bit cluttered, it will take some time to get used to it.

  4. Contract cards are now top down, instead of bottom up. I’m undecided on this.

  5. It would be better if we could hide the planes that don’t have an available stand, because now it’s harder to distinguish which planes need handling/pushback, and which are waiting for a stand.

Aside from these, the update is amazing. The CRJ looks fantastic, considering what it used to be. I’m enjoying it so far, and I look forward to playing GRU.

Yeah, I tried on emulator and the icon looks okay. But seems bluestacks (and some other devices) have issue with the world map now.

I think the issue here is you were able to just purchase a L stand previously and now if you buy an E stand you are also getting A-D included, even if you don’t want it or its not part of your strategy. This has to be a bug. I’m surprised others haven’t commented.

It’s not a bug but how it’s intended. Until they have made use of the shared stands at every airport, it’ll be like this. At GRU, you’re not always gonna have to buy from A-F. Shared stands allow you to either get 2 A-C stands or 1 D-F stand so you’re not paying 30k wollars every time you want an E stand.

Oh, one more thing. I might be blind, but I cannot find a way to tell whether my aircraft is connected to a player or not. Before that you could at least do it by clicking on a contract, but now it seems that this information is completely unavailable unless you go into the entire list of your aircraft, find the one you are looking for by its tail registration, and see the contract there.

You can see it in the map when it’s in transit but nowhere on the information card when it’s on the ground. You can send an email to the devs about it.

Yeah, that’s my problem. I have a mix of player and non-player contracts, and sometimes I don’t have the time to play the entire list and only want to handle the player contracts. And you can’t see that at all.

Thank you for sharing, I’ve been trying to find this out for a while… I’ll just buy more GP then, and unlock the planes.

First of all, thanks for the good work.

While I haven’t faced any bug yet, the game looked kinda weird to me for now. It happened after the previous UI overhaul, so I need some more time to get used with it.

But there are few things keeps me disturbed. Everyone mentioned about notification filter, seeing all planes on the right without stands, even with filter, is annoying. I hope this is some kind of bug and will be fixed on next release.

Other than that, new aircraft class looks complitcated for me. I understand the theory of implementing IATA classes but well…

Again for destinations there are only IATA codes, not city names. There should be.

Logos for aircraft manufacturer takes a lot of space on the screen.

At least, on the route menu, make the destinations alphabetically under each airline. So we could see multiple planes, on the same route for each company. Personally, I tend to keep 1 airline, 1 destination to save some contract space and it’s really hard to find duplicated destinations.

definitely agree on city names, and aircraft manufacturer names.

every time you click on a plane, it just says AIRBUS at first glance - we know it’s an Airbus but what actual flight is it and where is it from?

At this point I hope the hotfix comes soon, so many people have complained about the needs action filter I’m amazed it’s not been said it will be fixed

I think the filter issues can be solved by implementing two simple things. One: add an additional filter for ā€œplanes without assigned standā€ to separate it from ā€œplanes with assigned stands waiting for landing clearanceā€. And two: allow us to select multiple filters at the same time.
