I’ll take a couple of minutes telling my emotions about this, but before that, THANK YOU.
(For those who want a faster reading session, you can just skip the bullet points)
-
When I started reading, first thing I recall thinking was that I’d prefer not to have a cow at INN if that leads to other airport/aircraft related content been developed sooner.
-
Then, I got quite excited about new ZRH runway behaviours and the visit of the team to do so in the best way posible.
-
Then, I even had to read again while writing this, things like: “landing gear wheel tilt during landing”, which doesn’t catch my attention that much, but that doesn’t mean that you are also doing a great job with that.
-
I have to admit that Parametric Custom Liveries caught my attention, but I’m afraid when it’s released it won’t be as interesting as expectations are, based on the video were I can only see an addition of livery design rotation feature… we will see!
-
Dynamic Shadows feels interesting too, but not so much for me as I play 99% of the time at the 2D map, as it makes management easier.
-
All the IRL projects seem so interesting, but started to make me feel a little nervous about the team going through a “biting more than they can chew” situation, as I feel that projects have really low direct impact to the game, and some of them can be really time consuming
-
When I got to Demand System and Cargo, I had to admit I’m really interested in all the ideas you may implement in the future, as I feel current demand system is quite poor. When I got to read the cargo improvements, I started to think about players been able to choose which load type and how much they are loading on their planes, and I got quite interested on this.

…but…

Alliances is by far what hypes my the most. I loved:
and the community hub idea,
and this:I usually categorise this game as a “Sandbox”, and I think getting this game into a competitive kind of game (as other games like Top Drives for example) would be really risky in terms of me starting to get demotivated with the game.
To conclude, I’m so freaking excited about Alliances coming into the game (and how can impact my [AVE] project), and this update made my day.
