General Pre-Release Discussion

I remember you mentioned there was an error with the 757 and MD11 liveries. What happened to those designs? Were they scrapped, or will they be added at some point?

Honestly, I think that after the 737 remodel(and maybe the a300 and 80 as well) we should take a break from getting new aircraft and remodels and instead focus on some aircraft that don’t get much love in game like the 788, a321N, and the OG dash 8s( and the 757/md11 but hopefully more liveries come before then)

I’m curious to see what else will come in 3.6.0 alongside that Alaska 787, Zurich did have based 757s and MDs so there’s always scope for them to be added.

It does make me wonder what did happen to the 757s that were said to be releasing after 3.3.0 released, and more so what liveries they actually were. One that possibly comes to mind is a standard British Airways livery, which is why the retro livery has ended up as a regular contract? The Jet2holidays livery is a rare case of a livery I’m not quite sure was really ready to be released (bug report here for anyone who wants to have a look at what I mean), as it still has the issues it launched with, such as the tail and fuselage livery not lining up or the different logos on each engine, so it seems something definitely happened somewhere down the line with the 757. I will say it is great to see a lot of people using the Jet2 757s though, as they always seem to show up in screenshots.

Hopefully we’ll see fixes for some of the existing liveries alongside new ones at some point, it’ll be nice to finally see aircraft like the B752, B762, E145 and the others you guys have mentioned given some new liveries to give them more use. I mean look at how well the A339 was represented in 3.5.0.

I am looking forward to what comes in 3.6.0, as I’m sure we’ll get some interesting liveries across the 747s and A340s, all we can do for now is wait and see what we end up getting, and ultimately what comes along in the following updates. I can imagine the devs currently have their hands full with 3.6.0s aircraft and ultimately future releases like the 737, and from what we’ve seen the 737 looks like it’s something to really be excited for. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m hopeful that we can get a few of the European B463s that we are yet to get with ZRH. With the Jumbolinos being so iconic here I’d love to be able to get more than the 4 or so we currently have in game. Aegean, Lingus, Dolomiti, Atlantic, Bulgaria would all fit this update well.

I don’t really expect them I guess, but one can hope!

Zurich was a big MD-11 hub in the late 1990s and early 2000s, not just due to Swissair. I hope we get at least 1 thrown into 3.6.0 but I’m going to be very happy with the 747-300s if we get a good amount of them. I do want older liveries and more for older types mixed in with newer stuff with a good mix of different types.

Still yet to see the 2 I’m bouncing about being added, the 345 and 743. Fingers crossed for some point in the next couple of days.
