I’m an idiot lmao. Somehow got Addis Ababa and Entebbe mixed up :rofl:. I don’t know more than Uganda Airways for Entebbe. Which others are there?

I liked that the airport’s nighttime lighting had been improved, but there’s a lot of room for improvement in the aircraft lights. The lighting is mainly dim, and it’s almost difficult to distinguish runway lights from aircraft lights from a distance. Furthermore, none of the aircraft have fuselage lights that illuminate the wings and engines, among other things.

Well the main Airline is Uganda Air of course but not by much as probably 5/6 is other airlines just from their airports to destination, which is Entebbe

Well, in the game you could get those at ADD as well as any other hypothetical African airport, what would change are the local airlines based at the airport, and that’s just Uganda Air for Entebbe (+ BAR Aviation or Aerolink which operate smaller aircraft not in the game - Cessna, Pilatus, Beechcraft etc.).
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to say that it’s a bad suggestion or anything, I’d quite like for it to be added, but the fact is that regarding available airlines it’s comparable to ADD, both airports would have 1 local airline (Ethiopian and Uganda Air respectively) + any other airline available as regular contracts from elsewhere.

Man getting Cessna, Pilatus, and Beechcraft planes would help all of the airports have a few more local airlines for the most part. Hope they get added sooner rather than later (fingers crossed for maybe 2027 since most of the planes should have received their remodel by then?).

I totally agree, getting planes such as Cessna Caravan or Short 360 would be awesome for variety, I would especially enjoy having them at SXM.

This is true IRL too.

Agreed. I have to say that though zaii’s picture with Sichuan Airlines and Hong Kong DHL plane looked really cool, the cargo bay of the Sichuan Airlines set me off a bit when I first saw it because of a slightly weird shadowing thing.

What I like about Nairobi is they have I believe 4 airlines based at the airport and a couple more who use it to Mogadishu due to that country’s chronic instability. Lots of local options which I’m a big supporter of. Plus Jambojet, which we can’t have in game yet as it lacks the range to any airport :sob:, has an awesome livery and would be ace to operate a fleet of. And I-Fly has a couple of Fokker 70s so them as a local would be equally as cool.

As a Liverpool fan, 100000% no, and don’t even get me started on man city, but I would still love to see MAN as the next uk airport lol.

I would say myself as well, but how boring would it be if I couldn’t make jabs at Hiro… :wink::joy:

Besides the 737 family, the caravan is one of the most important aircraft to be added next, it is the backbone of light cargo and local PAX travel worldwide.

How do you use the custom liveries?

you do not. Right now, the work is purely backend, and is applied automatically to all your liveries on those aircraft types. The result that you CAN see at the moment is that parametric liveries are crisper.

I saw 38 new messages this time coming online hence yesterday was 60 but I was assuming sometime MAN would be mentioned by somebody lol. there are so many MAN supporters in this forum. and I wouldnt mind Nairobi but Eentebbe either because it ois an airport with the similar size of SXM and INN

I’m assuming this also affects actual real world liveries as well? I’ve noticed how much crisper and more detailed some of the airline liveries look. It’s like going from SD to HD!
