E170/E175, CRJ9 or F70 come to mind, for example. Those are all (by wingspan) category C but are also labelled as B-class in the game probably to make them easier to obtain and handle
B: DHC6
C: DHC8, ATR, F70, ERJ170/175, CRJ705/900/1000, DH64
D: C130
To name a few
Alright fair enough. But if DHC6 is B then what kind of aircraft would be A?
None that are currently in game like Cessnas and Pipers
Thatâs why I even proposed once to have the Saab 340 maybe be A since itâs wingspan is much closer to the DHC6 and could better park at the F stands at SYD without blocking
New Aircraft Timeline
- This year: ERJ, B757, and MD11 confirmed before Christmas
- Next year A330 likely next year
Airport Developments
- Generic Airport: Currently confirmed and in development - will come this year
- Generic Airport System: Will serve as testing ground for new features like wind-based landings, using real runway layouts but allowing placement at similar airports worldwide (e.g., single-runway generic could become Karlovy Vary)
- New Real Airports: Focus on China/Indonesia regions due to growing community there
Customization Features (In Development)
- Custom winglets/engines/colors: Planned but implementation method still being figured out
- Custom liveries: System tested and working, but requires additional UV mapping for each aircraft + UI development
- Custom logos: Will be possible with the UV mapping system
Other Updates
- Scheduler functionality is also coming this year - also solves âturn off priority based on ownership in Deliveryâ
- Hangar Feature: Under development but delayed by a âsecret projectâ involving ground handling vehicles
- Bug Fix: C17 color issue will be resolved

Oh also, Yellowknife was never a serious proposal apparently.
What doesâ focus on China/Indonesia 'mean? Will the airport choose to be in these two regions soonďź
Based on the message in discord it looks like yes, one of the two will be evaluated and then prioritised but âthat cornerâ implies it could also be other airports in East/South East Asia so maybe a SIN or KUL could also be considered.
Thatâs excellent,Africa can be postponed, popular regions have been selected, and local playersâ worries have been resolved.
Only the 757 i would call for this year.
The other i havent seen previews from to call it already this year.
Also ideas can removed or resceduled so i will wait to see enough or in a release
Md11 before Christmas?
LETâS GOOOOOOO
Would love Bali in Woa, been a while since a 1 runway airport, not to mention it has loads of widebodies
So the airport is after the African one or it will be in queue faster than African?
I felt like it was a bit of strange suggestion
. An airport in that region would be fantastic, Montana, Alberta region.
Seems Indonesia/China airport will come first which I suppose makes sense. Iâm predicting Indonesia first as itâs between BKK and SYD. Good for A320s and 737s that players own.
I guess you missed the last two dev blogs
Bali Airport is magnificent. Though I would probably start playing in a Chinese airport. But something medium-sized, like XIY or even a bit smaller. Ideally, I think something like CTU would be great â itâs quite beautiful and convenient in my opinion.
Medium sized and interesting I feel is the best. 2 runways, especially if landing and taking off on both, maybe a cross runway lmao. Indonesia would give us some more older aircraft types which would be really cool.
Edit; Hong Kong might fit this though itâs getting big now, would love Kai Tak or something of the same calibre.
I would prefer at first an African aiport, because at the southern hemnisphere we have only SYD, GRU and SCL. With for example cape town and the A35K or A359, we could serve all WOA airports worldwide, the old one and the new one, which will be implemendet in the future.
But sure, every new airport is welcome in the game! And I am tense, which one is in the final pipeline for the next big update. ![]()
What is the expected Hangar feature?
