This also might have to do with SCL being very similar to GRU in terms of location, available contract, and above all the main local airline. And they were released next to each other.

On the other hand CNN is the first Indian airport ever.

I see adding more European airport works because they all have different local airline so they’re going to look different. Also, African airports still has possibility of doing well(provided it feels unique with many unique local and regional airlines and it is popular destination so people from Europe etc can feel attached and spend money on it).

Just my random thought and could be wrong so don’t take it seriously

Yep!

Hi everyone.

First I want to say that I love this game and have loved it for years. The Devs have introduced features that I never dared to dream of in a mobile game. And it keeps getting better.

I am saying all this because I want to prevent anyone to interpret my inquiry as criticism. I am just looking for information.

The introduction of the realistic cargo and passenger-doors with livery on them elevated those planes significantly in quality.

I wanted to know if there is a plan to update other high quality models without this feature like the A320 family, A350, B767, B777 and B787 to this new standard. Specially the freighters stand out next to the newer models.

Thank you for any insight.

I would be very surprised if there wasn’t. When they first did landing gear, it was initially intended to be a gradual rollout and the only reason it was all at once was because the community REALLY wanted it, so they prioritized it. I expect this isn’t important enough to justify that, so it will be gradual I’m sure. But there’s no way they would plan to introduce a feature on only a few planes and leave it there.

I also doubt that the Devs would just leave it.

My question is if they will update them in the near future or if we will have to wait until these models will get a complete overhaul in a year or two

As to that, I can’t answer. But I doubt that would wait until a FULL remodel, given its likely a pretty small change

We will redo first the whole lineup, as soon all models are at least on 3.0 we will touch those which are the first series on 3.0 model.

Man these remodels are never gonna end😭. I guess that’s a good thing because at least it means the devs are always improving.

I have a bit of a curious question, as someone who’s never modeled an aircraft but knows of aircraft modeling
The current 3.0 models, can they just be modified using the current base file you’ve made now or do they have to be remade from scratch to add the door animations?

Because I remember the Q400 was initially released with the Mobile stairs but was updated with the drop down air stairs

Also will this have an effect on applying air stairs on remote stands to L2 doors for E/F planes instead at the current L1 for older 3.0 models?

Okay, so after the B737.

Thank you for the update.

Who said the 737 would be the last? Not saying it won’t but the a330 and 737 have been projected this year and there are still many other after them that are yet to me mentioned.

Hoping for some news on the MD80/90 in the near future, I know it’s likely to be a lot less popular than the 330neos and the 737max family but I’m hoping we get to see them.

Hoping for B717 & DC9 as well, it could be a great rear-mounted engine aircraft update in the future release, but will most likely not happen :frowning:

The chance of not getting the 717 is very low I’d say. Considering that you’ve got at least 3 liveries that will be of use to a good number of the games airport, these being Volotea, Qantas Link and Delta, with plenty of event opportunities like AirTran. It is the only modern Boeing airliner that isn’t yet in game. Maybe it’s something that would come alongside a wider MD-80/90 family update?

We also do have Hawaiian livery, and 727 is another missing modern boeing jetliner

Not really anywhere Hawaiian would fit in though, it doesn’t have enough range to reach SAN.

Isn’t the 727 only around in limited numbers as freighters and privately owned aircraft now? I know from the Boeing line up for jets we are just missing the 707, 720, 717 and 727.

Except for the future aircrafts which are B778, B778F & B779, which will only be added into the game when they come into service - we’re also missing a handful of B737 variants which should be coming later this year.

I’m not saying right after the B737, just not before. And since the B737 isn’t coming in the next couple of months, it will be a while.

We’re also still missing the A320-100.
