I hope this doesn’t mean your banning bluestacks though because that is my main way to play and I don’t use any cheats…

These are looking so good. I do hope we get more fonts than just that one to choose from. Not my favorite font in the world (and I’d remove it from all my cargo liveries if I could lol).

For those of you who absolutely despise Meta / Facebook / Insta – here is the collage posted to discord so you don’t have to click evil links!

Thanks! I hate those evil links. They track you more than you think

You can trim the links as a way to prevent social media companies from tracking, usually it’s everything after a certain punctuation.

Using the dev’s Insta recent post as the example, delete everything after the forward slash, including the forward slash itself. So the actual post link should be DUWD5JECkLf. That should allow you to access the original post while also not having them tracking you. That’s for Insta posts but you can use that method for other social media links, it’ll be something different that triggers the tracking part of the link.

Does take some practice but once you know what to remove then it’s fairly simple.

We gonna need a PC for this?

I think that’s just the development phase, creating decals to be used. I’m sure the final function will work fully within the mobile device.

Not in the slightest, but they can’t very well code or use blender or anything on mobile phones

Anyone who uses Comic Sans should be shot on a rocket into the Sun :rofl:

Idk it is actually not a terrible font. Also really legible for people with reading issues.

It’s not terrible, it does follow a level of consistency… BUT it was heavily overused for anything that people wanted to look relaxed /fun / cool, so there are those of us who would very much like for people to discover other fonts!

There is another font called ‘I hate comic sans’…. Worth a try :wink:

Sans serifs fonts are definitely more readable on screens or with limited pixels. I’d just prefer something more similar to Montserrat (san serif and widely kerned which is great for logos), or Lato (whose Bold 700 is just super clean).

Comic Sans just looks unprofessional. Its fine for comics though (Get off my lawn kids… yada, yada)

I also would like to see some variation in available fonts. From light to bold and with a range of styles.

Fonts are just such an integral part of a brand and convey much of it. Big fat letters don’t go with a luxury brand. Curly ones don’t go with a modernist brand. Etcetera.

Crafting your own brand with a livery, and then only having a middle-of-the-road font available that doesn’t fit it, would break the effect.

I have an inquiry about the upcoming A330 update.

Does anyone know if the seating capacity of the A330 will be corrected with the update? I don’t know if this has been mentioned anywhere in the forum or in any of the teasers about the A330 update.

Right now the A330 has the same seating capacity as the B772, A359 and the B78X when in reality it is significantly smaller.

There are other planes in game with the same issue. In game with premium seating selected the B77W has 50 more seats in economy then the A35K when in reality they have very similar sized cabins. Also the B744 has a bigger capacity irl when in game it is identical to the B77W.

I am just curious if anyone has any insight on this as this post is not intended as criticism in any way.

Also speaking of the A330 update, will the A330-700 (Beluga XL) be included?

I was wondering why it wasn’t mentioned or shown in any pictures that it’s in development; I’d love to see it flying in the game with its older sibling.

Imagine that in the game!
