Generic Airports

I have noticed that, I was wondering if someone else had been noticing some sort of pattern. I kind of like it as people complained a ton because no C aircraft could fly from SYD-NGO or MCT. But @Thatflyerguy I might create a few more airport suggestions for generic airports for the devs or if an offical airport happens then theres bound to be either two generic or one more generic and one real. I kinda expect them to go like Real-generic-real-generic type of thing as it will be consistent with the airport connections.

Maybe. They have seemed a lot more hesitant about generic airports recently though, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they weren’t putting as much effort into them anymore.

Well no C aircraft can do those ranges, not looked at XLR.

I hope not though lol.

Hey Devs, I love CNN and think you should add more alongside the full ones :grinning_face:

How about Victoria Falls Int Airport. It also nice and simple.

This would be a super unique little airport! Just looked into it a little bit, lot of cool arrivals

Tbf BKK and HKG aren’t that far tbh, was thinking of SYD.

Kinda need an airport in these areas to connect smaller C aircraft and B aircraft in the Oceanic and Asia Pacific areas.

possible spots -
Indonesia (Ideal)
Papua New Guinea (somewhat Ideal)
Brunei (Ideal)
Malaysia (not that Ideal)
Philippines (Not that Ideal)
Timor-Leste (Somewhat Ideal)

Think they said an Indonesian airport could possibly come as a real airport

Given the number of players who are from Indonesia I feel like one of the Indonesian ones seems like a good guess as to what could be coming. Would nicely bridge SYD with BKK and HKG

I would hate to see CGK become a generic airport. It just has too much potential - with the non-standard architecture and the amount of trees and greenery so intertwined - to be relegated to generic.

Indeed,

Yes, honestly I would even be happy with DPS as a real airport

Jakarta I feel is too large and snazzy for a generic whereas Denpasar is a cool looking one and shouldn’t be relegated to a generic one due to the sea on both ends. Surabaya could make for a good midsize generic though, one runway, taxiway on both sides linking both terminals,

Also that comment made me think of this lmao,

Well remember, generic doesn’t mean forever. Could be a placeholder for impatient folks and then slowly cooked as a real airport in the background, then upgraded one day!

In principle, yes. But the devs have only so much time. And from a developing viewpoint it’s more interesting to add to the existing lineup than redo an existing one. This already happens.
It’s not a question of possibility, but of opportunity.

Come to think of it, I wonder what they would do with the progress people have already made on a generic that gets replaced by the read deal? :thinking:

Anyway, to get back on topic: do you guys think that the next generic airport will be unlocked through Kannur or do you think that we will have to buy it separately with GPs?

Definitely GP, wouldn’t work well to have 2 chains of airports, just 1 is better (INN-BRI-PRG-IAD etc)
