HKG - Conversation

most hilarious thing i have seen so far in HKG

Ingreep that planes parked at T1 southside should use RWY 07R to land as well, it takes forever for them to get to the gate and they would reduce the amount of planes landing on 07C which gets piled up quickly

I must say that the current configuration (all 3 land and take-off) is much more efficient. Actually with lvl 50 and ±150 contracts the runway that is most occupied already is 07R as it gets all (or most) cargo, which will get even worse with this layout.

The only thing that i can consider relevant is that for the gates at T1 that use 07R as departure runway, also use 07R as arrival runway.

Maybe you should adjust your tactics to the runway configuration? E.g. focus on cargo and T2 after the initial set-up of T1.

The new HK airport is running like a well maintained machine! , all the runways operational for landing and take off is great, no runway crossings and an extremely good cargo airport as it is also in real life. Not much else too wish for, the scenery and all other details are well made. Many thanks from a very happy player (currently LV 81).

Is there any file or an extract or something where we know what kind of aircraft is available at what airport

Dang… level 81 is crazy. On that note; has anyone maxed it out already?

A fair number have yeah. There were people who maxed on day three or something like that.

I really want to know how you can manage to do that??

How is that even possible!? You would have to play for all day, nonstop, no sleep whatsoever.

Yeah I mean minmaxing with local contracts and round the clock play will do that. It can’t be fun, don’t know why you would, but people do.

In my case that’s not true, I just love to play and with HK it’s really easy to level up and yes I played a lot however I do the same with my other main hubs. Some tips for HK:

  1. Invest in infrastructure in the early stage and distribute over the airports to make maximum use of the three runways. ( option: invest in some GP to support the devs)
  2. Buy all the local contracts when possible.
  3. Maybe on one, purchase the premium.
  4. Some player contracts but in HK case not even needed.
  5. Purchase some region contracts in an early stage with SP.

So all the pre assumptions on the forum are not really nice, each player can play the game in the way they wish. This game is also about strategy and patience, know what and when to do things and what not. This said, I will enjoy HK for a very long time, it’s perfectly made. Wish everybody a good final day of 2025 and a happy and healthy 2026 to come. Cheers!

I agree everyone can play how they want

Yes and to be even more crystal clear, personally I wish less new airport than more. It’s very nice to have new airports launched on a regular base but for me it’s about quality before quantity. For instance, first fix and optimize the existing airports. Second, first finish the pending goals list like plane new types, add game features etc. Anyway, that’s my point of view at the moment. Happy new year in advance.!

Hi all,

It’s amazing what the devs have achieved with HKG but it’s almost just like irl.

I’ve made a post with my inputs based on my knowledge of HKG and also operation from flightradar24. Please take a look and give your two cents.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Buying contracts should come very late at this airport. There are too many high XP planes in locals and every dollar you save buys stands with more contracts and handlers. Even the top area with no cargo can be put to good use by scheduling C planes that come every 30 minutes.

actually if you want to get to level 90 faster, you need to buy more contracts as early as possible.

use silver planes to buy contracts slots every 2 days. Currently have 272/300 contracts and my airport is only 3/5 full (mostly are real life schedules, waiting for the local widebodies to be added in the game in the future, that will bring it to over 500 contracts)

in terms of handlers, you dont even need to buy using gold airplanes since you can just buy A stands for 2000 and get the handler. with HKG, you’ll have at least 400 handlers (i’m currently at 299 and still have lots of stands thats not unlocked yet)

get more flight schedules in to level up faster

Playing on emulator, using macros.

I think such players are using player contracts to boost the progress. All player connections start at Lv 10 rewards, for a B748F that is about 22XP for each handle, then think about how many player connections they could get…
