Three of the most common questions I see on the forums are those presented in the title:
Where do I send my planes?
What planes are best for player connections?
How do I configure my plane for a certain route?
The following spreadsheet contains data on minimum profit / maximum profit / SP / XP for every single route between playable airports in the game, and my personal scoring system for planes based on how effective they are at carving out roles within the fleet.
It’s very much a work in progress! Much information is already complete, and I’m adding / updating things every day. If you want to assist me in this project contact me through DMs on here or via the WoA discord!
Create one more thread for confirmed updates like DEL on indefinite hold
SYD is the upcoming airport
a350 remodel
v1 models upgrade
And many more I can remember only this much now.
What devs said on QnA
I would add this sheet, which was made by a team of discord members named Geo, KamiKazi, Defoe, and of course CJRV, and others in the discord. It includes the route analysis and other stuff.
SYD is already being worked on as a destination within the table. Can’t use it for departures yet as we don’t have access to those flights :).
With DEL being on indefinite hold… I’m kinda of ignoring it for now as we don’t know when it’s coming and it’s a lot of work to copy the data.
A350 remodel includes the A359 addition which has a placeholder row within the table!
The rest of that stuff is beyond the scope of playable airport connections - so not really on the topic of this listing. Someone should make a list for sure.
@Thatflyerguy - That’s another good resource to share - even if Defoe and I don’t see eye to eye on his analysis / suggestions haha.
Howdy everyone - I’m beginning the process of beginning to update this project with today’s update! If you would like to assist, please reach out and I will send you a discord invite. I’m especially interested in folks who are flying the new planes on player to player routes, and are willing to record data!
First of all, thank you for the spreadsheet, it’s been very useful!
I’m checking the B77W at MCT, and we should be seeing 5630 at both NGO and SYD destinations, but NGO is 4496 and SYD 2940. I checked most other L planes MCT>NGO, and the numbers all match, only B77W is off. Are you aware of any changes in B77W’s profitability?
B77W got significantly nerfed in the most recent update, and I haven’t updated the spreadsheet in a while FYI, so there may or may not be errors outside of the B77W. I have plans to update the spreadsheet with better information (actual profit over predicted profit), but haven’t had the time.
Thank you very much for your answer!
Any idea if the B77WF was also nerfed? I’m almost done leveling all airports and about to start building my fleet, any suggestion on which aircraft I should be focusing on now?
About your plans to update the spreadsheet, if you ever do so and if it’s not too much trouble, please consider also keeping the current numbers. While it’s not the actual profit, it’s how we know we didn’t make any mistakes on destionations and seats configuration.
Most of my fleet these days is built out as follows:
S:
CRJ9s [IAD, MSY, SXM only]
M:
A21N – this is the most profitable plane on most player to player routes for M planes
B752 – this is my long range specialist (only M plane that can go INN<->SXM and LEJ<->SXM), as well as my top XP and SP grinder for its size.
AN12 – short range cargo (mostly within Europe)
B752F – longer range M cargo
L:
A35K – longest functional range of any airplane, this is the bulk of my fleet
B744 – excellent profit across many routes, best for SP grinding
B788 – this is my low demand specialty plane for airports like LEJ
B789 – I’d be remiss to not mention that many players like this because of its quick turnaround time and low handling crew needs.
B77LF – this is the bulk of my cargo fleet because it has good range and is able to fly to the most airports. I don’t fly a ton of cargo though, as most airports I enjoy just don’t have enough stands to justify investing heavily.
X:
B748 – I use this on the majority of routes as it can reach the widest variety of airports.
A388 – specialist for shorter, high demand routes where it makes more.
