Recently it rained so hard where I live that mackarels came asking for directions to the nearest river, so I had to stay inside for a considerable time. I spend that on watching St. Maarten’s airport on Flightradar24. I recommend you do the same.
Interesting things were happening there with nice oppertunities for new gameplay with the release of SXM.
At first I was wondering what a small airport would bring to the game, but now I can’t wait. The devs allready mentioned backtracking and the use of intersection take off.
The combination of the announced groundradar and traffic management challenges like this situation I captured is tantalizing:
Definitely fun to play casually but it will be pain in the … to get connections with other players. Also making money will be super hard like at BRI (I guess only 2 L/X slots nothing more).
I doubt even the X slot. And there are very few L planes visiting. So I share your remark about making money. But knowing the devs they must have something up their sleeves.
Looking at the description on portal it should have quite a few L stands. Sadly only one X stand. They didn’t mention the amount of L stands but I am guessing we will get 4-5 L stands.
I didn’t look at the development portal lately and obviously missed the information there. If there are that many L stands I wonder which airlines are going to visit. IRL only Air France and KLM fly there with big ones, as far as I know.
Well in real life 747 landed regularly at this airport and also A330 and A340. I think that I saw photo with these 2 planes together at two “gates” so thats why I was assuming we could get 2x L/X or 2x L slot or 1x and 1x L slots. It would be like in real life we will see!
