SXM Pre Release discussion

Is there more information available on the “Airline Manager - Changing base of airplanes” feature:

  • What percentage of the purchase cost is charged for the reregistration at the new airport?
  • Are there any costs at the airport of origin apart from the initial purchase price?
  • Is the maintenance status transferred as well?
  • Is maintenance a limiting factor? (f.i. nothing beyond C can be transferred).
  • Can new S planes like the DHC6 be purchased at IAD and then immediately send to SXM?
  • Does the transfer flight then takes place in real time?

Just wondering.

Just seen the photo of the KLM 747 on Instagram, and I don’t know if it looks this way to anybody else, but are the main gear tilted? I’ve cried the image to get a closer look at the aircraft itself.

With regards to the KLM livery, as well as the version shown and the old livery, will the current KLM livery (the final livery worn by some 747s) be included as well?

I can’t see the main train

It isn’t really visible, but behind the number 2 engine an individual wheel can be seen.

._. the same is not noticeable that it is bent, I do not think it affects the game or the aesthetics

New 777 and 747 will have tillted gear.

Awesome! Will the older advance models have this added as well over time?

Surely yes :slight_smile:

I am curious how long will this prelease disscusion take. It has been five months now since SXM was announced.

At that time we didn’t know that the devs were working on a complete overhaul of the game.

First of all, this is just my personal opinion! Since it’s now November, I’m even assuming that the update might come even later, since none of us know exactly what the developers are still working on! Maybe for Christmas or even at the turn of the year! As I said, this is my personal opinion!

Would make sense for Christmas

If a monster overhaul is on its way, then I wouldn’t bother as to when it’s released…if it turns out to be worth the wait! (With WOA I’ve anyway gotten used to waiting for, like eternity, for some much-advocated features). But, with a roadmap published (& open to amendment) major overhauls can also be nicely effcted in incremental but frequent updates, especially if the devs’ve gotten players used to them, something that the devs should seriously ponder for future.

Some new B744 liveries:















I’m amazed by the variety of liveries, devs! Congratulations!

I wonder if there will be a VARIG or Aerolineas Argentinas B744 livery.

Besides Aerosur, South America doesn’t have any other B744!!!

So great, I believe that another liveries of 747 and 777 will release soon.

Still no British Airways 747-400? They were the largest operator of the type, surely they have to be included when it gets launched.

Well, they can’t work on all plane liveries at once so it is definitely most likely that they are going to do it soon, or even now. Patience is key :slight_smile:

I’d imagine another variant of the 747-400 would be needed for BA (having RB-211 engines). But we need to remember that there will be things added in the update we weren’t told of! Always exciting when a little surprise gets added.

Any news if the 757 will join its cargo variant in being upgraded?
