The biggest issue in WoA (Player connections)

General discussion

Hi there,

I have one problem, in my opinion a very big one.
When i send an aircraft to someone, i need to wait for them to accept it. We all know that.
If i want to land my 200 planes in IAD and did a small mistake at the beginning, assinging a finished contract (10/10) from my fleet to a stand, i need to wait for the other player to accept the renewed contract. At some airports like LHR or BKK that would not be a big problem, but for Airports with not that many stands, its a very big issue. If i have 10 planes waiting in IAD, i can only use the other 12 big stands, so running on half the capacity. For BRI, INN or SXM, thats even much more a problem.

My solution to that problem:
Just include that in the fleet manager. So your planes, wich are finished or bought new from the shop (dont have a active contract), could be in a fleet manager, maybe a extra TAB. There they could send to someone, waiting as long as it needs, if they ar accepted, they appear in the landing list.
You could add it, that we can claim the rewards in the fleet manager or just get them without claiming. The arriving or new bought aircraft can be on a hold position, not at the airport, waiting in a fleet manager, where you can renew the contract or sending it to someone else, like you can already do in the fleet manager (for planes, landet and blocking a stand), just for waiting for acceptance. Let them wait in my fleet manager, not at my stands :slight_smile:

And one more, also very important feature, wich we really really need:
Please add a information, when a contract was handeled last time. Like the waiting for acceptance for 4 Days timer for example. Dont care how it looks, it could be just a date or just like “a day ago” “5 days ago”, however. Anything we can indicate inactive contracts. I have about 850 in IAD, but only about 300 come back when i was offline for a week.

To other users: Please tell me your opinion about that.

To the Devs: Please add something like i told you. Anything for these two important issues.

  1. Indicator for inactive contracts
  2. dont let planes block stands, when they are waiting for acceptance.

Thank you :slight_smile:

I completely agree.

Sometimes I just hate playing smaller airports because I’m waiting for so many contracts to get accepted. It doesn’t even feel like I’m playing the airport.

Would love to have a method where these planes aren’t taking up space.

This would be a positive for the community too I think. People would care less about how long you take to accept a contract.

Really like the indicator about when a contracted plane was last handled, or when it was last at your home base.

Some planes can be gone more than a week, waiting for handling at the other end, but its impossible to know unless you log your own departures.

Contract requests have how many days old the request is, be good to see how many days since a plane left home base.

Would be nice if, on last handle, the other player could indicate or invite a renewal, then the sending player can still have the option to renew or cancel. This way if the sending player chooses to renew, it is already accepted.

Would also like some indication of how long a plane is inactive.

Don’t we have a section where this belongs?

May a mod please move this?

Great idea. I would support this idea all the way.
