Enjoying 3.0 so far! Really only 1 complaints about the new UI:

When I have all stands full of a certain size at an airport there is no way to filter out planes that don’t have an available stand. This was done automatically in 2.0, and was a huge quality of life for manual playing. Especially with the cost increase of the tower, I’d love to see this filtering be brought back.

Love the new UI, however segregating stands by airplane size has become very difficult. I am doing it right now off my memory but it is problematic at an airport like IAD where I have 39 contracts

Thanks as well to the upgrade 3.0 it’s amazing. But filtering for planes that needs attention is absolutely key and this doesn’t work, so I’ve a list of hundreds of planes constantly in the list or did I miss something?

Please fix it.

I also found that in the new version, there is no way to rotate the screen orientation, even if I have unlocked the orientation of the device, it will still always be fixed in one direction for gameplay.

what do they mean by Airbus and Boeing licensing? Nothing about Boeing and Airbus airplanes has changed so far…

Leipzig Airport isn’t loading :slightly_frowning_face:

I’m guessing they had to pay up to Boeing and Airbus to keep them in the game, so in return they are officially licensed. Probably why we got the Boeing and Airbus plane bundles to help offset that cost.

Not the right way around. Devs reached out to all the manufacturers, not only to get licensed but also they can help them build even better models as the game develops.

Does that bug include the auto assigns not working. I have been playing this game non-stop for the last 6 months and have spent way more money than i care to admit, your game is hard to get used to at this point, i have to stop playing. You see im old and i enjoyed EVERYTHING about your game, yes even the auto functions. I have no idea what is happening with the new version, its cool. Too cool for this simple guy. I hope that auto assign comes back or itll be a good thang you got Boeing AND Airbus money. Please oh please for this simple ass game player bring back the auto assign

@Travis.morgan1 , couple of things.

  1. Not my game, I’m not a developer, I am a player like anyone else, except that i get to test releases before they come out.
  2. The bug was not related to auto assign, it was actually an issue with the hangar, when you went in to configure and buy an aircraft for your fleet, the game would lock up and crash immediately, took the devs a couple of days to find the issue and fix it, part of the reason why the release was up to the wire of 3/31 because the fix wasn’t confirmed until sunday.
  3. The auto assign is still there, if you are talking about the ATC, it’s in a menu at the bottom of the screen and allows you to do exactly the same as before and maybe a little more.
  4. I think you also mis-understand the airbus/boeing thing… that’s actually a cost to the developers, not a revenue, they are paying the manufacturers for the right to be an officially licensed product. It may help with conversations about future developments, but it’s not a revenue stream. (I used to work in royalties/licensing)…
    I understand the frustration and i tried to warn folks on here multiple times (although I understand you are new to this forum) to go check out the live stream that was done to see the differences. Change is hard for many, myself included. I’ve tried to embrace this one so far and I feel like I understand the logic (I’m 52 by the way), but whenever you do an update like this, there are going to be things that you thought would work a certain way and may have to change. So the devs will take this on board and look at it all in the context of their plans. Give them some time and adjustments will be made. It’s just the shock of the change that most are frustrated about. It happened when it went from 1.0 to 2.0, people initially hated it, then got used to it and many loved it. I suspect the same will happen here.

do you know what problem they were trying to fix specifically with the old UI? just curious why they spent time on this as opposed to other new features

Hi there,
it wasn’t an old UI issue, it was a 3.0 issue with the hangar and it would have prevented anyone from using the hangar properly upon release. so had to be fixed.

301

I don’t honestly know what the point of the new ui is. The old one worked great imo and this one is far too complex
I’m honestly having trouble bringing myself to play rn because it’s that much worse

It takes some time to adjust to something quite different.

I’m hopeful they will refine things as we go - there are now filters on different planes on the main page (our planes vs special - that helps!).

Give it time, it’s a change yes, but it works very similarly, I’ve been playing GRU all day and it’s much better in many ways. Just give it time

Same problem for me. I am about to unlock IAD, which is massive and will be a huge problem with all of the contracts. It’s already hard at PRG with 75 annoying arrivals that can’t be filtered out so it is hard to find the ones that are already assigned a stand and waiting to be cleared. Hope it gets fixed ASAP
