Update

The own livery is a nice idea. I have some in mind …
I’m not sure if the devs ever look into the forum … but hey, they took at least my Iron Maiden idea :grin:

P.S. my player in FIFA Volta is already lvl 88

@shill does and he talks to the devs frequently. And @swifterik made an announcement in this discussion earlier. So …

That’s happening to me. Very frustrating!

I’m about to spool up Pocket Planes again.

Well … my opinion about @shill changed radically and he is bound to real life at the moment … but who knows

If you have a problem with me (I assume) take it in private message - first of all
.
Yes I am a bit fed up with some individuals being offensive towards me personaly because of some developers decisions (which I do not even try to judge because its their game). I did nothing to take hits on forum from anyone.

Sometimes it makes me understand why the other game devs do not reply to anything from community. We have a say “give them finger they will eat up to the elbow first then to shoulder” and its so true.

With 1,4 milions of download there always be a group of people that does not like something - unavoidable.

They are looking on forum, but its not a big secret that main interest is social medias where activity is way bigger and potential reach is bigger - it doesnt mean forum is not needed it just means there is promile of players actualy fancy to use forum.

I am really busy with things that far more important in real life, like it or not. When things are settle I will continue being more active on replying end. It does not mean i am not following whats happening there, just on thinner scale for now.

Morning all.

now that the dust has settled, is it a good time to download the new update ?
i don’t have big fleets ( NAG - 2 x 787 / 3 x 737 / 5 x 757 , IAD - 2 x E190 / 4 x 737 / 3 x 757 )

Am i going to get stung on the ‘send planes for Maintenance’ issue that a lot of people have complained about ? or has this been ‘fixed’.

i play the game for fun, and actually enjoyed it without having fleets.

cheers

@shill

Love you, man. Take care of what’s most important first.

We’ll still be here.

I would like to point out that most apps / games on Google Play / Apple Store / Steam etc take hours or upto couple of days to push the update to everyone.

Same reason why Android updates take time for the same phone but in different regions in the world.

It toke about 30 hours for we to get the update since they posted it on Instagram, results can vary…

As for first impressions go, it’s a great update with Stands supporting multiple plane types being the biggest thing. Prices for flights have doubled / tripped for AI and Player Flights.

Here’s a little feedback after playing with the new version for a few days:

First of all thanks for the multi-stands and the implementation of player owned cargo aircraft. This creates a really better flow and more action for those of us having a big fleet of own aircraft.

After the experiences of sending a lot of aircraft to maintenance with the new limitations I’ve burned some 60 million W, while also creating 200 golden planes (due to many aircraft that needed a D-check. The big wave of checks is now over but I’m still burning money because the income on long distance and especially ultra long distance (flights over 13 hours) is not high enough in comparison for the higher fuel prices and lower maintenance periods.

My suggestion would be to have a fixed income formula for revenue (e.g. PAX/CARGO x NM x value). Varying on the aircraft you have also a fixed formula for expenses (e.g. Fuel consumption of the type x NM x value). Those “values” can be changed within the game for special reasons, e.g. a fuel crisis or lower/higher demand as an additional feature in the future.

Also there needs to be an implementation of realism for the maintenance distances. Right now S-aircraft need the same NM for a check like XL-aircraft while in reality S-aircraft have checks way more earlier since they start and land more often and those factors cause way more wear on an aircraft than just flying around. I know that checks for bigger aircraft are more expenses than for small ones in reality. So why don’t you implement those factors into WoA -> less but more expensive checks for big birds and vice versa?

I totally get it, that devs want to earn money with this game, so the high prices for a Concorde are a good thing. Many people complained about not having it, so if they want it so badly pay the price for it. I’d also raise the prices for other liveries of player owned besides the standard livery. Those are things where you still can play the game without paying and those that want extra features have to pay for it. It’s also a good idea to lower the amount of golden planes you get for selling your own aircraft, again it is still possible to play the game really good and earn money, but if you want to grow your profits faster than by playing you have to pay for it. Without income expenses of devs are not worth developing more features, there are costs for technical stuff like servers and there’s even more they invest in time. So why not let them make some profits, too?

Good idea with purchasable bonuses! I thought about it too.

no any news ? when is come next update with re-calculate?

Who has written about any re-calculation?

That’s already been implemented. Maintenance fees reduced by 50%

but what about that bug, when is every second plane need to maintenance (after New update)

Maintenance requirements have been changed I believe, when the price adjustment game out.
