Hello i have a question. Since the Northern Europe Pack - By Krijag Exists i believe you guys did not do those airlines at all. If i remember correctly he was not a “member” of this group. Anyway i was wondering if anyone knows if he is still at it? Last he commented was 28 Apr, 2020. His mod is pretty big and contains a bit of everything. But i never get the logos to work or some of the fuel companies. I was wondering if you will redo the airlines he has? Make them up to date if anyone else haven’t already.

Also how is ACEOMM project going? I believe there was some talk about a while ago? :thinking:

ACEOMM is dead.
Not sure about Krijag, it seems he is not active anymore for ACEO.
As new planes came out and our MDKs got improved, we started a while ago to do the airlines as separate mods.

Many are already (re-)done as standalone mods:
SAS, Braathens, Widerøe (I’m working on the Q300 right now), Finnair, Atlantic Airways, Norlandair, Novair, Norwegian

And others are planned to do (like Sunclass with the new Livery) or not published on my harddrive (Icelandair)

You can find the links in the big list or by searching in the Steam Workshop.

Also i just loaded in SAS in my game. But is says only two aircraft’s in the contract? (see picture) I also wanna report that that Spanair Plane is a Snowflake flight :stuck_out_tongue:


Another question about SAS airline? Can you also put the special liveries in there? Like the 70th anniversary Livery and the A319 OY-KBO Livery?

This contract is not from the new SAS mod. (Different contract descriptions, not 5 stars and of course many missing planes)
If another mod has the exact same contract name, only one first loaded mod will appear. I guess it’s the one from Dubinek which has not been updated since big birds came in.

Special liveries are on the to-do list. :slight_smile:

Regarding the MD80, is Snowflake activated in the modding menu? I would say it’s not and that’s why an alternative wet-leases aircraft jumps in.

Ahh, that’s why then. Thanks :slight_smile: It is activated. But i cleaned up my hole mod list. Took old stuff away. And resubscribed to a lot. Will now go into the files. And make my own version of some airlines Like Delta From USA where i only want the big birds. Will also take away Dubineks airlines, but i do want all his companies, he made a lot :slight_smile:

Yes, when you know how to make native mods it’s easy to copy them out.

1 Like

Yes it is, I found all the mods i made. But i completely forgot where to find the Workshop mods… The files with all the numbers? Pls help :stuck_out_tongue: <3

Is it still a question of just changing the Json with what aircraft’s you do not want? And if i want to take a airline away i just delete the hole map? After i copy it over into my own folder ofc so i make it a native mod. If you want i can send all the changes i did? So we can make like an Europe International package? :slight_smile: If wanted.

…\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content[gameID]

There you can copy them out.

What I do:
I have a basic mod package with stuff I use in most of my airports and then I make additional modpacks for the single savegames or countries I play in. Those can then easy enabled/disabled when I use that savegame.

To change the fleets in the native mods, yes just remove the plane entries you do not want.

Make sure that all except the last one end with a comma.

For packages, use Steam Collections. Republishing the work made by others isn’t something modders like to see. Also it’s not possible to update those then. (same issue like the ACEOMM at the end)

For mods made by the modding group, there are already regional collections:

How come SAS is 5 stars? Is it even possible to obtain 5 starts in game? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: ? I have no idea how to get this contract atm haha. And I would really like to :smiley:

You need high enough airport rating (85-90% off the top of my head). There are 5 star default airlines (Maple, Air Strada) - it is achievable, you just need to work a bit to get them.

You can also change the airline star rating when you move it to natives @Megahenrik.

So if you want it a different star then just change the “businessClass” to which star rating you want in the airline json file.

“businessClass” : “0”, = 1 star
“businessClass” : “1”, = 2 star
“businessClass” : “2”, = 3 star
“businessClass” : “3”, = 4 star
“businessClass” : “4”, = 5 star

Thats the great thing about learning how to make and edit natives!! You can make your airlines/businesses exactly how you want them by using the workshop downloads and then editing the json files. We cannot make contracts for airlines exactly how everyone would want them. Just like you want a contract for Delta with only the Big Birds. Someone might want it with just the small birds or only certain planes or liveries for their airport. This is impossible for us to create for everyones wish. But the great thing is you can go in and make it your own yourself :slight_smile:.

But like Andy said. Do not upload them unless you have been give permission by all the modded airline authors. But coping over to your natives to make them the way you want is totally okay to do for your personal use :slight_smile:

Yeah, i have learnt a lot from you guys. I change something in most airlines. Either if there is aircraft’s i don’t want showing up. Now it’s also about merging liveries and old/new. It takes some time but it’s worth it :slight_smile:

Haha, I have the next level for you:
To use a stand with active auto planner but served by many different airlines, I’m doing “mixed”-contracts where planes were different livieres.
Those are also kind of my gap-fillers for open slots but without adding an entire new airline contract.

For example I have a mixed-Europe-medium contract filled with planes from many different Shengen airlines which then appear random at my airport.
Same I do for medium international, medium and large charter airlines, large international airlines etc.

If you don’t care about the name, logo and destination of the airline, this is the perfect solution to make your airport look like in real where one airline maybe only comes once a week.
