I noticed that the large airplane poll, while containing airplanes larger than the ones currently in game, don’t have any of the really large planes, such as the Airbus A380. Would that plane be a separate category, or was it just not a choice in this poll?
The planes we currently have in the game are categorized as narrow-body aircraft(medium-737/A320 etc). The poll is asking about widebody aircraft(large-787/777/A350/A330 etc). The 747 and A380 are categorized as jumbo jets(super). This is why in real life you will see 747 or A380 callsigns have “super/heavy” after. Example- Emirates 101 Super(A380) or Lufthansa 19 heavy(747). The 747/A380 do not fall under the large category, so they were not in the poll
I wouldn’t call that “saving the best for later”, I think the best explanation is that the devs want to make sure the game can cope with smaller planes before they ramp up the heat.
I actually don’t know why people are obsessed with A380s. There are many more small, narrow and wide body aircrafts in the world and some poeple are like “I want A380 and nothing else”
Also while we are sort of on this topic. (I apologise for bringing this up AGAIN) the MD80 cannot be classed as a large aircraft and I have new evidence for this.
The medium stands literally have a stopping mark for the MD80…
Even though I understand the feeling of having such a large aircraft, landing in your airport you spent a few days perfectly creating.
I still believe it’s best to see how a smaller aircraft, yet still a large aircraft is implemented within the game to ensure that the game is fully prepared for the full implementation of the A380 or 747.
I personally would rather much more smaller types of aircraft like the 717, or the 767. But then this game is in Alpha.
I do expect them to come soon, with the implementation of catering to come soon, and cleaning later on, and also having a new aircraft developer I believe it will be shorter timespan than we think. Or I think.
