7.0 update is out

[Bigglesbaz]

The airport might be more realistic but it's damn time-consuming!

 

[Free2Play]

Please refer to correct name to avoid confusion.
There are no "stands" in your game / available for purchase.
Boarding Bridge(s) cost 5500 ACG coins.

Just updated a level 74 game that had 12 hangers (10 red, 2 green).
The version 7 resulted in 1 Boarding Bridge.
If I read you correctly there should now be 12 Boarding Bridges.
The game wants me to buy 11.


Terminal -> Terminal Sections - Boarding Bridges

Please kindly check this guide to avoid confusion.

There're stands available for purchase with coins, but understandably all top players who had many hangars got those stands already built for them by us instead of the hangars, so they don't need to buy them. Boarding Bridge is a new entity between the Terminal Section and the Stand that speeds up passenger loading for jet planes (e.g. all planes starting with the Hawk one). The first Boarding Bridge is pre-built, and you might have a small prop plane on that stand, and since small planes don't use boarding bridges, there's no effect on speed of passenger loading.

Visit a Small Village city, for example. You'll see on the screenshot below that old fella has 4 stands and 1 boarding bridge — and he needs to build everything else.

Actually, it takes a lot less time to launch 10 flights (for example), because the flight timers start as soon as a plane leaves the stand, which means in 10 taps (with Ground Control) you have all planes in flight in about 10 seconds, while previously unless you had 10 runways — and most players don't have 10 runways — you'd have to send a few planes from the 2 or 3 runways you had, after that send next 2 or 3 planes, etc.

But, yes, if you want to land guest planes en masse, now it's a bit more complicated with all the waiting lines and free/busy stands. This one's on purpose.

Good news, we've found why the fuel counter is bugged: if you don't complete the tutorial for players updating from 6.31 to 7.0 version, the fuel indeed doesn't replenish while your game is off. So, a quick solution here is to finish the tutorial that explains what are Terminal Sections, Stands, etc. — and reload the app after that.

Good to know; thanks.

And you dont have to sit and watch them. Do other things like collecting coins! I find it quicker as you dont have to wait for a runway to be free to send off. They wait all on their own.!

I’ve searched this question in the search bar. Can’t find the answer. What reputation level in v7 must you have to be able to send 20 gifts?

It may be on purpose, but it made me swear first thing in the morning. Having 13 planes to land in a small amount of time, half awake, really made me angry. I just wanted to have them all in the stands, ready for me to tap on them. It’s the second worse feature of this new AC. The third worse is the name of the planes.

The names arent too bad, although they will take some getting used to. However, they need to change the design of the jumbos and the thunderbirds.....they were perfect the way they were before.
Now I need to check out the rest of the features; finally took the plunge a few mins ago

Sorry Navi, but the names are a nightmare to remember, and I just hope they don’t translate them all to my language, leaving them in English. Otherwise I would never be able to tell which is which in English. Not much hope as they are already mixed:

I see why that would be problematic.
Also, it appears we have to purchase boarding bridges even though we had high level hangars before? Do we all start with just one?

Confirmed by Ivan somewhere in the forum.

Can anyone else confirm @Barkmi4 (Mike) 's claim about fuel not regenerating when not in the game? That would be a major bug if true.

same at my main game, not regenerating

Apparently you needed to do the tutorial to get it to regenerate. If you skipped it, then youre out of luck

No problem here

Oh, thank you Ivan I didn't expect a reply. I see your point overall, of course, it's just a shame that the planes can't land and then materialize at the stand instead of all the taxying -- the taking off doesn't worry me as all else has been done. In the evening I tend to play the game when the adverts come on TV between a good program or film; I used to quickly collect PAX and speedily send my planes out again....now it takes a tad longer that's all. Apart from that, I like the new graphics and don't have any particular bone to pick. Baz

The new format will probably take time to get used to as is only natural. I'm sure I'll find short cuts somewhere. Have a nice day

I completely agree with the landing part being tedious right now for your own planes and completed flights. It should work this way: if the flight time has expired, and you're not in the game within 30 seconds after that, the planes should be all in the stands ready to tap on them — if there're enough free stands for all planes, of course. That's how it was written in our docs by late May. Unfortunately, our engineers got very busy with fixing critical bugs and this feature was pushed back. Right now, it's planned for 7.2 update. Sorry about that, this was supposed to be part of 7.0 update originally.

Let's say it this way: they were too perfect. After our team was finished with designs, our legal team has done many changes to some of the planes to be sure they're not resembling famous models too much, and it didn't work well for some of them. And we can't say 'no' to our legal team.

If you skipped it, you open it again, 'tap to continue' 10 times (or whatever) and tap "Complete" in the final menu instead of "See later". After that, you reload the app, and fuel regen should be fixed.

This a failure on the part of our translators, we'll fix it with one of the future updates.
