Honestly, I think the lag will be here to stay. Face it....Airport City has grown tremendously over the past year that I've been playing, and not a whole lot of people stopped playing vs those who joined. The lag is just an indication of the game's rapid success and hardware just not able to keep upI'm still noticing a bit of a delay on launches - but it may be my own internet causing the problems. Last storm left us with a lot of downed trees, and spectrum seems to be going in and out the last few days. Was able to gift and visit without any difficulties.
