Helicopters are here - Possible bugs and improvements.

[Owumi177]

Android platform: I'm unable to locate any of my launch items (solid fuel, main stabilizer, explosive bolt etc) in the Warehouse, under the "Other" tab.
Don't know if it's a bug or relocated somewhere else outside the Warehouse.

Flight whilst i sleep i feel

Something its wrong here because I should have 3/5 flights but still showing 0/5 it seems that its not counting the flights... I just sent 2 more to see if the will give me the first Star or what!!

I hope they improve the rewards for these collections. Not overly impressed so far. Until they improve the rewards, I'll hold off on upgrading.

Major bug:
I sent four helicopters to Lake Baikal and they did not register as completed when they landed.
Here's a screenshot before takeoff showing 16 flights completed:

Here's a screenshot showing them in flight:

And here's a screenshot after they landed:
View attachment 10618
I did this because I sent four helicopters to Training Flight H last night before going to bed (8 hour flight). When I checked in this morning, the four had landed but they did not count towards the total.
The bug isn't consistent because some flights are, in fact, counted. But others are not.
UPDATE:
I just sent four flights to Banff that were not counted.
UPDATE UPDATE:
I just sent four flights to Fiordland that were not counted.
Cheers,

Same issue, only clocked it with trining flight so far as it’s still reading 0 but i’ve Completed the quest for sky capt bonus!

Fix the flights not counting ASAP! I’m short around 40-50 flights to Stockholm for the week. Counts on the global leaderboard are accurate but not towards my last star.

I have/had a delicate balance going for Earplugs and finishing the last Falcon flight. This balance has been thrown off now

From what I gather reading the whole thread, flights are only counting if they come in whilst game is loaded

That was my guess I have moved all flights to Mogadishu to collect Earplugs while I wait . Not happy!

No way this update went through QA. These many bugs and very obvious at that passed through QA? This was a rushed release.

I saw this too and on plane flights too.
I also noticed that the flights that dont get counted are the ones that go into the hangers waiting to be clicked.
So if you are not around to welcome a flight when it arrives then it doesn't get counted.

Whilst a few "glitches" or "bugs" have been reported, generally I am impressed with this upgrade. I prefer the way menu items are presented; love the whole "quick" flight experience of helicopters, and this adds a great new dimension to the game. Mind you I did wonder, when all the main helicopter flights last only minutes, why does the training flights last 8 hours? When learning to fly, most training flights last only 1, possibly 2 hours.

Same here tbh, I find it all good...obviously I was worried about the launch collections missing but Evan & Cosmic Blue put it right and I’ve realised all can be found for now in the Collection box. If you need anything tomorrow re gifts please let me know

The drop rate of items needed for upgrading H-buildings is terrible. Do we really have to buy them for greenies?

 

[AshPort]

i have noticed that if i wake to my planes having landed then they dont count for alliance etc
this has been confirmed by others elsewhere

not sure if been posted, 7 pages to look through

 

[Madge59230]

This just happened to me! I can guess what it means, but....

It disappeared in Russian and reverted to English after i clicked on 4 heli houses.

55 taps today, spread among cosmic fuel station, hangars, catering, furniture and sweets. No drops. Will try again tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some drops.

 

[Madge59230]

I got 3 items from a couple of clicks of help fuel station. Nothing from plane side.

 

[Harcourt]

A few observations which may have been made before.

When visiting neighbours their Heli Fuel Station does not allow you to click/tap it.
On occasions neighbours buildings do not show the coin icon but are clickable eg Catering facility
On my Laptop none of the Heli counters/timers work. BUT on my windows tablet they all work !!
As others have stated flights are not counted if they return while the game is not active. This was particularly annoying as the 4 overnight helicopters sent on training flights did not count

Overall it is an excellent enhancement to Airport City. In fact, thinking about it, it could be a separate game in its own right !

Harcourt

It is a little odd that the fuel collected from my helicopters go towards my planes and not towards my helicopters, it would be really useful to have those extra barrels of fuel.

I totally agree...could do with the extra fuel for the helicopters it seems to be eating up my cash with fuel, repairs, building etc
