v8.0 is out - discussion

[Navigata07]

If anyone can sketch really well, has facebook access, and willing to enter the plane design competition due tomorrow, let me know. Will gladly help by coming up with some specifications to go along with submission.

Contest in FB - AIRPORT CITY

🛫 Create the most awesome-looking plane! 🛫 Seeing all your planes come and go in the airport kind of makes you think: what aircraft would be a nice addition to the game? Which plane needs its own place in Airport City? Come up with a cool idea and win a prize! The rules are simple: • Think of...

Both new levels and new destinations are supposed to be part of future v8 updates. At least that is what was told by dev on Discord.

2025? or 2030? I remember that GI told the same story last year in June that with the version 7 new destinations and new levels will come. same game again?
even for the rocket launches: many things can be created, can be added. space station, To Mars ,.... many ideas have been given from users: but nothing happened.

Hummm! Same history for year and allways someone not happy with new version

Well at least they have this competition going that may spawn new ideas. In all honesty, this shouldve been done earlier this year in preparation for v8....not after v8 is released. A bit "cart before the horse" in my opinion

Any response from G! in regards to the negative feedback?

No more word from moderators nor from Mr Wright, other than what was posted on day of V8 release. And all he said was regarding the issue over warehousing the back to school event buildings.

There were some talk earlier about the Airframe time. Don't know if anyone else posted this but looks to me its the time the plane have been flying.
I have a Condor that have been flying most of the week and the Airframe time says 3 days : 12 hours

yes, but the biggest question is "what's the point of that airframe time?"

Will some of the planes totally unusable after a certain point, or will it break more after a certain time, or what?

Im gonna go on a limb and say that it affects the chances of it breaking down. Maybe I'll check the next plane I repair to see if it resets. I doubt it would be that planes would be unuseable after a while. If they would go to such lengths to ensure people would keep buying/flying for aircraft, then I think a lot of people would call it quits.

That was exactly my first thought when I saw it in Beta. Tried it with repairing, but still the timeframe doesn’t reset.

So, I’m still wondering what it means.

I have a Falcon I have used once on Tuesday or Wednesday and it shows Airframe time 3 hours.
Jumbo Ranger also used once 6 hours 40 min.
Giant 9 hours
These have been used on dfferent days.
So it appears its the hours spend flying this week.

What is is for I have no idea maybe its just to track how much it have been flying for a fun stat?
I repaired the Condor and it did not reset the airframe time like VdW9 said.

Alright more valuable info. It may just be a fun stat or the plane may get more breakdowns with hours.

Amongst all the complaining I just want to say whoever spent time on the operative hangar airplane 360 view graphics did an excellent job... no it isn't that useful, but it is pretty 🥰

Oh we all recognize that along with the mid flight graphics. Both look great.
The issue is thats all the update brought to the table.

 

[Longwolf1972]

I'm missing planes since the update.

Your repair center will not have changed - and there was no repair center 8, 7 was the highest. The OH is a brand new building. You won't have to upgrade repair center again

no, i updated the repair center to repair falcon and now i need to pay 120000 to be able to do it

 

[Madge59230]

Yes. As before. Nothings changed. Upgrading remains the same. You’ll have to do it again to get to the highest level 7 for Condor.

 

[Brummelisa]

Suppose GI just launch V.8 to prepare for new features. The new area could receive special hangars for events like we had in the past, a new hangar to put planes wich you not want in alliance tasks, a new building to customize airplanes or something else.

I hope you have right 🙂. I miss my Christmas hangar and the hangar made of cards (Alice in wonderland), they were so cute 😍

It shouldn’t be hours in flight this week as my Condors timers show 20d 12h...

I think it’s the time between individual plane breakdowns.

 

[Dan]

It is total flight time shown in days and hours. Pit and Spaceydk are both correct. After one flight each it would display Spaceydk's results and after multiple flights (41 at 12 hours each), Pit's.

I am glad to see this information because now it will be easier to compare how efficient I am at keeping my planes in the air as I can compare one to another. Something like this has been asked for on the passenger buildings, again because it would allow the user to compare the buildings to each other and see which one is truly giving them the best rate of passengers based on their game play.
