Basics that should be added

  • Hello, Ipacs , as much as we enjoy the game, they are still some basics missing which in the absence of these the game gets boring at some point

    1. Live weather and time

    2. Weight. We should be able to adjust fuel,payload and etc

    3. Old waypoints. Please update the waypoints at least to simbrief standard

    4. Touchdown sounds for other aircrafts

    5. And lastly an internal map for progress check

    Bonus: AI ATC

    Thank you.

  • Adding weight is not “basic” it is something that is very complicated to add and develop. It will probably be added in the following years I assume. Though I agree with everything else

  • Live weather isn't as easy as you think: You need a weather API, which is very expensive if you have to process many requests. Moreover, with the current weather system, it's very difficult to create beautiful clouds/weather phenomena. We don't even have any showers or anything like that right now. Besides, you can't do much with cumulus and cirrus clouds. Therefore, the game should include many more cloud types and shower shapes. This is possible, but it would be quite performance-heavy, and with 2D clouds, it would look a bit less impressive. (Although it does work.) An easier option for this is volumetric clouds, but running this on a phone is impossible. It might be possible, but then you'll retain at most 20% of your players, because they can run it.

    I do agree that live weather (and all your other aspects) are/is really missing in this game, compared to it's competitors. Maybe the developers can work something out. But will it come quick or soon? I don't know.:S

    These are very complex features and not basic.

    1. Weather takes about 1-2 years of full time work to fully implement.

    2. That is high on our priority list but will take some time.

    3. Navigation data has become very expensive and if we find a cost effective solution we'll use that. Otherwise the app price would have to be 5-10x higher to offset the cost.

    4. We'll update the aircraft sounds over time

    5. We do have the location map and navigation map. But it might be good to add more information about the flight progress, yes.

    6. AI most likely requires constant Internet access but it's certainly an interesting idea. Time to develop this and get fully ready could also be a year or more though.

  • Thanks for the feedback. 👍


    Alright but if the weather might be a bit of a complication, what about live time?
