Hi there,

I am a Pilot in real, flying in southern Africa for a charter airline. Unfortunately I cannot really use Airline Empire, as most african airports seem to have a runway length of 0 (e.g. Windhoek Hosea Kutako, Eros, Freetown), some are missing at all (e.g. FYKM, FYSM, FYLD). Will this be solved in the near future?

And besides that, we are flying mosty Cessna aircrafts, e.g. Cessna Grand Caravan 208 etc. These are not in the system. Any change to add these?

Many thanks

The airports with length of 0, can you fly planes into them? The smallest plane on airline empires is probably a J-31 or Beech 1900D. It would be a great idea to add a cessna though. What airline do you fly for? What is your airline the game?

Hi Spenser,

cannot fly into any of them, as it gives me the error that the runway does not match the minimum for the plane.

I am flying in the game the "Air Etosha".... but not flying yet though, bc of the runway problem. In real life I am flying for a little charter company called Namib Bush Air.

Thanks
Christian

Hmmmmm,
Your flying in Sim2 right? You might want to repost this in the "bugs" forum. Something that you might learn about flying into smaller airports is you will make less money. I am flying out of Las Vegas and Orlando right now, I fly AirCruise (Let me know when your airline is up so you can join my alliance).

I have researched and filled in the runway lengths for all the airports missing them, so that is no longer an issue. As for the Cessna, I will add it to the list of aircraft to be added when I have time.

How much do you think it will sell for?

Hi,

added the C208 Grand Caravan today, have to add Cessna as manufacturer later (right know you will find the C208 within "Show All Aircraft" only).

You should put the Saab 340 and Piaggio P180 Avanti on the market next.

Thanks,

Hi,

Fixed it.

Hi,

Fixed it.

It seems to be doing the same on Fairchild USA. The next aircraft on the market should be the Piaggio P180 Avanti, Beech 1900C and Saab 340.

It has been mentioned before that if you want to request an aircraft addition then please supply all the pertinent details so it is easier for the developers to put in, so they do have to do ALL the work.

A little work on the part of the person requesting would not go amiss!
