Alaska released. What's next?

Featured Replies

Does anyone know what was actually in the pics, so we can try to pin down what part of Africa they might have been?

 

If that is even what they were, of course, but this is not the first time that name has come up.

It looks like Ms wants to stick to bush flying theme. That's why it is likely next DLC will be Africa . So I will be very surprised is they add Europe or large jets. I just hope they are over with II WW war birds. Fortunately there were no conflicts in Alaska liked we had Pearl Harbour in Hawaii.

Has anyone noticed, and was this always the case? (I only really started up doing cargo jobs again in AK)

 

When I am overloaded (every flight LOL) he says: Lose some gas or take a stronger plane

 

I wonder what this means, now Alaska is out of the way..

 

He sure doesn't mean take the deluxe Cub model..

 

A glimpse of future DLC, perhaps? "Stronger" planes...

This was already the case, yes. We are still waiting... :wink:

It was always there long before Alaska. The only changes I noticed are tweaked Maule performance with load . also the propeller angle adjustment works much better now. Just it's a pity they haven't fixed the check-lists bugs.

Really? I must be going mad, then..I ran about twenty or so clandestine missions on HI, and they were pretty much always overloaded..I'm sure I don't ever remember him talking about stronger planes; only dumping fuel..Anyway; it bodes well, however long he's been saying it!

Yeah I can confirm as well he has been saying that for a while now - which certainly does give hope for larger aircraft to come!

Next up: Mare Tranquillitatis and a LEM (with a VC, of course, including a flight computer which easily gets overloaded...)

Sweet, I'll grab my golf clubs.

Yeah, that looks like fun. You bring the clubs and I'll drive the cart.

 

Been keeping an eye on that in my watchlist hoping to catch it on sale. $9.99 is cheap, but EVERYTHING goes on sale eventually at Steam. May as well save a few bucks.

If the developers stick with the US and also doing a state at a time then my guess would be Florida. That would not be my choice but it is my guess. You get a bunch of islands (they seem to like islands) (so do I) and a very easy mesh. I think the highest point is about 400'. My choice on a state at a time basis would be Washington. (And I don't mean DC. lol)

 

I haven't bought Alaska yet... not sure if I am going to. I'm waiting to see what we get in the way of planes over the next few months. But from reading many of your posts it does sound as if some cleanup work is needed there. In my opinion some work could and should still be done on Hawaii. The city textures could use some work and while I don't expect photo based scenery Diamond Head should look more like a volcanic cone and less like a large ant hill. Although it would be hard to fault Flight's Hawaiian airports except maybe a couple of the smallest ones.

 

Beyond the US lots of places come to mind. French Polynesia would seem like a natural for this game. I suspect they would pick Japan over England. I've lived in both so either would be OK with me. Greece and the Greek Islands would be beautiful but the Icon would definately need some backup for that... I'm talking Goose, Beaver, and so on. I'm also talking out of my hat... just speculating.

 

Have a nice day,
