Horrible update

Itโ€™s very annoying the new way to upload the planes if you want to pick individual jobs. We should have the option of choosing from the list as before not grouped in destinations.

Huge Update

Iโ€™ve been playing this game for over a decade, and the new update to fly west and connect to Asia is absolutely huge. This changes the game, literally.

Great game! Couple suggestionsโ€ฆ

This game can be endlessly fun! There are so many little challenges or ideas you could deploy to help grow your fleet, revenue, value, etc. The game has a lot of great business management lessons, too. It teaches you about efficiency, bottlenecks, profit maximization, etc. The recent update to fly over map edges is great and long overdue! However, as far as I can tell, thereโ€™s no possible way to get a Class 3 aircraft across the Pacific Ocean. This kinda defeats the whole purpose of that update and is just not realistic to have no ability to fly a wide body aircraft from LA to Tokyo. Also, the inability to buy the Concorde is a bummer. Even if it costs A LOT of bux, it should still an option.

Latest update is peakkk

Fun game and doesnโ€™t spam you with ads unless you choose to watch them for rewards. Latest update gave that little bit of QoL it was missing imo ^^

Horrible update

Now with forced ads!!!Itโ€™s very annoying the new way to upload the planes if you want to pick individual jobs. We should have the option of choosing from the list as before not grouped in destinations that are arranged in a random way.
