News from Maasai and five new votes!

Hello everyone,

This is Mathieu Laudic, Game Director for Airport Simulator: First Class.
We've made a lot of progress on Maasaï, the next MH/LH that you selected with a vote on Discord and Instagram. We'll show you one of the new art we've come up with, and give you the chance to vote for her features!

You've already seen its logo and two of the airline's liveries in our WIP lounge on Discord, where we post information about what we're moving forward with.

To start with, here's the illustration, showing a 787-8 flying over Amboseli National Park in Kenya, which will be used in the Overview menu and as a loading screen when the airline is released!

I can also reveal the list of aircraft that will be operated by Maasaï: the 737-700, the E190-E2, and the 787-8, which is shown in the illustration.


---------------------------------

We're now at the configuration stage: we need to work out what the various demands and specifications of the airline will be, and you'll be able to vote on Discord, here, and in the Instagram stories to help us!

Here are the 5 aspects of the configurations you need to decide on:

  • Maasaï's favorite aircraft
The winning aircraft in this vote will have the highest percentage chance of appearing in the contracts offered by the airline.

  • Type of contract
Do you want Maasai to offer more Charters or Regulars? Depending on the results of the vote, the game design team will adjust this percentage.

  • Preferred Pax service (Shopping, Fashion....)
These are the services that Massai's PAX will use inside the airport. We will adjust the percentages according to the distribution of votes.

  • Preferred airport services (Fuel, Luggage, Catering, etc.)
These are the services that are indicated on the contracts and which cover maintenance and the provision of consumables for the aircraft, such as fuel or catering. Here again, we will adjust the percentages according to the distribution of votes.

  • Favourite slot time
Would Maasai PAXs prefer to leave early in the morning, in the middle of the day, or enjoy the colors of the savannah until the late hours of the evening? Depending on the results of the vote, the Game Design team will adjust this percentage.


You have until 21 May, one week from the publication of this article, to take part in the configuration of Maasaï and vote on these five points.
After that, we'll have a bit of work to do to implement your answers in the game, so that everything is in place for the imminent release of our first African Airline!
