Hello,

I'm very disapointed by the challenge Independence Day 2025.
It's just UNFEASIBLE !
With DC-3 as regular planes ??? is it a joke ?
Come'on, the plane just go barely above 300 km/h, and you ask for the same 2,85 millions total kilometers to do as the previous challenges !

Usually, I managed to complete the challenges, sometimes barely, but the 2 regular planes offered each day and the x2 planes offered during the challenge are sufficent to do it.
But the previous "regular" planes were always 727, 737 or Caravelle, etc...
Now, with these DC-3, sorry, but it's absolutely not possible !
Started Day 1, collected the planes... now, 9 days in the challenge, got 18x Dakotas and 1x 737, and I am just above 520 000 km done....
In all honestly, I absolutely don't see any way to complete the challenge in time !


And no need to say that I should buy additional planes with travelcards or packs...
 
OK, so quick update... as expected, impossible to complete the challenge as a FTP player...

Collected the 32 daily Dakotas, and 2 * 737, used them at 100% per week with a optimized rotation plan, in order to have them in the air for the maximum possible time...

4 hours left, now, and I managed to reach 1,82 million kilometers for 86% completed... so someone can explain me how I can add the missing 1 million kilometer in the remaining available time ?


So what now, Playrion ?
I understand that only Pay-to-Win players matters to you, after all, business is business, but come on'... you can at least try to maintain the illusion that FTP are somewhat considered, even if it's a the very bottom of the priorities...
