blackbird7 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 This does look pretty cool, and I like the dimension it could add to flight simming. I fly both commercial and GA, and I really like the idea of adding missions and a purpose to these flights for greater immersion. I also like that you can prefer custom scenery. Seems like a great way to explore many of my add-on airports and scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvupilot Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I love the idea and added experience/life to the sim. However, I stay away from subscription based games (and most subscription anything, they all add up quick) so this is a bummer to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can however mute our audio channel via The Transponder if you prefer a sterile cockpit. I hope you realize not everyone can hear well and have made allowances for the hearing impaired so we are still able to experience and understand whatever the vocal interactions are.

An overlay in the top left corner gives you a transcript of all character interactions. It's this level of detail that sets our team of nerds apart from others, you won't miss a beat!

The Skypark functions much like a modern real world service application would. It has a heavy reliance on cloud infrastructure, combine that with constant input from the team to create amazing content and you get to enjoy what makes it feel "alive". There are games that are purchased, beaten and forgotten, and there are games that live on without end due to rich content creation and a persistent world, I'm definitely a product of the latter.

Airwolf Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Is Skypark similar to FSCaptain? and or similar to PMDG Global flight Operations? Trying to figure the new options. Yes, I know I have to wait for Skypark and PMDG Global Flight Operations...(just basing on the whatever info is publicly available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The future of our industry is in the hands of the youth discovering flight, we all started somewhere. Surely you find no harm in growing the community while being entertained yourself with a purpose? I'll pass on your thoughts to Larry "The Loadmaster" too... I apoligise if I offended you Ivana, but it's nothing personal! However I do think it matters. In fact it takes away the realism of the simulator. If there was an option to select a couple of characters besides IvanaFly that catered for a older teenagers and adults, than I wouldn't strongly object to the existing voice over characters to cater for a younger audience!

Andayle Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 How does Skypark decide what size cargo to offer us? Do we tell it what plane we are going to fly and it will generate cargo for the size of plane? Also will we be able to choose a home base? I'd love the idea of say bringing a larger cargo plane full of products to a larger airport and then using smaller aircraft to distribute the items out to smaller airfields and communities.

Dadtom65 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Yep if it’s a monthly price thing then thats a no no from me as well. To tell the truth I don’t know why Orbx bothered with this sort of thing seeing as there are other like options out there. I would think it’s another thing that would interest a few people and like before get bored with it in time. But that’s just my opinion. Derek.

Phill Morgan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It looks to me like it's a FAR simpler version of FSEconomy with all the aircraft renting and purchasing built right in to the sim using a slick, more modern UI. If so, count me in. FSEconomy is far to complicated to get setup, and this looks much easier. I'd happily buy a dev a few drinks each month for maintaining something that is more user friendly, and much more up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting genuine supply/demand items with a sprinkle of special interest cargo items for a bit of fun. - Like being an Amazon delivery driver, we don't care what car you drive, as long as you can get our cargo to the destination. Your fleet is yours, paid in full, use the entire hangar worth of aircraft for ever changing experiences. - No home base, as there would be no benefit to doing so, you're not building a company or managing routes. We do that, you simply fly. - That's what we call multi-aircraft, and quite often you may need to do that, get creative, get it done, but do it on time!

Mickslick Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Really looking forward to this, currently use FXeconomy which is ok, probably better for those engaged in virtual airlines but I'm not inclined to get wrapped up in that. A well polished, continually updated app. with the multiple facets that Skypark looks like it will offer fills a big hole in the hobby, I bet this might be a dark horse that will be a much bigger deal long term than the buzz generated to date, I'm rooting anyway.

YoYo Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Montly fee on the level 14$? Ups.... Not for me. Maybe if You will add demo version for 2 weeks I can try, but the fee level is too high. The idea is nice, I prefer bush flying or beteween small airports so perhaps this soft it could be for me but the bussines idea with monthly fee I think its a bad option especially that we have near similar product like Just Flight Air Hauler.

macca22au Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I am amused by the virtuous complaining about a monthly fee. I pay one to Navigraph, and, yes Netflix. And if I like MFS2020 I'll pay that too. Check your perfection carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wings138 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Okay, I so far like what I see. This is a system that will give me better options then FSEconomy, in FSE there are a lot of locations it will send you (when trying to make extra money with the VIP) that are really small and out of the way, it's almost too extreme, you will go from one airport 700 - 800 miles to land on a grass or gravel strip. In sky park, it will allow you to fly to only payware, sector added or free airport pack airports that have better conditions. This sounds great. As far as the $10 per month, just a shot in the bucket, I pay for my navigraph subscription including charts, I pay to be on PilotEdge, this isn't that much and if I don't like the voice, I don't have to listen. Maybe in time they will give us other choices... My question is, how soon. You said the summer, but is that summer north of the equator or south? I tell you why I am interested, I have been waiting for years for REX to do something and they dropped it, this sounds more fun. And from a company that offers quality products.

Interesting to hear about this new project. There is one thing I missed in all the other similar addons (which have already been mentioned) leading to me not using all of them eventually.

I'm not sure if the "prefer custom scenery" option already delivers that, or if it just takes all addon airports it finds. The latter would be a good start but I would still want to be able to exclude some of the addon airports and add some default ones. Could you please include such an option?

If the payment arrangement doesn't work for you, don't get it (or wait until it does). Skypark isn't for me, but I'll drop a few suggestions for feature requests that could make it more appealing.
