It’s been 3 months since the last airport update, can we expect some new airports anytime soon? 
When can we expect new Airports?

Currently, adding an Antarctic airport to the game may cause an unexpected issue where players take off and land in perpetual darkness. The game’s date is likely set around the summer solstice, as Arctic airports experience constant daylight due to polar day, regardless of time adjustments. The game may need a custom month feature. Alternatively, setting the date to the spring or autumn equinox, when the sun is directly above the equator, would provide balanced lighting for both polar regions.

In the main.mcf file you can change the date. I'm not sure where that file would be located on mobile though if it exists even. Works on PC though.

Don’t forget that Tan Son Nhat Airport (VVTS) has just updated with the largest domestic Terminal T3 in Vietnam! And Da Nang Airport (VVDN) as well. Coming soon, we will also have the stunning Long Thanh International Airport, featuring a lotus-shaped design, located just 30 km from Tan Son Nhat
Thank you!

How complex is it to add positions in the terminals to start flights in cold and dark mode? I miss having more positions in several airports...
It seems to me that this has improved in newer airports, but there are still many airports with few available positions. And what really bothers me is when the available positions are poorly placed, outside the gates or in the completely wrong direction, causing the plane to have its tail facing the side of the buildings.
On my last flight, I had to go through this again. I flew from Cologne (EDDK) to Klagenfurt (LOWK) and the available positions in Cologne are very poor... -

This would make it easier on developers, and allow you to spawn in more interesting places.

I totally agree with you! It would be great to have this feature!

They could maybe do sections like IF it would take a while but it’s all worth the wait.
Example:Canada project
Texas project
Nairobi project etc.

No rush, but you guys should add Nuuk airport in Greenland. It would be an awesome addition to the game. Thanks.

Please add more Canadian airports. Thanks.

Your question contains two points:
(1) Parking positions:
Adding parking positions is possible in two ways:
- Each creator of an airfield can supplement the parking positions at will and ensure that they are collision-free.
- Third parties can create a dummy airfield in parallel, which has the desired parking positions.=> I always create such dummy airfields on request, it is best if someone names their desired airfield and the desired parking positions.
(2) Cold&Dark:
This function depends on the respective aircraft and then applies to any parking position.

Only every creator can correct this, which has been done many times on the part of IPACS (IPACS may also take over my dummy parking positions).
Quotethe available positions in Cologneare very poor...
Which one would you like?

Great to hear there’s people working on more airports!
I’m really hoping for some African and Middle East airports, which the game is really lacking;
Particularly;
Johannesburg OR TamboBole Addis Ababa
King Khalid, Riyadh
King Abdulaziz, Jeddah
Hamad, Doha
Bahrain

this and other airports like toronto, montreal, dallas, and atlanta would make the sim just so much better

How exactly can third parties create airfields in parallel? Who are these third parties?
Which one would you like?
There are only three parking positions available in Cologne (EDDK) and all three are wrong, with the tail facing the wrong way.
I will mark in the images below the places where I would like new parking positions to be added.

Here you will find many examples:
Quote...How exactly can third parties create airfields in parallel?...
I explain the creation of airfields and scenery gradually in the FAQs:
With "parallel" at airfields I mean that I add e.g. to EDDK a second place EDDK00, which e.g. contains (only) the parking positions.

I noticed Elton that there are a lot of parking spaces that are 180 degrees the wrong way.
