You need to make more connections between cities. Proper spider web it. That way there aren't so many people going through one city.

The Key Is upgrading planes and routes, and building other routes. If an airport is full, it's gonna fill again, and you lose all your money into delaying another airport crisis.

“Paris to France” 10:30

Fun fact: Katowice is pronounced “Katowice” in Polish

Matt upgrading airports is like when you have a reservoir with 10l/s input and 8l/s output and he tries to solve it by increasing the reservoir size not the output pipe size

As a Swede, I love your pronunciation of the Swedish cities because they are so bad it makes me laugh.

11:02 "instantballs" instead of istanbul lmao

Hats off to everyone who noticed where Matt died and restarted the game.

8:16 2137 LET'S GOOOOOO

11:38 having multiple planes is more useful if they come in different time instead of following each other step by step. Your upgrade made their speeds equal so it's effectively a one big expensive plane

8:20 2137 XD

you found my level...

Regarding the polish names od places it is not so difficult once you know how to pronounce letters. They do not have dreams and ambitions like English vowels. A yt video named "How to read Polish or something" is pretty solid.

I love RCE's attitude to city names: Sweden: "I'm gonna butcher these" Poland: Not even trying XD And then "Katołajs" comes in

Anyone else notice Copenhagen to Liverpool disappeared and became Copenhagen to London around 5:00?

Need to upgrade airports as a last resort imo. Upgrading them doesn't yield any increased income and doesn't solve the issue that caused them to be backed up Upgrading planes and adding more planes to flight paths gets more income and decreases strain on airports

Longer single leg routes do give more money. You only get paid based on the length of the final leg. Avoid making chains like you did. Always always always upgrade planes and add planes before upgrading airports. Upgrading airports just delays you losing. The only exception is when the largest airplane is bigger than the airport. You do need the airport big enough to fill the plane, but that's later game strat.

That Cat-o-vice is actually Cat-o-vee-tseh (Katowice).

8:19 2137! POLAND!

Red/full planes are the most cost efficient. You want red planes. However you don't want red airports. If an airport stays reddish after all departures then you want to upgrade your planes or increase departure frequency by adding more planes to a heavily traveled route.

It seems the Real Civil Engineer was an architect all along.

You need to make more minor connections. Instead of flowing everything through main airports, add minor connections to surrounding airports. Or if a minor city pops up, instead of adding it to the nearest major, send it a little further to a minor and chain traffic. It'll reduce the time majors fill up and use minors as a storage.

Approved: your pronunciation of the Sweden cities. Impressed: they’re using small cities in Sweden. Disappointed: they didn’t use the Swedish letters ÅÄÖ. Laugh: your pronunciation of Istanbul, “instant bull”

Paris to France is the best route!

I feel like it would be wiser to prioritize a connection to the main destination for each of the cities. Having direct routes to those would help turnaround a lot id say

Katowice is quite easy to pronounce in polish. You should try something like "ka · tuh · vi · tsuh" :D OK OK to be honest it's quite hard. But you should try "Przedmieście Szczebrzeszyńskie". Yea yea. It's my native language :D

I find it funny that you struggle with a name like Katowice, but then nail Albuquerque in the first attempt.

I love you for the Bugs Bunny reference. That episode specifically I always loved.

I haven't actually played the game myself but my first analysis would be the following strategy. this will allow you to concentrate money flow on a few stations and will give a clearer indication if you need to upgrade a station or a flight (though the extra/upgraded plane will depend on the situation at hand, I'd say try to go for most passengers per money if possible) create 2 kinds of stations End/start stations - Has only 1 connection, - This is a most desired destination so the pops disappear upon arrival. Whenever this station starts to glow yellow or red you upgrade the flight (never the station as any buildup means the generation of travelers is bigger than the throughput and this won't change by upgrading the station) Travel hubs - These should be the most desired end stops of a region (Most likely the capital city) this is because they disappear at an end stop and thus need a flight les - These are connected to all the local end/start stations - Is connected to at least one other travel hub but preferably all the travel hubs - Connections to non-travel hubs are only upgraded when the non-travel hub is glowing up - when the station glows red there are 3 options most likely you need to undertake two of these * 1 upgrade station (Will likely need one of the other options as well) * Check which connection has too many pops and up that connection (Extra plane or upgraded plane) * Check if the most wanted destination can't go through a different connection hub (If Cairo wants to go to Paris but is passing Ukraine, Poland, and Sweden it might be better to create a direct line) If you end up with too much cash connect all the travel hubs like a spiderweb If you have time for extra micromanagement you can look for 2 End/start stops connected to the same travel hub that have a lot of travel in between them and give them a direct line. Attempt to not connect them to an End/start station that is connected to a different travel hub as this might turn them into a travel hub themselves.

11:03 instant-bul lamoooo

New planes always spawn from the beginning of your line, so if you establish a line FROM London to Copenhagen, any plane you add to the route initiates its service from London. If you want to know which end you begin your route, you can always look at the name of your route (London-Copenhagen)

I haven't played the game but it seems like you should prioritize adding more planes, upgrading existing planes, and adding more alternate routes over upgrading the airports themselves. While busy airports will need to be upgraded, for the most part focusing on upgrading them is just delaying the inevitable without addressing the core problem, which is that your routes don't have enough capacity.

I'm from Poland. I watch your videos to have fun and learn English from you. Pleasant and useful. Every time you said "Katowice" I smiled.

my favoutite "instant bull" instead of Istanbul, we love you RCE

RCE: Very apologetic about Katowice.. a city I havent heard of.. Also RCE: Instantbull.. (11:05)

You were a drainage engineer, right? Upgrading airports instead of routes is like increasing gully capacity without increasing your pipe diameter. If it’s filling up faster than it drains and the rain isn’t stopping in the foreseeable future, then you’re just delaying the inevitable overflow.

After the last video, I bought the game and had tons of fun. Now after this one I’m going to play it even more

Missed chance at 15:40 for "Houston, we have a problem"

"STOP GAME! Give me a second to breathe!" That's what the pause is for...

this is wild since i was watching one of these fly corp vids from like a year ago, then suddenly a new one pop ups

Imagine having all these connections to get anywhere, so many people would be angry of the long travel times

Upgrading the airports just delaying the problem, since the lvl 1 plane can only hold 20 peps, when the city screams cus its got 50peps, the problem is they arent getting away from there fast enugh, so especially places where alot of people need to go a plane should probobly be able to hold atleased the entire airport worth. Some comments are saying to spiderweb, but that seems to be to expencive, so upgrading the rutes with planes/better planes rather than the airport. You still need to get the people away and keeping them there dosent pay, so its better to be ontop of it and make sure they can be shuttled away rather than keeping them there just extending the enevetable

@Real Civil Engeneer, you didn't pronounce Katowice correct. Not even once. But I am still proud. Its [ ka·tuh·vi·suh ]

You’re constantly delaying crises, rather than looking at where people wanting to go and planning strong resilience/load on those routes. You start off meaning to, but it’s not just long distances that require extra load in terms of planes, it’s also ‘popular’ trips. So you end up with long, inefficient chains that have people waiting at five, six airports for connections which overloads them. Yes, new routes are expensive - the basic upgrade to level two and adding a plane to a route are well worth it in this game mode - but remember that a new route immediately adds a level one plane to that destination that is then consistently removing as many people as regularly want to go there (which you can see), so when somewhere is overloaded, if you can afford it, check where they want to go *that they’re not already going* and build that route. You want a massive spiderweb of hub and spoke designs for each country with interchanges at secondary level hubs, I suspect, but i’ve not played enough to confirm - it works for me!

I'm always excited to see RCE videos!

FlyCorp Friday!!

i come from a place really close to Katowice and the pronunciation is amazing 😂

You need more small planes to fix beeping airports. Big rare planes make things worse. When one big plane arrives, it unloads too much passengers, they overfill airport while waiting their next planes. Big number of small planes provides more constant flow without sudden surges. Eventually you'll have to upgrade planes and ports, but you'll be able to accumulate more money to that point.

~Istanbul~ Instantbull 11:02

Everyone complains about spoke and hub model, but the civil engineer immediately makes a spoke and hub on his own 😂

Small problem with your solution of upgrading the airport whenever they beep is that its very short term it dose t fix the problem it just buys you more time so upgrading the station than moving on is just making more issues you need to buy more plans and upgrade more plans so you can actually more money not just hold a bigger line

Hi Devs! I heard about and bought Fly Corp because of RCE. Love it!

Planes always appear at the first name in the connection. So if it says it's the London > Copenhagen route, new planes will start at London.

Wow, tourism is super popular in the post apocalypse.

10:30 ah yes! who doesnt know the connection between the cities of Paris and France! :D loving these videos :D

I've had this game on wish list for over a year. Plus it's on offer. Plus it's fun watching you playing it again... Maybe I'll do it.

What a Great Video Matt!

10:30 "Paris to France, nice easy route" -RCE 2024

I live like 20 minutes by train from Katowice And I'm there at least once a week And it's spelled like: "Cat-ov-itze - Catovitze" in Polish And I love the way Matt is struggling to read Katowice XDD

surely getting new planes and upgrading planes should be priority over upgrading airports? if you upgrade airports all you are doing is delaying a problem instead of getting rid of a problem.. if you have lots of traffic on a road, do you make roads wider or do you make lots of carparks for people to sit in while waiting?

Theres a good scenario called "Australia Boom!" by SalDada, it is very fun you have a city unlock every the seconds

Only have one plane per line. If a plane is full, upgrade it immediately. If an airport is full, upgrade it.

Hey Matt, don't forget: First the planes, then the airports!

Yayyy , i have been to norkoping and linkoping , its an amazing place, I loved my time there . best people ever :)

this looks interesting! im going to try the demo

Missing the making planes lvl 3 right off the bat, would help reduce some of that stress, yes it costs more up front, but may not need to upgrade for a while

Please RCE, chose a Poland based scenario, it is gonna be fun, I promise.

The scenario was very hard at first for me but at the end they've stopped giving new countries and I became a multi-millionaire, I got 4th place (at the time). You've got to plan your lines better on efficiency, its not always the smart move to make a super long distance flight, and also keep some money on you for alarming situations!

More planes and more branches for flight paths and more upgrading and more preserving money as much as possible.

Karlskrona mentioned😎🔥 represent😎 1:07

7:10 CAT O VICE so CATOVICE thats the closest words that could sound super similar

As a polish man I'm wondering how to explain pronunciation of Katowice so someone from i.e. UK pronounce it as it should be 😂 Katoveec[eh] ?? POLACY PROSZĘ O POMOC XD

Prefect clip was thinking of this before it appeared

So fun fact, in Polish W is pronounced the way V is in English, so it's actually pronounced Ka-to-vi-tse.

As someone who lives close to Catovice I’m sending you some of the tears I shed listening to you breaking your tongue 😂 cheers Matt

As I hear you butcher Katowice over and over here a quick lesson: While the Kato part is fine, then we have 'wi' and 'ce'. The 'wi' being like the 'vi' in Victoria or 'visual'. The 'ce' being like... no known to me part of word in English :D Phonetically it would be: katɔvʲiʦ̑ɛ so you can use some IPA reader for that to hear how the 'ʦ̑ɛ' sound works :D

Had to buy the game from watching two videos of it from matt looks fun

“Connect it to Tunis?” - draws line to Athens

This is like one of those ads where they're bad at playing it makes you want to play it.

Why make a choke-point.... Add more parallel routes

I played the free mobile version, I don't think there are custom scenarios on that. But I also couldn't handle the stress of it, so I'm glad I didn't pay for it! 😂

ka tuh vi suh THATS HOW YOU PRONOUNCE KATOWICE AS A TEA DRINKER

I love the fact how you spell Katowice meanwhile in Poland the Catowice meme had started to blow 😆

11:05 they should rename istanbul to instantbull

Awesome as always!

Matt, i have recently made a bridge is Satisfactory and i would love if you would give it a Bridge Review, as i plan on making more and would love to have an engineer’s opinion on it.

11:02 "Instantbul"

Time to teach RCE about the 'hub and spoke' configuration of real-world air travel.

Rce, in trailmakers they have added a hard hat skin in the new dlc, you should play it!

3:07 i think it's something around "katto-veesh" or "katto-veese" in polish it's double v

How did Liverpool - Copenhagen suddenly become London - Copenhagen? And why did he first decide to connect Warsaw to Copenhagen, only to have connected Katowice - Copenhagen seconds later? Sneaky off-camera changes! I'm confused! Also he should have connected kyiv to warsaw instead of katowice if he wanted to go for connecting the capitals.

Day 66 of notifying people that the Discord server's Suggestions forum is a better place to suggest new games to Matt. (Just don't ping him!)

Just wondering if this game calculates prices for distances correctly or just uses the planar map length to set prices...

Instant bull is cray 😭 11:03

Hi il like Matt and paddy thei are my favorite youtubers

Imagine surviving a nuclear holocaust and being blessed enough to be near an intact airport with a functioning aircraft, and yet you still have the patience of a drunk karen and can't stand to wait 12 hours for the 6 hour flight to return to pick you up

Damn it, this is the second game I instantly bought from watching you, thanks!

Played like a true architect:)

If you had more planes, you wouldn’t need to upgrade the airports as much right? Because the people would be leaving the airports more quickly instead of building up.

Gotta route those trans-atlantic flights thru Reykjavik
