Whiskey Island has a few new features which were added this month:
- Airfield area with a Grass Runway
- Airfield Building with a Hangar Repair Bay
- Airfield Tender Truck
- Biplane
There's a completely new transportation mode available on Whiskey Island - aeroplanes! A new airfield has been constructed on the Peninsula Road near North Beach. It has a fancy new hangar building where a Biplane is now based.
The Biplane is tricky to fly and will probably take a few attempts to learn how to smoothly take off, and even more to master the art of landing. The trick to landing is to make a gradual, shallow approach at a slow speed - but not too slow or the plane will stall.
In a similar way to other vehicles, if all else fails, the Biplane can be relocated to the hangar Repair Bay by selecting the relocation button on the Biplane's equipment inventory panel (select 'R' on the keyboard to display the inventory panels).
The aircraft can also be towed into position by the new Airfield Tender Truck, the same way the Tow Truck can connect and pull vehicles. Reverse the back-end of the Airfield Tender Truck toward the tail of the Biplane until the pop-up menu appears, then select the indicated key to activate the connection.
The Airfield Tender Truck is also used to refuel the Biplane. Align the left-side of the large gas tank (on the back of the truck) with the front of the propellor hub to trigger the refuelling system.
Happy Flying!
