DevLog will follow soon. This is probably one of the last updates on Alpha 23 before cycling to Alpha 24 as we plan to merge the experimental branch with the quite outdated default before end of this week so that we can start fresh on Monday.
Important Change on Alpha 23.6:
Grass runway is no longer suitable for any medium aircraft. Medium aircraft now requires either asphalt or concrete runway with at least 800 m in length.
Some old contracts will have question mark on their logos. This is due to contract data changes. New contracts should have correct logos. Does not affect gameplay.

I was frustrated for delaying in flight planning and flight contract changes announcement! But I totaly understand you had a busy week trying fix the bugs in the version!!!
Keep up the excellent work!!!
Edit: I can’t read the changelog in Atlassian, is correct?
So is it just me, or is this a bug: When the game is in 2x or 3x, planes still miss the runway completely?
Also: I know you all changed contracts, but it seems there is nothing to tell us the size and number of stands before we sign a contract. For me that is crucial to flight planning. Is that something that is gonna be fixed, or is that going to be the norm?
The new contract system has not been implemented yet but they have changed how the contracts are described in the page. It sounds like this is will change once new contract system is implemented and the information displayed will be updated.
Maybe ATR can be added to a new group like “Small-Medium” in between small and medium aircrafts. In future when aircraft modding become a thing, ERJ and/or CRJs can be in this group either.
In the future, is it probable that the ATRs can be moved into a midway class between small and medium, where we can lump business jets GA as well as planes like Saab into such category as well?
