Last day of Steam summer sale is here and to celebrate this we’re deploying Alpha 27.8-2 to the default branch. The previous experimental versions have been merged into it and so this is the full change log for the difference between Alpha 27.7-2 and Alpha 27.8-2. A few minor new additions but mostly important bug fixes, is what this update is centered around.
Oh, and happy 4th of July to all our USA CEOs!

Might be a dumb question because I am getting back to the game after a while but is there a summary screen where I can see if all my flights left on time at the end of the day?
Is the aircraft node improvement based on how far in front of the plane the other planes are? If so, you could reduce that value a little more. Is that what the pause is about? If so, some tweening on start/stopping animation would make it much improved.
Ah, now have some images to help illustrate… As expected the Oceanic is heading for the left most taxiway. I’d love that Qantas to go the same path too. Alas, they go different ones stopping arriving planes going up to the stands.
Without mods? But you were able to solve yours and deduced it to being related to a mod you had loaded?
Edit: Checking the backlog we have no new reports for loading issues. I will really need a proper bug report with relevant saves included to be able to look at the issue.
There are no dumb questions, just dumb answers!
Pressing G should give you some insight to the most recent flights (I believe) if you haven’t checked that out yet
That just gives the flight status monitor for active/in airport flights. Is there a way to check for flights in the last 24 hours/day? Like a summary of flight numbers, scheduled and actual arrival and departure times
Is it a known bug that my staff can’t find a way out of the secure zone any more after I amended it? I am still a beginner, but the amendment did not cut them off without an exit in any way, as far as I am concerned. I just expanded my secure zone into a totally different sector and suddenly, at the other end of the airport, my boarding desk staff was locked in (so they said).
Ok, I will. Tbh, I am not sure what really caused this. I expanded the secure zone, but I also built three new security stations and the pathfinding issue came very short after that. Right now, there is a guy in the Steam board who has serious pathfinding problems after upgrading his security stations. So maybe, this could also be the reason.
