Airport CEO Alpha 28.6 released

I have never seen any delays on remote stand due to delay of bus.

It can be if you have multiple stands on one bus stop and if there was some sort of delay cascade, then it can be that the boarding passengers are already getting on the bus and the de-boarding passengers are still waiting in the bus to get into the bus stop.

I’ve suggested the ability to dismiss the bus to begin boarding, because there currently is no way to do this. If you dismiss the plane, the bus leaves, but so does the plane; so I guess the passengers disappear? Would be nice to dismiss the bus for immediate boarding, which would close boarding, because I too have delayed remote flights but its because it takes a while for everyone to get to the boarding desk.

Think it has something to do with service cars not coming back to collect ramp agents Bug 7474!

They sent a 400 series 747 to collect them, how many were there? :rofl:

Bug: Floating money (7477)


Can new Janitor Jobs get a bigger delay in the Employee Type listing?


Why is the star rating business-room related to the minimal of 1 airliner, and not the average of them all?


Can business room contract maybe upgrade their target when you get the target, and downgrade when you dont get the target? (Auto-balancing).


Can auto-assigned check-in desks consider queue length, so, small stands get small queues awarded first, and medium stands long queues.


Whats up with zebras on upgraded medium stands that have jetways?


Why does a non connected baggage bay area to activate itself if it is not connected?


Whats up with this? (7486)


Its funny you cannot open a Baggage bay that has secure zone under it :smiley:


Can we get a more efficient way of connecting multiple object to a single one, I just dragged 30 check-in desks to 4 carousels, and 20 stands … that is a lot of dragging!

if we could “group” them, or drag a baggage connect to another check-in deks and create a chain or something.

And after that you have to manually assign 60 service trucks to depots.

But got it running without errors in 1 go :smiley:


Can shops get a different collor on “closed” and on “contract expired”, its very annoying atm.


Oil refuel rates should be calculated based on total reservoir volumes, not on base tank volumes.


Bug 7490


No, it is a friend who is helping us out with only the faces.

I just want to write a quick “thank you!” to the developers. Not only for developing a game I really enjoy, but also by showing your commitment to the community. Replying to questions and requests, even more than people might be allowed to expect.

Of course I’m one of those Airport CEO addicts that can’t wait for the newest updates but when I keep seeing those “late night” updates from your side I feel a little sorry for your guys. All of you must be super passionate too in developing an awesome game, but so many updates is really more than I can wish for.

THANKS! <3

Can we get a screenshot option where baggage is shown on all belts?

Maybe in pause?


7581 - When changing up a GA small stand, closed it, while a dismissed airplane is on it, I get route issues. Was changing them into commercial stands.


Can we get an indicator on BUS/SERVICECAR stops to show they have a connection; and then I mean without clicking them.


Baording desks still not get the label that has been given to the connected stand.


Why do baggage bays still not show any counts on them? I just connected a few stands to bays, but I have no idea how much stand vs check-ins I have connected atm. Very annoying :stuck_out_tongue:


Oh, the baggage way test is awesome! :smiley:

Can the RIGHT/LEFT/STRAITS be shown as arrows on a tilt tray?


7583 - stranded truck


Setup my first remote stands, with baggage support. Worked very good; easy to setup.


There is an unexplained error on my busstand.

I am no longer receiving a contract fee from completing flights. Everything is on time, and I have submitted a ticket - ACEO-7595. See screenshot to see a plane leaving and my income way below the number I can get from a plane. Love this game, just need that money to expand!

Will have a look at that, nothing’s really changed in the business system for a very, very long time so I’m not sure how anything here could be off… then again, famous last words and so forth.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned anywhere, since the next devlog will drop on Monday, but we have both been working externally from the office this week hence no deployments, they should pick up again late next week! :slight_smile:

ACEO-7618 pushback trucks will not arrive at stands. I have stands that have been waiting at least an hour for a pushback truck, and planes just finishing boarding will receive a pushback truck. I have 1 truck for every stand. I don’t even see trucks en route to the stand.

I’m having the same issue. I did read somewhere that it only affects small stands. It seems to have started at patch 28.6.1.

It is discussed here

ACEO-7627: I notice upon reload, all planes on the ground will not board, even when the boarding desk is staffed. I have the manually dismiss the flight (without any boarded passengers), and then all other flights are ok.

aceo-7641: Ramp agents leave job site early, especially if plane is behind schedule, along with baggage belt. Also several service cars come to pick up for some reason.

Will come a devBlog today ?
