Good work Devs!! I can’t really find that many bugs left. You are sqashing them too fast. :+1: :wink: :+1:

Can we get another damage frequently on runways though, they are into the 40% in no-time again, just after fixing them.

Also, can we get a full / empty lamp on Aircraft Hangers?

Can lot totals, please count all assigned vehicles and not just the present ones, same with stands? And can we get an UNASSIGNED slider as filter?

Phantom fuel trucks in depot - 31474

Could it be possible that traffic note entry nodes, can be used as traffic blocks in the pathfinder, now a plane can stop a whole airfield, with 60 blocks between his location and the next entry node block, and 100 blocks from another waiting plane.

that’s usually a design issue. They might be trying to get to toilets or food.

I’d get rid of the international exit near your security screening - it isn’t needed. All pax can exit via the baggage claim and will simply path-finding. Replace the international exit near security screening with a staff only door (zone it staff only). That will allow staff to get in and out as needed. Keep the secure exit from the secure area next to security screening - staff may need to it get out to the unsecured area. Pax won’t use if you remove the international exit there.

A post was split to a new topic: Airport Hangers Research

From 35 until 36, still always happen the remote Bay Pax stuck in boarding Gate. I reported the bug in 36. The report bug is ACEO-31476

What happens if you redraw zoning under the object that collects the PAX?

One more bug I’d like to report, but can’t–because it’s a bug with the bug reporter. It sometimes will just get stuck at attaching original save, and won’t proceed until I reload the game, but of course, then the bug I was trying to report is lost. :slight_smile:

Also, I’m getting more incidents of phantom employees who cannot find their way to a staff room. The notifications are very brief, and disappear, so I don’t even have time to pause the game and report bug with screenshot. But when I click ‘investigate’, it moves my view to a white-ish object that looks like a square bracket ( ] ), but once I remove the zoning colours to actually see who’s there, no one is… I have ghosts at my airport :scream: :scream: :scream: :ghost:

Thanks, but i see that the problem is that people passing security trying to get to sitting in the baggage claim. I thought passengers should be human and don’t see through walls.
Passengers in real life - “Lets search for a sit around me that i can see and then sit there”.
Passengers in ACEO - “Oh here is a sit in the other side of the airport i can see through the wall, but i can’t reach so lets try sit there, oh i can’t get there” (red “!” mark can’t path find to the location).
So Annoying!

I’ve been thinking about this, but I’d like to get some opinions as well.

Is it possible/better for the hangars to be detached from “Emergency Response Unit” and instead attached to the Commercial License research itself? Playing this on Very Hard, researching the hangars takes up a long time, and within that time frame enough things would have gone wrong that it stalls at least 5 of the stands. This can lead to a snowball of bankruptcy if the player don’t have enough cash by itself.

I agree, maybe there should be an incident free period after researching the commercial license to give the player some breathing room. Even when I started researching emergency units right away, I would get damaged planes that had to wait about a day for the research to be completed.

I reported a new bug where construction stops when materials abruptly stop being delivered. The bug was reported ona a brand new game after this happened on a previous game.

I think the JIRA card number was ACEO-31496 (the report confirmation cleared before I could write it down).

I did have a large number of pending construction objects, 5,567 in total. I’ve tried quiting and reloading the game, firing/rehiring contractors, deleting and rebuilding the delivery site but nothing seems to restart the construction.

I deleted all objects pending construction and noticed that there are still 128 “phantom” objects pending construction even though there’s nothing left to build on any levels.

Could we maybe get a field for free/occupied aircraft hangers, like the PAX/VEHICLE count, in the bottom bar?

how can i change on my saved airport the rating that i can have 5 star airline contracts?
need it to test a mod :slight_smile:

never mind, i found the json entries in gamedata.json

but that leads to a question @Fredrik @Olof is it possible that we Moders can have in the moddata.json a rating field too that will show on steam? i mean, i can see with A36 many requests “your mod isn’t offering contracts” and then it leads that they don’t have the correct rating airport for a higher class mod

Yes for the longest of times I was wondering why my ANZ contract was not showing. Only took me days to realise it’s because it was a five star contract. I’ve now split the contract in half. Domestic is three stars and International is five stars.

I can see lots of this “mod is not working” as well.

Just found out you can drag fences outside the build area (and not remove them after) - 31506

Just had the non building issue after that incident, but I have an economy crash active, no idea if that is part of the issue. - 31509

This happened just after unlocking 3th and 4th airport block, could that be part of the issue?

Btw, it is very hard to explain when the delete bug happens.

Same here, also reported it.

I’ve deployed a hot fix for the construction material issue, Alpha 36.2-3, so same version number as before! :slight_smile:

Hi all!

I have been testing the latest version and when the constructors finished making several constructions, I wanted to put the bird control (the Bird-strike prevention device), but I did not find it, very rare. I had seen it before, but it is not there now. Have you been removed from the game?

Have you checked the runway? It’s part of the upgrades
