If I look at the Operations report, I see Franchisee Purchases outstrip the number of PAX though the airport, indicating that some PAX have made two separate purchases at the cafes and shops. Sometimes the Purchases figure is double the PAX throughput… Although the figures may vary with difficulty. I usually play on Medium difficulty.
Am I the only one who gets de-icing during summer? Tends to happen a lot of time for me, day and night and in Europe. Could be worth disabling de-icing during summer and spring moths.
Simply close the stand. If you can’t do that due to incoming flights, turn-off auto-schedule for just that stand. Clear flights for the stand (perhaps one day’s worth). Once the last flight has taken off, close the stand and change the desk. Then turn on auto-schedule again.
If you ‘simply close the stand’, all the flights allocated to it will be cancelled and your bank balance takes a hit.
When I need to close a stand, most of the time it’s to change the Boarding Desks associated with it (eg swap the medium desk for a small one when installing auto check-in gates). The functionality needs to be that as long as there is one active desk/gate linked to the stand then we should be able to delete others and/or replace them without affecting the status of the flights scheduled to the stand.
Or - provide the ability to transfer all the flights allocated to the stand to another stand that doesn’t have any flights scheduled to it (eg a new one or temporarily to the designated ‘Emergency gate’). This will mean the we can close the stand without penalty and do any changes needed before reopening the stand and transferring flights back to it, if necessary.
Cool. I mean the way how you assign a check in desk or bag drop to a baggage bay or a stand to a baggage bay. That system is in desperate need of improvement. Simplest thing is to have everything happen from the baggage bay and allow multiple selection. So choose “assign check-in desk” and click all the desks you want to assign, job done. Choose “assign stand” and click all stands you want to assign. Job done.
Now you need to open each of the multiple items separately, click the assign, find your baggage bay, click and repeat up to 30-40 times. Then comes the stands…
Major issues when reopening any save game (i’ve also tried saving as a new name to generate a new file)
International zone is ignored by customers, then act like it doesn’t exist and don’t attempt to enter or leave it and stay stuck. Fix is to draw a int’l tile within the existing int’l zone then suddenly it “reactivates”. Until that fixing step is completed, they try and directly route to an int’l gate from outside the int’l zone.
Customers attempt to pass staff zones to reach bathrooms and other facilities.
Walk on/walk off stands (no airbridge, but attached to terminal) usual 4 tiles with the left and right for dep/arr seems to be an issue on relauching a save. Customers trying to route via those gates between DEP/ARR segregation. I’ve tried all options, putting a staff tile between the left and right, a wall, everything.
Bug report won’t work, error message after the usual prompts of saving and screenshotting (hence posting this here).
Game status - defaults to Sandbox, Simulate Materials, Don’t Similar Construction… on any game loading from a save game.
Bag issues - 100% score for all tiers of baggage scanning, i’ve watched and seen no under staffing of the 3rd tier, yet in one game hour get multiple dangerous bag reports and fines.
All of above occurring in airports previously without any of those issues, but due to the bug report being an issue too I’m unable to report it usual way
Those issues are making it near impossible to play the game in current state (on default branch with all updates at time of posting this)
Fingers crossed there is either a mixture of simple things I need to do differently, or it’s part of the BETA journey - staying optimistic as there are also lots of positives i’ve noticed in the BETA, but hope the above issues are just bad luck or save game file issues having crossed over to the updated versions.
I’ve found out that when you feed the tier 3 back in front of the tier 1 scanner, you never get dangerous goods loaded to plane. It also keeps the ratings at 100%.
