Airport CEO Alpha 29 released

[tyler1]

I would love to see a REPAIR ALL button, its a little cumbersome to click each stand and runway every 20ish minutes.

[jasperwillem]

A “shift” repair click would do it for me, for stands / for runways, etc.

[jasperwillem]

Build 4 lampposts on all corners of the subway station. I dont bother with Rubble, I also like them inside my terminal now and then

[ismtz]

@Rubble

Subway entrances are not meant to be placed inside.

Why not? It’s very convenient, especially for multiple terminals

[yuuka_miya]

Hire a COO and structures should automatically repair themselves.

Airport CEO Alpha 25.4 released

Can you file a bug report with your save? Am currently looking at issues with passengers walking through walls. As for the subway, it’s not “meant” to be placed inside… they’re outside structures and are thus affected by sunlight which means that when it’s dark outside they’ll also be dark. And what @pderuiter said is 100 percent correct, unless we specifically ask for the save in an e-mail we’ll always be the happiest if we get them via Jira! Edit: Running your save now, can…

[Olof]

It’s simply how it was implemented, if there’s enough community demand we can make it buildable inside too.

This game badly needs a planning tool.

[rsdworker]

well - builable subway stairs/escalator/elevator down - they will be simllar to subway station outdoor one - i will put idea on it

Blueprint Planning

Please can we get the ability to plan out areas??? i waste so much time building something then tearing it back down because i got it wrong? If we could use a planing system first i would save so much time at the begginging of each game!

[Implemented] Airport Planning Tool

So, at work there come great ideas sometimes… sometimes not for actual work whatsoever. lol Reading an article in a work-related newspaper about major airports adapting themselves to accomodate (U)LCC in the future, sometimes even with newly-built and dedicated terminals I wondered: Is there something planned like an Airport Planning Tool? (couldn’t find a thing but maybe just used the wrong search words) For example you have your airport up and running nicely. You were able to attract airlin…

A planning tool would be nice!

Feature request title: A planning tool Description: A tool that allows us to draw out our plans before construction would help our Airports look better! Like a blueprint drawing or something. Why it should be implemented: It will make planning out the floorplans of our airports much easier before building begins.

[d0mocracy]

Is anyone else having an issue where passengers wait idle in the non-secure areas after check-in and once boarding begins, they attempt to go thru security, only to delay and/or miss the flight altogether?

At first, I thought maybe I didn’t have enough security check points, but with 16 medium-sized check points, I then started to observe that it was moreso passenger behavior.

[Olof]

I’m currently working on a bug that causes manned security check-points not to be available (when you press it it says that its not operated in an orange message bar) - is this what’s happening to you?

[d0mocracy]

Yes, unfortunately. Then, the queue is emptied until the jobs are reassigned.

[Olof]

Good. It will be fixed in tonight’s update.

[Trojan]

Any idea on when that CPU update will move to the default branch?

[Olof]

As soon as possible, most likely with the next experimental release, we have a few minor but important fixes we want to get in in relation to a pax pool Reset() call that isn’t working.

[Striker97]

Pax just wait outside the terminal until the check-in desks open instead of sitting and wait inside and for some flights ( usually remote stands ) there is nobody checking-in

[ismtz]

Please add the “Dismiss aircraft” button to FPM. When testing airports, it is often necessary to send many delayed flights at the same time and it is very inconvenient to search for each stand separately and manually send aircrafts. FPM is a useful thing, this button is very necessary. Added this to Ideas too.

[Olof]

@Striker97

Pax just wait outside the terminal until the check-in desks open instead of sitting and wait inside and for some flights ( usually remote stands ) there is nobody checking-in

We have some limitations in place regarding how far distance they are allowed to search for a seat due to performance (the further they are allowed, the large lists they will have to sort through) which is why they are stuck there. Same goes for terminal foundations, if those would be closer they’d walk in. But I agree, it’s not optimal. Can you send me the save at support [ a t ] airportceo [ d o t ] com? I’d like to run a few behavioral tests, see if I can tweak it a little bit.

[Olof]

Another day another update… we’re agile!

Some critical fixes is in this one for sure, and hopefully the last as we will try to get in a default transition tomorrow!
