Airport CEO Alpha 31 released (The Multi-floor Update)

Sorry for double posting, but i got a new issue. This time i could report it, so i’m looking for a workaround while we wait for the bug fix

All my baggage trucks freeze while serving small stands, causing the planes to also freeze, therefore causing massive delays. Any workaround for the time being?

@looksgoodfp, Check your Ramp Agent Staffing level. It may be inadequate. I don’t see any Ramp Agents in your screenshot.

Sounds more like there is no way for ramp agents to reach those stands (try adding a sidewalk on top of the stand and make it a secure zone

There are no crosswalks on the stands - they look like remote ones. I would also suggest you try a connection with a sidewalk. Wasn’t the pedestrian function removed in the last patch for normal roads? This could be your solution.

Mm, but i do have airside buses and service cars, and boarding had already completed. Ramp agents seens to be stuck at the service car’s stop, thats why i thought i was a bug. But if im doing something wrong, please let me know.

And you have the service cars connected correctly to the stands as well? Try a 1 car per stand approach. Maybe they are cluttering up because they cannot decide which job goes first, create an internal timeout and stuck in a loop.

And how do ramp agents / PAX get here?

And this too :wink:

Right, gonna try this

@jasperwillem, Ramp Agents would get there via Service Cars.

I have the baggage claim area on a different level than the baggage bay.
How can I connect them? I always can only see one of them… :confused:

Got it.

  • click the claim area connect symbol
  • press PgUp/PgDown until your on the level of the baggage bay
  • click on the baggage bay
    There should be a more intuitive way…

First two pics : I cannot delet boarding desk at ground floor after i’ve upgraded the stand with jetway, built 1st floor with another boarding desk so pax check-in at the ground floor desk and then they go to 1st floor to board the plane.

Third pic : pax just waiting outside for the check-in desk instead of going inside and take a seat

Fourth pic : pushback trucks go all the way down just to make a u turn and go back to the stand instead of just turning in front of the depot.

This has been a problem for a couple years. Devs keep promising to fix it Soon™.

Hope that “Soon” is soon :joy:

With some exceptions (going to the nearest restroom), the majority follows the corridor and do not walk through the Departures Hall (lvl 1). Down to Baggage Claim (lvl 0) and then to buses/subway (lvl -1). Now, if I had one-way doors (to place on lvl1) or if the jetways also connected to the ground floor (from where arriving passengers would disembark), separation would become a reality.

Good evening, we’re back with a first-of-the week update for a few critical issues we’ve spotted reported widely across the board, the changes for Alpha 31.4-2 are as follows:

    Release notes - Airport CEO - Version Alpha 31.4-2

Bug

  • [ACEO-14132] - Ensure that second floor terminal foundation has been built befor allowing jetway construction to avoid security checkpoint connection confusion
  • [ACEO-14262] - Ramp agents cannot access service car stops placed on other floors than ground floor
  • [ACEO-14294] - Job task transfer location for remote stand service rounds incorrectly overwritten
  • [ACEO-14295] - Zone areas existance checking does not always reutrn correct value

Notice: Regarding the remote ramp agent bugs mentioned above, 14262 and 14294, we will not issue a debug feature to get those flight back into working order (since we’re on experimental). To solve this issue, simply dismiss aircraft on remote stands who’ve not received service and the next ones coming in will work fine.

The default push has been postponed a little since we want to have these fixes soaking for awhile, and another full day look at bugs reported over the weekend tomorrow! :slight_smile:

Multi-floor to default (non-experimental) branch. Cleaning, Catering, and De-Icing(?) to experimental.

I hope the transition to the latter one will be quick. Having more floors makes existing things a bit more complicated and might bust our saves. I would like to see more services rather soon than later. (impatient me!)

Good evening! Today’s update is here, Alpha 31.5-0 and we have a whole bunch of fixes in place for you.

    Release notes - Airport CEO - Version Alpha 31.5-0

  • [ACEO-14016] - Fuel truck operating cost incorrect in economy overview
