Airport CEO Alpha 32 released (The Turnaround Update)

Hello all! :smiley:

Just checking in from the summer break, have done some maintenance work on the forum (which you might have noticed yesterday…), replied to a few e-mails and other stuff including writing in a few threads here on forum. Did read all of your posts in here too and a lot of valid discussion but as it looks now we’ll be on hold for another one or two weeks or so before we all get back to it and start rolling out new updates.

Will however keep popping by here and offer assistance and input on support matters and other issues! :slight_smile:

I’m having problems with ramp agents loading and unloading baggage from the baggage carts as all they do is walk up and down, yes I know you have to submit a bug report blah blah but I can’t because it simply crashes my game when I attach a screenshot or it doesn’t connect to server when yet I’m fully connected to the internet.

I had the same problem. it disappears only when I have more baggage carts than plane stands.
(3 plane stands = 4 baggage carts)

On my side, I have this issue with luggage unloading


Sometime, some of the luggage get dark and can’t be unloaded by nearby rampagents. The car will be stuck indefinitely resulting in an infinite delay.

Edit : Ramp agent even unload the next plane, but the cart is still stuck at the same position

Edit 2 : the luggage service looks to be slow / broken in general. On some stands, carts do not move at all or only perform form only a part of their tasks.


This is creating major traffic jams and keeps ready planes in the airport while they are ready to go.

Hey, nice to have you back !
Regarding the Astar issue, I started a brand new save, it simply disappeared. Maybe, my initial save got corrupted after several update.
Regarding the bug report, would it be possible to increase file size ? Currently, i can’t report any bug via the tool since my saves are always too big.

Hey guys.
Maybe I’m the one who is an idiot, but there are some issues with the aircraft stands. Some of them are missing from the planner, but the other thing is that, the jetway is missing too, so after embarking, the passengers are mooving downstairs to floor zero, and reach the aircraft. Boarding is on the first floor. Any guesses?

I’m not sure about the flight planner issue but there is an easy fix to your boarding problem. You can just click on a stand, click upgrades, and click “Build Jetway”. It’ll cost you $10,000 (I think) but they’ll board on the first floor. Are the stands that do not show up have commercial aircraft enabled? :grinning:

… and will include fixes that are really originating from Alpha 31. I’ve read everything here and have a very full backlog of bug reports so the coming days will be all about looking at the big picture bugs, clearing them and deploying updates! Depending on the amount of work we get done, and how well we begin to plan stuff, we might as I mentioned earlier release a dev log but we want it to be qualitative and informative so we might wait a few extra days just to let you in on a better estimate of what’s to come. Today we’ve done mostly organizational stuff such as filing receipts, changing file management system, replying to more e-mails, updating software and @Alexander has had a good boxing round with the first German bug reports. By then end of it he’ll no doubt be fluent in German, which is a nice perk. Feels really good to be back!! :heart_eyes:

You need to activate them within the mod window from the start menu.

Good evening! Here’s this week’s first update as promised, a lot of all-round bug fixes but naturally a heavy focus on bug fixes for the new turnaround services. As of right now we’re looking to have Alpha 32 on the default branch as soon as possible.

    Release notes - Airport CEO - Version Alpha 32.9-0

Bug

  • [ACEO-11373] - Flight planner sometimes shift a planned flight five minutes after confirming it
  • [ACEO-11517] - Deleting wall causes notable performance spike
  • [ACEO-12209] - Time format is not set correct on tutorial phone
  • [ACEO-12309] - Flight planner clock is layered behind scrollbar
  • [ACEO-12422] - Imperial passenger height and weight units missing for passenger panel
  • [ACEO-14323] - Vehicle procurment text size too big
  • [ACEO-14419] - Aircraft cabin cleaning turnaround procedure does not take deboarding and boarding status into account
  • [ACEO-14784] - Parallax effect on road check-point structure
  • [ACEO-15012] - Stairs do not fill out entire allocated model area
  • [ACEO-15036] - Incorrect texture property setting causes console spam
  • [ACEO-15265] - De-icing process can get stuck in a loop when reloading game
  • [ACEO-15583] - Vehicles displaced too far from a road node gets stuck
  • [ACEO-16101] - De-icing trucks not colorable
  • [ACEO-16312] - Aircraft cabin cleaning fee slider value reloads when closing fees panel
  • [ACEO-16345] - AM/PM time doesn't work in flight process monitor

New Feature

  • [ACEO-11852] - New language: German
  • [ACEO-14968] - Template tool (ability to copy, paste and save a group of objects as a tempalte)

As you can see, the German version of the game is publicly accessible! This does not mean that the quality checking is done, however it does mean that from the initial reports we’ve received on its quality it’s valid for the experimental branch.

Secondly, the “secret” feature is now also out. After some testing on the internal branch, the first version of the template tool, a copy and paste tool, is now also available. It’s accessed via a blue button next to the bulldozer button in the building section of the lower menu, complete with instructions on how to use it.
