Hi Olof - started a new sandbox airport (settings below) and it spawns with 0% ratings for most services instead of 50%, and getting warnings that my business opportunities will suffer. Is this intended? (Basically I don’t want to waste time on a new design idea if I won’t get any business… 
)
Edit: checked the save file (about 1 in-game day)…
In my opinion this make sense. Because if you start with a blank green field, nothing builded it’s unrealistic, that you have a rating of 50%
It would be nice if the easy - hard choice existed of several slides;
Income should be tied to a difficulty tier;
I think it would make more sense if the ratings are disabled like for the GA. As soon as a service is available, the rating starts.
It is also weird that not developed services are calculated in the average ratings for deliverables.
But on the other hand, why should the rating be better if you do not provide a specific service?
The service level should be calculated for the existing services, as a service level.
If a cumulative is used as now, the service levels per service should be split in sub-levels.
Make a tab in Economy tab with all ratings, with a zoom-level for all services in the service level, including contributing factors (positive and negative).*
Same for terminal rating, staff happiness, etc, etc.
All service levels should be summarized in the daily report.
** Earlyer I stated the game needs less black boxes in this regard, this is one of the places were black boxing is occurring and this would be an elegant solution.
So then you should remove the Simulation Tags in Steam Shop, maybe?
Well, you do simulate being a CEO of a airport, and I dont think there is a tag for tycoon.
No, this is not intended but not something that I seem to be able to reproduce. For how long have you ran this new game?
Just because it’s mainly a tycoon game doesn’t mean that it doesn’t contain elements of simulation, so yes I need to rephrase my above statement with “this is mainly a tycoon game, not mainly a simulation game”, plus…
… this is correct, there is no default (main) tycoon category on Steam which is otherwise of course the tag we would have used! 
Beta 1.1-0 is now released on the experimental branch! It’s the last beta 1 release we’ll make and marks the end of the first beta sprint. It will soak for a little bit on the experimental branch before being transitioned to the default branch together with a little update on the development in general.
Here’s the patch notes for Beta 1.1-0:
Release notes - Airport CEO - Version Beta 1.1-0
The new aircraft are flown by Tulip and as per usual you will have to refresh your contract with them in order to include the new aircraft in the fleet!
@Olof - It’s literally brand new. I just tested again (new sandbox with custom toggles) on 1.1-0 and submitted bug ACEO-33874.
When will you add Tu-154?
We don’t have any Tupolevs scheduled for the full release, they may be added a later point though but currently I don’t have any more information on that.
Beta 1.1-0 is now out on the default branch and you can see the full change log in this Steam message: Steam :: Airport CEO :: Airport CEO Beta 1.1-0 released
The beta 2 sprint has now started and will be deployed tomorrow evening on the experimental branch! 
Yay, Beta is out 
When you look at Baggage at a large stand, it reports ULD’ in stead of bags, what is an ULD?
Why is it possible to open a Baggage Bay without any check in desks / stands connected?
It would be nice if the “queuing” parameter also had a zoom level, of queue types, so you as CEO know, where the queue quality is an issue.
Oh, the staff warning indicator is awesome!
If your airport rating goes up, your staff pool should improve in quality to reflect your airports higher goodwill.
Playing in Easy I miss the volcano’s, then your flight schedule gets very random in the auto-planner, now its mostly blocks with 12 planes coming in at the same 1h window.
Seriously? You’re talking to the lead developer of the game, and the best you can do it pull out a nitpicking well just remove “simulation” tag? It’s a simluation game. It’s simluating an airport. There are better things to spend your time doing… right?
