Thanks for reply, but it’s a shame to hear that it won’t be looked at as it was mentioned in a previous post and I think one of your colleagues you asked to look into it but appreciate there may be other priorities.
It’s shame for night flights that we can’t have some flexibility to allow one coffee shop or one convenience store to open to serve those passengers, or to avoid the stampede at 4am (i think?) to whichever opens first once the first auto planned flights are already crowding the terminal (this can cause passengers to route via other facilities to whichever opened first, often walking from a distant seating area, to a shop/food nearest to where the franchise staff enter from).
Will keep fingers crossed but understand there will be other priorities
To be fair he did say its something they’re currently not looking at, which makes sense since they’re primarily focusing on bug fixing right now and that’s more of an expanded feature.
Since Beta 5 i’ve noticed my airside busses are taking up to 1 game hour after the final passenger gets onto the bus (departures) before they then start driving towards the stand causing delays.
Anyone else experiencing same? I noticed it in an airport with a long driving distance, so tested a much shorter distance, same issue. They aren’t leaving the bus bay until just before departure leaving no time for boarding.
This is causing 0% airline satisfaction as each remote boarding flight is being delayed an hour or more.
Asking here first before bug reporting Interested if any other players find the same issue if you watch the bus fill up 100% of expected customers, does it dispatch to the stand very last minute?
Yes, I have something like this on my expanded map. Haven’t tested and reportet it on my normal map yet.
For large remote stands where I use two bus stops, one bus leaves correct and the 2nd bus is waiting very very long until it departs. Even when all passengers have passed the boarding desk. On medium stands it also takes very long until they leave.
I think… there was discussion a while back about this and it was tweaked. My guess is the bus should leave once the last passenger gets onboard the bus OR it dispatches once the queue is gone and leaves behind anyone at a certain cut off point to avoid delaying the flight.
I know it used to be a bug that the bus and it’s flight would deadlock, so it’s great that is now fixed but maybe there is a minor tweak needed to let the bus leave as soon as it can.
I purposely add extra automatic boarding gates on my remote gates, to ensure they get onto the bus quickly to reach the stand in good time But current situation means it is no longer a benefit to speed up the boarding gates, as the bus will wait right until last minute (medium stands I’m talking about)
We’re back! Happy new years to everyone, feels great to be back. Beta 5.1-2 rolling out now on the experimental branch with an important fix for the stalling security staff (and potentially other stalling persons as well). We’ll supply another beta 5 update tomorrow but on Wednesday we’ll start working on beta 6 with some of the final content before the full release, and of course increasingly more bug fixing. We’ll make sure to set some time away later this month for another dev blog.

[ACEO-40080] - Removing terminal foundation on upper floor with terminal below causes grass to render until floor refresh
[ACEO-40083] - Runway ramps now upgradable via runway ramp panel
[ACEO-40085] - Missing null reference check in interaction dependency object system can cause some passangers to deadlock

I had a strange issue where trying to save a game in 5.1-2 (a game I started in 5.1-1), it froze before completing the save, and I cannot even force quit the application. I had to leave it in the background and then log out of my user profile on Windows completely.
I am noticing staff are freezing after arriving via subway, and others will freeze around vending machines. Some staff will act normal, move, and take job tasks, but thee frozen ones will not - they will not even move after a save & reload. This leaves some job tasks never getting claimed for some reason. I did also notice that all staff have dismal hunger and restroom needs statistics.
Well there’s been multiple reports on this so we’ve patched it so that employees with no terminal assignment, located inside a terminal area, will automatically be assigned to that terminal. Should fix the confusion!
It seems that auto-assign upon arrival is not working for me still.
Bug 40157.
“I am noticing the auto-assign employees to terminal function is not working. I only have one terminal, and I still have to manually add new employees to it.”

it’s always the simplest answers with me. SORRY!
