Airport CEO Beta 7 released

I’ve been having the issue as well. Same with it mostly comes up on pause, often when I’m building/deleting walls. (this was all in Beta 6)

I was about to fire up Beta 7 so I’ll give an update if it still happens.

ACEO-40869 pre-security franchises unusually busy

I reported a similar issue previously in Beta 5 I think it was. Might be intentional set up, but it seems there is still a significant portion of departure customers (arriving from the transit structures, entering terminal), seeking a food/shop franchise.

I’ve got shops in arrivals only segregated areas, yet there is still quite a surge of passengers queueing at the franchises, can see them highlighted green for either the shop or the cafe.

Maybe something in the background a slight tweak? I’ve noticed if no food open, for the first flights of day, there is a quite big crowd at the food vending machine (but not the drinks one). Seems to be a balance/timing issue for the passengers needs? :slight_smile:

No issues with crashes after a solid 6 hours tonight in Beta 7. I’m thinking this issue might be fixed.

Did you account for visitors?

Hi, i did but it is departure customers causing the problem. If I leave the pre-security shop and cafe open, they miss flights by not going to security in time, because they are queued in the franchises.

Screenshot shows better than previously, the issue of the passengers rushing to the franchises instead of check-in and security.


Looks like my problem: Passengers AI go to only one cafe

This is pre-security in the public zones. In secure zone since Beta 7 its actually working really well if given a couple game days running to allow adjustment to any changes :slight_smile: but thanks!

I found that one shop had 2100 sales from just departure customers (arrivals has shops in baggage reclaim areas within secure zone). And that is just 2nd and 3rd wave of customers (1st wave it isnt open soon enough).

The cafe appears to be reasonable balance around half that amount.

EDIT: Make that 2,000 sales for the one pre-security area shop, serving only Departure customers (arrivals has it’s own franchises in segregated secure zone) That’s out of a total daily franchise sales of 13,000 for that day. Something isn’t right.

I think there should be a limit for passengers when they can still enter a shop or not, regardless of the zone. We know it ourselves. If a shop is extremly full, we don’t make the risk to miss our flight. It is true that some shops attract more customers than others. Nevertheless, the AI ​​should always evaluate beforehand whether it can afford it. I spend a lot of time to keep the distances as short as possible. But I have the feeling that I cannot influence it because the AI ​​simply does not behave rationally. My other shops are partially ignored, although everything is within walking distance of the gates: toilets, different snacks, bars and shops. They must only go to their gates and they have everything there. I expect from a tycoon game, that passengers miss their flight when I place the shops too far away. That’s what we do in a game like this. We optimize everything, especially short and efficient routes. I hope so much the developers will keep an eye on it before they release that amazing game.

Any reason why the CRJ200 bugs are getting declared as “no bug” or “won’t do” on Jira? Is this aircraft going to be scrapped?
Currently it seems that all CRJ in Beta 6 and 7 appear as Edwards Bay. Default and Modded.

I assume you’ve already found out but multi livery now works just like it did back in the days! :slight_smile:

@Fredrik?

Let’s hope so! :slight_smile:

Even with refreshed contracts?

Hmm I suspected it was related to an old bug. When people load their old saves it can spawn the incorrect airline due to outdated contract. We get tons of these bugs unfortunately. But this actually seems different. Let me get back to you.

EDIT: Found it, next update will include fix. :slight_smile:

Thanks

My other question regarding ML and Beta 6 is already answered by internal tests. :smiley:
No problem.

I will later check if Edwards Bay Embraer still has the Coast2Coast Livery, that happened a few days ago in B6 for a new accepted contract too.

I’ve found and reported a bug (but annoyingly forgot to write down the number). I’ve got a save where passengers cannot find a path if the only route involves stairs or an escalator. This means I have to use lifts everywhere, which is really limiting!

I had this issue on another save in Beta 6, but it looks like it’s still present in Beta 7 (the save I reported it in is a new game started in Beta 7).

We’re looking into that, will supply a fix tomorrow.

Beta 7.0-1 with the latest fixes rolling out now!

When I have large map I can see the void on the right side, it’s going on only on ‘grass ground texture’, nowhere else. I tried changing worldsize and for example ‘dirt or snow ground textures’ are centered with worldsize, but ‘grass ground texture’ always stay in the same position and worldsize expand to the void.

Will you take look at it? It’s really annoying. :expressionless:

I hope the huge increased cost to 133 for a fence segment was accidental and not intentional.

In case of issues due to excessive RAM usage, @twocflyer 's mods might be the cause.

And finally we do not need a baggage system for small stands… That’s amazing.
