Split from previous topic, to continue this discussion :
I have been testing this further and should have seen at least one passenger in a Lounge by now
Recently I had increased the number of Check In Desks into Baggage Drop
I was able to see the flights they had been assigned
However on adding Baggage the details disappeared
I then noticed the Check In Desks show the flight and “economy”
I therefore decided to swap half of the Baggage Drop back to Check In Desks
Next to the Boarding Desk I installed two Lounges, for two airlines
In the next attempt I widened out the Lounge to include the Boarding Desks
However, the flight completed and left with no passengers!
I then returned the Lounge back to its original
I then added a further two Lounges
Once they had been built I then added a small bathroom
However none of these are used by any passengers :
Information Desk
Buffet
4 x Sofa
8 x Seat
2 x Table
Sign
… built the lounge and opened it. They came without asking.
And since a few patches ago, toilets within lounges are also used only by valid lounge passengers.
I do not use steam (I assume that is what you mean)
Equally, I now have quite a heavily modified version
Want to take a punt and see what happens?
Need instructions on how to upload save to steam
Update -
Logged into steam website, no option to upload
I cannot come out of the current world (at the moment)
Downloaded the Mods from steam
Copied locally
Removed from steam account
Removed all the default Mods and replaced with the downloaded Mods from steam
ACEO now sees them as default
They load much faster
As the last few days have passed I have amended the downloaded Mods
For example
I now have Travelex (Bureau De Change) Before Security and in three Units Airside
I doubt that will work
As above, steam is denied in the firewall
When I start ACEO on my computer it return
“Cannot connect to steam - No updates - Please try later”
Moving on
Commenced testing a Lounge in Terminal Three (the above was in Terminal 2)
Virgin Atlantic have four stands, the most of any (International Terminal 2 and 3)
I have placed the Lounge towards the far end, stands 3 and 4
In this case I have expanded across the footfall area, this works with food and shops, and will compare
In effect passengers from the stands 1 and 2 may not see this, so this will confirm my suspicion
See what happens with this one, just hope it does not take several game days to see some results…
I still do not know why the Lounges in the centre (ONE and TWO) did not work
I have now removed them
I have added further Lounges and these have all worked
It does take a full game day to wait for them to become used
Sadly they only really work as alternative seating, as there does not appear to be any income / sales
However, they appear to work best when the two rows of Large seating nearest the Boarding Desk become full
I then added some to my Domestic Terminal (Terminal One), where the assigned airlines have at least three stands -
easyJet, Ryanair and Logan Air
I had some doubts if these would even work
Equally, I know these airlines really do not offer a Lounge, but why not!
However, the Ryanair Lounge is incredibly busy
Furthermore, adding a connected Cafe appears to have worked
