Hello everyone!

We continue to debug and address issues within the game. You can find detailed changes (not just bug fixes) below. But for now, we'd like to share some new features that will appear in the game on June 30th.




This will be especially beneficial for novice players. Now, in each epoch, you can start not from scratch but with a small, albeit ready-made, airport. At this airport, all the necessary equipment has already been hired, and all the ramps are linked. You can literally start signing contracts, scheduling and accepting flights immediately.




Many people (us included) have gotten tired of notifications that one flight or another was canceled, even when the flight hadn't even landed. Yes, some situations were due to bugs, and we have fixed them.

However, often the reason that prevents the plane from landing is game-related. Therefore, we decided to introduce the Arrival Stack feature. This feature is based on real-life practices. If a plane can't land, it's sent to fly in circles in a certain area. Planes that are flying a hold make up the arrival stack. Now information about such flights is displayed in a special panel, which provides additional details, including the blocker.

And now you can always see what prevents a certain plane from landing. This information significantly simplifies understanding and the process of airport optimization.




Ever since we released the custom terminal, we've been receiving many requests about the terminal being empty and needing more objects. As we are very busy fixing bugs, we do not have enough capacity to implement a lot of new mechanics. However, we will manage to add decorations to embellish the airport. Now custom terminals will be even more personalized.




The second most popular request related to terminals was about bringing back modern All-in-One terminals. Not everyone enjoys fussing over planning and construction. For such players, we will prepare a new terminal building and remote gates, which (implied that it is automatically) are connected to one of the main buildings. This approach will allow for more flexible and diverse airports.


Our primary focus right now is on stability and performance. So, we won't promise anything more. However, we might manage to implement one more feature, which will be a surprise. Try to guess in the comments, it will be interesting to see who turns out to be right;)


Have a good game!
