Beta v14
Features:
- [b]New feature that highlights routes from a specific city[/b] when you have it open
- [b]Large airplanes now need a long runway[/b] or it will be much more likely for them to crash on takeoff/landing.
- [b]Reworked airport upgrades[/b]; added new tree to the left hand side.
- [b]Airports now have a maximum throughput per hour[/b]. If you have too many planes trying to load at an airport with low throughput, the planes will be delayed, costing you income and despawning passengers.
- [b]New "Safety Systems" airport bonus[/b]. Airports that spawn with this bonus will completely eliminate crashes when flying to and from them.
- Clicking on a plane explosion notification will show a new window where you will have the option to rebuild the plane.
- New UI element in the bottom right quarter that shows you how many of each plane you have under construction.
Changes:
- Slightly increased inflation rates for all levels, and also slightly reduced prices for airplanes to counterbalance in early game.
- Reworked route lines and airplane flight paths to look a little better.
- Removed the ability to favorite planes. This was designed when I originally envisioned the game having dozens of plane models. However since we only have a few to choose from, I have decided to remove the button rather than adding the ability for it to save between loads (and save on clients, etc. if multiplayer)
- Airports now turn yellow if they reach high throughput, as a suggestion that something is Not Quite Right.
- Locked airports are now white instead of yellow, and are transparent to differentiate from unlocked airports.
- Efficient Operations now provides a boost to throughput instead of a reduction in landing fee.
- Tabbed windows now default to the last opened tab when you open them again. Let me know if you think there are situations where this behavior should not be true.
- Buffed how much Attractive Career Benefits reduces your risk of plane crashes (from 2x to 5x)
- Policies & Upgrades GUI now shows you how many tokens you have available to spend in the bottom right corner.
- Made the text in the Quarter Goal Overview bigger
- Game will now auto-pause at the start if the tutorial is enabled, for new players
Bugfixes:
- Fixed bug where profitability mapmode icon would not highlight when you are viewing that mapmode
- Fixed bug where selecting "Quit to Desktop" would go to the main menu instead.
- Fixed the not-workingness of the buttons that let you select plane max waiting time, next stop takeoff thresholds.
- Fixed bug where updating plane max wait time would instead update next stop pax waiting threshold.
- Fixed the name of Montevideo in Uruguay
