Beta v6
Features:
- [b]Can now view the most in-demand destinations from a given city![/b] Click on the 'Expansion' tab when viewing a city. Special thanks to Drew Durnil for feedback on how difficult it is to find out who wants to go where.
- [b]New Search GUI accessible from the navbar[/b] that lets you find your favorite cities.
- [b]New Ruler at the top of the screen[/b] when you are trying to make a route, which tells you in advance the distance and what planes can fly the route.
- New Airplane Chime sound effect
- There is now a Legend in the statistics view.
- [b]New "Plane Improvement" event.[/b] Offers you a random free perk on one of your unlocked plane models.
Changes:
- Renamed "Fund Expansion" to "Donate Funds" since Expansion is now a new tab in the Airport menu.
- Decreased inflation for all difficulties. Prices will be slightly higher in early game, but significantly lower mid and late game.
- Airline GUI now shows each airline's color.
- Airline GUI now has space for up to 8 airlines without scrolling.
- Can now convert a game to freeplay mode after Game Over.
- Local approval now affects the Landing fee of airports.
- Decomissioning a route (by removing all planes that fly said route) will incur a local reputation loss at both ends.
- Temporarily removed the ability to load games from a save-game since it is broken.
- More content to the Midflight Event.
- Balanced the PuffinBay Planes Event.
- Reduced cost to fund expansion.
- Connect City Quarter Goal will now only make you connect your airline's largest airports, and those airports get significantly busier.
- Expand to Region Quarter Goal now requires you to have less than 33% of that region's airports unlocked, and will prefer larger airports first.
Bugfixes:
- Reworked the local approval bonus you get from having a hub at an airport.
- Airplane Perks are now saved. Sorry about that, this was a major oversight on my end.
- Update Plane button should now grey out after successfully switching your plane's model.
- When opening the Airplane view, the model selector's scroll view now starts at the top rather than at the bottom.
- Workaround for external library bug where looking at Statistics when the game ticks over to Day 2 will cause the graphs to not render properly. There are still some minor issues with the charts but I am not able to solve them without diving into the library code. Which I won't.
- Fixed bug where you could not delete save games from the main menu.
- Fixed a longstanding (!!!) bug with local approval calculations.
