Hello there airport CEO!
We hope that you've had a relaxing weekend, perhaps celebrating some spring related feast! We've celebrated by preparing the next quality of life update of Airport CEO, 1.0-15. This update mainly focuses on mitigation of various minor annoyances and also balancing of a few different systems including, for example, passenger shopping demand in departure areas, staff applicant spawn rates, animal spawn rates and some R&D project balancing. We're also addressing some issues with inconsistencies in the numbers reported through the daily economy report, as well as a heap of other minor issues and fringe bugs.
In this update we're also introducing two new variables for modded airlines which can be used to alter the spawn rate of certain liveries and aircraft. You can read more about what these changes mean in this forum topic.
Below is the full list of changes for this update...
