Game update

0.14.3 — 6 September 2026

FIXED

- Alt-tabbing out of fullscreen no longer leaves blank duplicate windows behind.
Every time you tabbed away from the game, Windows added another empty
"Load Factor" entry to the alt-tab switcher, and they stacked up until you
quit. The culprit was a Chromium flag that the Steam overlay helper turns on
for every game that uses it
- Only one copy of the game runs at a time. Launching it again now brings your
existing window to the front instead of opening a second one. Two copies
meant two autosaves writing over each other in the same folder.

IF YOUR WINDOW RENDERS BLANK OR BLACK

The flag above is a fallback for a small number of graphics setups. If you hit
a blank window after this update, add this to the game's Steam launch options
(right-click Load Factor > Properties > General) and let me know: --disable-direct-composition %command%

A fair number of the entries below are fixes for things I got wrong, and most of those are here because a player sat down and wrote up exactly what had happ…Game update14 Sep 20260.16.1 — Busy flights fill up, fewer weather cancellations, and a RoadmapA small hotfix, almost all of it from your reports. Thank you. Fixed · Busy flights now fill up. A route carrying far more demand than it had seats still couldn't get past about 88% full, the seat limit was being applied twice, so day-to-day variation in bookings could only ever take passengers off a flight and never put them on. It's applied once now. An oversubscribed departure goes out full,…Game update10 Sep 20260.16.0 - Your airline runs its own timetable nowYou all told me the management side was too thin. Fair. So I went looking for what was actually eating your time and it turned out to be admin. Building a timetable by hand meant clicking in flight after flight, one aircraft at a time, making sure each plane got home again with a legal turnaround. That is a real job at an airline. It is also not a decision. It was soaking up all the attention t…
