Airport CEO News

Hello airport CEOs!

First off, thank you so much for all of the wonderful feedback on last week's major release! It's fantastic to see that the work we put into this game is still so highly appreciated to this date. As a response to that major release we are today back with Airport CEO 1.1-1, fixing some of the most widely reported issues in relation specifically to the new helicopter feature. Here's the patch notes for today's update:



[h2]Improvement[/h2]

• MERC-464: Helicopter flights now differentiated using separate colors in the flight planner panel
  

[h2]Bug[/h2]

• MERC-10: Vehicle purchase tutorial step contains image references to old UI
  
• MERC-299: Medium helipad panel incorrectly show option of ability to upgrade to jet bridge
  
• MERC-462: Medium helipads R&D project can be researched ahead of the commercial license R&D project
  
• MERC-470: Durability modifier is not shown when up- or downgrading medium and large stands
  

As mentioned before, we are continuing to monitor issues as they are reported and will most likely be back with additional stabilization updates over the coming months.

Innovative rotor configurations, sleek cockpit designs, and formidable thrust! These are just a handful of features that define the helicopters in Airport CEO, a new type of vessel that can now traffic your airport! Featuring iconic models like the Bell 206 and the Boeing CH-47 Chinook in a passenger configuration, the Airport CEO Helicopters DLC showcases a quintet of distinct helicopter models that have played a pivotal role in aviation.

This DLC also enables you to operate a new type of airport: Helicopters only! Of course, a hybrid configuration is also supported per your airport’s requirements.

New features:

• Five new helicopters
  
• Two new airlines
  
• The small helipad
  
• The medium helipad
  
• Helicopter only airport operations
  
• Helicopter research projects
  
• Helicopter incidents

As a small celebration of the newly arrived choppers, we put together a small trailer showing them from their best angles...
