2.14 Patch A - Tjoeker - 08-03-2019
One week after the release, we have a first patch ready.
So far it seems very quiet, we didn't receive too many bugs. And most of the bugs we're related to the same issue.
You may notice time in the scenarios is progressing very slow, especially on the first day.
This is because it has to calculate all filling degrees for all flights. This may take up to 1 minute, maybe 2 minutes on slower systems.
After day 1, time progresses quicker, but it's still not up to speed. I might do another performance upgrade for v2.16 if there is some time left.

Make sure you have V2.14 installed before you install this patch.

Changelog V2.14 Patch A
CHANGE: You can no longer select individual countries when starting a new game.
FIX: Selecting individual continents upon game creation no longer crashes the game.
FIX: Basel Airport is reimplemented.
FIX: solved issue with time not advancing in scenarios.

Next time I will try to figure out how to use the updater by Itch, so if you're using the Itch desktop app, patches get installed automatically.
RE: 2.14 Patch A - RMD - 08-03-2019
Thanks for the patch. I have noticed a lot of improvements from the previous version. Just a few things:
1) i have started a game in 1930 and it is possible to charge ticket prices of 999.000.000, which people actually pay. Is this a known bug? It can make you rich instantly.
2) Johannesburg airport is called OR Tambo from the beginning. Note it was called Jan Smuts well before. Same holds for other SA airports.
3) it looks like no "used aircraft" are being added throughout the game. Is this a known bug?
4) for the in flight preferences, you can select "stars" next to every item. However, after saving, they seem to reset?
5) how does maintenance work? Some of my planes have deteriorated to about 60% after 4 years. Is this how its designed ? Note that i have got auto maintenance switched on.
Thanks!
RE: 2.14 Patch A - Tjoeker - 08-03-2019
1) We honestly haven't tested extraordinary prices. I'll make sure that gets fixed.
2) Most airports don't have historic data yet. We have somebody on the team working on that. But it won't be done for another couple of months. Perhaps by next summer? It's very detailed.
3) I'll check this. They should get added every now and then. Though at some point I can see us redeveloping this part, so that second hand airliners are actually second hand and not generated aircraft, so it's a lot of work.
4) Hmm, we had no issues with this. Did you properly save them at the bottom of the page?
Did the issue occur when saving the IFS, or when saving/loading the game?
edit: I see this is an issue in the latest version.
5) At the moment auto maintenance keeps the airliner above 50%, so that's working as it should.
We're designing a new maintenance feature at the moment, but again this could take a couple of months as it's not our priority now.
Thanks for checking it out!
RE: 2.14 Patch A - RMD - 08-03-2019
Thanks for the prompt reply
Personally i think the pricing is the only one from the items mentioned below that is currently really preventing a realistic game. It looks like any price can be charged and it doesnt affect the filling percentages. Whether i charge 5 or 5 million for a ticket, the filling percentage looks like it stays the same....
With regards to item 4: its when you save the general ifs with the stars selected (i did select the maximum number of stars wherever possible) and then returning to the screen later. Does that help?
RE: 2.14 Patch A - Tjoeker - 08-03-2019
I fixed the IFS issue.
About the high prices: are you sure anyone is still flying?
I tested it myself on ATH-LHR, and asking $5000 in 2019 makes only 4 fly.
Is the filling degree dropping?
What I'm assuming is that you got confused by how the statistics work in the current version.
Example: if you have 100% filling degree on day 1. And then you change the price and you have 0% filling degree on day 2, you will get a 50% filling degree.
Because of all available seats ever , you sold 50%.
So if you had a route running with 200 capacity in Economy for a full year at 100% filling degree, and then have 1 day with 0% filling degree, you will still see 99,7%.
I know this is very bad, and it's our top priority for the next version.
I believe that's the issue you encountered.
RE: 2.14 Patch A - RMD - 08-03-2019
Thanks for the IFS fix
Actually i started in 1930 and only have first class as option of course. Not only the filling degree stays the same, also i see the money appearing in my account. So you can be multi billionaire within a day. Has it got anything to do with the year and the fact only first class can be selected?
If i encouter any other bugs, ill let you know!
RE: 2.14 Patch A - Tjoeker - 08-03-2019
Can you send me the save file for investigation?
You can find the save file in TAPv2.14/data/saves.
RE: 2.14 Patch A - RMD - 08-03-2019
See PM
RE: 2.14 Patch A - Tjoeker - 08-03-2019
I tested it, and the cause is what I mentioned above.
That will be fixed in 2.15.
For now, just keep in mind that the filling degrees shown are the average of all fillingdegrees you ever had on the route.
Thanks to the save file, I was able to fix another issue related to bugged saving of IFE though.
Unfortunately I noticed you're savefile is bugged, so you won't be able to load it and play with it for very long.
A potential fix you could do manually is go to every airliner and set the video option to 'full movie'.
The airliners that you need to fix end with: 'C', 'G', 'H' and 'I'.
RE: 2.14 Patch A - RMD - 08-03-2019
Hi tjoeker,
Thanks for the investigation but i dont get your point. What exactly do you mean? Have you seen the bank account on the file? That money came there as there are passengers paying millions for a ticket. I obviously understand how statistics work being an aerospace engineer myself, but in this case there are actually passengers as the money comes into the account.
Thanks in advance
