v20.2
Features
City connection screen reworked; should better explain the demand to other cities.
Route screen now shows the load factor, a.k.a. what percent of seats on the route's flights are occupied.
Changes
Congestion is now measured only against the queue capacity of airlines who actually operate at the airport.
Since congestion drives demand suppression, expect stronger suppression at hubs now. This will change how the game plays, so feedback appreciated here.
The Congestion tooltip now shows each queue's fill against its own capacity (for example 208/204, overflowing) instead of its share of all queued passengers.
Renamed "Throughput usage" to "Boarding throughput" to clarify that it specifically measures how fast that passengers who are already at an airport can board their planes.
Load factor and AI fleet planning now use actual empirical flight data to more intelligently estimate load.
You can now 'ignore' contracts to get them off your screen.
Route screen overall on-time rate has been demoted to a badge.
New game rule to disable Regulatory Complaints.
