This public beta update is mostly for the builder. First an update to airplane movement, airplanes can now turn smoothly even if the path is not curved. This is mainly to make it easier to connect stands to taxiways as only one connection is needed instead of two and the connection does not need to be curved. It is still possible to create curved lines and it is recommended for taxiway curves and junctions. Otherwise, it will look like the airplane goes off the taxiway.
More builder changes in this update are:
- A selection tool to select multiple objects within an area has been added.
- Hidden lines between waypoints are now visible in the builder.
- Shape generation has been improved.
- A list with all available aircraft icons has been added.
There have also been fixes to the game, added option to select a specific microphone for voice input and the UI style has been reworked.
Thanks for playing!
