v0.6.101.2: Casey Keeps Routes Flying During Swaps

Fleet risk replacements and batch upgrades now keep your old aircraft flying until the new ones roll off the assembly line. Routes stay profitable while you wait for delivery instead of sitting idle on the tarmac.
Cancelling a pending batch swap returns any pre-reserved hangar stock. Casey double-checked the paperwork on that one.
The Strategic Advisor got a new Route filter: All, Point-to-Point, or Multi-Stop. Pick what you are looking for instead of scrolling past chain suggestions you do not want.
Hide Slot-Full is now on by default and checks both slot availability and throughput headroom. The advisor no longer recommends routes to airports where you physically cannot operate.

Five new aircraft join the roster. The Wolfram Fw 200 Condor and Meridian M-130 Clipper bring proper choices to the 1930s. The Donau 328J fills a gap in early-2000s regional jets. The Voltair VE-200 is your first electric option before 2030. And the Cascadia Q-500 gives turboprop fans a next-gen ride for the late 2020s.
The Pacifica Triton had its range card mixed up with the Triton 500. Casey rechecked the spec sheets and corrected it. The base Triton now sits where the L-1011-1 should: shorter legs than the 100, much shorter than the 500.
Two new manufacturers on the tarmac: Wolfram (sturdy German long-range builds) and Meridian (American flying boats). Players who like renaming brands can map them to their real-world counterparts in the Name Overrides panel.

The aircraft purchase panel got a proper order desk. Pick your quantity with the 1 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 buttons, type a custom amount, or hit MAX to fill every available hangar slot. The total cost and delivery time update live so you know exactly what you are committing to before you sign.
The Used Aircraft Market now shows up in the Fleet panel's Hangar tab. It was hiding whenever the listings ran dry. Now it stays put with a 'no listings' message so you always know where to look.
Launch customer offers scale to the era. A 1930s manufacturer no longer asks for $50 million to reserve a biplane. The investment tracks the aircraft's actual price, so early offers are affordable and modern ones still sting.

Sandbox mode is unlocked from the start. No need to finish an era first. Jump in whenever you want.
New in Settings: Freeze Era Progression. Turn it on, and your airline stays in the current era forever. The clock ticks but the era never ends. Build your empire on your own schedule.
The Upgrade Recommender now has a Hide Unaffordable checkbox. Toggle it, and the panel only shows swaps you can actually pay for right now.
Air-taxi routes have a fare slider. Open the route panel on any air-taxi route and drag the fare per km up or down. No more tearing it down and rebuilding to adjust pricing.
Casey checked the hangar records and confirms: the Pacifica Skystar is your Constellation, the Skystar Plus is the Super Constellation, and the Triton is the TriStar. They have been here all along under their stage names.

The console is now available to everyone. Press F10 during gameplay to open it. Set your cash, jump to any year, spawn aircraft, fast-forward months. It is a sandbox inside your sandbox.
Fair warning: the moment you use a cheat command, Casey stamps your save file. Achievements lock, and your scores will not upload to the Steam leaderboard. The help, state, and snapshot commands are safe. Everything else trips the wire.
Type help in the console for the full command list.

If your mouse was clicking one spot while the game registered another, that was Windows stretching the cockpit glass on high-DPI displays. Casey realigned the instruments, so pointer and buttons agree on where they are.
New in Settings: a Reset Display Settings button. If the window opens off-screen or the mouse drifts out of line, one press drops you back to a tidy windowed default. Works with keyboard and controller too, so a stranded cursor can never lock you out.

Keys 1 through 4 now set game speed directly. 1 for half, 2 for normal, 3 for double, 4 for triple. The tutorial has been promising this since launch, and Casey finally got around to connecting the wires.
Chinese players were seeing format errors all over the UI, and the word for airport slots was translated as gambling machines. Casey sent the bad translations back to the hangar and straightened out the terminology across Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
Japanese and Korean translations had similar format-string mix-ups causing display errors. Those got the same treatment.

If you started playing before antitrust enforcement existed, loading that save used to flip the regulators on behind your back. Casey pulled the default. Old saves now load with enforcement off, and you can toggle it any time from Settings under Campaign Options.
Delivery ring icons on the map could freeze in place and drift with the camera after a route rebuild. Casey found orphaned icons left behind when routes refreshed. They get properly cleaned up now.
The difficulty and sandbox menus could run off the bottom of the screen on smaller displays or at high UI scale. Casey added a scroll rail so every option stays reachable.
Tokyo has been reassigned from Narita to Haneda, its busier hub. Nicosia now shows its own code instead of borrowing Larnaca's. A few cities that were sharing runways with their neighbors got their own entries straightened out.
Fixed corrupted format strings in Russian, Ukrainian, and Arabic translations that were flooding the error log. The machine translator swapped Latin letters for look-alike characters in those alphabets.

If you played the demo before buying the full game, your achievements were logged locally but never sent to Steam. Casey found the disconnect: the unlock check saw them as already earned and skipped the handoff. Now every locally-tracked achievement gets pushed to Steam on startup. Fire up the game and your missing badges should appear.

Rivals were going missing. If your competition had grown past the three you start with, loading a save quietly dropped the extras and swept all their routes off the map. Casey tracked down the filing error, and your full roster now comes back exactly as you left it.
Closing Casey's Flight School with the X button used to shut the tutorial down for good, so it never offered again. Now the X just tucks the dialog away for the session. It returns next launch, and you can always replay it from Settings.
The trustbusters were double-dipping. When regulators forced you to sell routes, they could grab one the government was actively paying you to fly, then fine you for dropping it. Casey had a word with the front office. Forced sales now skip any route under an active subsidy.
