Hello airport CEO!
As we're preparing for Alpha 30, i.e. The Soundtrack Update, we're today deploying the last update for Alpha 29 to the default branch. It contains a series of very important bug fixes for various systems but mainly regarding remote stands. It also contains a few new minor features such as three additional aircraft and a subset of general process improvements.
As we're preparing for Alpha 30, currently live on the experimental branch, we've thrown together a contest that lets you have your ultimate airport designing skills featured on the main menu of the game. To learn more, check out this Forum topic!
Here's the full changelog for Alpha 29.12-11:
