Option to enable location-based demand: Passengers/cargo travel between locations rather than airports. Each location is connected to one or more airports, which merely serve as gateways. At this time, traffic numbers are based on (historic) population numbers and country-level “trips for capita”.
When location-based demand is enabled, airport demand bars are computed dynamically based on the total demand of all connected locations. The amount of “bars” is determined based on global percentiles.
Changed
Airport info page does not show traffic distribution time when location-based demand is enabled.
When location-based demand is enabled, the game status page shows the next 10 locations for which traffic will be distributed. Otherwise it shows the next airports, as before.
Fixed
In game worlds set to limit outbound connections per carrier, connections with fully booked outbound segments would not show up in ORS/DS results (no impact on booking behavior).

Changed
Location-based demand: The ground network tab of an airport now shows the connected locations rather than an (empty) list of airports.
Location-based demand: Hide global airport connection statistics.
Airport lists on country/subdivision pages now show full airport names.
Individual Travel Requests: Adjusted budget bounds and request size probabilities for most customer types.
Fixed
Location-based demand: Short-haul flights were ignored by ORS due to ground segments’ negative effect on connection ratings. Ground segments are ignored for the moment.
ORS queries would fail when location-based demand was enabled and the search result contained single-segment flights.
Trying to lay off staff with insufficient cash to pay for compensation would cause internal server error.
Missing error message localisation when trying to offer an undelivered aircraft for sale or lease.
Prevent more than one ticket from being created when a company is reported and the helpdesk server has connectivity issues.
Data
Location-based demand: New set of locations and ground connections based on a revision of the location clustering algorithm (see devlog for details).
Internal
Enable Hungarian localisation in staging environment.
