Change Log v6.13

v6.13.0 - 2025-12-23

Added

  • 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).
