Their patch of mid-January, version 1.2.3., introduced a host of new features and improvements that will undoubtedly enhance your AirportSim experience.

Towable Stairs Take Center Stage

One of the headline features of this update is the introduction of towable stairs at all airports. Unlike the existing TLD-ABS stairs, these new additions require players to tow them using another vehicle to position them near the aircraft. This adds a new layer of realism to the game, as players must now carefully maneuver the stairs into the perfect position to align with the aircraft doors. Get ready for a more immersive and strategic gameplay experience as you master the art of towing stairs with precision.

Livelier Airports with NPC Vehicles

Prepare for a more dynamic and vibrant airport environment as new non-playable character (NPC) vehicles hit the apron. These vehicles will enhance the overall scenery in single-player mode, following dedicated roads around the airport, adhering to traffic rules, and even stopping when faced with obstacles or players in their path. Tugs with or without luggage carts will spawn in various configurations, providing a realistic and bustling atmosphere to your virtual airport. Please note that these NPC vehicles are primarily for visual appeal, adding an extra layer of realism to the simulation.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

In addition to the exciting new features, the 1.2.3. patch addresses several issues reported by the Airportsim developers. The development team has diligently worked to resolve the following concerns:

  • Passengers can now board the aircraft when using mobile stairs without any issues.
  • GPU detachment from the connector in multiplayer has been fixed, ensuring a smoother gaming experience for all players.
  • The range for catering connections has been extended, and a walking path for employees to board the aircraft has been added.
  • Multiple sound-related issues have been addressed, enhancing the overall auditory experience in the game.
