It did so due to a mix of its height and window positioning in general.

Frequently it would either start off-screen or - if it was still in view - try to get off in a hurry. This is now fixed - the keyboard will come up and you can type away :)Īirline Details ViewThis window has been behaving naughty to say the least. If you want to enter something, name something or search something you need a keyboard - previously it would not come up automatically for a lot of input fields. detailed - check below to see what changed!Another point for a good experience on SteamDeck is the on-screen keyboard.

It has been an issue even on some Desktop resolution/scale combinations and has been annoyingly going off screen for some time due to the way it is designed.With this patch both these windows have been fixed or reworked to fit on the screen - the Airline Detail View got a lot more love to be more. On the other hand there's the 'Airline Detail View' - the window showing all the information about an airline. On the one hand the 'quick scenario' UI did not fit at all - while not used a lot on the SteamDeck it is very annoying to fail. The major issue was UIs just not fitting on the Screen, specifically two.

This pathfinding system is used in some games that require a lot of traffic like, for example (where I got the idea) Transport Tycoon.Steam Deck UIFirst of all we took a look at the problems making it hard or impossible to play SimAirport on SteamDeck. Now, a plane is leaving the gate, before the planes leave the gate, it reserve a route to runway, if no route can be found, the plane do not back to taxiway, it only should back if a route can be assigned, or at least, part of it.įor optimization in heavy traffic, the route reserve can be asigned for example from plane position to next corner. Let's think that another plane is landing on another runway, so it reserve another route to the gate. For example:Ī plane is landing, and when it lands, it automatically 'reserve' the route to the gate, then it takes the shorter route. Originally posted by lvgamedev:This happened specifically as they were 'undocking' from the gate?Ībout the taxiways on the plane etc, maybe you should enhance the pathfinding in the way to predefine destination from gate to runway and viceversa. We're getting there, one case at a time, but it won't be long until these become increasingly rare & are then eliminated entirely. 'There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.'įor a game like SimAirport it's basically a huge 'cache invalidation' problem - we've got the vast majority of the cases solved (there are hundreds, if not thousands of cases) - and we're basically coming across the remaining cases that need addressed. There's an old saying in Computer Science: There are a few remaining things that we're coming across where things aren't 'invalidation friendly' and this is apparently one of them we'll get it looked at and fixed as soon as possible.

The code for undocking probably relies on the adjacent taxiways to not go away, even for a split second (is not 'invalidation friendly', as we call it), which they may do for a split second during 'graph updates' for the road system, in some cases at least. This happened specifically as they were 'undocking' from the gate?
