Today we are happy to announce Airport CEO 1.1-0, a new major content update to Airport CEO primarily featuring the new Airport CEO: Helicopters DLC! Part of 1.1-0 are also a subset of other small changes and improvements, some of which already shipped with version 1.0-46 including a major game engine upgrade. And yes, with 1.1 there's finally some proper new Airport CEO content available for those who wish and while the work and development of Atmosfar continues in a mostly quiet state, we have during our free time and in-between sprints been working on realizing something of a personal dream of ours: Implementing helicopters in Airport CEO!
