Bug report (minor)
One thing - when I attempted the plane tutorial and it asks you to lay the taxiway following the highlighted area it reports to steep of an angle. I manually levelled the terrain and it worked then. I had the same issue with the taxiway when laying that after building the plane factory.

Epic!

Pandemy and price drop or rise.. let us know what global event you would like to see (except army related :P )

[Renfield1897]

Wow, big list of updates!

Thanks for all the hard work guys!

The sound of clicking on buttons is a bit.. annoying. It has too much base I think (not a sound expert).

As for events - first of all, as a son of two doctors I'm really glad that pandemic is one of the events. I think others could be strikes - people stop working and make a demand (based on something that isn't provided), like "we want better (more) schools" or "we want alcohol" - that way we'd get more inside on what's wrong instead of the a bit vague "people are running away"

Other event could be an embargo

I am getting a lot of crashes to desktop when loading into a game. Happens on both existing and new saves as well as on random maps and the standard map. I have tried re-installing the game with no prevail. I have send the log file through the website.

Update: It appears to always get stuck on "initialising vehicle types"

[MichDem]

I think I just encountered a bug - when I Alt-Tab (on a dual-monitor setup, game on one, Firefox on other) camera starts to spin around some point (and going down until ground level)

Be aware some mods dont work with this new 0.8.3.8 version . Game would drop back to desktop after trying to load vehicles . So i unsubscribed all vehicle mods and now the game loads . Hope this helps someone with game not loading .
