Included in this update:
Better controller support
- Use a controller to navigate the main menu, city selection, save menus, settings, hangar shop, and repair and refuel screen.
- Menu highlights now fit the buttons and artwork more closely. Settings pages scroll as you move through them.
- Press the left stick to show or hide button help while flying or walking. The help changes to match what you are doing and shows Xbox or PlayStation icons for the detected controller.
- Fixed reversed up and down selection in the tool and dispatch wheels.
- Wheel choices now flash gold and fade out after you release the shoulder button. Dispatch no longer needs the A button.
- Fixed reversed up and down camera movement when using a controller on foot.
- The spotlight toggle has moved to holding the right stick and pressing X on Xbox or Square on PlayStation. The D-pad no longer aims the spotlight.
Buy and keep multiple helicopters
- Buying a helicopter now places a separate aircraft on a clear pad near the hangar, leaving your existing helicopter where you parked it.
- Selling a helicopter removes the sold aircraft. You must get out and unload its passengers before selling it.
- Saves now keep your other helicopters and restore passengers to the correct aircraft.
- The hangar and saves now track the helicopter you last left when you are on foot.
Passenger fixes
- Fixed passengers appearing inside the helicopter or below the ground when getting out.
- Healthy rescue and transport passengers now walk around the city after delivery instead of disappearing.
Clearer tool controls
- Changing megaphone messages with a controller now shows a scrolling message strip at the top of the screen.
- Use D-pad left and right to change the megaphone message.
- The selected tool’s cockpit panel now has a gold glow.
- Smoothed the rope, bucket, and rescue harness movement.
- Fixed ropes looking detached from the bottom of the helicopter.
Other improvements
- Crime and riot missions are now enabled by default in new user-city games.
- City Settings sliders now show their exact values while you adjust them with a mouse or controller.
- Menu sounds now play properly when moving quickly between choices.
- Fixed input handling when opening and closing the repair and refuel screen.
