Duncan "Slopey" Murray is developing an update to his cargo simulation game Cargo Company Management. The update will add over 100 new cargo types, faster and more diverse job generation, an improved user interface, passenger operations, and virtual airline functionality. It is planned for release in 2014 and will initially support FSX and Prepar3D, with potential FS9 support depending on demand. The developer provided an early alpha preview of the new features but warned it was not representative of the final product.
