You can now filter job routes on the Job Marketplace map so only jobs fully visible in your current map view are shown. When the default behaviour is toggled off, a job disappears as soon as either its origin or destination moves outside the map viewport.
You no longer need to re-apply every time you return to a rank you’ve already been cleared for.
When a company approves you for a rank (whether manually by a manager or automatically through progression or eligibility) that approval is now remembered. If you later switch away and decide to come back, you can move straight into the rank without waiting for approval again.
In the Pilot Portal, ranks you’ve previously been approved for are clearly marked as Pre-Approved. These ranks let you switch instantly, even if they would normally require an application.
Managing the release of collaborative demand across multiple airports is now significantly faster and more controlled.
You can select multiple airports directly in the Collaboration Dashboard and release demand for all of them in one action. A new batch selection bar appears as soon as you start selecting rows, clearly showing how many airports are selected and which actions are available.
Two batch actions are available when you have the appropriate company privileges:
Company and user selection fields are now more visual and easier to scan. Wherever you choose a company or user (such as transferring funds, deleting a company, or selecting a recipient) logos and avatars are displayed alongside names instead of generic icons.
This makes it quicker to identify the right company or person at a glance, especially when working with long lists or similar names.
Used aircraft listings are now clearer and more informative. Broker sales and third-party sellers are highlighted directly on the aircraft image with new badges, making it obvious who is selling the aircraft.
A bug with aircraft storage logic has been fixed to better reflect ownership. Previously, if you owned a hangar but had set it to public use for a fee, your own aircraft would not automatically use it after slot grace periods end.
Now, if you own a hangar, your aircraft will always automatically use it for storage, even if that hangar is set to public access with a price. You never pay storage fees to yourself, and aircraft will no longer be pushed into less suitable public storage because of pricing settings.
Space for (m²) filter now accepts larger values instead of being capped at 999Does Not Meet Minimums filter from showing routes from all companiesYou can now see what’s happening across all companies in FSCharter in one live, real-time feed.
The new Activity Feed page brings together major events from every company into a single global timeline. As flights depart and land, jobs are accepted, aircraft are traded, or companies join partnerships, you see it instantly.
Each entry is clearly labelled with readable titles, meaningful descriptions, and visual icons so you can quickly scan what’s going on. You can also filter the timeline by company or activity type, making it easy to focus on competitors, partners, or specific kinds of events.
The feed updates live while you’re on the page and supports infinite scrolling, so you never miss what’s happening across the world.
You now get much better visibility into how and when you get paid as a pilot.
In the Career Progression tab in the Pilot Portal for a company, each rank now shows:
This makes it much easier to understand why pay is pending and exactly what you need to do to unlock it. If a rank pays every 10 hours, you’ll now clearly see your progress toward that threshold and the amount building up along the way.
The My Work page has been upgraded to give you clearer, more actionable information. At the top, Pending Payouts now includes contextual help explaining:
Each company row now shows:
You can now also jump straight to managing your pilot career from My Work. A new Manage Employment button takes you directly to the Career Progression tab for that company, where you can:
This removes the need to hunt through company pages to manage your pilot status.
You can now filter jobs by hourly pay, letting you focus on work that matches your earning goals. The filter intelligently accounts for:
This helps surface jobs that actually make sense for you to fly.
This release represents one of the largest structural updates to FSCharter since launch.
The focus has been on reducing friction and making long-term progression feel more intentional for both pilots and company managers. Core systems such as contracts, job discovery, company interaction, and rank progression have been reworked to and make the platform easier to understand and operate for both beginners and long term users.
For pilots, the aim of this update has been to make jobs much easier to find and to reduce the overhead of using FSCharter. For managers, the update brings better tools, less micro-managing, and more control over how companies are structured and run.
We've updated the the documentation to reflect this change and we'll be updating the videos soon. Here are the most notable documentation pages that have changed:
Many of these changes also lay the groundwork for future features and improvements. As always, this release reflects feedback from the community and ongoing use of the platform - thank you.
The contract system has been replaced with permanent Pilot Rosters.
Pilots now join a company’s roster on an ongoing basis, allowing continued access to jobs without needing to renew contracts. This, as you'll see in later sections, also enables us to build long-term progression routes within a company.
The new Roster system behaves likes the old contract model (hourly pay and rank-based earnings), but massively reduces the administrative overhead of contract management.
One of the key changes enabled by this system is rank flexibility. Pilots are no longer tied to a single contracted rank. If the requirements for multiple ranks within a company are met, pilots can switch between them freely to access different aircraft types or pay structures.
Attention Managers: Existing contracts have been automatically mapped to the appropriate ranks where appropriate. If the new rank has different pay and/or pay interval to the old contract then the contract with the user will be terminated and any due funds paid out. It is recommended that Rank and Pay settings are reviewed to ensure values are configured correctly under the new system.
Attention Pilots: If you had an active job during the migration and we were unable to manually map your contract to a new rank you will be paid a one-off payment for the value of your flight. You will not lose out on revenue.
The Job Marketplace has been redesigned to remove barriers to job discovery. All jobs that you are eligible for across FSCharter are now visible by default, regardless of current company roster membership. This replaces the previous model where visibility was limited, and allows pilots to explore routes and operators without needing to first accept contracts. The legacy 5-contract limit for viewing jobs is also gone, removing the guesswork from finding jobs you actually want to fly.
To support faster and more approachable job discovery, particularly for newer pilots, the Job Search Assistant has been introduced. It provides a guided way to surface suitable flights based on factors such as distance, duration, and aircraft type, without needing to configure complex filter combinations.
For more experienced users, the main filtering system has been reorganised into clearer, purpose-driven sections covering Popular, Aircraft, Route, and Company filters. A dedicated sidebar also enables quick searches for jobs departing and/or arriving at certain airports.
Accepting a job will automatically add the pilot to the operating company’s roster if they are not already a member.
Interaction with companies has been restructured around the introduction of Company Portals. Each company now has a public-facing portal that can be viewed before applying, providing visibility into their operations and fleet. It also serves as the home for existing pilots, with quick links to manage career progression and view the job marketplace for that company.
From the company profile, pilots can see operations, catch up on company acticity, read NOTAMS, and quickly search for jobs associated with specific company aircraft.
After joining a company's roster, pilots gain access to the Career Progression view. This tree-based interface maps out progression within the organisation, showing rank requirements, aircraft access, and the steps needed to unlock new ranks over time. From here pilots can apply for new ranks or switch between existing ranks that have been unlocked.
Alongside this, a new Company Directory page has been added to allow pilots to discover existing companies and better understand their structure, pay, activity, and areas of operation before committing.
Management tools for company owners have been expanded and reorganised to support clearer planning. The new Rank and Progression Manager introduces a visual, drag-and-drop canvas for defining career paths and managing rank pay within a company. We've also introduced rank duplication as a quality-of-life improvement, allowing rank settings and aircraft constraints to be copied quickly when creating or adjusting progression structures.
Communication with pilots has also been improved through the introduction of the NOTAMs feature. Managers can now issue Notices to Airmen, categorised as Announcements, Information, or Important, which are surfaced directly in the Pilot Portal to ensure key updates are visible to the roster. All active roster pilots also receive FSMail messages when new NOTAMS are published.
A dedicated Roster Management page has also been added to provide better oversight of pilot activity, including hours flown and incoming applications.
From Last Location filter to jobs so that only show jobs departing from your last arrival airport are shown by default.We have implemented significant improvements to how partnership payouts are calculated and distributed to ensure every penny is accounted for and payments never fail due to minor rounding discrepancies.
Previously, certain partnership balances could cause a "rounding error" during the automated payout process. If the sum of individual member shares exceeded the total available balance by even a single penny, the final payment in the sequence would fail.
We have now introduced "payout saturation" logic. This ensures that if a rounding discrepancy occurs, the system will automatically adjust the final payment to match the remaining balance in the partnership account. This guarantees that your partnership funds are always distributed fully and successfully, leaving a clean balance of zero after every payout cycle.
As part of this update, we have also performed a one-time correction for any partnerships that were affected by these rounding issues during the January 1st payout. If your company was the final member in a payout sequence that missed a few pence due to these errors, you will see a correction payment in your company ledger.
Companies now have a dedicated command center for managing their collaborative network. The new Collaboration Dashboard provides a high-level overview of how passengers are moving (or getting stuck) within your company and/or partnership.
We've introduced a new documentation page to cover the Collaboration Dashboard. You can read it here.
The dashboard highlights key performance indicators such as Delivery Rate (how effectively you are moving passengers) and Stuck Airports (bottlenecks where passengers are piling up). You can switch between viewing data for your specific company or the entire partnership to gauge overall health.
A new Flows view visualizes the movement of collaborative demand across the network, helping you identify high-traffic routes at a glance. Additionally, the Partner Share tab breaks down contributions, showing exactly how much demand and potential revenue each partner is bringing to the table.
Note: Before this update there was no mechanism to attribute the company that introduced collaborative demand into the partnership and as such all collaborative demand is assigned to the lead partner. Going forward all new collaborative demand will be correctly attributed to the correct company.
Sometimes your network can't handle the load, and passengers are left waiting too long. You now have the ability to release collaborative demand back to the public pool.
You can choose to release All Demand or specifically Urgent Demand (passengers who have been waiting past the 14-day threshold). This can be done globally from the dashboard overview or granularly for specific airports or routes via the detailed airport dialogs.
Releasing demand ensures that passengers aren't stranded indefinitely in your system if you lack the capacity to fly them, protecting your reputation (soon to be implemented) and allowing other operators to pick them up.
A new filter is available in your Pricing Strategies to help move stagnant demand.
The Waiting For Days filter allows you to apply specific pricing rules (such as aggressive discounts) to collaborative passengers who have been waiting longer than a set number of days. This helps prioritise clearing older demand from your system without manually intervening on every route.
When you pause your simulator, the Company Clock will now pause with it. This ensures you are not penalized with accumulating background costs such as agreements and loan repayments while attending to real-life interruptions during a flight.
Because the simulator does not send a direct "pause" signal to the server, the system infers a paused state if no flight telemetry (sitreps) are received for 5 minutes. Once you unpause the simulator and flight data resumes, the Company Clock automatically restarts.
You now have more granular control over your ticket pricing with new airport-type filters and the ability to temporarily pause active strategies and price-out passengers.
You can now apply strategies to passengers who have a final destination of a Heliport and price them out or incentivise them - useful for preventing passengers with hard-to-deliver endpoints from boarding your routes.
Active pricing strategies can now be paused and resumed without being deleted or ended permanently.
This is ideal for temporary promotional pauses or adjusting fleet operations without losing your complex strategy configurations. While paused, ticket prices will revert to baseline levels, and once resumed, the rules stack again immediately.
By using the new Price Out feature, you can automatically set ticket prices so high that passengers will no longer book that route. Previously strategy surcharges were capped at 100%, which would not be enough to price out passengers on low-fare routes.
