Pilots can now withdraw their own pending contract applications. If the company has enabled withdrawals, an optional cancellation fee is shown up front. Free withdrawals are supported when the fee is set to £0. Companies can also disable withdrawals entirely.

Applications now display a live “Expires in …” badge while they’re pending. If a company doesn’t act in time, the application is automatically rejected after the timeout window (default 7 days). No withdrawal fee is charged for these automatic expiries, and you’ll receive an in-app mail letting you know.

For extra transparency, the Marketplace and company contract type lists now clearly show whether withdrawals are allowed and, if so, the fee you’d pay for backing out before approval.

Personalize Your Fleet with Custom Aircraft Images

You can now upload custom images for each aircraft in your fleet. From the Aircraft Dialog, you'll find a new option to upload an image, which will then appear across the platform in the Operations Cockpit, on maps, and in tooltips. To help manage this, a new Change Aircraft Settings privilege has been added to company roles. As a bonus, when you list an aircraft on the classifieds, its custom image will automatically be used for the sale listing.

Learn the Ropes with On-Screen Tours

To help new players get started we are introducing interactive on-screen tours. These step-by-step guides will walk you through key interfaces and features directly within the application. Tours can be reset at any time from your settings page.


Other Changes

Improved:

  • Optimized the loading performance of the Job Constraints and Available Aircraft tabs in the Operations Cockpit, making the interface feel faster and more responsive.
  • When an aircraft with outstanding finance is migrated from V1, the system now refunds the amount invested to the company bank account and the aircraft is not transferred.
  • There is now an option to re-send the password reset email when migrating from V1.

Fixed:

  • You can no longer start aircraft servicing (either manually or automatically) if the aircraft is assigned to an active job.
  • It is no longer possible to create a ferry job for an aircraft that is currently undergoing maintenance.
  • The progress bar on the Active Flight widget now correctly displays the flight's progress.
  • The Available status filter option on the Flight Board has now been removed.
  • Fixed an issue where it was possible to attempt to terminate a contract that had already been completed.

Route numbers now support an optional letter suffix

Route numbers can now include a trailing letter, letting you publish variants like 101A/101B for split operations or time-of-day pairs.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where route numbers could not be renamed.
  • Fixed an availability check edge case where numbers with letter suffixes could be misdetected on the client side, ensuring accurate “already in use” validation before save.

Premium Core users and companies now have access to a suite of customisation options to fine-tune their Simbrief outputs from FSCharter.

Custom Airframe Mapping & Weights

Customise passenger and baggage weights for Simbrief and map your FSCharter aircraft to SimBrief airframes using either the tail number or aircraft type. Mappings and weights are automatically applied when generating a Simbrief dispatch.



Company Airline Code

Companies can now configure a custom airline code that overrides the default ICAO when generating SimBrief flight plans. This makes flight numbers and callsigns match your organization's branding.

Active Job Widget

Quickly access your current flight with the Active Job widget in the sidebar. It shows your job progress, aircraft, and route at a glance, and gives one-click access to SimBrief, job details, or leg tracking - all without navigating away from your current screen.

Improvements

  • SimBrief links now open with improved URLs that incorporate custom preferences and company branding when available

Fixes

  • Removed the outdated "My Jobs" section from the sidebar navigation
  • Improved error handling when opening SimBrief without an active job leg

The payment view now supports advanced filtering options to help users narrow down and analyze transactions more effectively.

New filters include:

  • Amount range: Filter payments by minimum and maximum value.
  • Company and user filters: Filter by source or destination companies and users
  • Date range: Select specific periods using a multi-month calendar interface.

These filters integrate with the existing system and provide a more flexible way to review and report on payments.

We're introducing a smarter way to understand your company's financials. Every payment your company makes or receives is now automatically categorized into one of 14 distinct types — including Fuel, Aircraft, Building, Payroll, Income, and Borrowing. These new categories appear directly in your finance dashboard, enhancing clarity and making financial analysis easier than ever.

Payments are visually labeled with color-coded category badges that help you quickly scan and understand the nature of each transaction. You can also filter transactions by category, making it easier to isolate specific types of expenses or revenue streams.

We've also retroactively applied this categorization to all historical transactions using intelligent classification logic, ensuring consistency across your records.

Finally, when exporting payment records, category information is now included in your CSV exports for offline analysis and accounting integration.

This change is fully backward compatible but provides immediate improvements in financial visibility, tracking, and reporting.

Sep 05, 2025

Export a clean, audit-ready ledger of every company payment in a single click from Company → Settings → Data Export. The CSV includes payment ID, timestamp, description, amount, direction, source account, destination account, and your post-transaction balance; an extra Context (JSON) column appears when you enable context.

Access is controlled via a new Export Company Payments privilege. Accountant roles get this automatically; others will need it granted by an admin. If you don’t have the privilege, the export option won’t appear.

Small UI improvement: the Data Export panel now groups both Logbook and Payments exports in one place.

Sep 04, 2025

We've introduced a centralised Settings tab on your profile that brings your settings and account management into one place.

From this tab you can change your name, avatar, email address, banking and weight units and delete your account.

Sep 04, 2025

Operations Managers can export the company flight logbook as a CSV from Company → Settings → Data Export for VATSIM audits.

Pick a date or range and download an audit-ready report in one click. The export includes the core flight details VATSIM expects and only lists completed flights. Downloaded files are named with your company ICAO and the selected date range for easy filing.

Sep 03, 2025

We've added a live flight map that allows you to view all active FSCharter flights in one place. Think of it as a map-based version of the existing Flight Board.

Interactive aircraft tooltips

Hover over an aircraft to reveal rich context pulled straight from the active leg, such as the route, pilot, company, and live aircraft metrics. Click to open the flight for deeper details.

Flight trail visualization

Toggle a flight’s recent path to understand where it’s coming from, where it's going, and how it’s climbing or descending. Trails are color-coded by altitude progression to make vertical profile changes obvious.

Press t to toggle the trail on/off.
Press z to enable the trail and auto-zoom the map to fit it.

Aug 30, 2025

Parking fees now include a grace period to make short turnarounds free. The first 20 minutes of tarmac time in each charge window are not billed. A charge window runs from the last time parking fees were taken (or your last completed job) up to your next boarding. The timer only counts while your company clock is running. After you’re charged, a new window starts.

Marking an aircraft as sold now removes it from your Assets list and fleet totals right away. This keeps your inventory and valuations accurate the moment ownership changes.

Fixes

  • Sold aircraft incorrectly remained visible in Assets after sale; this has been corrected.
