Loans Rebalanced, Company Rebranding, and Economy Fixes
🏦 Loan System Overhaul
We have completed a major overhaul of the company loan system. We discovered a bug in our interest calculations that made loans significantly more expensive than intended. This has been corrected. All loans now use a clearer Annual Percentage Rate (APR) model, and interest rates have been significantly reduced across the board.
We've also introduced new "Standard Growth Loan" tiers to help you expand your company at different stages of your career.
Most importantly, we have run a script to rebalance all existing loans. If you have an active loan, its interest rate has been lowered to match the new, cheaper APR rates, and your remaining payments have been recalculated. You don't need to do anything; your loan is now cheaper.
✏️ Company Name & ICAO Updates
You now have the ability to update your company's name and ICAO code. In your company preferences, you'll find the new fields after clicking on the Edit button next to your company details.
This allows you to rebrand your company or fix typos you made during setup.
✈️ Aircraft & Economy Updates
We've continued to refine the economy by slightly reducing the prices for many aircraft in the database. We also updated seating and payload statistics for several airframes to be more accurate.
Additionally, we've added a Request a new aircraft button directly to the aircraft database page, linking you to the official request form.
💺 Critical Charter Job Fix
We fixed a critical bug in the seat assignment logic for charter jobs. Previously, the system that checked passenger seating has a bug that allowed you to accept a job with an aircraft that was actually too small.
The logic now correctly handles upgrades for charter jobs where Business passengers fill empty First Class seats before Economy passengers do. This ensures that an aircraft is only marked as valid if it truly has enough seats for all passengers after all upgrades are processed.
🛫 Improved Slot Validation
We've improved slot validation for aircraft jobs. The Available Aircraft screen will no longer show an aircraft as valid if it doesn't have a required departure slot. The diagnostic view is also clearer, showing separate checks for departure and arrival slots.
