Charter hire demand no longer shows a misleading per-row payout of £0.00. Instead, you get an estimated pay shown at the top based on your rank and the expected flight time for the route. The estimate is calculated from the route distance (multipled by 1.2) and the aircraft’s cruise speed.
A new help tooltip explains the calculation and the realism factor used to account for climb, descent, and non-perfect routing.
Other improvements
Relocation for hireable aircraft is now based on your rank’s aircraft constraint radius (one consistent rule), instead of separate aircraft-level relocation settings.
Fixed an issue where switching between aircraft could leave old demand filters behind, causing incorrect or missing demand results.
Updated seats on Pilatus PC-12 from 10 to 9 and increased MTOW from 4,500kg to 4,740kg
Updated seats on Airbus A321 neo from 230 to 244 and renamed to A321neo LR
Updated OEW for Airbus A321XLR from 49,000kg to 46,600kg
Persistent Rank Approval
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.
Other Improvements
NOTAM messages now show a live character counter, so you always know how close you are to the 255-character limit
Fixed arrow key navigation being intercepted while typing in company description and message fields
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:
Release All: Releases all collaborative demand for the selected airports.
Release Urgent: Releases only demand that has exceeded the urgent threshold, leaving newer demand untouched.
Company Logos and User Avatars in Selectors
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.
Aircraft Market Listing Enhancements
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.
Smarter Hangar Storage for Company-Owned Buildings
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.
Other improvements
Fixed tables scrolling slightly within tables
Minor visual polish across aircraft listings and dashboards
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.
Small Improvements
We have removed the calculation cap (saturation) on route demand. Previously, extremely high Economy numbers could hit the calculation limit before Business or First Class passengers were counted, causing premium demand to appear as zero. This may result in slower route demand refresh.
Route demand now displays the exact passenger count for all classes rather than a capped estimate (e.g., "3.00K+").
Fix some buttons in the Operations Cockpit showing for users who did not have permission to click on them.
Prevented an issue where jobs inside draft dispatch plans were incorrectly updated or released when prerequisites were met by inbound flights, leaving the Dispatch Plan in a broken state.
When you select an aircraft for hire in the marketplace, the list of available jobs (demand) is now automatically filtered to only show contracts that are within a realistic operating range for that specific aircraft.
Previously, you might have selected a short-range aircraft only to be presented with job opportunities hundreds or thousands of nautical miles away, leading to jobs you couldn't actually complete. Now, the system automatically applies a distance filter to the job list. This filter is calculated to be 120% of the aircraft's base range, giving you a small buffer while ensuring the available jobs are sensible. If the aircraft owner has specified a manual range filter this will be applied instead of the default range filter.
Additionally, we've made it easier to see the passenger capacity of the aircraft you're about to hire. When browsing the demand for an aircraft you will now see a clear badge showing the number of First, Business, and Economy seats available on the aircraft right next to its name.
Other improvements
Removed pagination from the aircraft for hire list to allow for quicker and more comprehensive browsing of all available aircraft without needing to click through pages. All aircraft are now shown by default.
We've removed the default, non-functional marker that used to appear alongside the aircraft icon when you clicked to place a new aircraft in the world.
The map used in the aircraft-for-hire marketplace no longer attempts to automatically zoom in every time you update the results or click the Search this area button.
We have corrected a long-standing issue where Owner Salary Payments were being credited to your personal account but were not properly debited from your company's bank account (oops)!
Previously, when you received your monthly salary based on your company's profit, your personal funds increased, but the company's funds were not reduced, leading to an artificially inflated company balance.
With this fix, salary payments now correctly operate as an outgoing payment from your company to you, ensuring the company's financial records are accurate.
This change is only a correction to the ledger and does not affect the amount of salary you actually received. Your personal balance remains unchanged.
We have automatically processed a correction payment for any past salary payments to deduct the amount from your company's bank account, ensuring your company's balance is now accurate. In some rare cases, this may cause your company's balance to go negative temporarily, but it correctly reflects the true financial state.
We have lowered the purchase price for all aircraft by 10% to better align to the current economy. To ensure fairness for those who have recently invested in their fleet, we have processed automatic refunds. If you own an aircraft affected by this price adjustment, the difference between your original purchase price and the new market value has been credited back to your company bank account.
Extended Loan Terms
To support faster fleet progression and better cash flow management, we have doubled the maximum repayment period for loans. You can now secure loans with terms of up to 120 cycles (previously capped at 60). Spreading payments over a longer period reduces your recurring cycle costs, allowing you to invest in larger, more capable aircraft earlier in your career.
Smarter Demand for Hireable Aircraft
Finding the right job for a rented aircraft just got easier. When browsing demand for a hireable aircraft, the marketplace now automatically filters out passenger groups that won't fit. The system now checks the aircraft's capacity against the available groups, ensuring you only see jobs you can actually fly.
Recurring Payments & Agreement Improvements
We have improved the company finance page to give you better visibility and control of recurring payments. You can now view the total of all recurring payments and the ability to view a detailed breakdown of your recurring expenses, categorised by type.
Additionally, the Recurring Payments tab now clearly displays the specific name of the agreement that it relates to. We have also added the ability to cancel agreements directly from the Agreements page within the Operations Cockpit, saving you unnecessary navigation steps.
Other Changes
You can now generate and download CSV reports of all financial activity within a partnership.
We have removed the fee for withdrawing a pending contract application. You can now change your mind and withdraw an application without financial penalty.
Companies that are already members of an active partnership can no longer be invited to join a new one.
Fixed an issue where "Passenger Facility Fees" (Departure) were not being refunded if a job was reset after boarding.
Corrected the format for Hungarian aircraft tail numbers to adhere to the real-world 3-letter suffix standard (e.g., HA-ABC).
When hovering over demand on the map, you will now see a specific breakdown of passenger classes (First, Business, Economy).
Fixed the order of passenger class labels in the Job Overview dialog to be consistent.
The "Create New Route" screen now displays the exact nautical mile distance between the selected airports.
Added "Toggle All" controls to the Role Editor, allowing you to quickly check or uncheck entire groups of privileges and notifications.
The Rank Pay editor now calculates and displays an "Effective Hourly Rate" based on the total salary and contract hours to help you set competitive wages.
Fixed a bug where available aircraft for specific Ranks did not update immediately after modifying the Rank's constraints.
Notifications sent when a job is reset now include detailed context, including the aircraft tail number, route, job number, and airports involved.
Added specific filters to the job board to view only Charter jobs or Route jobs.
Fixed an issue where all logbook entries were incorrectly labeled as charter flights regardless of their actual type.
Fixed a bug preventing the deletion of a Rank if it had associated contracts that were already completed.
Improved the aircraft database search; you can now search across the platform by tail number, type, ICAO code, manufacturer, model, or variant.
Fixed the marketplace contract filter to correctly hide old, expired contracts.
The aircraft selector in the Route Preview dialog now displays the airport where each aircraft is currently located.
You will now see the estimated time required for jobs like "Reconfigure Seats" before confirming the work order.
Added a filter to the job marketplace to view jobs belonging to a specific partnership.
Fixed overlapping scrollbars on the Aircraft Database page.
The flight map now display a "Fuel Consumed" badge for completed flights.
Updated the Minimum Global Rank setting when listing aircraft for hire to require a value of at least 1, preventing invalid zero-rank requirements.
Fixed the arrow buttons on number input fields to ensure they respect the minimum and maximum limits, preventing you from scrolling past allowed values.
Fixed a configuration issue where Executive Group Charter passengers were still appearing on scheduled routes. These passengers are now properly restricted to charter jobs only.
