Bug Fix

Route management with Slots

We've changed how routes are enabled and managed. From now on, all routes will require an available Slot to operate. Slots are a new type of recurring agreement within the game, designed to provide a more realistic and structured approach to network management. They come in two distinct types: domestic for internal flights and international for flights crossing borders. This change means you'll need to secure the correct type of slot for each route you wish to fly.

Manual route control

In addition to the new slot system, we're giving you more direct control over your flight network. You can now manually enable or disable routes as you see fit. This allows for greater flexibility in managing your network. Disabled routes do not contribute to your route network at all, effectively behaving as if they were deleted.

Stands for airliner parking

A new type of parking agreement, Stands, is now available. These are specifically designed for airliners. Unlike General Aviation (GA) aircraft, airliners do not accrue accelerated maintenance when parked outside, making stands a more flexible parking solution for your larger aircraft. While primarily for airliners, you can also use any spare stand capacity to store your GA aircraft, protecting them from parking fees when you find yourself in a pinch.

Auto-storage for aircraft

We've introduced a new auto-storage system that intelligently manages where your aircraft are parked. The system uses a priority-based approach to automatically assign aircraft to the most suitable available space. It will prioritise hangars for aircraft that benefit most from being sheltered and then allocate remaining aircraft to stands or other available parking. This should reduce the amount of manual shuffling required to keep your fleet organised and maintained.

Company clock visualisation

To help you better understand the activity of your business, we've added a new company clock visualisation. This feature provides a heatmap of your company's operational hours, showing you at a glance when your fleet is most active and when it's idle. You can use this information to identify patterns and make more informed decisions about your company's operations.

Other Fixes & Improvements

• A bug that sometimes prevented aircraft from loading on the flight map has been resolved.
• The user interface for capabilities has been updated with a stacked progress bar, offering a clearer view of your usage and reservations.
• You will now receive notifications for any issues related to aircraft parking and a lack of available storage space.
• General Aviation aircraft will now be subject to idle wear and tear when stored outside of a hangar.
• For easier management, all recurring payments have been consolidated and are now processed through the company clock.

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.

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.

Improved

• Aircraft are now automatically removed from hangars when sold to the broker (or when classified is purchased by another user)

Fixed

• Fix Public pricing page
• Fixed issue with aircraft missing from list in Operations Cockpit
• Fixed a bug where building owners could be charged when using their own public buildings; owners are now always exempt.
• Fixed an exploit allowing companies to send payments to themselves; these are now blocked.
• Cleaned up historic erroneous self-payments and corrected affected account balances.
• Fixed long table values not truncating properly (e.g. in finance view). They now display with improved tooltips.
• Fixed airport search dialog showing a blank screen.

Job resets behave correctly with onward charters

Resetting a job now keeps affected passenger groups correctly reserved when a follow-on leg already exists (for example, when an FBO auto-creates a final-leg charter after a route leg). This prevents rare re-accept errors and duplicate “first legs” from appearing.

Smoother hand-offs to final-leg charters

Accepting jobs now has better awareness of departure/arrival airports on collaborative and follow-on legs, improving how onward opportunities are created and displayed.

Improvements

• Increased reliability when repeatedly accepting and resetting the same route without losing or duplicating passenger legs.
• Better consistency when FBOs auto-generate final-leg charters from a route.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where resetting a job could incorrectly release a passenger group back to public demand, which then caused errors on re-accept.
• Fixed a case that could make the system think a previously routed group was brand-new, leading to duplicate first legs.

Fixes:

• Resolved an issue where the Accept Asset Transfers option in Company Settings could not be saved. This bug was preventing company mergers from being completed. You can now enable or disable asset transfers correctly, and mergers will proceed as expected.
