Feature

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.

Releasing Collaborative Demand

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.

Targeting Stuck Passengers

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.

Other Changes

• Collaborative demand originally created by your company is now tracked and returned to your internal audience if you leave a partnership.

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+").

• Fixed a bug that would prevent filtering hireable aircraft by number of seats
• Added separate first, business and econony seat number filters for hireable aircraft
• Restricted the maximum seat number to 20 for all hireable aircraft seat filters

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.

Airport Size Filters

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.

Strategy Pausing

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.

Price Out Passengers

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.

Other Changes

• Improved route demand logic to ensure passengers on connecting journeys are correctly identified for "Last Leg" pricing rules.
• Fixed an issue in the Strategy Preview dialog where switching between aircraft types would occasionally fail to update projected demand.
• Enhanced the active strategies display to show surcharges more clearly (instead of negative discounts), preventing confusion.

You can now send FSMail messages directly to other players (P2P) or to the staff of another company (P2C) using a new dedicated compose interface. This long-requested feature makes it easy to open a dialogue for partnerships, sales, or general conversation - all without leaving the FSCharter platform.

To start a new message, simply head to the FSMail page and use the new Compose button to open the messaging panel.



Sending to a Company (P2C)

When sending to a company, your message will only be delivered to staff members who have the Receive Company FSMail privilege. This is enabled by default for the Owner and Operations Manager roles to prevent unsolicited messages from reaching everyone in your company.

Replying to Messages

You can now quickly reply to any FSMail message using the new Reply button in the message display panel. This pre-fills the sender and quotes the original message body, making conversation simple.

Improved Airport Finder with Map and Preview

The airport selection dialog has been overhauled to significantly enhance your search and planning experience.

Integrated Map View

A new map view is now available alongside the searchable airport list. This allows you to visually explore the available airports and interactively select a potential destination.

Quick Preview and Selection

Hovering over an airport on the map and pressing i on your keyboard or clicking the i button on the table row brings up a dedicated preview panel to show detailed airport information, including the available runways. Alternatively clicking on the airport on the map or the table row will immediately select it.

Other improvements

• Appropriate protections are now in place to prevent incompatible images being uploaded for logos or avatars.
• Fixed a bug that prevented free users from refreshing route demand.
• You can now correctly unboard an aircraft even if it has been re-boarded during a stopover.
• When filtering demand by a radius around an airport, the system will now automatically cap your requested radius to the maximum permitted value instead of throwing an error.
• Fixed a bug where viewing certain demand when configuring aircraft-for-hire jobs would return no demand.

Aircraft Price Reductions

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.

Companies can now hire out GA aircraft directly to pilots to configure their own charter jobs.

Whether you are a freelance pilot looking to earn quick cash or a contracted pilot wanting to self-dispatch a GA aircraft from your airline's fleet, the new Charter Aircraft for Hire tab in the Job Marketplace gives you the freedom to build your own flights based on the same global demand that company managers use to build Dispatch Plans and Routes.

Once you select an aircraft, you have control over the manifest. You can choose which passenger groups to load and visualise how they fill the aircraft. From here, you can accept the job in one click and start flying!

Hiring Controls for Airlines

Airline managers can now put their idle GA fleet to work by making aircraft available for hire.

You retain operational control by setting specific restrictions. You can limit your aircraft to specific countries, enforce a maximum distance from a base airport, and/or apply any demand filter. For example, you can restrict demand to "Last Leg" only (perfect for making sure you unlock revenue) or "Can Traverse Routes" (great for funneling passengers into your route network).

You can read more about Aircraft Hiring for companies and pilots in the documentation.

Other improvements

• Added Is Last Leg demand filter

We have introduced a new Allowed on Routes filter to the demand search options.

When enabled, this filter automatically hides specialised demand types that are incompatible with standard scheduled operations.

Note that you may need to clear your cache from the ... More menu in the bottom left of the screen before the filter shows.

You can now move money freely between companies and players. All four transfer types are supported:

• B2B (company → company)
• B2P (company → player)
• P2P (player → player)
• P2B (player → company)

This replaces the old "Inject Funds" mechanic. Any player can now send money from their personal bank account into a company without needing a special privilege.

Company transfers follow stricter rules. A company can only send out up to its current month’s profit, and never more than its actual bank balance. Transfers count as Manual Transfer expenses, so sending money out immediately lowers the profit figure for that month. Loans don’t affect this limit; companies can’t use loan income to increase how much they’re allowed to transfer.

Personal transfers have no profit limit. You can move any amount up to your personal balance, whether paying another player directly or supporting a company.

To control company-originated transfers, a new Transfer Funds privilege has been added. It determines who can initiate B2B and B2P transfers and replaces the removed Inject Funds privilege.

Can Traverse Routes Filter

A new Can Traverse Routes filter is now available in the demand view. This filter lets you limit demand to only the destinations your network can actually reach from a chosen drop-off airport.

When you select a drop-off airport, the demand view automatically shows only the passenger groups whose final destination can be reached through your current route network (including up to three hops and any Passenger Services coverage you’ve built).

This helps you choose which demand to take on charters, eliminating the manual review of your network and helps answer the question "If I drop off these passengers, can they even be delivered?".

Other improvements

• Airport filter component now hides the “add airport” button when a filter only supports a single airport selection.

You can now apply new filters to the Demand lens, allowing you to quickly find passengers willing to fly to or from specific types of airports.

This new filtering capability is especially useful for companies operating specialized fleets. For example, you can easily filter for demand groups that originate at Heliports or those that are only flying into Small Airports.

The available filter options cover four main airport categories:

• Heliport
• Small Airport
• Medium Airport
• Large Airport

Other improvements

• Fixed a bug that resulted in incorrect route pricing for some demand with specific pricing strategies.

🏦 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.

Other improvements

• Fixed an issue on the V1 migration screen where the Next button could not be clicked.
• Fixed a bug that caused the browser tab to freeze or crash when editing number fields, such as the Simbrief passenger weight.
• The Finances tab within a partnership's detail page is now scrollable.
• Updated the Discord button and added new badges for supported platforms (MSFS, X-Plane, etc.) to the landing page.
