Used-aircraft listings now reject invalid vintage combinations, and Fleet type filters stay in the right place.
Route planning and globe inspection now give you clearer control over the flights your airline operates. Flight levels, route details, seasonal drafts, and assigned-aircraft views are easier to follow, while planning stays smoother as your network grows.

Competitor airlines now review your complete schedule and wider market demand when making strategic decisions.
Competitor planning now accounts for route roles, seasonal patterns, fleet needs, aircraft financing, secondary hubs, connecting passengers, and emergency or quarterly reviews.
Auto Schedule no longer breaks existing aircraft rotations or rebuilds ferry legs incorrectly.
Auto Schedule no longer splits or partially assigns service chains, or turns them into ferry work when a complete assignment is unavailable.
Maintenance recovery no longer causes cascading cancellations or loses substitute-aircraft continuity.
Service chains now keep their selected aircraft type while you plan onward legs.
Aircraft from incompatible operating bases no longer appear as options for chained services.
Fleet Dispatch now treats linked flights as one complete service chain.
Route Performance now shows a service chain as one route instead of separate legs.
Base and network planning no longer lose airport preferences, route scope, service-chain state, or globe interactions.
Fleet and Crew base controls now show the correct panels, standby dates, and workstations.
Airport curfews are now respected by competitor schedules and connection planning.
Older saves now keep their history and competitor information after airport-curfew updates.

Aircraft purchases now include a dedicated cabin-design step before negotiation.
Returning to an earlier step in an aircraft purchase no longer loses your negotiation progress.
Manufacturer backlog status remains readable when the game receives an unfamiliar trend.
Auto Schedule now gives you more control over how tightly your fleet is planned while keeping legal turnaround and existing flight and slot times intact. You can protect important rotation blocks, choose between three scheduling modes, and let maintenance coverage cascade through compatible aircraft when needed. Fleet controls are clearer, and next day assignments are more reliable.
Maintenance planning can now keep difficult to replace rotations flying when an aircraft enters maintenance. If the best substitute is already assigned to an easier route, Skyline can move that route to another compatible aircraft too. The full reassignment is applied only when every affected flight remains feasible.
Auto Schedule now offers Efficient, Balanced, and Reliable modes. Every mode keeps the legal turnaround minimum and leaves flight and slot times unchanged. Balanced and Reliable prefer extra ground time when those fixed times allow it, reporting tighter turns instead of retiming or cancelling flights for buffer reasons.
Rotation blocks can be locked so Auto Schedule fills only the open gaps around the schedule you chose to preserve.
Fleet dispatch and rotation controls now use a clearer hierarchy and streamlined presentation, making it easier to review what Auto Schedule will change.
Auto Schedule now starts from the correct next day aircraft position, avoiding invalid assignments at day boundaries.
Auto Schedule controls now have a flatter, cleaner presentation, with the borderless action and glass dropdown restored.
Fleet planning now shows the maintenance reserve requirement, making it easier to understand how many standby aircraft your schedule needs. Recurring rotations now stay stable when autoscheduling, keeping planned repeat patterns intact.
Fleet planning now shows the maintenance reserve requirement, making standby needs clearer.
Recurring rotations now stay stable when autoscheduling.

Route service summaries now show daily seat capacity and load factor.
Legacy AI saves now accept valid migration gaps correctly.
Inactive sponsorship links no longer appear underlined.
Pressing F8 during airline founding now opens bug reporting as expected.
A finance fix so aircraft bought before your first published flight stay paid for, instead of coming back as phantom income at the month close. Every new game now starts with a stocked used aircraft market, and long running saves load faster on less memory.
Aircraft bought before your first published flight now stay paid for. The purchase could be handed back at the month close and show up again as positive income, so time skipping players ended up with aircraft they never paid for.
Every new game now starts with a stocked used aircraft market.
Long running saves load faster and use less memory: the rival carrier world and the used aircraft listings it keeps are now bounded as a save matures.
Rival carriers and world traffic now run on a single authoritative simulation core, so every screen that shows a competitor reads the same world. The union gained a voice in the Executive Inbox, the globe can show worldwide airborne traffic, and rotations, turns, charters and auto scheduling were all corrected to resolve on the same reference time.
Rival carriers and world traffic run on one authoritative simulation core. Competitor fleets, schedules, planning and daily operations resolve in a single shared world, and every view that shows them reads from it: fare previews, operating and connection forecasts, base planning, the opportunity feed, airport movements, carrier intelligence, brand systems, flight economics and the live traffic atlas.
The union now has a voice in the Executive Inbox. Union demands and strike notices arrive as letters, and the bargaining sheet opens straight from the demand letter so you can answer terms in place.
Worldwide airborne traffic: a new setting toggles airborne aircraft icons for the whole world on the globe, and your choice is remembered between sessions.
The network planner keeps demand numbers on screen while it recalculates instead of blanking them, and connection forecasts show a clear pending state while they refresh.
Union contracts moved out of the Crew Contracts department and into the Executive Inbox, with standing terms re-homed alongside the rest of crew.
Campaign copy no longer uses sports club language, and the misleading Launch campaign buttons were renamed to match what they actually do.
Rotations, turn validation, charter assignment and auto scheduling all read the same reference time, so aircraft chains order correctly and legs are placed at the times you scheduled them.
Charters consume rotation rings on reference time, fixing assignments that could land against the wrong cycle.
Rotation cycle times are projected on the reference clock, so turn checks no longer reject valid schedules near day boundaries.
Publishing a route no longer triggers an unbounded demand refresh, so large networks stay responsive.
Aircraft keep their correct identity on the globe instead of occasionally swapping between tails.
Founder traits you picked during founding are now actually applied.
Toggling worldwide traffic no longer stalls the globe.
The simulation worker acknowledges its core before loading, fixing a startup race.
A packaging fix for the simulation core, so shipped builds are produced reliably.
Airport search makes it quicker to find services in Routes. Existing services now open directly in detail views, while planning uses authoritative competitor route data and legacy AI saves clearly explain their compatibility status.
Added airport search to the Routes screen, making it quicker to find services by airport.
Existing services now open directly in their route detail view from both the Routes screen and the network planner.
Competitor routes in network planning now use the authoritative simulation data.
Legacy AI saves now show a clear compatibility warning from the main menu.
Optimized rotation assignments now take effect at the next operating-day boundary, keeping the active operating window coherent. This prevents partial-day tail reassignments when a schedule is optimized.
Optimized rotation assignments now activate at the next operating-day boundary, keeping the current operating window coherent.
AI carrier cash balances now stay aligned with their authoritative finance books when restoring saves across the Rust simulation cutover. This prevents stale balances from resurfacing during lifecycle processing and keeps AI-world finance consistent.
AI carrier cash balances now stay aligned when restoring saves across the Rust simulation cutover, preventing finance drift during lifecycle processing.
Planning now shows the connecting traffic a route will actually carry, projected across a whole schedule window. The planner and the live simulation share one connection source domain, so the passenger numbers you plan against are the numbers you fly. Overnight and date line routes, retained season rotations, and the nested choice model were all corrected.
Route connection forecasts: planning projects connecting flows across a whole schedule window and folds them into a single period view, so a route's connecting traffic is visible before you commit it.
IDR (Indonesian rupiah) is available as a display currency.
Planning and the live simulation now share one deterministic connection source domain, so the passenger numbers you plan against are the numbers you fly.
Planning shows a single canonical boarding forecast, with whole passenger counts and carried demand broken out by source.
The Connections card on the network plan is compressed to the numbers that matter instead of prose.
Fleet rotation assignment impacts and sponsorship brand defence rows now say what actually changes and what the spend buys.
Retained routes keep their rotation assignments across a season boundary, instead of losing their aircraft when the planning window opens.
Overnight and date line routes settle correctly in planning. Returns, schedule probes, and candidate edges no longer drift across the day boundary.
Passenger totals are conserved end to end: settled boardings, commercial drivers, and accepted cabin counts now reconcile exactly.
The nested choice model uses the correct no fly anchor and utility scale, correcting fare and share behaviour on competitive routes.
Aircraft are classed as widebody by fuselage rather than seat count, and the configurator lets airframes reach their certified seat capacity.
The almanac finds airports by the country name players actually type.
Planning a check now starts from the rotation it interrupts. The coverage planner opens fullscreen, groups every block by the rotation line it belongs to, and commits a batch all or nothing so a plan is never half applied. Ferries, the unassigned queue, and crew sizing also got honest.
The maintenance coverage planner opens fullscreen and groups coverage blocks by the rotation line they belong to, so you can see which aircraft a check actually takes off the schedule before you commit it.
Bulk coverage assignment is all or nothing. A batch either covers every check you selected or leaves the plan exactly as it was, so you never end up with half a maintenance plan.
The maintenance timeline now spans a two week range, so a check and the rotation around it fit on screen together.
Coverage feasibility is computed once behind a shared index rather than per row, so opening and filtering the maintenance planner stays responsive on a full fleet.
Aircraft no longer ferry into a leg they cannot actually reach, so a repositioning flight stops being scheduled only to strand the tail at the far end.
The unassigned fleet queue now leads with the base station, so the aircraft waiting at your own hub are the first ones you see.
The route planner and the Recruit desk size crew the same way. The two screens no longer disagree about how many crew a route needs.
The route planner now tells you the truth about a route before you fly it: the seats actually fitted to your aircraft, who is connecting and who is local, and the size of the market rather than what one aeroplane could carry. Assigning a rotation no longer freezes the game, and a standby aircraft finds its own way home.
Assigning or optimizing a rotation no longer freezes the game. Assignment now refreshes only the current day and lets each later day settle at its own open, instead of rebuilding the whole month's demand inside the click.
The route planner no longer counts connecting passengers twice. Travellers connecting over your hub take seats on the leg but belong to their own markets, so the point to point demand they cannot displace stays on the table. Both kinds of passenger still fill the plane and still pay, and the service card names them on their own line.
The route planner sizes a route on the cabin actually fitted to your aircraft, not the manufacturer's typical layout. A refitted 757 no longer promises seats it does not have, and retired tails no longer shape the estimate.
The demand chips on the globe headline the market itself, passengers a day who want to fly hub to city, rather than what one of your aircraft could carry. What your own rotation would board is on hover as a YOU CARRY row.
A maintenance standby aircraft left at another station now ferries itself home at day open, so the reserve pool no longer drains across the network one takeover at a time.
Saving a fare no longer freezes the game: the forward projection moves off the click and into the background. On the money side, an aircraft's balance is now booked by the delivery itself, so it stops disappearing at month close and stops billing for orders that were cancelled.
Saving a fare no longer freezes the game. The forward projection now runs in the background and serves the last resolved snapshot while it recalculates, instead of re-simulating the whole network inside the click.
The apply result now sits at the top of the pricing tab and says when the projection is recalculating, so a save is visible even though the suggestion banner disappears.
A cash purchase now pays its balance on the delivery day itself. The charge no longer vanishes at month close, or after a save and reload taken on the delivery day.
Cancelling a pending order no longer leaves you paying the balance on an airframe that never arrived.
Used-aircraft offers quoted as a deposit on signature are no longer blocked as unaffordable against the full price.
The board hands back the fleet. Aircraft orders are no longer something the boardroom can block, and every surface that advertised that power now reads the same way.
The board no longer has a say over aircraft orders. A hostile board can no longer veto an order, and a cratered board asks for cost cuts instead of freezing capex it could not enforce.
The Governance powers strip, the house rules, the dial legend and the manual's governance article all drop their aircraft-order lines to match.
A cleanup pass over the aircraft deal room and the inbox. Every negotiation room now behaves the same way whether you are buying new, buying used or leasing, acquisition programmes can be cancelled outright, and the grounded roster arrives as one letter instead of a pile of them.
The deal room speaks one language. Every negotiation room, new, used and lease alike, now behaves the same way: accepting a deal plays as a proper move rather than a button off to the side, a counteroffer is answered the same two ways everywhere, the price is a text box as well as a stepper so you can type the number instead of clicking to it, and the whole room has moved onto the acquisition programme look. The term sheet drops its value ledger.
Cancel an acquisition programme. A programme you no longer want can be cancelled outright, not just paused and resumed.
One recency letter for the grounded roster. Aircraft waiting on recency checks now arrive as a single inbox letter covering the whole grounded fleet, instead of one letter each.
Skip ahead names its destination. The console tells you the date it is skipping to before you commit to it.
The founding positioning step now commits the options it does not offer you, so your archetype is locked in consistently from the start.
The metric bar no longer carries an inbox indicator.
The recency letter now closes in whichever room the checks were actually booked.
Firming a slot option no longer wrongly awards the First Purchase achievement.
The biggest single drop since the playtest opened, covering the whole 0.6 line. Four new systems arrived: sponsorships, charter flying, the aircraft deal room and the executive inbox. Two screens were rebuilt from nothing, Routes and Brand, the loyalty programme got a proper launch, and the season boundary stopped asking you to re-file work you had already done.
Sponsorships. Marketing spend is no longer a slider. The world is populated with real things to sponsor: football clubs and leagues, stadiums and arenas, motorsport, marathons, winter sport, film and music festivals, cultural institutions, business forums, tourism boards and airports. Each has its own audience, prestige, home city and the countries its name travels to, its own hand-built name drawn from the vocabulary of the place it belongs to, a founding year, and a crest it draws itself. Filter by kind or by the strategic cut you care about: best fit, what you can afford, what moves awareness most, whose contracts are about to expire, or what nobody currently holds.
Sponsorship negotiation is a term sheet with nine levers, not a price: retainer, signing payment, performance bonus, rights, exclusivity, advertising, hospitality, campaigns promised, term length and a renewal option. What a term is worth to them and what it costs you deliberately differ, which is how a small airline can win a partner it cannot outbid. They counter, and their reply names what they moved. What you buy is a rights package rather than the property itself, and naming rights actually put your carrier's name on it.
Signing a partner buys a baseline. Working the deal is where the value is. Nine campaigns are available on any partnership: event advertising, a special livery, a ticket promotion, a hospitality package, charter flights, a social campaign, a frequent flyer promotion, employee participation and a route launch tie-in. Each costs real money on top of the retainer, each buys back a share of what the partner can do, and returns diminish, so the question is which three or four fit. Ticket promotions cut real fares in the markets the partner cares about, and frequent flyer promotions actually grow the programme.
Every sponsorship carries at least one obligation you cannot switch off, shown at the table before you sign. Break enough of them and the partnership goes under review, and leave a review unresolved and they end it themselves. Terminations and scandals leave a permanent trace on the contract. Each partnership opens on an overview answering four questions separately: what the partner is still worth, what you have broken and what the next broken commitment costs, how much of what you bought you are using, and what your awareness in their region would be without the deal. Properties can also approach you unprompted, and not taking the call is remembered.
Charter flights are real flying. A sporting partner throws off a fixture list for the season, and accepting one authors an actual dated flight in your timetable with the slots it needs at both ends. A charter is a round trip, not a leg, and the return never leaves before the party does. It holds slots, binds crew, gets recovered when a tail goes to maintenance, and settles through the same ledger as everything else. Assigning an aircraft lists your fleet, says which tails can take the flight and why the others cannot, and positions the aircraft with ferries. A busy tail is quoted with its price on the row rather than simply refused. Declining ahead of time is cheap. Saying yes and having nothing on it by the day is a miss, and a strike.
The aircraft deal room. Buying aircraft is a conversation, not a form with a price in it. The negotiate step opens a room: a named person from the manufacturer, the line they just said, what you notice while they say it, where they stand against your last package, and at most four things you could say next. Who is across the table is different every campaign and it matters. Seniority, patience, ego, honesty, flexibility and how much they can sign without asking anyone all vary, and you are never shown those as numbers. You get their face, their words and their tells, and working out what sort of person you are dealing with is the skill the room is testing.
The deal room's sheet is thirteen terms in four groups. Money is price per aircraft, deposit and cancellation fee. The order is quantity, delivery flexibility and production priority. Support is training credits, maintenance credits, simulator packages and spare engines. Cover is free options, warranty extension and cabin customization. Nothing crosses the table until you send it as one proposal. Leverage is a hand of cards dealt from your actual position, and playing one you cannot back gets called out loud and costs you standing. Standing is how they see you, stated as a real percentage off their price; pressure is how close this is to breaking down, counted against that person's own patience. They remember you between campaigns.
The executive inbox. Correspondence is a place, not a receipt queue. A mail desk with a mail-client left rail, sender addresses, letters that start at the left edge the way mail actually reads, and a signature with a face. The dock says how many letters are waiting, and a letter announces itself without stopping the clock. Letters carry references rather than copies, so a letter about a thing always reflects the thing as it is now, they can enclose a document you sign, and answering one can take you where the decision lives. Mail expires on the same day whether you watch the days pass or skip them.
Who writes to you: the regulator, with findings that carry their own appeal clock and again when the AOC is issued; the manufacturer about an invitation; the board, the crew market and the contracts desk; flight operations when a pilot falls out of recency; sponsorship partners across seven separate domains; and the airports, with opening, relocation and rename notices, advance warning of Level 3 slot coordination promotions, a closure decision thread with an in-letter transfer, and a closure-day transfer manifest.
Authority decisions moved into the mail. The mailbox signs AOC decisions, and the decision document moved out of the certification screen and into a letter. The Authority screen keeps progress, gives up decisions, and retires entirely once the certificate is issued. Skipping time now stops on documents awaiting signature, so a certification stage cannot quietly pass you by while you fast forward, and documents you leave unsigned return to the screen.
Zero-touch season continuation. Rolling a season forward no longer means re-filing work you already did. Continuation clones are born published, retained routes are filed automatically at window-open, rotation lines carry at window-open rather than at season start, and slot offers that are exact continuations of what you already held auto-accept on allocation day. Carried rotations are rebuilt onto the fleet the new season will actually have, so a tail that left no longer takes its whole rotation with it and a new delivery does not sit idle, while lines you locked survive untouched. The publish surfaces count new routes only, because a carried schedule is already live.
The Routes workstation. A new Routes board holds your whole route roster in one place, with hub, distance and haul band alongside performance, and real filtering and sorting. It builds without the globe, so opening it is instant. A CHARTERS view sits alongside routes, and the performance rail gets a CHARTERS ledger. The old Scheduling workstation is gone; everything it did lives here or in the planner.
Loyalty, rebuilt. Launching a frequent flyer programme is a full-screen wizard rather than a panel: stage rail, live dossier, identity stage, tier ladder, economics, co-brand terms, membership card designer, and a review stage that ends in a welcome-kit ceremony. The card you design is the card members carry, the tiers station is staged as the card ladder scene, and before launch the desk is a full-bleed hero rather than an empty table. The Loyalty tab is now the programmes desk, and sponsor miles promotions surface on it.
The lounge section of the Loyalty tab is a full-bleed 3D stage, with the room standing on a studio set rather than a photo bleed.
A rebuilt Brand screen. The Identity tab is the studio home, and the Marketing tab was rebuilt in the Identity dialect, keeps the bill, and hands the market to the sponsorship desk. Brand standing only stands in the markets you fly.
Order a ferry yourself. Plan a positioning flight from the fleet hub, see it on the rotation timeline, and put a tail where you need it without waiting for the scheduler to work it out.
Fleet and rotations. The rotation timeline is player-oriented, with a dated picker, a day pulse, and it opens at today. A line warns you when its next departure is not where the tail actually is, line edits re-materialize the live window immediately, a line is graded as the weeks it actually flies, and one rule now governs bridging a line's position gaps so a bridge that cannot be flown is not offered as one. The scheduler says an aircraft is reserved before you try to assign it, and a named aircraft reads by its name rather than its registration.
Maintenance shows one programme at a time. Heavy checks position at coverage-block granularity, ferry toward reachable blocks and around curfews, and report positioning failures honestly instead of blaming hangar capacity. An ETOPS requirement no longer blocks airframes that are exempt from it, and the 757 and the 767 share one type rating as they do in reality.
Orders and finance. Used aircraft honour the deposit and handover the room actually agreed, and the deal ledger reconciles against that deposit rather than a catalogue figure. Financing sizes to the balance the order left owing rather than the list price, the funding desk quotes the deposit schedule it will actually bill, EETC notes are sized to what the deposit left owing, and a PDP preview lets you see the pre-delivery payment shape before committing. The corporate section is gone from Finance.
The cabin. Cabin reconfigurations ground the tail in the months you booked, the default layout certifies and fills the tube, preset rows quote the layout they will actually build, and a tube can be filled with more floor than its seats can balance.
Route planning. Rival departures appear on the planner's own clock, so you can see what you are flying against at the time you are proposing to fly. The demand pattern rules the average and is priced accordingly, planning predicts demand through the same model the simulation runs, plan P&L prices through the revenue-management fare ladder to match realized yield, season projection months are priced against their own season's published schedule, and operating days moved to the Schedule step where they belong.
Crew. Type-rating pool depth makes common types easier to hire than rare ones, you can search the roster by rating, rank, base and status rather than just name, and the Overview roster is sectioned by crew type. Flight operations writes to you when a pilot falls out of recency, a one-date charter is no longer treated as weekly flying when sizing crew, and the globe camera stops flying to the hub when you open the crew screen.
Airports. Opening, relocation and rename notices arrive as letters, with advance notice of Level 3 slot coordination promotions so a promotion is not a surprise, a closure decision thread with an in-letter transfer, a closure-day transfer manifest with a same-day gated reconcile, and a capped player migration log with pre-move counts so you can see what you had at an airport before it went. Rival closure move dates are clamped to the successor's opening date, and an emergent airport no longer tries to inherit from a predecessor it never had.
Performance. The open analyze dossier no longer stalls the simulation on every day boundary, charters stopped re-walking the world on every tick, the charter staging chain caches the slot ledgers it used to rebuild per tail per pass, charter lines are graded once rather than once per line, armed fleet targets stop re-grading on every fleet-data identity churn, the network-map worker receives slice deltas rather than full snapshots, sponsor holder candidates are indexed rather than scanned, connection forecasts are scoped to candidate rotations, and vinyl drags stay smooth on dense exports in the brand studio.
Charters. Committing metal re-plans, detaches, and refuses only on real blockers, and a charter away from base gets a ferry rather than a refusal. A re-solve rebuilds the charter's ferries as well as its legs, the auto-scheduler leaves charters where you put them, a committed charter trades rather than being handed back, and the optimizer leaves a maintenance fill-in unscheduled. A multi-year deal gets more than one season, a programme dies with its deal, flown means it landed, and a miss stops flying.
More charter handling. The party is sized against the cabin rather than the exit limit, a dated one-off draws only on the week it flies, the rotation timeline draws a charter on the day it flies and honours what the resolved date cancelled, recovery protects charters, maintenance stops pricing them as revenue, and the cash projection cannot settle charter fixtures. A charter is one date, so it does not continue into the next season. The AI treats a charter as flown but not as capacity, a cancelled charter stops dragging network operations quality, dead fixtures leave the season retention review, and charter copy respects your airport code preference.
Slots and rotations. Dated holdings stop absorbing season usage credit and stop covering season slot conformity, charters get an entitlement for the single day they fly rather than a season of Tuesdays, tail availability resolves from the plan rather than the window, a ferry for one date does not fly all season, and an empty-string position cannot slip past the maintenance teleport guard.
Inbox and authority. A stage advance posts the regulator's letters the same day, the mailbox reconciles when the regulator's records change, the frequency-cap letter hands off to a panel that still exists, and a jurisdiction has a name rather than a key, with diplomacy news naming the countries the letters do.
Interface. The dock's workspace letters are real keybinds, the campaign board flows as masonry so uneven panels leave no holes, the sponsor viewer was thinned down to decisions and numbers, the markets table breathes and the inspector groups, the partnership row stopped being five islands, the dispatch board and tail dossier read in the app font, there is no zero-sum portfolio strip before you have opened a lounge, the calendar and the dispatch rail agree on today, and the negotiation station stops scrolling the takeover.
Tutorial and brand studio. The arm step waits for the armed set to close a loop, the cadence beat anchors on the clock, chapter two clears its decisions in the inbox, the approvals row names the room it opens, and synthesized paint charts align with the paintkit convention.
Existing saves. Saves that already paid a cabin retrofit start cost are not billed again, saves with no legacy charter are not put through a charter migration, un-migrated saves keep the old charter miss rule until they migrate, and saved sponsorship contracts are forwarded onto the new slot ids so a property can be renamed without breaking a deal you signed.
206 military-only airfields are gone from the playable world, so pure air bases are no longer selectable hubs or destinations. Saves made before the cut are repaired on load. Heads up: an older save may fail to load the first time with an error, and loading it again usually works. This build also adds maintenance fill-in reserves, scopes the competitor routes overlay to the airport you are planning from, and makes the Fleet and Crew department rails behave like the tabs they look like.
Aircraft can now be held back as maintenance fill-in reserves, so a tail pulled into the hangar has a designated stand-in instead of cancelling its day. The fleet timeline and preview dock show which aircraft are covering.
The competitor routes overlay now shows only the rival routes that touch the airport you are planning from, read outbound from it, instead of every route every competitor flies worldwide. Competitor hubs still mark the whole globe.
Autosave can be set to shorter intervals.
Weekly passenger choice, re-choice and capacity allocation now run in the native kernel, and the daily loop stops rescanning mature routes it has already settled. Long time skips finish faster and use noticeably less memory.
206 military-only airfields were removed from the playable world. Joint Base Andrews and its peers are no longer selectable hubs or destinations, while joint civil-military fields with real civilian traffic stay. Saves made before the cut are repaired on load.
Loading a save now repairs every part of the airline that pointed at a removed airport, not just the route network. Aircraft, undelivered orders, maintenance commitments, crew and the training academy relocate to a surviving base, lounges, crew bases, contracts and open postings that no longer have an airport are closed out, and history is left untouched. Known issue: because of this repair pass, an older save may fail the first time with an error. Loading the same save again usually works and the game continues normally. This does not affect every save, and new games are not affected. If a save still refuses to load after a second try, please report it here on the feedback site.
Passenger counts read as whole passengers everywhere, instead of showing fractions like "316,563.817" in Finance statements, tail dossiers and the end of game summary.
Opening the Services tab while building a flight no longer discards it. The step chips behave as real tabs and the draft resumes where you left it.
Expired aircraft exchange listings disappear at hub midnight instead of lingering as unclaimable offers.
Cost per available seat mile is shown in cents.
The Fleet and Crew department rails are real tab docks. Maintenance, Recruit, Training and Contracts stay inside their department with the rail visible, so moving between them no longer costs a trip back through the department home screen. Links that genuinely leave the department are now marked as such.
Hover hints are now drawn by the game instead of the operating system, so every tooltip matches the panels around it and reads the same on every platform. Greyed-out controls can finally say why they are unavailable. Route manager saves no longer stall, and maintenance and slot state survives a reload correctly.
Tooltips are now drawn by the game itself instead of the operating system. Every hover hint in the game, including the founding wizard's info bubble, shares one look and one placement pass, matches the glass panels around it, looks the same on every platform, and is no longer clipped by the panel it sits in. Greyed-out controls can finally explain why they are unavailable.
Saving a change in the route manager no longer stalls the game while fare projections recompute.
Maintenance plans and slot holdings are restored correctly when a save is reloaded, and schedules keep their continuity across the change.
Connections are no longer thrown out for making passengers wait too long. A connection now only has to clear the airport's minimum connection time and the detour limit, and passengers decide the rest: long waits still cost you demand instead of being banned outright.
Connections are no longer rejected for having a long layover. A connection now just needs to clear the airport's minimum connection time and the detour limit. Very long waits still hurt: passengers keep penalizing every extra minute of elapsed journey, and every layover minute past the first three hours.
Multi-day connection building keeps only the best itineraries as it goes, so planning stays fast now that long waits are allowed.
Pick the currency you want to read the game in and every money figure follows it. Fare and revenue projections now agree across the route planner, the pricing tab and route editing, so a preview no longer promises one number while the committed route earns another.
A global display currency setting. Pick the currency you want to read the game in and every money figure follows it, from founding capital through the hedging screen and the save list.
The time skip simulation now talks to the game over its own isolated worker protocol, so a skip cannot be corrupted by unrelated worker traffic.
Fare and revenue projections now agree across the route planner, the pricing tab and route editing. Previewing a route no longer shows one fare while the committed route earns another.
The planner's demand preview no longer keeps stale numbers on screen after you change the route being planned.
The fare preview in the route planner stays consistent while you adjust a plan instead of flickering between values.
Crew recurrency gets a standing lever you cannot lose, retiming one half of a round trip now moves the return leg with it, and the planning layout leads with decisions instead of legend prose. Heads up: Intelligence and competitor tracking are mid rebuild. This build lands the first slice of a larger rework, so expect that screen and the competitor moves it reports to be incomplete and unreliable for now. The Almanac remains the dependable directory of every carrier, and later builds finish the job.
A standing bulk recurrent sim lever on the crew screen. Booking every lapsed pilot no longer depends on catching the grounded pilot alert before you dismiss it, and a new Recurrency due filter takes you straight to the roster behind it.
Retiming one half of a round trip now moves the return leg with it, previewed before you save and validated as one edit, so the turn cannot silently stretch or break. A toggle opts out for a one leg change.
Planning surfaces follow your airport code preference, so ICAO codes now show by default across the planner, route performance, coordination and fleet views instead of only on the globe.
A separate guided demo build: a curated hub catalog, a start that arrives founded, certified, staffed and already flying with slots held, a regional planning boundary, and a six chapter guided operating loop with a closing recap. The full game is unaffected.
The Layer 1 planning layout leads with decisions and numbers. The overlay rail opens on the live hub connection read with the color key behind a HOW TO READ disclosure, and the performance rail hugs its roster instead of spanning the screen. Sort and filter merge into one row.
The operational feed's competitor section is now a single glance row (lanes under pressure, worst lane, total monthly risk) that opens Intelligence, instead of a second ranked threat list that could disagree with the first.
Crew roster cards no longer clip names and status lines mid glyph, and each card now reads as four distinct lines instead of repeating the same rank, base and fleet chips.
Money on the Intelligence screen is denominated in the sim year, so it agrees with every other money surface on a non USD display currency.
Everything the globe tells you about a market now comes from the same choice model that decides where passengers actually go. The analyze dossier, the hub expansion advisor and the demand overlay all rank on the demand you would really attract, and a route projected to lose money is scored as one.
Analyzing an airport on the globe now opens an honest dossier: projections come from the choice model rather than optimistic estimates, and projected losses pull the opportunity score down to Avoid instead of hiding them.
The hub expansion advisor ranks candidate markets by the demand the choice model says you would actually attract, not raw market size.
Demand overlay desire lines are ranked the same way, so the thickest lines are the markets worth your capacity.
Autosave now runs on a real time interval you can choose.
Every dropdown in the game uses the glass dropdown control, so menus look and behave the same on Windows as they do elsewhere.
Removed duplicated copy from the plan panel.
The route performance rail no longer fights the airport analyze sheet for the screen.
Opening the fleet board and scrubbing the rotation timeline no longer stutter on large networks, because slot lookups are indexed instead of rescanned.
Route management stops behaving like a wizard. Editing an existing service is now its own mode, and selecting an aircraft hands the whole workspace to the tail dossier. Skipping time is faster and steadier in a mature world, and the mouse finally lands where you point it on 1440p and 4K displays.
Editing an existing flight service is now a real edit mode. Route management no longer runs the new service wizard: step chips and NEXT navigation only appear once you choose ADD ANOTHER SERVICE, while EDIT dedicates the rail to one flight number behind an ALL SERVICES back action. Saved services list as bordered rows showing route, times, frequency and aircraft.
Picking an aircraft on the rotation timeline or the fleet board hands the workspace to the tail dossier: the dispatch rail slides away and the timeline takes its column back, so the dossier and the schedule own the screen. Closing the dossier brings the rail back.
Skipping time is faster and steadier, especially in a mature world with a large competitor network. The long pauses that built up week to week are gone.
Seasonal slot actions no longer lock up the interface, and creating route drafts no longer stalls the planner.
Mouse position now matches what you see on scaled displays. On 1440p and 4K the interface runs zoomed, which pushed hover, click, drag and tooltip positions away from the cursor on the maintenance timeline and rotation timeline, worsening toward the bottom right.
A new service added from a route's plan now inherits that route's saved fare instead of silently opening at market price and undercutting the rest of the route.
Route demand and load figures now agree across the screens that report them.
Aircraft deal room negotiators are described with the pronouns that match their name and portrait, instead of all being addressed as she/her.
Crew portraits now match the crew member's name, nationality and gender instead of re-rolling appearance on migrated or training screen rows.
Slot coordination moves out of a full screen takeover and onto the globe. Airports awaiting an answer grow callouts you act on in place, allocation reaches you from any screen and stops the clock rather than sailing past, and the planning layers were streamlined so you can edit a service, retime a rotation and cross-check a season without leaving the map.
Coordinator slot offers are answered on the globe. The full screen results takeover is gone: airports awaiting an answer grow interactive callouts on the coordination layer, with Accept, Decline and Dismiss in place, plus an Accept all offers action in the queue header. When a season is allocated the camera glides to the first airport that needs you.
Slot allocation now reaches you from any screen. A stop the clock alert fires when your offers land, and skipping ahead halts on an unanswered offer rather than sailing past it. A clean all granted allocation is just a success toast.
Existing flight services can be edited in place from the planning panel instead of being deleted and rebuilt.
The planning layers were streamlined: layer navigation, the fleet board, rotation and coordination timelines, and planning search all move together so you can retime and cross-check a season without leaving the globe.
The Orders pipeline follows the same shape as the acquisition flow, so held, open and committed deals read consistently.
Seasonal fleet planning, weekly settlement demand and season rollover now prepare incrementally, cutting memory use and time skip stalls.
Aircraft keep their ETOPS rating. New tails default correctly and used market and lessor aircraft preserve the rating through acquisition.
Maintenance no longer silently reshapes your flying. Schedules override automatic coverage, and you get a warning before an action changes coverage.
Held options can be configured before firm up.
Clicking Critical, Warnings or Fleet in the pause menu no longer crashes the game. The retired dispatch panel was still being deep linked.
In the cabin canvas the pitch and row length grips no longer overlap, so the rows grip is grabbable again on the last section of a deck.
A quality of life release built around hiring and maintenance. Recruitment now runs on a standing mandate you authorize once, so the airline keeps staffing itself month to month instead of asking you to re-approve every campaign. Maintenance gains hangar capacity you can buy and check timing you can drag, and the route planner tells you the crew a service needs while you are still planning it.
Recruitment now runs on a standing staffing mandate. You authorize a pay range and a cash floor once, and the airline keeps hiring against it every month instead of asking you to re-approve each campaign. The plan is visible on the recruit rail, and a single action clears every stalled campaign at once.
When pay alone cannot fill a campaign, the recruit desk names the remedy that would actually work rather than just reporting the shortfall. You can apply a previewed pay tier straight from the campaign inspector.
Cabin crew are recruited by aircraft body type rather than by airframe, and a recruitment order line carries its own headcount. The hiring desk can be filtered by seat and aircraft type.
The route planner shows the crew each service needs, with a per-service crew demand selector, so roster gaps show up while you are still planning the route instead of at schedule commit.
Maintenance Control now shows hangar capacity at each base and lets you buy permanent additional lines, so multiple checks can run in parallel without waiting for fleet growth to unlock another line automatically.
You choose the start hour for a check, and can drag a visit to any hour on the maintenance timeline. Planned checks appear on the fleet day timeline and can be moved from there.
The rotation timeline opens full screen.
A hire's pay tier now costs real payroll, so paying up to fill a base shows in the finances.
Connection banks are spread across the day in the planner, and the bank cards are quieter.
Planner warnings moved from the header down to the footer, next to the action they affect.
Recruitment planning is substantially faster on large rosters, so the establishment view no longer stalls while it works out supply.
The maintenance NOW button does one thing, and you can see it happen.
The maintenance canvas no longer paints over its own header.
Spare aircraft swaps work again for rotations that are already filled.
Maintenance respects the overnight gaps a tail actually has instead of an assumed one.
Runway requirements are now sized to the flight you are actually planning rather than the aircraft's longest, heaviest sector, so short fields like Jersey, Florence and London City accept the types that really serve them. The Analyze panel explains its fleet verdict instead of contradicting itself, and load factor reads the same on every screen.
Load factor reads the same everywhere. The operations console and the route performance panel now share one source, so a route's fill no longer differs depending on which screen you are looking at.
Runway requirements are sized to the flight you are actually planning instead of the type's longest, heaviest sector. Short fields like Jersey, Florence and London City now accept the aircraft that really serve them, and Analyze stops answering "No compatible aircraft" for plainly serviceable destinations.
The Analyze Opportunity tab explains its fleet verdict instead of contradicting itself. It names the aircraft it is quoting, says why nothing fits when nothing does, checks runway length at both ends and names the short one, leaves frequency blank when no aircraft can fly it, and says which end is slot constrained.
The Analyze market row reports the catchment and income the demand model actually resolved for that year, so it agrees with the demand figure beside it. Small catchments show real numbers instead of rounding to "0.0M", and inferred values are labelled ESTIMATED.
Connection bank wording in the route planner is clearer about which journeys each bank serves.
Route Performance and the Pricing tab now say which planning season they are showing, so fares no longer look like they have vanished when your planning season moves ahead of the one under way. The route planner also stops stuttering while it works out connection opportunities.
Opening the route planner no longer stutters while connection opportunities are worked out. The projection now runs off the main thread, so the globe stays smooth while the panel fills in.
Route Performance and the Pricing tab now name the planning season they are showing. If that season is not the one currently flying, the header says so and the pricing empty state points at where the flights you can see actually live. Previously fares looked like they had vanished on every route at once.
The N shortcut no longer opens the resume draft prompt underneath the What's new popup, where a following Esc could discard a founding draft.
The What's new popup keeps showing a release that contains an entry type this build does not recognize, instead of hiding the whole release.
Time skipping no longer fails when a simulation day produces no connection work to hand to the numeric kernel.
Maintenance Control is now a single canvas timeline you edit directly, with the 12 month program as a true Gantt, a triage rail beside it and an inspector that follows your selection. The route planner opens on the connection bank you are building toward, and the globe's night side is rebalanced so cities lead.
Maintenance Control is rebuilt as a single canvas timeline you edit directly. The 12 month program is a true Gantt, with a triage rail on one side and an inspector that changes with what you have selected on the other. Lanes wash out when a tail is unavailable, a due date line shows the deadline you are working against, booked visits read differently from proposed ones, and clicking a lane frames that tail's next check. A coverage panel lets you decide what happens to the flights a visit displaces and pick a substitute aircraft, an exception strip surfaces program items you have not resolved, a visit history panel is available from the header, and a rolling capacity program means hangar throughput is planned rather than assumed.
The route planner now opens on a connection bank step, so you choose the bank you are building toward before you lay out the schedule.
A changelog popup on launch, so you see what changed when a new release goes live.
Saved cabin layouts can be loaded directly in the acquisition studio.
A full bleed loading screen that covers every way into the game.
The globe's night side is rebalanced toward a Black Marble look: cities lead and the road web recedes behind them. The night web is now pre baked, so boot skips the heavy walk it used to do on startup.
Finance keeps outstanding payment rendering bounded on large books.
Bank chooser copy is tightened so it stops repeating itself.
The legacy series editor, the old order wizard, the unreachable configurator screen and the orphaned leases view are gone.
Dual deck cabins are editable deck by deck, saved layouts are comparable and applicable in the comparison view, cabin work survives leaving and reopening a deal, and cabin retrofits schedule from the live date.
Route drafts survive switching seasons, and capacity and turned away demand are stated clearly.
Cancelled flight chains recover instead of stranding the rest of the day.
The cap on active aircraft options is removed, and the force ground copy no longer offers a D check arm that does nothing.
Device and cloud save libraries are properly isolated.
The planetary night web is restored as a rasterized texture and rasterized off thread, so boot no longer stalls on it.
The route planner is rebuilt around the decision you are actually making, with a verdict up front, the schedule workspace in the centre, and the deeper numbers where they belong. Buying aircraft is its own program now, new and used alike, ending in a contract you sign by hand.
The route planner is rebuilt around the decision you are actually making. A verdict strip sits up top, the service workspace where you build the schedule is centred, and configuration is grouped around it. Route detail is now tabbed: a passengers tab tells the demand story for the route, a pricing tab forecasts what your fares will do before you commit and lets you inspect the market equation behind it, and a history tab charts monthly load as a bar chart. Copy throughout is player facing, with honest recommendations and projections, header actions that say what they do, and the deeper numbers moved into an advanced analysis drawer instead of crowding the main view. Filed services fold into projections, adding a departure is part of the same flow rather than a separate detour, and airport search now finds airports by metro name.
Per flight cabin pricing controls, so fares can differ departure by departure.
The Aircraft Exchange is rebuilt as a used acquisition program, with a funding desk that offers the same capital structures as a new build order.
New build and used purchase agreements are now hand signed contracts you sign on screen.
The flight ledger keeps the cause of a cancellation and the passengers booked on the flight, so records stay readable after the fact.
Livery editor polish, including screen true vinyl placement and rotation.
The Orders and Manufacturers screens moved onto the three layer workstation header.
The livery editor is materially faster in production builds.
Demand accounts for schedule timing, and route demand share recomputes correctly when capacity changes.
Maintenance no longer produces false missed flights.
Orders shows actionable slot availability and no longer leaks slot selections between aircraft.
The route planning panel now opens with the decision instead of burying it: a verdict strip says promising, marginal or unprofitable, and every card below it exists to explain that call. Underneath, flights can finally fill every seat they physically have, because the simulation was quietly holding every route to an 85 percent ceiling that made full flights impossible and route profitability read low across the board.
The route planning panel now leads with the decision instead of burying it. A verdict strip at the top reads promising, marginal or unprofitable and carries expected load against breakeven, the main risk and the main opportunity; every card below it exists to explain that verdict. Fare sensitivity reads as LOW, MODERATE or HIGH with a score and one actionable sentence, season and week cards give compact PEAK/LOW reads, equipment cards show predicted load and weekly profit per type, and the departure line reads as one plain sentence with block time and clock shift. A readiness line above SAVE DRAFT sums up profit per week, load and slot state.
Level 2 airports no longer show a slot to-do. Schedules-facilitated coordination needs no slots, so those rows now say so instead of showing an unfillable "0/7 secured" count and a request button. Curfew and full-bucket warnings still surface there.
Flights can fill every seat they physically have. The simulation was holding every route to an artificial 85 percent ceiling, so a genuinely full flight could never happen and route profitability read low across the board.
The fare you set while planning now drives the whole preview. Draft fares feed the contested-share and audience read, and a fare chosen before you publish the route is remembered when it goes live.
Route demand planning agrees with itself. The planner and the live route now resolve fares and demand through one path, so the numbers you plan against are the numbers you get.
Flights that cross the date line appear on the rotation timeline again.
Opening airport analysis on the globe no longer makes the world stutter every tick.
Finance now runs off a single balanced set of books, so the cash you hold, the profit you report, and what your valuation sees can no longer disagree, and the ways money could appear without a matching cost are closed. Alongside that: start-up route rights go through normal seasonal allocation, and the planning globe's season spine was rebuilt.
Start-up route rights now go through normal slot allocation. Publishing a start-up route for a future season files a guaranteed request that clears at seasonal allocation instead of minting slots on the spot; a right spent inside the active season is still arranged immediately. The notice tells you which of the two you got.
The season spine on the planning globe was rebuilt. Gate labels are compact, an empty planning checklist renders honest empty space instead of a bogus "step 0 of 0" rail, and the season start countdown reads cyan while gates are open and flips to SKIP TO START the moment the last one closes.
Changed a number of things in finance and everything attached to it. The books are one balanced set now, so cash, profit, liabilities, equity, and the statements always agree, the ways money could appear without a matching cost are closed, competitors run on the same rules, and the ledger no longer shows raw internal identifiers. Existing saves migrate on first financial contact.
The cancellation island stays on the day the Fleet board is showing. A cancellation from the day that just closed no longer reappears as a live alert after the clock rolls over; it stays in the flight log and in reputation accounting where it belongs.
The season spine no longer slides under the map's overlay toggles panel when the route performance rail is open. It now centers in the band between the two and animates with the rail instead of being pushed off or hidden.
Network planning now argues for routes instead of colouring a map. A hub expansion advisor draws the nonstops your fleet could support and prices in the connecting traffic they would feed, and every route you consider opens a passenger dossier that names who flies it, what they pay for, and how much share your brand, fare, loyalty programme and lounge actually buy you. Finance is rebuilt as a cockpit, the Recruit desk becomes a fleet-wide staffing plan, and time skipping holds its speed for longer.
Network planning opens on the DEMAND & CONNECTIONS lens, which is a hub expansion advisor rather than a heat map. It reads your fleet's range and the network you already fly, then draws a fan of new nonstops your hub could support, each valued as the local city pair plus the connecting passengers it would trade over the hub with your existing routes. Amber advice lines junction at the hub above a cyan web of the destinations they would exchange traffic with. Badges name the market and its daily passengers; hovering one turns the rest of the globe off so only that route and its feed partners remain, and expands the badge into the local versus connecting split and the partner cities. Clicking a badge plans the route.
The route planner now tells you who will fly a route before you commit to it. A teaser line under the market tiles expands the panel into a passenger dossier: purpose mix, fare sensitivity, the twelve month seasonal shape, the weekly rhythm, the seat share ladder against the incumbent carriers by airline name, and the expected fill against breakeven.
The dossier also shows your own pull on the market. It runs the choice model for the route as you have configured it, re-runs it with each of your levers switched off, and attributes the resulting market share in share points to brand reputation, the fare you set, the loyalty programme and the origin lounge. A connections card says over which end of the pair the connecting passengers really connect, which direction they continue in, and whether your own network carries them onward or another carrier does.
Finance is rebuilt as a cockpit. The cash card carries a real balance chart with daily net flow bars, low and high annotations, a crosshair readout, keyboard walking and 30 / 90 / 180 / 365 day ranges, while obligations and a scrollable ledger fill the right rail. The Corporate tab follows the same generation, with the valuation figure in the masthead and each section a full height set of internally scrolling cards.
Finance and Brand now wear the same workstation topbar as Fleet and Crew: a department wordmark with selectable sections, a command header carrying hub identity and local clock, and crisis relief moved into the alert slot.
The Recruit desk is rebuilt around a fleet-wide staffing plan. Pick a hiring policy (Lean / Standard / Resilient), read qualified / training / recruiting / required per crew group, and authorize the whole plan in one action instead of filing gap requisitions one at a time. A staffing timeline shows what each delivery needs and the date hiring has to start to cover it.
Open campaigns are now one scannable table. Clicking a row opens an inspector with the monthly funnel, the real acceptance drivers behind the forecast, and a priced improve-offer tradeoff that shows the acceptance and months-to-full you would buy at the next pay tier.
Selecting a route in the planning performance rail slides out a route detail panel on the left edge: month-to-date figures with seats offered and average fare, per-class load meters, passenger purpose mix, cost decomposition, and a readable month-by-month history that replaces the old one-bar sparkline.
Route performance rows now carry scheduled weekly seat capacity beside the frequency, plus realized per-class load factors, passengers, revenue, and the market's passenger purpose mix.
The demand overlay is now a lens. While it is on, the globe hides the route network, competitor arcs, and every airport that is not the focus or a desire line destination, so the demand picture reads alone.
The cabin configurator models real second decks. The 747 and A380 get a true upper deck instead of one inflated main deck, classes spill between decks when the floor runs out, and galleys and lavatories sit at exact floor positions that seats flow around. Every aircraft in the master now resolves a cabin template.
The rotation timeline draws explicit turnaround blocks spanning arrival to next departure with the turn duration inside, red when it is under the required minimum. A ready chip hangs off the day's last arrival showing the minimum ground time the aircraft still owes before another departure could be added, with the earliest possible next departure beside it.
The tutorial's crew chapter walks the new plan desk and campaign table.
The game now caps at 60 FPS, and time skipping and saving stall less. Weekly demand rollover no longer grows unbounded in memory, and weekly market resolution moved onto a second generation kernel, so long skips hold their speed for longer.
The crew rail's hiring row is a status readout, not a settings toggle stuck off. It answers who is running the hiring in plain words, NOT HIRING or AUTO STAFFING PLAN or YOUR MANUAL ORDERS or both, and keeps the counts in the tooltip.
Before you launch a loyalty programme, the Brand atrium sits on plain workstation glass. The hub backdrop is now a reward for launching one.
The passenger dossier spells its labels out: month and weekday names instead of abbreviations, full airline names on the seat ladder with your own row marked, "seats/day", and "below the yearly average" instead of a bare "vs".
The tail dossier rotation inspector is rebuilt for readability: a day-grouped chain with sticky day headers, single-line legs with red-eye markers, slim turn connectors that call out tight turns and overnight breaks, and a stat grid with a utilization heat bar.
The Recruit desk carries decisions and numbers only. The instructional prose moved into tooltips, the staffing equation collapses to one line, and the skip control reads "Advance to next hire".
The passenger mix segment previously labelled "VFR" now reads "Visiting family".
Finance ledger entries created by your own actions are written in plain language.
The connecting-passenger numbers now tell one story on every surface. The globe badge headline is the same city pair demand the plan panel calls estimated demand, the connecting figure counts only the connect-willing slice of each feed market instead of a raw demand sum, and the collapsed plan panel echoes the badge from the same calculation.
The manual recruitment order's authorize button counts people rather than posting lines, so adding crew with the steppers moves the number.
The monthly load-factor trend on a route could only ever show the current month, because month close was stripping the route rollups. Six months of route history is now retained, and loss months tint red with their net and flight count in the tooltip.
Maintenance checks now begin and end at the exact local time they are due, and calendar-dated work honors its exact date.
AOC certification stage gates opened a day late whenever a skip crossed a month boundary. Normally invisible, but it stranded you in the previous stage when an alert halted the skip on exactly that day.
When an alert tore down a certification skip, the AOC autopilot was left active with nothing armed behind it, which also hid the manual "Advance to stage" control and left you with no certification control at all. It now parks on its pause rail with resume and cancel.
Escaping the order pipeline no longer leaves the time controls stuck.
Reopening a route no longer loses the origin you set.
Retained season handovers survive the season roll, and the season retention review no longer opens when there is nothing to review.
The clock no longer jumps to catch up after a rollover.
Auto-schedule no longer refuses aircraft because of a daily block ceiling.
Turn and ready chips no longer paint over a very short leg on the rotation timeline.
Layout fixes: Finance no longer draws a redundant title row above its own wordmark, and the crewing runway and campaign card layouts no longer drift across dead space.
Filing a route now commits both directions, so a half-finished plan can no longer leave a one-way draft behind. Alongside that: certification skips run to their target instead of stalling every month, the A32x family stops rendering with broken-open engines, and liveries finally paint the right way round.
Planning a route now commits both directions. Once the outbound is filed the panel holds you in the return step: create the return, or discard the outbound and start over. Closing the panel or switching season is blocked until one of those happens, so walking away mid-flow can no longer leave a one-way draft sitting on the route.
Time skipping is faster again. The pass that decides which competitor departures actually operate each day now runs through a compiled kernel, doing the same arithmetic with identical results.
Certification skips run all the way to their target instead of halting at every month boundary. Aircraft delivered on the road to Demonstration queue their ceremonies at the destination, so "skip to Demonstration" is one action again rather than several clicks.
A32x engine nacelles no longer render as broken-open shells with the engine internals showing, in the hangar and on the globe alike.
Liveries paint the right way round. Text stamps no longer render mirrored, and the tail no longer shows the opposite side's paint as a bare grey wedge. This covers the A32x family for now, with the other types to follow. Stamps saved before this fix will land in new spots and need re-placing, though they were rendering wrong either way.
Keeping your fleet airworthy is now something you plan rather than something that happens to you. A, C and D checks come due on real intervals, a new Maintenance board books them into the nights your aircraft are on the ground, and flying past a due date has consequences. The simulation's heaviest numeric work also moved onto compiled kernels, so time skipping does the same arithmetic faster.
Aircraft maintenance is now a program you run, not a chore that happens to you. Every tail carries A, C and D checks that come due on flight hours or on cycles and calendar time, whichever arrives first, and each check has its own downtime and shop-visit cost.
A new Maintenance board in the Fleet workstation lays hangar lines against the next fourteen nights. Overnight A-checks are planned into the gaps in each tail's rotation automatically, and you can move a booking to another night, send it to a different station, or release it entirely.
C-checks book as multi-night stays at the hub MRO, drawn on the board as one continuous span across the nights they occupy, planned just in time before they fall due.
D-checks are a genuine decision point. A heavy overhaul grounds the aircraft for roughly six months, and about a year out you get advance notice framing the choice between overhauling the airframe and retiring it.
Flying past a check's due date now costs you. Inside the grace window dispatch reliability degrades steadily, and at 110% of the interval the aircraft is grounded whether you planned for it or not.
The tail preview and dossier show how far through each interval an aircraft is, which driver is pushing it there, and the night its next check is booked for, including any station conflict.
Short flight blocks in the fleet timeline now show the destination code instead of rendering as an anonymous box. Each block carries as much of its identity as it physically has room for, and cancellations keep their struck-through code when the reason line no longer fits.
Maintenance costs now reflect real shop-visit money: an A-check on an A320 runs about $23K, a C-check about $425K, and a D-check about $2.3M.
The simulation's heaviest numeric work now runs through compiled kernels: demand resolution, procedural gravity, seasonal slot demand, slot-pool allocation and live-capacity acceptance. Time skipping and the AI world do the same arithmetic with identical results, faster.
Maintenance planning lives on the board now. The old immediate 'Plan A-check' dispatch that grounded an aircraft for two days is gone, and the Fleet workstation drops its Schedule tab.
A published service can be taken off a route from the planner. Every filed series under 'Services on this route' now carries its own delete control, armed first so a stray click cannot drop a live service, and removing one trims any rotation line holding it. Previously the only way out was CLOSE ROUTE, which wiped both directions at once.
The chase camera carries its own way out. Following an aircraft no longer traps you when the flight strip disappears underneath you: an exit control floats for as long as the chase runs, and Escape leaves the chase without also opening the pause menu.
The Maintenance board header lays out left to right again instead of the back button swallowing the row and shoving the title to the far edge.
Time skipping now runs on a background worker, so week and month boundaries no longer freeze the interface, and a completed skip still produces byte-identical simulation state. Skip Ahead gets one always-visible control that stays findable after onboarding. The globe recovers from WebGL failures on its own, renderer and save memory stay bounded, and saves are about 89% smaller. The network planner can also resume an unpaired outbound draft instead of trapping you behind the proving cap.
Skip Ahead now has one always-visible control beside the simulation-state selector in Time & System. Its tooltip and accessible name state the selected destination, so fast-forwarding stays findable after onboarding and away from the bare globe screen.
Runtime performance diagnostics now record rolling FPS, long main-thread tasks, simulation-day timings, save-codec timings and WebGL context state. Bug reports carry that snapshot, so freezes, frame drops and blank-map reports are actionable without asking you to reproduce them under a profiler.
The globe now has automatic WebGL initialization and context-loss recovery, plus an explicit retry control if both recovery attempts fail.
Focused regression coverage now guards time-skip equivalence and cancellation, demand and visualization invalidation, save compression, renderer resource limits, worker packaging and the major simulation performance budgets.
Skip Ahead considers every outstanding wait and otherwise offers a clean jump to the first of next month. Aircraft-delivery waits work with an existing fleet and stop when that fleet grows; crew-hiring waits stay available mid-game and are capped at 120 days, so an unfillable posting cannot consume years of live operations.
Time skipping now runs through a persistent background worker, yields between simulated days and sends bounded progress updates instead of repeatedly blocking the render thread at weekly and monthly boundaries. Cancellation stays responsive, completed skips still produce byte-identical simulation state, and the intentional blurred skip presentation remains in place.
Demand work now uses exact, adaptive caches and incremental integer hashing. Feeder demand still rotates daily, while unchanged geography, schedules and economics reuse their previous calculations.
Globe visualization invalidation now distinguishes changes that affect the rendered world from dossier-only state. Hidden or fully obscured maps suspend animation, aircraft-state generation and other invisible work until the map can be seen again.
Globe and Brand Studio renderers now use bounded texture, imagery, livery, airspace and OSM caches; close discarded image bitmaps; cap expensive device pixel ratios; and dispose GPU resources idempotently.
Saves are encoded and decoded off the main thread and use a backward-compatible gzip payload. A representative large save is about 89% smaller while existing uncompressed saves continue to load.
The network planner can resume an outbound draft that is still missing its paired return instead of forcing a duplicate same-direction series and trapping you behind the pre-operational proving cap. Leaving or reopening the panel preserves that draft, and curfew messages now identify whether the outbound must move earlier rather than incorrectly advising a later return.
A route drafted before the AOC demonstration stage no longer disappears when its planned season elapses and permanently blocks the one-route proving cap. The draft is re-homed, with its identity intact, into the live planning season when safe; affected saves repair themselves on the next operating day, and expired unpublished drafts no longer count against a later candidate.
Scheduling an A-Check no longer invalidates the complete demand surface and resends the complete world to the visualization worker. Planned maintenance is excluded from both keys, fixing the reported case where the map vanished immediately after an A-Check was scheduled.
A WebGL initialization error or lost graphics context can no longer leave the globe permanently blank.
Week boundaries during a long time skip no longer freeze the interface for several seconds while simulation work runs on the UI thread.
The always-visible Advancing status component has been removed from time skips. The skip overlay and its intentional background blur are unchanged.
Lazy worker startup, worker fallback and cancellation now converge on one stop path, preventing a cancelled skip from continuing or leaving stale progress UI behind.
Fast-forwarding now preserves live-play daily feeder rotation, January startup behavior, capacity accounting and emitted effects instead of diverging at calendar boundaries.
Renderer teardown and cache eviction no longer retain stale aircraft, textures, imagery chunks or worker-generated visualization state across long sessions.
A small follow-up to the performance work in 0.5.233. Network planning no longer stalls the globe while it works out demand and competition figures, and competitor flights that have already landed stop lingering on the map.
Network planning stays responsive: opening the plan panel, editing fares and inspecting route performance no longer stall the globe while demand and competition figures are worked out. That work now runs off the main thread.
Competitor flights that have already landed no longer linger on the map as live aircraft.
The airport master more than doubles, so founding reaches far more of the world. Hub search is now search-first instead of a curated shortlist, it includes the smaller fields the old population floor hid, and it respects the founding year: search a relocated airport in an earlier year and you get the site that actually existed then. The charter designator plates also behave like real inputs now.
The airport master more than doubles, from 3,278 to 8,806 fields, so hub search reaches far more of the world.
Hub search is search-first: the list stays empty until you type, and there is no curated shortlist standing between you and the field you want. Smaller fields that the old population floor hid are selectable now.
Hub results respect the founding year. Searching a relocated airport in an earlier year shows the site that actually existed then, so a 1990s HKG finds Kai Tak rather than Chek Lap Kok.
The charter designator plates behave like real inputs. IATA codes accept digits, clicking a code opens a fresh editor instead of trapping you inside a full field, and typing no longer fights the caret.
A single fix for founding. A thin opening balance no longer stops you from filing the charter: the founding wizard's cash runway projection is advisory now, so FILE & START goes through instead of stalling behind a red validation line.
Founding an airline on a thin opening balance no longer blocks the charter filing. The wizard's cash runway projection is advisory now, so FILE & START works instead of stalling behind a red validation line.
A fixes release for the operation. Flights that cross midnight stay live through the day rollover, retained routes can be assigned before the season starts, and departure readouts now state the clock shift between the two airports so a westbound sector stops reading as an impossible flight.
Flights that cross midnight stay live through the day rollover instead of disappearing from the operation.
Retained routes can be assigned before the season starts.
Departure readouts state the clock shift between the two airports inline, so a westbound sector no longer reads as an impossible flight. Display only: the arrival times were already correct.
Keyboard shortcuts now honor the same panel locks Escape does, so a shortcut can no longer swap a panel out from under a tutorial beat or close the Brand Studio mid debut. Holding the key no longer toggles a panel at the key repeat rate.
Every AI carrier is visible in the world again, instead of one large timetable crowding the rest of the competition off the map. The tutorial is rebuilt around the loop the game actually asks you to repeat, and it is far shorter for it.
Every AI carrier in the world is visible again. The live flight window now represents each active carrier before it adds extra detail to any one of them, so a single large timetable can no longer crowd the rest of the world off the map.
The tutorial is rebuilt around the loop the game actually asks you to repeat: certify, secure aircraft and crew, analyze a market, draft and publish a round trip, secure airport access, assign an aircraft, operate, read the result, adjust. It is far shorter, and workstation tours that do not advance that loop have moved into first-visit primers.
Empty reposition flights stop haunting your schedule. Ferries from a finished season no longer bleed into the next one, and a week that can be flown with no repositioning at all now is. Saves that had been carrying phantom ferry legs season after season are repaired on load, without touching anything you locked yourself.
Empty reposition flights no longer leak between seasons. Ferries belonging to an expired season stop being scheduled into the following one, and a network that can be flown with no repositioning at all now is: when a balanced out-and-back week still comes back with ferries, the scheduler retries a few alternate tie-breaks and keeps the cleanest plan.
Saves carrying synthetic reposition legs from an older scheduler are repaired on load and at each season roll. The repair is conservative: lines you locked are never touched, and a plan is only replaced when it keeps every flight covered while genuinely cutting the ferry count.
Planning now looks where you are actually flying next. The moment a season's slot request window opens, every planning surface turns to face it together and tells you why it moved. The filing deadline stops the clock instead of slipping past you at speed, airport dossiers say when the airport is open, and adding a route to a season already under way finally explains what that means.
Planning now faces the next season on its own. Once that season's slot request window opens, the globe, plan panel, route inspector, series editor and timetable all switch to it together, and the switcher says why it moved. A one-time notice announces the move each season.
A deadline alert on the eve of slot allocation. The last day you can file for the season now stops the clock with a blocking notice, and its primary action files the whole season in one go.
Airport operating hours in the airport dossier: HOURS LOCAL reads 24H, or the open window an airport's night curfew leaves behind.
Adding a brand-new route to a season already under way no longer claims the route is already flying. The editor now says what a mid-season addition actually means, and offers to plan the next season instead.
Renderer and save memory are bounded, so long sessions and large saves stay within budget.
Getting your first routes off the ground is no longer a slot fight: certification grants four hub movement credits so your opening network flies for free at the hub. At every season window you now review your network and choose what to keep and what to drop, with dropped routes staying dropped. Finance gains a Statements tab and a richer cash cockpit, random aircraft groundings are gone, and time skipping is materially faster.
Start-up route rights: certification now grants four hub movement credits, so your first routes get slot access at the hub for free (the far end is always free). A counter on the season spine tracks what's left, a one-time notice announces the entitlement, and a toast fires each time a credit is spent.
Season route retention: at each season window you review your network and decide what to keep and what to drop. Dropped routes are stripped from the rotation carry-over, cannot be resurrected through published clones or stale allocations, and the review re-opens from the season spine.
Finance Statements tab: monthly P&L rows with year-to-date summaries.
Richer CFO cockpit: cash delta, net per day, and a day-net ledger.
Aircraft no longer suffer random AOG groundings.
Large time-skip performance pass across AI, simulation, costs, crew, slots, finance and the globe: skipping days and months is materially faster.
Loyalty Atrium refresh: reworked FFP command center, lever console, tier designer and credential hero.
The ESC menu is now a three-zone pause hub with left navigation, retitled to Skyline Sim; the Achievements section is gone.
The crisis banner blends into the card-free finance surface.
Playtest consent gate rebuilt in the glass dialect with Discord and F8 report paths, pointing at the live Discord invite.
Landing a leg no longer releases a tail that is grounded.
The certification gate countdown is day-granular with an honest stage caption.
The month's last day is finalized before the window rolls, so the final day of each month is no longer lost.
Save repair now re-files arrival buckets the old seasonal clock had moved, not just broken turns.
Airport lifecycle respects the season window, and AI carriers wait for a successor field before migrating.
SXF carries its coordination row, and border-miss airports get correct timezone offsets.
Arcade mode is withheld from the playtest build's intro.
Airports are no longer fixed scenery. New fields open, announced closures wind down, and a closing airport hands its traffic to its replacement, with a Migrate Airport flow that carries your routes, series, slots and bases across. Night curfews are now enforced everywhere you plan, AI carriers react to closures, and the whole lifecycle is narrated through stories and the news log.
Airports now live and die with the world: new fields open, announced closures wind down, and a closing airport hands its traffic to its replacement on the closure day.
Airport relocation: a Migrate Airport flow moves your routes, series, slots and bases to the replacement field in one step, with a story prompt and news coverage.
Night curfews are enforced across planning: a four-point rotation curfew selector, a curfew callout and SAVE gate on the planning form, a gate when creating or retiming a series, and a refusal on curfew-busting paired returns.
Airport pickers, planning nodes and globe dossiers now honor lifecycle: closed and not-yet-open fields are hidden, announced closures are ghosted, and relocations move on the map.
AI carriers react to the world: they avoid new commitments at airports scheduled to close and follow a deterministic migration schedule.
Airport lifecycle stories and news-log events (announce, open, close, relocate) now run through the Event Director.
Changed some stuff in DST behavior.
Season rollover continuity: schedules published late are swept in at activation, sole-row season tails re-anchor at the target season start, late-start clones heal on load, and empty carry-over is un-burned.
Level-3 slot coordination is now year-aware: it reads each airport's own coordination history instead of assuming today's level.
SLOTS readiness on the globe reads actual player leg coverage instead of the allocation stamp.
Rebaked airport coordination data so TXL/SXF carry their level and curfew.
A clarity pass across the crew and fleet screens: the recruit desk is now framed as hiring campaigns with honest diagnosis, the crew screens read in plain language, and fleet home tells one honest status truth per tail. Plus fixes to auto-schedule and flight-ops that stop spurious ferry flights.
Redesigned crew recruit desk: postings are now framed as hiring campaigns, with an honest diagnosis of slow hires, labeled seat clusters, a campaign clock, and plain-language reads across denser, more legible posting cards.
Crew screen polish: player-facing crew alerts, an honest duty-status chain with a clearer duty leg and spelled-out cooldown, a denser crew preview dock, roster differentiators, an honest cause for new-hire morale, and a renamed Open Profile action.
Fleet home now gives one honest status truth on the selected tail during a crisis, and replaces the repetitive '0 flown' line with a contextual gutter tally.
Auto-schedule now places round trips as single units, so it no longer inserts spurious auto-reposition ferry flights.
Flight-ops healing no longer ferries a tail whose leg already departed.
Crew roster shortfalls now surface at every decision point, when drafting routes, building schedules, and committing, with the exact seat mix you're short. Rosters also size themselves honestly against real fleet utilization, plus a standalone cabin reconfigure studio and a batch of globe and flight-ops fixes.
Roster-shortfall warnings now surface at every decision point: when drafting routes, building schedules, and committing, with the specific seat mix (captains, first officers, cabin) you're short.
A sustained crew-shortfall feasibility warning flags rotations that can't be crewed over the season, not just on a single day.
New standalone cabin-reconfigure studio lets you retrofit the cabin of aircraft you already own.
Roster-sizing feedback is faster: whole-roster scans were hoisted out of the hot loops that run on every schedule evaluation.
Crew rosters now size themselves honestly against real aircraft utilization and monthly duty caps, so staffing targets reflect how hard you actually fly the fleet.
Weekly out-and-back flights are no longer mistakenly treated as multi-day tours, which had caused spurious all-cancel days.
AI aircraft on the globe now blend smoothly when upgrading from coarse to detailed flight paths instead of teleporting.
Climbout paths now sweep along the great circle so the handoff into cruise no longer snaps.
Crew morale is now visible across the app, with per-base and roster readouts, a diagnosis in each crew member's personnel file, and a retention program lever. Plus fixes to how crew duty limits and crew selection work day to day.
Crew morale is now visible across the app: per-base and roster morale readouts, a morale diagnosis in each crew member's personnel file, a low-morale roster banner with a matching filter, and morale cause and trend in the preview dock.
Added a retention program lever and a morale response plan that maps morale drivers to the levers that address them.
Crew duty limits now use true rolling 7 and 30 day windows instead of resetting on calendar boundaries.
A tail's crew is chained through its full duty day before a fresh crew is drawn, and crew selection now prefers the least-utilized crew.
World standing credits both endpoints of a route toward regional presence.
A round of rendering and livery fixes: globe overlays now draw correctly, liveries no longer show baked house artwork on the 737 Classic and 767/787, and stale cancellation alerts no longer follow you between runs. Plus performance optimizations.
Performance optimizations.
Brand Studio: neutralized the baked house livery on the 737 Classic and 767/787 models so liveries no longer show ghost titles, cheatlines and tail logos, and retuned the 737 Classic paint zones (nacelles and lower tail/fin).
A previous run's flight-cancellation alerts no longer linger over a freshly started or loaded game.
Globe overlays now render correctly: wind ribbons, route arcs, hover/select preview arcs, desire lines, catchments, fleet-focus overlays and airspace FIR/airway/weather lines were being backface-culled and drawing nothing.
Reworked the passenger demand model so traffic across your route network behaves more realistically.
Reworked the passenger demand model for more realistic traffic across the route network.
Retained slot services now carry over into the next season instead of being dropped at the season boundary, so your continuing schedule stays intact across the rollover.
Retained slot services now carry over into the next season instead of being dropped at the season boundary.
When the game hits an unexpected error, you now see a crash card that explains what happened and hands you the details to report it, instead of a blank screen. This release also fixes a build regression that could break the in-game report tool.
When the game hits an unexpected error, you now see a crash card explaining what happened, with the details you need to report it, instead of a blank screen.
Fixed a build regression that could break the in-game report tool.
A quick patch on top of 0.4.0: the Windows desktop build failed to compile, which blocked the in-game report tool's screenshot capture on Windows. Both now build and work correctly.
Windows desktop build no longer fails to compile; the in-game report tool's screenshot capture now builds and works on Windows.
You can now report bugs without leaving the game: press F8 or use the system menu to send a report with a screenshot, recent errors, and game context attached. This release also protects newly awarded slots from being lost at season rollover and makes dropping services visible on the coordination timeline.
In-game bug reporting: press F8 or use the system/main menu to send a report with a screenshot, recent errors, and game context straight from the game.
"Exit without saving" option in the quit menu.
Slot allocation now warns you when prior-season services are not set to continue.
Dropping services are now shown on the coordination timeline, so drops can no longer go unnoticed.
Mid-season slot awards now get a fair prorated 80/20 usage entitlement instead of being judged on a full season.
Network planner: a Back control on the return-leg prompt lets you discard the outbound draft and start over.
The tutorial now guides you through the full next-season flow: allocation, assignment, and season start.
A new notable German crew name joins the hiring pool.
The Arcade play style is disabled in the playtest build while it gets more work.
Newly awarded slots no longer risk being taken away at season rollover before their routes have had a chance to fly.
The demo route now crosses the season boundary cleanly instead of dropping its second half.
Globe zoom now scales with altitude, so zooming near the surface no longer jumps erratically.
The crew-hire skip prompt now only appears during onboarding instead of lingering mid-game.
The cancellation alert is properly anchored to the right edge of the screen.
The Back control on the return prompt sits at the bottom where expected.
A follow-up fix round for flight operations: crew duty chains now carry through a full day on the same aircraft, disruption recovery ferries are timed so they actually arrive before the leg they feed, and cancellation alerts tell you the real reason a flight was lost.
Crew duty chains now continue correctly on the same aircraft across a day's legs.
Disruption recovery ferries are planned backward from the departure of the leg they feed, so they arrive on time.
Cancellation alerts now show the real reason from the crew binder and are centered over the world map.
Fleet timeline cancel labels match the refined crew-detail wording.
Spare aircraft now cover a grounded jet's whole rotation or none of it, so covering one disruption no longer strands a healthy aircraft and cascades cancellations for days. Aircraft that end up in the wrong place fly a positioning leg instead of quietly cancelling, and cancelled sectors stay visible on the Fleet timeline with the reason they were lost.
Cancelled sectors now stay on the Fleet timeline as hollow red blocks showing why they were cancelled, so a wiped-out day reads as losses instead of 'no sectors assigned'. The gutter gains a red cancellation tally.
Cancellation alerts slide in from the right edge of the screen on the operations console.
A spare aircraft now takes over a grounded aircraft's entire rotation or none of it. Previously it was borrowed for a single leg, stranding it away from its own schedule and cascading cancellations for the rest of the maintenance window.
The same whole-chain rule applies to spares covering delays: without a fully free spare, the late aircraft absorbs the delay and keeps its rotation intact.
Aircraft that end up in the wrong place now fly a positioning leg at the start of the day instead of silently cancelling flights until they drift home.
Cancellation alerts fire during normal play, not only when crossing a month.
Hardened season continuity healing and rotation carry-over.
Schedules you carry across a season boundary now activate on their own when the new season starts operating, and the carry-forward is applied exactly once. This release also repairs saves whose continued schedules had been silently dropped and hardens flight numbering across the season boundary.
Schedules carried across a season boundary now activate automatically when the new season starts operating.
Season carry-forward is tracked with an explicit one-shot marker so a continuation is applied exactly once.
Repaired saves where a season's continued schedules had been silently dropped.
The flight-number suggester now reserves the previous season's published numbers instead of reusing them.
Carried services renumber on a flight-number conflict rather than being dropped.
Acquisition aisle strips and pitch handles now render above the row hit areas.
Flight cancellations now come to the surface: when the engine cancels a flight it pulses on the globe and offers a WHY drill-in explaining the cause, instead of quietly disappearing. The Route Performance rail also gets wider and easier to read, and you can now close a route straight from it.
Flight cancellations surface on the main view: when the engine cancels a flight it now pulses on the globe and offers a WHY drill-in that explains the cause, instead of quietly disappearing.
Close a route from the Route Performance rail: retire an underperforming route directly where you review it.
The Route Performance rail is wider and easier to read, set in the Inter typeface with plainer, less jargon-heavy copy.
Cancelled flights read CANCELLED in full: the console no longer shows the cryptic CXL shorthand.
A polish pass on the world globe and the console clock: stranded aircraft no longer flash a phantom departure, the top-bar clock now reads correct season-aware local time so summer departures stop looking an hour early, and the Arcade livery debut opens the moment your first metal is delivered.
Stranded aircraft no longer flash a phantom departure: a jet parked away from a route's origin used to briefly show its boarding and pushback on the globe and then vanish. It now only renders a leg it will actually fly.
The top-bar clock reads correct local time in summer: the console clock is now season-aware (DST), so summer departures no longer look an hour early against the clock. This also fixes Canary Islands hubs showing mainland Spain's time.
The Arcade livery debut opens on delivery: in pre-approved and Arcade games the Brand Studio now appears the moment your first metal is delivered, matching Full Simulation, instead of waiting for the first flight to roll.
This release adds Skip Ahead, a global time-skip control that fast-forwards past the waiting to your next meaningful moment: AOC certification, aircraft delivery, crew hired, slot allocation, or season start. It also pre-seeds the used-aircraft market on Arcade starts and fixes a crew hiring-post snap-back.
Skip Ahead: a global time-skip control that fast-forwards to the next meaningful moment, AOC certification, aircraft delivery, crew hired, slot allocation, or season start. It lives in the top metric bar.
A Skip to Crew Hired shortcut in the Recruit rail.
Arcade starts now pre-seed the used-aircraft market so you can buy metal from day one.
Crew hiring-post edits no longer snap back on the next sim tick.
Fixed a stray sound effect when a skip finished.
This release stands up a full loyalty program end to end. Found and run your own frequent flyer program with a truthful launch wizard and an FFP command center wired into your P&L, pull levers like promotions, mile devaluations, expiry policy, and co-brand deals, and contend with rival carriers that now run their own loyalty programs and devaluation windows.
Frequent Flyer Program: found and run a full loyalty program. A truthful launch wizard lets you set your mile value and 2 to 6 tiers, and an FFP command center in the Atrium inspector is wired live into your P&L with a dedicated FFP line.
Loyalty levers: run promotions (double miles, enrolment drives), devalue or revalue your miles, set an expiry policy, redesign your tiers, status-match rival elites into your top tier, and sign co-brand partnership deals.
Competitive loyalty: rival carriers now run their own loyalty strength and devaluation windows, narrated by the Event Director, and per-region loyalty preference feeds into which airline travelers choose.
Crew status bar gains a second deck of department tabs (Recruit, Training, Contracts).
Trainees in the simulator now read as IN SIMULATOR instead of on assignment.
Loyalty member readouts de-duplicated, and a misleading forecast-members fallback was dropped.
Certification: the proving mark no longer stalls, and coverage-dead demo holdings from legacy saves heal on load.
Slot demo grants land at the exact requested bucket.
The elapsed hub-local day is finalized before the day window rolls, and the FFP promo end window off-by-one is fixed.
A new Arcade preset lets you jump straight into building your airline. The founding intro now offers Arcade or Simulation, plus an independent Automatic Airport Access option. Arcade pre-approves your AOC and grants automatic slot access for your own flights, so you go from filing to your first route without the certification and coordination overhead, while Simulation keeps the full path.
Arcade mode: a new-game preset for jumping straight into building your airline. The founding intro now offers Arcade or Simulation presets, plus an independent Automatic Airport Access option. Arcade pre-approves your AOC (real executives, policies, and fees still apply, only the waiting, findings, and proving flights are skipped) and grants automatic airport slot access for your own flights, so you go from filing to your first route without the certification and coordination overhead. Simulation keeps the full certification path and coordinated slots.
Your published schedule now carries into the next season instead of expiring when the window opens, so the network you built keeps flying. Coordination marks each Layer 2 service as retained, new, or at risk, and season-to-season slot continuity is hardened across the window boundary and the foreground tick path.
Your published schedule now carries forward automatically when a new season's window opens, instead of expiring, so you keep flying the network you built.
Coordination now marks each Layer 2 service as RETAINED (held from last season), new, or AT-RISK, so you can see at a glance what your prior season earned you.
A notification announces when your season schedule is auto-continued.
The topbar time display now shows the active timezone.
Season-to-season slot continuity and time-skipping are hardened so schedules stay consistent across the window boundary and along the foreground tick path.
The desktop Exit button works again (a window close permission was missing).
Aircraft assignment moves into the dispatch rail itself: the unassigned queue is now route-grouped right where you commit it, with an arm-and-commit gesture and a rewritten CHECKRIDE tutorial to match. Desktop gets a proper Exit option, and founding plus the fleet timeline stop tripping over time zones.
New Exit option in the main menu on desktop builds.
The dispatch rail now hosts the unassigned queue directly, so the separate Fleet Services strip is gone. Assignments use a route-grouped queue with an arm-and-commit gesture, and the CHECKRIDE tutorial walks you through the new flow.
While a slot request window is still upcoming, you can now SKIP TO WINDOW OPEN instead of waiting.
Founding now auto-switches your jurisdiction when you change the starting hub, so the two never fall out of sync.
The fleet-home TODAY timeline is framed in your hub's local time instead of UTC.
Network planning gains a route-performance rail: expand it on the map to see how every route is actually doing, straight from the settled monthly ledger, with a load-factor sparkline and a one-click handoff to the plan editor. Long time-skips also run noticeably faster.
Network planning has a new route-performance rail: expand it on the map to see how every route is actually doing, drawn from settled monthly figures (flights flown and cancelled, passengers, load factor, revenue, cost, and net) with a 6-month load-factor sparkline and one-click handoff to the plan editor. Hovering a route lights up its arc on the globe.
Long time-skips run noticeably faster.
The game now opens in fullscreen by default, with Windowed and Borderless still one click away in Settings. Startup is faster and the download much smaller: airport boundary and taxiway data now stream from a CDN instead of shipping inside the app.
The game now opens in fullscreen by default. You can switch to Windowed or Borderless anytime in Settings, Display; your choice is remembered.
Faster startup and a much smaller download: airport boundary and taxiway data now stream from a CDN instead of shipping inside the app (~60 MB trimmed).
Split the startup and workstation code bundles so the game reaches the main menu sooner.
Miscellaneous stability fix.
A ground-up immersive pass across the game. Aircraft acquisition becomes an interactive Acquisition Program with a canvas cabin designer; the loyalty screen is reborn as the Loyalty Atrium with a live 3D lounge and ambient-orbit camera; and Lounge Studio brings visiting, upgrading, and closing lounges together with 3D furniture and amenity pickers. AI airlines now share live operations: real frequencies, ICAO callsigns, and era-correct fleets. Finance is rebuilt on the immersive card-free dialect across Governance, Corporate, Brand Identity, and Marketing/Reputation surfaces.
Immersive Acquisition Program order flow, with an interactive canvas cabin designer built into aircraft acquisition.

AI airlines now share live operations: real frequencies, ICAO callsigns, and era-correct fleets across the world roster.
Certification: the auto-setup offer now waits until demonstration flights are actually flying before it appears.
Finance rebuilt on the immersive card-free dialect: Governance board room, Corporate tab, Brand Identity Atelier, and Marketing/Reputation surfaces.
CFO cockpit runway now reads in years (and ∞ past the sim window) instead of a raw multi-thousand-day count.
Faster manufacturer and AI time-skipping.
World Standing no longer leaks raw region keys in the Reputation surface.
Hardened the game loop and player interactions during time skipping.
Pilot currency is preserved through the tutorial.
Manufacturer lifecycle now follows an audited contract.
Brand Studio: atlas UVs synthesized for UV-stripped exports; atlas islands split by winding.
Workspace dock hidden during fullscreen program wizards.
