Roadmap - Long Term Plan

New Alliance Control Panel

New feature - New Alliance Control Panel

  • The Alliance Control Panel and all related functions have been fully renewed.

  • The user interface and code is 100%, with mobile-compatible layout of AirwaySim v.2.0. The Control Panel is divided into three sub-sections, Alliance Applications, Alliance Settings and Member Management.

  • You can now promote members to Alliance Managers directly (and to demote them as regular members).

  • Alliance applications and invitations, as well as the application rejections, can now have a short text describing the response's reasons.

  • In-game news are now posted every time a member leaves or joins an alliance.

  • Alliance Settings now support the new and bigger alliance logo and livery, similar to airline logo/livery.

  • Member Management section includes an expandable overview of all member airlines, as well as the total alliance membership counts.

  • Alliance joining / forming limits permanently removed (previously was a game-specific setting, and default required an airline age of 6 months or older, with fleet of 10 planes or more - these limits no longer apply).

  • Alliance max member count is now always fixed at 40 members, instead of dynamic based on the game capacity.

  • PLEASE NOTE: All pending alliance invitations / applications have been reset due to the system change, and you should submit them again.

Improvements

  • Activated some additional security filters in core website systems.

  • Added the Matomo user analytics, for testing purposes, as a proposed alternative for Google Analytics.

  • Internal improvements to form data handling.

  • The mobile sub-menu icon is now dynamic, and better represents the menu status of being a search/filters menu, or a 2nd level navigation menu.

Fixes

  • AI's pax-to-cargo conversion of aircraft in storage was too fast for game starts. The functionality is disabled at the game start, until the game has run for 4 years.

  • Rebrand Airline did not post the in-game news correctly in all cases, causing an error 500 to the user.

  • Fixed a minor issue with search engine XML sitemap.

  • User profile's viewing page gave out a database error if user had joined a game but had no existing airlines.

  • Fixed minor display issues with alliance icons and former airline names on Statistics page.

  • Airline Status Bar dropdown menu showed behind the main content on some tablet devices.

  • Enter keypress to save route editor did not always work.

  • AI brokers did not always order new aircraft.

  • Airline Information page's "Route timetables" section did not display techstop airports correctly.
