The entire process of creating a new Alliance 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 Create Alliance page is divided into three sub "control panels", based on the step you are in the process. First is the actual alliance creation, second is managing the invitations, and third step is the listing the alliance in public (which actually creates the alliance forums).
The alliance can now be formed with only two founder airlines, with the option to invite a third one too.
There is a possibility to cancel the sent founder invitations.
Also a new possibility to cancel the entire alliance creation process.
The invited members have the chance to give a reason why they decline the alliance application.
There are no longer any fees or costs or other rules/limits (such as airline age or fleet size) related to alliance creation, they can always be set up directly when the game starts without a setup fee.
Compared to previous, the new third step in alliance creation is that the alliance creation must be confirmed by one of the founding members from the "control panel" of the Create Alliance page. The alliance founders can track on the status of the invitations they send out for founding members, and when at least two founding members have accepted the invite (the original creator + one other), the alliance is eligible for founding.
The alliance creation process now sends better invitation messages, and also in-game news, appropriate for each step of the process.
Improvements
The airline status bar "slider" icons in mobile view are made a bit larger (the airline status bar can be scrolled with slide gesture, or by clicking either of the three dots below it).
Technical improvements on some shared game functions of v.2.0 game core.
Fixes
Aircraft "ramp check" feature incorrectly took into account routes without slots, when determining if the plane was actually flying or not.
