Backend updates
- A new backend calculation system of AirwaySim v.2.0 has been taken into use.
This is a complete technical refresh of the server-side calculation system of the simulation, and is using the same & latest technology that is used in our new website and new game pages, also allowing more flexible management and monitoring of the server-side calculations, and enabling us to build new features with more ease.
At first the new backend calculation will handle:
- The AI brokers' used aircraft market refreshes (posting of the planes to the market, managing their listing prices, and removing them if they are not selling).
- Some other AI brokers' stored aircraft management (making cargo conversions, and scrapping very old planes).
- The airport slot generation (random slot increases at the starting phase of the game, and later the slot changes after airport infrastructure expansions).
There are no visible changes to the users / simulation with this update since the basic functionality remains the same with some small improvements / tweaks.
- Removed Google Analytics.
- Improvements to the site's backend maintenance / cleanup processes.
- Improvements to error reporting / alerting systems at the site backend.
- Removing aircraft from sale on used market did not work on Apple's devices.
- French airlines could not open bases in some of the French territories (French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Wallis and Futuna).
