v6.10.1 - 2024-05-31
This is a hotfix to address some major pain-points of the 6.10 release. More improvements to the flight planning interface are currently being discussed and will be implemented soon.
Changed
- Re-arranged rows in flight planner so arrival times are further up and closer to departure offsets. Experimental.
- Only increase fuel consumption once deviation from optimum cruise speed is greather than 1 km/h to avoid performance errors due to arrival time rounding issues.
Fixed
- Flight planner on small screens: Hide arrival timezone label, set minimum width for time fields so selected values are always visible.
v6.10.2 - 2024-06-10
Fixed
- Scheduling “hypothetical flights” (fixed arrival time but no aircraft assignment) works again.

- Buochs/BXO: fixed IATA code and coordinates

Added
- Arrival times can be moved to earliest/latest value based on max/min aircraft speed. Use with caution!
- Arrival times can be moved backward and forward across all flight days.
Changed
- Moving to next/previous arrival slot in flight planning interface will use minimum offset. Example: Given an arrival time of 12:51, after moving to the previous slot the new arrival time will be 12:49 rather than 12:46 (= 12:51 - 5).
- Configure Free game worlds to start with used aircraft and without countries open for investment.
Fixed
- Regression in initial collection of flight instancing dates.
- Berlin/THF: re-added closing date to avoid it being created in (new) game worlds
Internal
- More efficient menu structure for internal admin/moderation pages.
