New Airline Company start.

To answer to players that don’t want the initial challenge and want to start with an airbus or boeing, there is now a new way to create a company and fly with an airliner right from the start.

• Begin at level 3
• Access to 1.5 M loan allowing to rent an airliner
• Pre build FBO at your base
• JET Certification granted
• 1 copilot and 2 attendants already hired
• Separate Leaderboard

This feature is in Beta for a couple of weeks.

Flight hours per aircraft class display

The Ranks page is available from the My Company menu. It displays your Account total flight hours (for all your companies even if deleted) for each aircraft class. A rank is granted depending on the flight hours:

The Flight hours needed for each rank depend on the aicraft class:

	Rank 1	Rank 2	Rank 3	Rank 4
SEPL, SEPS,MEPL,MEPS,ULM, GLD, HELO	20	50	100	300
SETS,METS,METL,SETL	50	100	200	500
JET, HEAVYJET	50	100	500	1000

The current ranks are computed in the background on our servers and will be available about 1 hour after the world start.

Freelance jobs

Want to try a new aircraft?

With these jobs, you can fly with any aircraft you don’t want to buy or rent and still get the XP, reputation, and flying hours in OnAir.

These are jobs with zero responsibilities, paying the pilot wages independently of the transported payload.
Freelance pay depends on the flight distance, no aircraft management.
To start such a job, go to the logistic Center Freelance tab, load any aircraft at any airport in your sim, OnAir detects it and propose a bunch of jobs.

You can start any of those right away without any other configuration. The aircraft and crew are provided.

When done, you get wages for your Pilot work. The pay is varying between 2 and 10 times the average AI pilot wage.

Maintenances

The system updates needing the world being offline will only occur every two weeks. As usual, we will deploy updates on the fly when needed without stopping the world.

What’s Next

There will be a third update on the user interface and QOL Tuesday July 5^th before the whole team goes back to the industries work in progress. We cannot communicate on details yet, but it seems that we will be able to be on schedule at mid Q3 for the beta.
