Here are the changes for this week:
Refuel All FBOs
To facilitate FBO management, a Refuel All FBOs button has been added to the My FBOs page:
You can indicate the maximum % of filling you need for 100LL and JET.
Sight Seeing POIs details
A map displaying the POIs is now available on the POI details popup
Profit per NM
A Profit per NM column has been added in the logistic center
Race’s leaderboard are open
This week, as planned, we open the leaderboard for the 3 first races.
The first set is located near the Grand Canyon, near the 1G4 airport that is on the USA tour path (departure at KGCN), and is reserved for Single and Multiple Piston Aircraft. There is a separate leaderboard for each class.
You can fly only with the flight plan or the OnAir map, but if you want to display 3D markers in MSFS, you can install the OnAir Checkpoint Marker Package into your MSFS Community folder: https://www.onair.company/downloads/
To start a race….
Click on the Activities button on the Dashboard, or use the Activities menu (My Company/Operations Management/Activities)
When you register, the race ticket is displayed in your pending jobs:
The Race path is displayed on the map with all the checkpoints:
The checkpoints need to be validated in the same order as indicated on the map.
To start flying, just load your ticket in the aircraft preparation page and you are ready to compete:
You can load a flight plan containing the Race checkpoints using the Load Flight Plan in Simulator button:
When you fly under the Starting point you got the race departure sound, and the timer starts
There are no penalties applied for bank, pitch, overspeed, GForce, stall during the race, until you reach the finish marker.
To validate a checkpoint, you need to fly UNDER the cone marker within 1000 ft radius. You hear a sound when the point is validated and a confirmation is displayed in your In Game Tips.
When all checkpoints are validated, you need to land at the indicated airport: KGCN for Phantom Ranch Climb and Canyon Up & Down, KGPA for Colorado Run.
Be aware that the MSFS Active Pause doesn’t stop the Clock in the Simulator.
Race Travel token
When you register to any Race, you got free travel token to the start airport as long as you don’t finish the race. You can abort the race mid-flight without losing your registration ticket.
There is also a Transport button available in the pending jobs list:
Beta MSFS In-game panel
Last week, we introduced an In-Game panel for MSFS. The panel is available when you fly in VR.
The flight-tracking status is now displayed in this panel
To use the panel for MSFS, download the OnAir Panel package and copy it to your MSFS Community add-on Directory: https://www.onair.company/downloads/
To display the panel, enable it from the custom toolbar menu:
