This update brings major overhauls and a host of improvements for a smoother, more reliable experience.

Menu Overhaul

We’ve redesigned the menus and introduced a new way to add your favorite shortcuts to the menu bar. Now you can choose exactly which pages appear in your shortcut bar.

Custom Regular Route Enhancements

• Route Set Generation: You can now generate an entire route set based on an existing airline’s route or your favorite airports.

• Overriding Assignments: It is now possible to override aircraft or crew assignments directly on the routes list page, giving you more control over your operations.

Industries Beta

We are approaching the end of the industries beta which is planned for end of June.

As planned, system-generated goods will be gradually phased out so that players can take full control. Our ultimate goal is to eliminate system-generated goods altogether. To achieve this, a mechanism now disables system selling points as soon as any player vendor is present in the sector. This feature has been active for testing purpose on some goods for some time and will soon extend to all goods.

The end of the beta will coincide with upcoming balance adjustments, and new production chains.

An economy driven by users:

After this first step, along with the industries beta end, we will extend the mechanism to all sellable objects in the game, mainly aircraft. However, we will always introduce system selling points when no player is selling a given good or object in your area.
