Regular Routes
We implemented many user requests about the routes, the main one being that you can now fly a route anytime during the week (from Monday UTC 2 to Monday). Onair will set the correct time and date in your sim when starting the flight tracking.
We also added a grid view
It’s the last beta period for the regular routes feature that we will officially release in about two weeks.
There is no data reset or data loss for beta testers.
After release, we will, of course, keep adding enhancements and QOL. If you feel that essential features are still missing, please send us feedback in a ticket with category ‘Routes’.
New Company Creation Process
To facilitate new players onboarding, we now propose 3 starting modes:
Route company: Start your career by doing freelance regular route jobs before creating your own company routes.
It’s a great way to start without making any loans to buy your first aircraft.
Charter company: Start your career with charter jobs: goods transport, rescue missions, sightseeing, medical transport, executives, etc.
There is an option to start with a 1 million credit starting Loan. It will grant you enough capital to rent or lease a basic airliner and place you in a separate leaderboard.
Industrial company: Start your career by creating a simple factory and trading goods via delivery contracts.
Your company begins with a basecamp construction kit, an ore detector, and enough lumbers and steel bars to construct the first production zones.
Choosing any mode will still allow to use all the features of OnAir and only affects the starting resources of your company.
Other Changes
- Increased Medical Transport jobs pay.
- Fixed Work order needed fuel computation after diverted leg
- Fixed wrong weight unit in an FBO workshop field
- Fixed issue when deleting a community-created Tour
- Fixed cargo fees applied to delivered cargo when some of the legs of the job were not completed
What’s next
We will now focus on the work orders feedback we got in the past months.
We also open a separate channel in our Discord to discuss this subject.
We are also working on the next step of industries beta, making use of produced items like electronic components and adding new production chains.
