Nicosia was patched to the latest version just a few minutes ago. On top of that we prepared a new update for Aquila, our central account management platform. Primarily this update consists of two new features: A recommendation feature which allows you to tell a friend about AirlineSim and thereby earn free credits as well a long anticipated account deactivation feature. Please note that both new addons are still in testing, so please report any bugs or problems you may encounter to support@airlinesim.aero. You can find the complete list of AirlineSim changes after the break.

Upcoming: New staff features
Friday, September 25th, 2009
Since AirlineSim first appeared based on our currently employed technology, the human resources features have been nothing but a shadow of their former self. When doing the switch from the old framework to the new one, some parts of AS simply went overboard due to time constraints or because they were simply “overlooked”. So as promised on the forums and elsewhere, this topic will be one of the last big ones we will definately tackle to some extend in the 1.3 branch.

Bringing AirlineSim to the market
Saturday, September 19th, 2009
It has been a while since I last reported from the hangar. That’s because the “hangar” now is an actual office. Well, in some way at least: I moved to a different city which kept me away from doing AirlineSim-related work for a few days but on the other hand resulted in a new appartment with my first ever dedicated room just for work. Within this environment my favourite daily schedule would look something like this: get up late, grab some coffee and unhealthy food, lock myself into the office, do programming all day long, chat with the team and fans every now and then, leave the office at some late hour of the day. Unfortunately, besides the fact that my girlfriend would probably be gone after a few days of practicing this schedule, there are many more aspects to “making AirlineSim” than just writing the code.

Our next game world: Choose a name!

Our server maintance went about flawless so the downtime probably was hardly noticed. While I’m at posting here anyway, I want to guide your attention towards a poll on our forums which you are invited to participate in:
Soon our second international server will see the light of the day. And as all our servers, this new one will of course be named after a now defunct airport of some relevance to commercial aviation. We have put together a list of five such airports and now it’s up to you to pick your personal favourite. So head over to the forums and make your vote!

I want to inform you that Aquila (our account management system) and Nicosia will be down for maintenance tomorrow. We expect the downtime to last around 20 to 30 minutes if everything works as anticipated. Thank you for your understanding.
