Minor bugfixes

Various minor fixes after the v.1.4 upgrade.

Fixes

• Landing runway limitation calculation had a typo, causing too strict payload limitations in some rare cases.
  
  
• Copying route to the next day did not allow the same flight number to be used.
  
  
• Route planning page did not show airline's market share pie charts.
  
  
• Used aircraft viewing produced an error page in some cases.
  
  
• Airport aircraft size limitations were not correctly checked for techstop routes.
  
  
• Route sales and revenue chart did not always show the data of the previous day (today-1), but started from one day prior instead (today-2).
  
  
• Improved the speed of the scheduling page by removing some duplicate data loading.
  
  
• Route history view's financial info did not show cargo with imperial units (lbs), only with metric (kg).
  
  
• Some techstop route times did not convert properly from v.1.3 to v.1.4. A batch run has been done to correct this data.

Minor bugfixes

Still some more minor fixes after the v.1.4 upgrade.

Updates

• AI aircraft brokers can now order planes of different MTOW/Engine variants from the new aircraft manufactures.

Fixes

• The runway requirement calculation has been reverted back to v.1.3 for current running games. The minor alterations to make it more accurate for the landing runway calculations caused a bit too big changes for some of the player's routes which were on the edge of the aircraft performance. All new games will use the new calculation.
  
  
• Route editor now saves all the arrival times of each techstopped route leg correctly ( = all scheduling issues should be now fine).
  
  
• "Routes with no aircraft" filter fixed at manage routes page.
  
  
• Schedule search highlights the resulting routes again.
  
  
• Techstop airports did not always switch to the new airport upon airport closure/relocation.
  
  
• Route planning and airport timetables did not show the correct flight number for return legs (showed the outbound number, i.e. current-1, instead).
  
  
• Added some missing info/warning texts to route information page.
  
  
• Easy Start wizard did not always show a proper warning if no suitable aircraft was found for the chosen type of airline.
  
  
• "View only my routes" at route planning pages produced some internal errors, fixed.
  
  
• When a game did not have cargo features enabled, the cargo numbers were still displayed at expanded route information listing.
  
  
• Buying an exactly 25.0 year old aircraft from used market produced an error due to depreciation calculation (which ends at 25.0yrs age).
  
  
• Airport slot count did not always update during airport transfer from old to new airport. Should always have at least the amount of slots the old airport had.
  
  
• In some very special case airport transfers (one airport closes, another downgrades, while new third airport opnes) the route image values did not always move correctly to the new airport.
  
  
• The messages sent to players during airport transfer sometimes used the techstop airport as the name of the destination.
  
  
• Moving routes from one fleet to another did not always work when routes with techstops were involved, due to a missing time zone data for some routes.

Updates to route financial views, and other minor changes and fixes

Updates

• Route Information page's Financial Info segment, My Aircraft page's Weekly Financial Estimate and Assigned Routes tables, and Dashboard's Average Load Factors table all now show data also from the current ongoing week, in the case the previous week's statistics are not available (i.e. new route or new airline). In normal cases the stats always show the previous week (days -7 to -14), in comparison to the week prior to that (days -15 to -21).
  
  
• In a similar way to the previous item, the Routes section main page also shows always "Ongoing week" values, and hides "Last week" and "Week before" if no data is always.
  
  
• Bankruptcy page now displays the name of the currently selected game world in a big warning, to avoid mistakes.
  
  
• South African aircraft registration prefix is corrected to ZS-.
  
  
• Nagoya airports updated: The old Nagoya airport (RJNA) does not close in 2005, but instead downgrades as a domestic airport. Any airline HQ'ed at this airport will still move to the new Nagoya airport (RJGG) at this time, like before.
  
  
• Minor adjustment to aircraft's age-relative fuel burn factor to favour brand-new aircraft (no burn increase when a/c is less than 6 months old).
  
  
• Two obsolete internal features removed: 'Permanent/Pre-assigned alliances' and 'Game-specific logo template'.
  
  
• Minor improvement the display of Load Factory history bar charts when there was only a few days of history data to show; the data bars are thinner/better looking now.

Fixes

• Statistics main page showed the wrong title for cargo tables when imperial units was selected.
  
  
• Price Management page showed the airport codes in wrong order when IATA code format was in use.
  
  
• Route Information page did not show the 'expanded statistics' table if only 1 or 2 days of history was available.

Others

• Note that a general cleanup of feature requests forum will also take place with duplicate, obsolete and non-planned items are to be closed.
