Game setup change to Age of Flight and Airline Generations

[Sami]

The staff salary calculation rules in The Age of Flight and Airline Generations game worlds will change soon.

We recently asked for feedback, if we should implement the updated v.2.0 salary calculation rules also to these two, still long-running, game worlds and the vote was overwhelmingly "yes". Thus the update where the staff salaries are now counted based on each country's salary levels instead of company-wide based on the salary levels of the HQ airport will take effect also in these two games since they both have still a very long running time left and this is an important game balance and fairness update.

The change will affect your airline if you have based in multiple different countries, so please either turn on salary automation, or manually update salaries once the update is live (note; salary automation will not decrease the salaries, but you can do that manually, and in some cases your salaries will be lower after this update so please make sure to check and adjust as necessary!).

The Age of Flight will update on game date 1968-01-01, and Airline Generations on game date 2000-01-01.
