Please use this thread for the feedback of the test scenario.

Notes to testers:

- Please read the info from PM.

- Use General forum, and Bug forum, for the feedback.

- If possible use many different browsers to check the systems, since I haven't done that very much.

First thing I've spotted, I can't help noticing (and confirmed from a quick look by my girlfriend) the text on the light grey of the airline fleet page (fleet groups) looks like its blurred. It looks like its got a bit of a shadow.

A small "glitch" and a request.

You said the clock might be out of sync due to the quick game days, but not sure if this is part of it. At 23:59, for me, it gets stuck. The date changes, and the time will flash forward to the correct time every couple seconds, then go back to showing 23:59. The date stays correct. Clicking on a new page Iie. going to the dashboard) fixes the problem.

And the request. Regarding automatic aircraft numbering, is it possible to break it into subsets? I am ordering 737-3/4/5 and the -300's will start at B-1000, the -400's at B-1200 and the -500's at B-1500, but my only option is to number all 737-3/4/5 as if they were the same type. Being able to specify what each type should be numbered would make this tool much more useful.

This could be a noobish observation, but every plane seems to be classified as "Small Aircraft"

I attached a picture.

Aircraft size bug fixed. Everyone who had staff management at 'manual' was put to automatic due to this fix, and everyone has now the proper number of (correct) staff hired. Feel free to put it back to manual if you like.


Also: If it's a bug please report it at Bug forum

Maybe sounds a bit stupid, but it took me nearly two minutes to figure out how to accept the changed colour.

The "enter"-button (I made a red quarter to point it out for people who haven't used the tool yet) is very logical - if one already figured out. Maybe a short description like at Step 3 how to accept the background colour could help people that are not very familiar with such things - especially if the audience for this tool are casual gamer.

"You cannot buy/lease any more used aircraft today your personnel is busy arranging the delivery of the aircraft you have already ordered today or in the past few days."

Should be "You cannot buy/lease any more used aircraft today as your personnel are busy arranging the delivery of the aircraft you have already ordered today or in the past few days."

There's no announcement board, so the function of the airline news etc. can't be tested in this way. I can imagine it's too time consuming such a board, so this is more an information about the situation.

I noticed that when you look at your route map with no routes instead of just showing your country with your base it just says that you have no active routes.

[Tujue]

» I just noticed the automatic aircraft register mode when trying the change airport codes to IATA codes. At the moment, can't order 'new' used aircraft at the moment. Did anyone checked this function?
» Warning at dashboard page about expired (A) check aircraft works fine!

The production list page is cluttered with fleet groups that are no longer in production.

Not sure if I can change that as the color dropper is a complete third-party module. ..or I mean I can, but it may take a bit work.

Perhaps the easiest if I just change the button to read "OK".

Oh yes, naturally that could have been tested .. Well, there isn't much magic in that so nevermind until real games.

The production list page is cluttered with fleet groups that are no longer in production.

Normal, and has been since 1.11. They stay there for a period before going away.

I noticed that when you look at your route map with no routes instead of just showing your country with your base it just says that you have no active routes.

Correct since it is a route map.

btw, first feedback after clicking through all menus etc.:

Very nice work, sami But you know people are like a cat on a hot tin roof till 1.3 real game worlds start, eh?


Edit:
I now know what I miss. I miss the livery in the big format it was in 1.1 and 1.2 :/ Maybe it could be in this big format under the information instead of the right side? The space is supposed to be used by base airports as far as I saw on the announcement board, but maybe under all that info?

Hi Sami

I noticed when you are working through route planning it only allows you to select the region you're based in.  The system doesn't allow you select another region for flights.

Thanks

Has anyone else noticed that planes like the MD-80's have a lower fuel consumption.

[Air Catalunya]

Hello, in the repair aircraft section, when I dialed repair to : 90%, the amount was 757 000USD for a B737-200.
Then I random dialed 60/70/80/90... and the amounts were a bit crazy, I finally dialed again 90% and the amount asked was 350 000USD, half of the amount askes the first time.

All MD-80s have the exact same fuel consumption than in previous gameworlds.

Working nicely for me

B744 was put up by ~ 2.000Kg/hr... 

[ArcherII]

I've also noticed that the MDs have nearly 600 kg/h better fuel consumption than in the current DOTM2.
