Damn... That makes me want to become a winter bird now... xD

Been working on a quick flight option today. Here's what it looks like so far. This is almost a carbon copy of how CA worked, minus the itinerary.
I think once this is set up and working, and I get a few other basic things done, I can unlock the site and begin alpha/beta testing (not sure what to call it at this early stage). Route creation is on hold for now, I may need to re-think how I want to proceed with that system as it's pretty complicated. But once quick flights are ready, we can start experimenting with formulas, setting ticket prices, passenger loads and so forth, which is really the main purpose of testing.

Looking good!
RE: Progress Report - ryanfairellis97 - 01-25-2017
Looks so good. Can't wait to get testing!!

That looks great! Are JFK and George Bush Intercontinental the flight options in this case? I mean...where it's possible to fly? And so you select from that list?
RE: Progress Report - Unknown98 - 01-25-2017
Yes. So, you go to your fleet page, click a little arrow icon that takes you to the quick flight page. Then depending on the aircraft's range and runway requirement you get a list of possible destinations. You have to be leasing a gate there as well, of course.

Not sure if I've shown you guys this page yet, but here's how the Airline Overview page is coming along so far. Some of the financial bits are still not implemented but the other data is there.

Looks very simple and familiar, which is great as post-CA players will want to adjust quickly to the new platform!
RE: Progress Report - asianmattdog - 01-31-2017
Like it, love it, and I want more of it. Keep up the work!

So obviously there's been lots of updates recently, but there is still a ways to go before I'm ready to release public beta. The main things, in a rough order of importance:
1. Clean data - go through the airports DB and clean up the data, add missing data, etc. Make sure every airport is complete and correct. Minus the cargo numbers, those can wait.
2. Daylight Savings Time - I'm working on this now, I have the formulas working in-game to deal with DST but what I don't have entirely set up yet is the database that stores when DST starts/ends for particular regions of the world. Still have to compile most of that data. This kinda depends on finishing #1 though.
3. Passengers - Create passengers, and develop a demand formula. Right now aircraft can fly, but they do not actually transport any passengers.
4. Flight management - Create a page to view all active flights, and display detailed information about each flight. Create ability to assign flight numbers.
5. Financials - Right now there are no financial transactions in the game. Yes, you can purchase aircraft and gates but the money is not actually subtracted from the airline. I held back on this so far to make it easier on me for testing purposes. I need to implement financial transactions into the game and come up with a way to display financial information/reports for airlines.
6. Gate usage - Make aircraft actually "use" the gates, and create an intelligent system to determine which of your gates are currently in use. Then implement that into the flight formula.
7. Gate management - Give airlines the ability to manage their gates. Cancel & extend gate leases, view utilization %'s, and so on. Essentially, finish the gate system.
8. Airport page - Create page that displays detailed information for each airport.
9. Sort Airports - Implement search/sort functionality into the airport list page.
There's other, less important things as well, such as creating a private messaging system, create a password recovery page, and a few user management things for the back-end. I'm still probably forgetting some. Then, there's the other big 3 features that I haven't even touched yet: Employees, Infrastructure & Routes. Those are 3 huge parts of the game. Whether I will work on them prior to open beta, or leave them until after, I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking I will probably work on these during public beta.
Oh, and then we have aircraft leasing and the used aircraft market. Both of which, again, have not been touched yet.
I just wanted to give you guys an idea of what's "left" so to speak, and write it all down in one place so I can check off the boxes as I finish things. We have done a lot, but there is still a lot to be done.
