Per-callsign schedule tools, support and feedback in Helix, and configurable VATSIM Radar attribution.
What's new
-
Schedules by callsign
An airline flying several callsigns saw its entire schedule as one undifferentiated list. Routes now show which callsign they fly under, and the schedule can be filtered to one callsign or grouped by it. A new Export CSV button exports exactly what the table is showing, so filter to a callsign, export, and you have that callsign's schedule on its own. The export leads with the callsign and its parameter.
-
Feedback and bug reports from Helix
The floating support widget existed only on the crew portal. Helix now carries the same three entry points, Get Support, Report a Bug, Send Feedback, in the bottom-right of every page. Reports raised from Helix are stored and delivered exactly like those raised by pilots.
-
VATSIM Radar identity settings
Airline Settings → Online Networks gained two fields controlling what VATSIM Radar sees. VATSIM Radar VA Tag sets the short name filed after your telephony, so a long registered name no longer has to be the one on radar. VATSIM Radar Website sets the WEB= address, which previously came only from the website on your airline profile and was left off the flight plan entirely when that was empty.
What's improved
-
Callsign parameters can be edited again
Approved callsigns were locked end to end, so telephony, operator name, fleet restrictions and even the label could not be changed without going through vAOMS. Only the approved identity, ICAO code, IATA code and Identifier, stays locked now, because flight numbers and callsigns on existing routes are built from it. Everything else is yours. Each field now explains itself, including the Identifier: a short internal key used to tell your callsigns apart, never shown to pilots and never filed on a flight plan.
-
More Discord nickname formats
Four more layouts for synced Discord nicknames: First Name - Pilot ID, Pilot ID - First Name, Last Name - Pilot ID, and Pilot ID - Last Name, alongside the existing full-name and pilot-ID options. A pilot with no surname on record no longer ends up wearing a trailing separator.
What's fixed
- Dark mode reverted to light on every click. Livewire's page navigation copies the incoming page's <html> attributes over the live page and drops anything it does not carry, and the dark class only ever existed in the browser, so opening the live map, the timetable, or anything else in the sidebar reset the theme.
- The schedule's Ended filter returned a 500. The Winter season badge named an icon that does not exist, and seasonal routes are exactly what the Ended tab is full of.
- A callsign override was filed exactly as typed, so entering 5PC on a JAF route filed as 5PC instead of JAF5PC. Overrides now pick up the ICAO code of their callsign parameter, unless the callsign is already typed out in full.
- Exporting routes failed with "A non-numeric value encountered" for any route whose flight length was entered by hand, because the export read the value as seconds while the route form stores HH:MM.
