vAMSYS 5.2.13

Fixes and hotfixes applied during development holiday:

  • Tweak to midnight jobs dispatcher to better handle congested times - like midnight UTC

  • Updates to Discord Notification dispatcher to not attempt to send discord messages to VAs which no longer have a linked Discord Server

  • Fixes to internal METAR fetcher and processor to improve handling of some edge cases

  • Fixes to custom Page when component width was somehow not provided

  • Prevent showing Activities in Phoenix if the setup contains airports which no longer exist - in these cases, the Pilot will be returned to dashboard with a notification prompting them to alert VA so they can fix the Activity

  • Attempted a fix for rare cases when Profile page will fail due to lack of Pilot Statistics

  • Improved handling of 'departure_time', 'arrival_time' and 'flight_length' fields in Route Import so the import does not get stuck in a loop in edge cases where the input bypasses initial validation.

  • Added more timezone fixes when using Time Helper in Dispatch to match between outdated and new timezone names reported by browser;

  • Backend changes to how Public Name of the user is stored to facilitate future improvements to Flight List generation bottleneck

  • Added 3 information columns in Airport export - Airport ID, ICAO and IATA;

  • Fixes to ‘midnight’ job dispatcher for Activity detection, Holiday entitlement reset and Removed Pilot Digest to take into account timezone differences

  • Tweaked various job dispatch times and delays as well as worker amounts to better split the load at the start of the hour when many various jobs are dispatched; This ought to lead to better database performance and decreased/eliminated timeout issues related to it;

  • Pegasus CSV Generator - fixed instances where airport names will have double quotes causing issue with the CSV format;

  • Fixed Route Importer not saving departure, arrival and flight length times,

  • Fixed Route Importer/Exporter column names noting hhmm when the format is hh:mm;

  • Added the option to remove Permanently removed flag from deleted pilots via Pilot table actions in Orwell

  • Restoring pilot account will remove Permanently Removed flag from all pilot accounts

Changes as part of 5.2.13 proper:

  • Added Booking Type indicator in book flight map and Dispatch Route pages;

  • For special route/booking types with scoring restrictions, notice saying so has been added to Dispatch page;

  • Fixed point multiplier percent not showing correctly in Activity View page in Phoenix - it will now list 200% as Points: 2x instead of Points: 200;

  • Fixed Airport Importer lower-casing preferred alternate codes; Adjusted logic to handle lowercase codes in the Diversion Airport Picker;

  • Fixed SimBrief dispatch referring to the old fuel units entered prior to 5.2

  • Fixed Claims not moving Pilot to intended destination airport

  • Fixed Claim PIREPs not showing in Phoenix Dashboard component

  • Adjusted Can see Airline Statistics permission to affect Orwell Dashboard components
