After changes in 5.2.7 to Dispatch page, we’ve added some goodies to the View Booking Page:

Change Booking Details
Pilots can now change their Callsign (with IVAO/VATSIM checker, like in Dispatch page), Flight Number (if changes are enabled) and the Network booked without having to redispatch the entire flight.
Manual SimBrief
Manual SimBrief option is making a return, if enabled by the VA in Orwell -> HQ -> Settings -> Booking & Dispatch -> Enable Manual SimBrief.
Manual SimBrief is the inferior option when compared to full fledged SimBrief Dispatch via Dispatch Page as it is severy limited on what information can be passed via URL; It will never be as good as the our primary integration.
There are further tweaks to make in future vAMSYS 5.2 iterations, but the initial return of this function does work and - manual SB dispatches will sync up to vAMSYS automatically, just like the changes made to the OFP when Dispatching via SimBrief.
For Manual SimBrief to be available, it needs to be enabled by the VA and the Pilot needs to have Navigraph Account linked.
View Booking Page Future
We are planning to tackle a bigger overhaul of the View Booking page, courtesy to some great feedback and sketches provided by Stu - a pilot in one of the VAs. We thank him for the effort to put this to us and you can look forward to View Booking page being a bit more organised and easier to follow.
Phoenix - Event Map Markers
Added the option to color Event and Focus Airport activity type airports red, like in v3.

Virtual Airlines may enable it in Orwell → HQ → Settings → Booking & Dispatch → Show Event and Focus Airport Marker on Maps. The marked airports are Departure Airports only for visible Activities in Event and Focus Airport type.
Orwell → Rank Scorer
Added a new PIREP Scorer - Rank Points. When enabled, will award set points for pilots having selected ranks.
Orwell → PIREPs Count Badge
Added two more fields - Callsign and Route Tags to further narrow down who the badge is awarded to.
Orwell → Booked Aircraft Highlight
[Image: ]
Added additional options in Orwell → HQ → Settings → Booking & Dispatch for highlighting booked aircraft in Dispatch.
Orwell → Discord Settings
Added Discord notifications for Activities - similar to how Alerts and NOTAMs work.
Phoenix → Other Changes
Event Page for Tours/Rosters - remove ‘Airport’ and ‘International’ from airport names from legs table so it all fits into table without sideways scrolling; For international ‘Airport’ and ‘International’ equivalents VAs should remove them from their airport names as they are superflous and just take up the space.
Fixed Curated Rosters not expiring.
Added ‘Only where I am Registered’ toggles in Event and Curated Roster filters.
Orwell → Other Changes
Added Badge description in the table in Phoenix when viewing badge recipients.
When Accepting PIREP Claims, it will no longer override any manually entered points or bonus points
Point and Bonus Point presets were using Preset name in points, not the ‘Content’
Next Up
5.2.8 has a bit shorter changelog than 5.2.7 and there are many things which did not make it to 5.2.8 today. You can see a full list of things we want to tackle for 5.2.9 onwards here.
