Server Provider related issues 16 Oct to 21 Oct / Missing historical position reports

Last week we were experiencing serious network issues due to an issue with a switch at our server provider. Full notes are available for VA Owners and Staff in our Discord #announcements section.

We expect historic position reports to be restored after 6th November when the final round of downtime in our primary server is complete.

Engine Cooldown / Flap Retraction Timers

v5, in our view desirably so, starts engine cooldown and flap retraction timers after landing - i.e. after the plane has touched down and slowed down sufficiently to start taxi phase.

If this behaviour is not desirable, Cooldown and Flap Retraction scorers can be set to mimic v3 behaviour and start said timers on touchdown.

To make the change, you will need to delete scoring rules for 'Flaps not retracted after Landing and before Parking', 'Flaps retracted after Landing and before Parking', 'Engines Cooled Down' and/or 'Engines Not Cooled Down' scoring rules and add them back with your preferred rule parameter for timer start. You only need to make this change if you wish to change the timer start to be based on touchdown.

Query refactoring and general improvements

Big focus over this week was on database queries we execute and jobs we dispatch to our worker and attempts to improve/minimise them as needed. We have made significant progress in eliminating some duplicate queries being run on every page load. Fixing this technical debt does not offer massive performance increase (maybe 0.2s off of page load time), but is nonetheless desirable. This technical debt remediation work is still ongoing across vAMSYS as we discover inefficiencies.

Various other tweaks and bug fixes

• URLs with www's in some emails leading to broken pages

• Missing logos in some emails preventing emails from being sent

• Route Export using tags exporting routes of other VAs if they use same tags

• SimBrief ID is visible in the Aircraft table in Phoenix allowing pilots to easily spot if they entered a wrong ID and now are getting SB Dispatch errors regarding unknown type

• PIREP processing fixes in cases where on blocks or landing time is missing from the log

• Fixes for API erroring out when Pilot being retrieved does not have Statistics generated

• Fixes for some VA Alerts not being sent to Pegasus correctly

• Disabled viewing PIREPs when they are being processed

• Disabled staff options for Claim PIREPs

• Fixes to User/Pilot creation when VA does not utilise rules setting

• Phoenix Profile / VDS would show Airport name from another VA

• Fixes to Activity indicator in Phoenix Profile where it would not turn seconds into hours properly

• Orwell has an indicator now when a VA has a pending callsign review for their protected callsign

• Maps can now understand DMS coordinates when using 11 character notation

• Fix to 'Agreement' flag being incorrectly shown on Pilot Registration Review in some cases

• Increased SimBrief download list to show more than 50 options for users who do not use search and believe we are missing entries

• Fixes to Route Comparison statistics where it would display wrong averages in cases of taxi time being awarded for PIREPs
