• VAs can escalate VA Ban to Platform Ban.

• Updated end-user page listing the stated reason for a ban.

compatibility with v3.

• Orwell -> Design -> Phoenix Dashboard. NOTAMs component received pagination options.

Big Changes:

• Orwell -> Design -> Phoenix Dashboard

Phoenix Dashboard layout can now be customised beyond what was previously possible. Virtual Airlines can now

specify column layouts and place components as/where/when needed. Some components have their own settings too, making

it even more customisable.

This feature is set to grow with new components based on feedback received.

Hangar is our new file storage and download system for Virtual Airlines using vAMSYS and their pilots. It replaces clunky, inefficient and expensive solution

used previously - forums.

SSO via vAMSYS v5 allows unified and simple login, new Admin interface makes managing files a breeze. Pilots can make use of not only categories but

additional filters of addons and simulators. Download tracking gives our customers more insights into what is popular and in high demand by the community.

###

We are slowly migrating to our new set of servers in Germany. First step is now complete - provisioning our development, management and supervision tools on the new servers.

This is now done and dev versions of v5 and Hangar, not to mention this page and many others now live in the new servers. When v5 releases, it will live there as well.
