v0.5.0 Release Candidate

This is a beta release of the API. If there are no pending issues based on these changes, v0.5.0 will be locked in fully as a stable release.

Free Flights

Free flights are now in a basic working state. Enable the feature in smartCARS Central, and now you can create personalized flights within ACARS and fly them!

For the callsign field, If you supply just the flight number (e.g. 1242), your flight will be assigned automatically to the first airline in your system, or a airline ID you define in your .env file by using the SC3_CHARTER_AIRLINE_ID variable (e.g. SC3_CHARTER_AIRLINE_ID=1 for airline id 1).

If you supply a ICAO or IATA code with the flight number (e.g. DAL1421 or DL1421, the API will search to see if that code exists in the system. If it cannot find it, it'll fallback to the first airline in your system or what's set in the env variable.

Aircraft Selection & Schedule Search

A common complaint has been surrounding the bids, where all the aircraft were assigned to every flight. This issue has been finally solved, with a few bonus items!

• If no subfleet is assigned to the flight, all the aircraft in the system will be available for use.
• If subfleets are assigned, only the subfleets assigned to that flight are viewable.
• If your bid has an aircraft assigned to it, or you used SimBrief on you phpVMS installation directly, Only the aircraft you bid will be shown, without the dropdown too! (You must have the Bids->Restrict Aircraft setting in phpVMS enabled for this to work)

The aircraft list has also been sorted, so now you should have a easier time scrolling through the available aircraft in the system.

PIREP Distances

Previously, PIREPs didn't have distances. Now they do. The calculation is now achieved by the logged telemetry on the system.

This module includes code that will retroactively calculate smartCARS 3 PIREPs with the distance missing via the nightly cron that is scheduled to run at 0100Z every day.
