Change log:

• Potential fix for Last Flight Incomplete not clearing
• Fixed missing GPS file upload link
• Added OOOI time and FOB to ACARS position reporting (use for DX)

A number of other fixes are included however the details of those were lost in project syncing.

A known issue that will be addressed in a future update is when you open User Setup but fail to complete the Pilot data portion and save at least 1 FS version Main Directory and Flights Directory, you will be presented with multiple error popups. Until this is fixed, please be sure to complete the "Globe Cargo Info" section and point to at least 1 FS version directories and click save.

A new Pilot Manual (PM) has been published. The revision numbering has been changed from an incremental digit to 1st or 2nd half of the year and 2 digit year. The revision now available is 1H22 (1st Half 2022). The intention is to update the PM twice per year regaurdless of how much information has changed.

Much of this update was to address the differences between the old website and our new website. More screenshots were added, a few policy changes, and more aircraft models added to the approved list. All changes are indicated by the changebars in the left margin.

Report errors or suggestions to staff for consideration in future revisions.

A new schedule has been uploaded and will be available for bidding during the next bid period.

Here are the stats from the current and new schedule. The "Active" schedule stats are for the currently available schedule. The "Standby" schedule stats are for the schedule that goes into effect on April1st.

First, I'd like to thank our Corporate Fleet Commission members: #2881 - Michael Erdelyi, #3269 - Stirling Day and all of our Staff. There was much debate and discussion before we came to an agreement on the make-up of our corporate fleet.

Without further adoo, here is our new corporate fleet and models per sim:

P3D
King Air 350i: Milviz (https://milviz.com/flight/products/KA350/index.php)
Dassault Falcon 50: Flysimware (https://www.flysimware.com/FLYSTORE_2015/en/home/40-flysimware-s-falcon-50.html)
**Boeing 787-9: QualityWings (http://www.qualitywingssim.com/v.2.0.1.8/Boeing-787.php)

**The 787 will be replaced by the Eaglesoft Challenger 605 upon its release and verification of quality. (https://www.eaglesoftdg.com/Pages/c605_development_B.htm)

X-Plane 11
King Air 350: Airfoil Labs (https://store.x-plane.org/King-Air-350_p_969.html)
Dassault Falcon 50 EX: Carenado (https://www.carenado.com/sitecarenado/product/fa50-xplane-11/)
Bombardier Challenger 650: Hot Start (https://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/product_info.php/take-command-hot-start-challenger-650-p-212)

The idea behind these selections is that there is one short range, one medium range, and one long range option. The Challenger 650 could potentially be replaced by a longer range bizjet such as a Global 7500 however there isn't anything like that in development that we are aware of.

MSFS2020 doesn't have options for our operation as there aren't enough good models available just yet. As more models become available they will be evaluated and considered for the corporate fleet and support and announcements will be made at that time.

There is still work to be done on this project so these aircraft aren't ready to fly just yet. When they are officially launched you will be able to select them from the Atlas Charter board.

Titan Charter division will be closing effective February 1st.

When Titan was launched on November 18th, 2009 it was to allow us to offer different aircraft to fly. At that time Atlas/Polar operated only the 742/744 which left a lot to be desired for variety in our operation.

The real world operation has expanded to include most of the aircraft we offered via the Titan Charters. Because the real operation changed so much in the years since Titan opened, it has become a redundant operation here. Any route variability can be accomplish through Atlas Charters.

The closure of Titan also means we will drop Q400 support in addition to any other aircraft specific to Titan.
