Changelog

Maintenance pucks have been totally re-worked - modals now are simplified (removing the OOOI items you'd normally see in the flight create/edit modals).

Maintenance pucks can now contain multiple notes, same as flights.

Gate pucks now auto-update when flights are delayed, deleted or cancelled.

A new minimum turn time alert is on the gate gantt now, similar to the one on the main schedule gantt.

The schedule and gate gantt now feature a brand new alert system that will popup whenever SOC does any major operational changes (cancellations, delays, diversions, etc). Visible only to ops and above.

Snags created by the bot now also open a techlog item on the aircraft for MCC to investigate/close.

The system now pulls real-world ground stop and GDP data (courtesy of the FAA's NAS) and alerts on flight pucks and via the OPS Discord channel whenever a flight is impacted. Runs a check every 15 mins, with a cooldown as well so duplicates aren't happening in theory.

Changed how swaps are executed which should speed up performance when in sandbox mode.

Snagbot is back! The odds have been updated to be much less insane as in earlier testing - now, one aircraft will be AOG weekly-ish, not every day or something dumb. Odds can differ, so watch out.

Pilot-flown flights are excluded from the flights that could be snagged by the bot.

When an APU inflight start or autoland test fails, MCC will be pinged in Discord. Otherwise, nothing.

The snagbot odds can be adjusted (or just turned on/off) in the MELs page, adjustable by staff (duh).

Around 300 new snags have been seeded into the site for more variety.

GDP/GS boxes now show on the schedule gantt if a flight is directly impacted in the timeframes. The boxes are also cached for 24 hours for review by ops if needed.

Flying routes off schedule didn't remove them from bids when completed.

Open time flights was restricted to only flights without pairings containing them - now features all flights on the network, only restricting if someone has the pairing for it already.

Added a departure time change option in the SimBrief planning page for those flying off-sked.

The system now uses real-world fuel prices (and estimates for the rare few locations that don't have prices available) for PIREP financial details and analysis

A profitability calculator has been added to the route plan page for operations, allowing to make an educated guess on a route's likelihood of success before actually creating flights.

Removed the requirement for a flight to be within 3 hours for a pilot to check in and start generating their briefing.

A new "check in" option appears on the page when a new open flight/pairing is picked up, saving users the extra step of going to the schedule page just to get there.

Added a new homepage instead of the default page just being the schedule gantt with no context.

The mobile navbar wasn't showing on some pages - that should be resolved now.

Bidding a flight or pairing could incorrectly show "exceeds 14-hour duty period" and block the bid, even when your actual schedule was within legal duty limits. This happened most often when you already had other bids nearby in the same month with normal overnight turnarounds. The duty-time check now uses the same FAA Part 117 calculation as schedule generation, so it correctly recognizes legal rest periods instead of falsely merging separate trips together.

Fuel onboard was only persisted to the aircraft when a PIREP auto-accepted via ACARS

Added a FOB column to the aircraft table page.

Turns out using AirNav for fuel prices was giving FBO prices, notably higher than commercial agreements. Reverted this to a standard calculation that should be more realistic.

Exposed delays and cancellations and their details to the API so the ACARS can display.

Bug was causing the weather briefing to not be publishable, causing a 500 error.

The weather briefing now has a small display on the main dashboard when published for the current day, so pilots don't miss it.

The PHPVMS export tool from v2 has been replaced with a load factor editor, which fuels the Sabre system that generates load factors for flights automatically.

Aircraft types were being stored in a passive state, meaning deleted aircraft would remain as-is in records when they had been updated. This meant pilot logbooks showed things like "737-800SSW" and "737-800BW" instead of just "B738" for grouping.

Added a Discord push when a new member registers to flag staff.

Maintenance techlog entries now flag in the Discord maintenance channel, instead of management.

The gate plot was loading all flights, instead of just flights in the selected time range, slowing the processing down for plotting.

Upgraded how gate plot loading works for pucks, leading to faster loads when moving items around.

The gate plotting system was auto-assigning with no real priority for grouping gates, so you'd see 8 flights on 8 gates when they could fit on a couple. Upgraded logic for this.

SimBrief wasn't pulling the STD/ETD from the flight when generating OFPs.

A badge now shows on the techlog table when an aircraft has an open snag in the book for clearer identification.

The schedule and gate gantt modal popups are now all moveable (dragging the header section).

A new live date/time clock has been added to the schedule and gate gantts, showing the date/time wherever the user's mouse is located.

Users on mobile weren't able to access the menu button(s).

Refreshed the UI of the right-click menu on the schedule gantt to not just be a list.

The route plan page now includes a map version, which can be narrowed down by airport to see frequency on each route.

Added a flight number checker on the route page, which scans to confirm it is not already in use. This will also be on the flight creation modal.

Made the dark grey on the flight info popup slightly less dark grey.

taxi out/in times are now factored and are used to calculate estimated times, which will properly adjust pucks on the schedule gantt so users get an accurate idea if a taxi takes abnormally long.

Weather briefing publishing was causing a 500 error due to a missing folder in the structure.

Welcome to the initial release of Dashboard3! There's almost too much to cover here, but most importantly... this version integrates full crew ability and the new SKBAcars client into the system. New updates will be posted here accordingly.

Snags were occurring too often - fixed a few bugs that could cause that, and also lowered the general odds.

Flights were not delaying properly when using a ETD editor over the "total delay time" option.

Flights were not showing as "arrived" unless someone inputted actual times in the flight specified. The system now will show flights as arrived if they pass their scheduled time with no actual times present to override it.

Airports now have stars for hubs

The Airports page now has a Adhoc section for airports with data, but not currently on the active schedule.

Actual times in the dashboard are required for both OFF and IN to calculate the actual flight time.

You can now connect to PHPVMS using your API key by clicking your name in the navbar (where you can also change password, etc.

If connected to PHPVMS, you can bid on a flight through the gantt directly, just right click on a flight.

Play in the sandbox! Staging mode moves and tail swaps now queue as pending changes (shown with amber dashed outline) instead of applying immediately. The board reflects the proposed arrangement before anything is committed.

"Execute" sends all queued changes to the server in sequence. "Discard" wipes the queue and reloads from server state. Live polling automatically pauses while changes are pending.

Conflict detection runs live against staged changes — turn mismatches, short turns, gate conflicts, and duplicate flight numbers all update in real time before you hit Execute.
