Create Route has now been updated with a new menu system.
I am very happy to announce that the Research Route has been updated and includes the first example of AJAX on Airline Mogul. This is very big news as AJAX removes the need to refresh a page in order to submit data, it can talk to the database while a page is sitting idle and be picking up the information required.
What has changed in this script is the ability to first select a continent, then an airport to depart and arrive from. On loading of the return result you then have a list of aircraft. In order to view what engine variants are available you must click on each aircraft. This will take a moment but reduces the load on the server and database along with pageload times also.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated on this ground breaking feature for the game and look forward to more examples of this to be rolled out over the coming weeks.

Pretty neat. If it reduces the loads on the server, then I'm all for it. Is there a way to toggle if you want to start your search by continent or list all airports?
In addition, is there a way to add a link on the page to create a route with the given depature and arrival airports already filled in (to the Create Route - Route Details page)? Now THAT would be slick.
-
cool! :P
finally....don't have to scroll down for thousand times...... :lol:
-
yay. Neat improvement! 8)

Thanks.. I remember in the 2000's round... it was very slow waiting for all those Boeing variants to get loaded :lol:
-
It's great that you've implemented some form of AJAX to this page, it's a very powerful tool.
However, the new way of selecting airports to research is a real pain in my neck, sometimes I have to research over 100 routes in one sitting - it doesn't remember my last selected departure airport.
I for one would like to see the old method of selecting the airports back - or at least available to use, in conjunction with the AJAX changes.
Also, the characters in a lot of airport names are screwed up in the new selection boxes.

Actually, how abouts i has the guy change it to the way the first piece of ajax in create route will be. don'ts worry about "what" that "way" is. it's a good way. 'cus i thoughts of it. I'll definitely see if i can get him to have them default to the last selected settings.
-
Thats woulds bes mosts excellents :wink:
Thanks!
-
Create Route is now updated. Please expect more features to be announced in this thread.
-
Once again, not liking how you are forced to select the continent first.
-
I like the AJAX thingy, but in create route I'd like a "View All" option, not just the different continents. The reason for this is when I update my routes I have 2 windows, one with "View Routes" and one I create new routes in. This way I can easily go though the list and see what airports I should start routes from. Let's just say I've been concentrating on filling my larger hubs like FRA and CPH with routes, and now I want to add all those routes to the smaller hubs as well. All extra clicks are a bit tiresome too, that I have to select continent for each and every route. Ok, call me a lazy bugger :D
-
I like both the research and the create route setup. Saves a ton of scrolling about to find everything :wink:

I'm working on both features, expect an update soon. :wink: Thanks for pointing it out.

Something that would help a lot would be an option that only lists airports without routes from departure airport.
Example, I have 5 gates B,C,D,E and F and a hub A.
If I fly to C and E from the hub only B,D and F would turn up in the list.
Now that's something I'd like :)
-
Congratulations on implementing AJAX!
-
I've updated the Research Route page:
-separate continent dropdown
-recalls selected continent/airport after postbak
-option to show all airports
Feedback appreciated!
-
Wow. Ballint Rigo is working faster than Will :D

Sorry but I hate this feature. Maybe you could give us options.
-
Well, I apreciate your work, but this feature isn't terrible helpful. Its just ennerving to select the continents before you research a route. However, it would improve if we could select preferences on the continents!
-
I love this feature, but you should have an option that says "all gates"
-

yes the option for all gates would be nice.

You can select All in the continent dropdown.

Which page are you talking about?
Its there in research route, not yet in create route.

Well people are asking for it in create a route too. 8)

Nice updates guys... :lol:

Buy Aircraft page redesigned and updated. 8)

any chances on view route page redesigned?
i'd like to have range column on every routes :P
-

"All" option added to Create Route..
-
Any chance in adding a feature where you can change a planes lease when its on the market?

I'll see what I can do. :wink:
-
Thanks! Its good that we have someone else who can fix and create things that are smaller than just 2 people doing multiworlds. :)
-
Balint, just want to thank you for your hard work so far - keep it up buddy. You've made some small changes but they are vastly improving the way we play the game already.
Hat's off to you fella! 8)
-

Done. You can now see the distance on the View Route page. (Routes already created do not have distance saved to the database yet, you have to edit the route.)

Thanks for your kind words :D

Ok, some more sugestions.
1st. Being able to change aircrafts on a route. Lets say I have a Martin going LHR-CDG and I want to upgrade it to a Lockheed, I can simply reasign the route.
2nd. Being able to change leasing prices on planes (Arent you working on that?)
3rd. Adding the page where you can see the latest added airports and the "add" airport page somewhere.
Thats all I can immedaitly think of, but great job! :) :Thumbsup:
-
Although it was annoying first I am now getting used to the continent feature in "Create Route" page and I find the aiports a lot faster. Thanks for that! Hope to see more such little updates. Still missing something already requested in the "Suggestions" section. :wink:

I know, but Its annoying to have to click onto the favorites and scroll down to it. :P
-

Yes, I am. :D
Your other two requests are being processed. :wink:
-
Awsome! soon, their wont be anthing you can improve on that isn't multi-worlds/new programs :)
-

Thanks! You are my new idol :P :lol:

Any eta on the ability on being able to swap aircraft in the edit route screen?

Really :shock:
-
yes!!! :D
-
are you sure?
-
are you sure?
yes. balint and i are considering how to best improve the close route logic (the same logic required for swap ac). once that's done, it shouldn't be hard to complete. At present close route logic can break down at around 6 routes if they're shaped properly.

ummm... ok :P

Can we have a default setting on the create route page?? cause it needs a lot of clicking when setting up lots of routes at one time :cry:

I'm afraid we won't go back to the original design. However, it is going to remember last selection, that will reduce the number of clicks you have to make. :)

Editing leases on the market is now possible on the Aircraft Market page.

Thanks for implementing that one Balint! 8)
-
"Buy" links added to each aircraft on the Research Route page.

That feature is great! Could you please add the price of that aircraft, too? makes it easier to decide which one to chose :wink:
