The only extensive modification to the hrly script (which was the holdup from my end of coding) was the addition of autoreturn of leases. the rest of the hourly script was untouched, thereby, the bug-free nature of it from last age is vicariously continued. I successfully ran the hourly script numerous times in trying to test out the bugs from auto-return of leases.
The two bugs i kept encountering were: 1. i accidently inverted two numbers i was putting into a formula (thereby preventing it from working). This was definitively fixed. 2. Messages were hung up by certain airline names, this was fixed the last time i saw.
Keep in mind i was, at the time of the testing, using the 12,500~ aircraft that were at the end of their leases to test this out. They were on around a cumulative 40,000 routes. It appeared all the appropriate messages were generated (3mo-lessee, 1mo-lessee, returned-both parties), and that the appropriate routes were closed and aircraft were returned. The delayed start was tested out thoroughly, and is working just fine (as proved by the "days" ticking down to the start of normal play).
All efforts are taken to minimize bugs before any script goes live, but being bugs and very tiny little things, some get through the gaps. Unfortunately in this case big enough ones made it in that we had to re-reset 12 hours in, but i have a good feeling about the rest of this age.
