I haven't had much time to play around with the new interface, but please add the Edit link to the main line of the routes listings. Or, perhaps add a small pencil icon for editing and a red 'X' to close the route on the main line.

These can be put on the main line quite easily.

I think those would do very nicely.

Along the same line (pun intended), would it be possible to have each route's checkbox on the main line?

Also, if there remains a need for secondary lines of information, why not also show ticket prices somewhere in there?

You guys sound like a bunch of little kids complaining about the new facebook.  :P

The new website is great and I am sure it will only get better.
If any of you guys have a problem with AM, than do something to help. Report bugs, and most of all, buy tokens. I am amazed how great this game is considering there is almost no funding.

+1 Although the new facebook isnt bad at all and i dont get the hype and complaint of it :s

If you continue to go off topic the thread will be locked. There is a lot of discussion required on this area to ensure the design meets the general requirements of the users and I don't particularly want to have to close it.

Country:

Airport:

Only 3 features or updates were released really. Probably will add a few small features like that soon.

Welcome back.

The same here and I agree. Also, it would be nice to change the color of the percentage when it goes below 100-80%, 79.99 to 60%, 59.99-35%, 34.99%-0%... or something like that

In Private Worlds, I think it would be nice to be able to choose multiple countries, Like have a private world with the UK, France and Switzerland, for example, and be able to do that for any country provided the total number of Airports is larger then 50.

Ok thats cool if its going to comein soon, I can understand that just getting a new theme out would have been hard enough, and you wanna see if that works first :) Any clues what the new features are? I cant work it out :P

And thanks for the welcome :) Its good to be back and finding that I have 600,000,000 euros from just flying around the UK!

One more thing, the worlds that you are in are not hilighted in green anymore on Opera, I dont know about anything else, they are highlited in Blue? Thats just a small word update ;)

There are many airports that i fly into that i don't know which country they belong to. Also, coders correct me if i am wrong but this feature will tax the server doing 4 queries instead of 3.

Server is slower and 'prettiness' was chosen over functionality of the site.
As a mechanic i know would say (about a new paint job on a plane) this is the same whore with a new dress  :P

There is little to no business intelligence about how my airline is doing. One of the flaws i see is the mx. cost on the initial screen.
I can collect all my 'upgrade screw ups' list in a single thread and make a big list, but i think the #1 issue is the lost functionality from previous version. You should have that as the highes priority before you address enhancement requests.

The initial screen being the Operations page? If so, please bear in mind that the cost displayed there is the daily cost.

It won't help, that's for sure.

Blue? They should very, very definitely be green. Maybe it's your monitor playing tricks ???

Nobody on the AM team has responded to requests of being able to sort by Aircraft Age/Book Value on the View Aircraft page. So I'd like to put in a word for this feature to be re-implemented as well. The decimal places idea for aircraft age is also a very very good idea.

Here are some of the most relevant posts re this issue:
