NEWS! - Air Hauler 2 by Just Flight updated to v3.0.0.13 Aircraft Simulators are great, great for flying, and also great to experience travel to all parts of the globe. But like in life, if you don't have a purpose or focus, then it can in time then slowly become boring. This where a clever tool in Air Hauler comes in. Air Hauler puts you in complete control of your own freight and passenger company - you take charge of operations both in the boardroom and in the cockpit. You can also 'go global' and create your own Virtual Airline and recruit other AH2 pilots to fly for you with attractive payouts, or you can join another pilot’s booming airline and fly for that alongside your own company. In other words your flying online with a the purpose of putting you own aircraft to work. As the pilot charged with delivering the goods or passengers on time, you can decide to fly a job in multiple legs or stop anywhere enroute for refuelling or maintenance. Create your regular passenger routes and look out for special humanitarian missions. Contend with real-world weather conditions if you want the extra challenge and keep a watchful eye on your fuel economy. The level of complexity is also up to you - simply fly jobs between bases and buy or lease aircraft, or carve out a career in the air freight or airline industry by hiring AI pilots and risking everything on loans to fill up your dream hangar. Its fun, and gives you a focus for your everyday flying. The first version of Air Hauler was released June 9th 2020. This is the latest update, or updates as there are two releases with the same v3.0.0.13 on the same day. Obviously the most important aspect of the v3.0.0.13 release is that it is now for X-Plane 12, and Air Hauler is for Windows only. v3.0.0.13 (March 30th 2022) Now supports XP12 (minimum version 11.50+) Fixed issue with UTC time conversion when pushing job to VA Added Pilot & NPC character portraits Added NPC reputation to available mission description Supply missions - removed the From ICAO as it was confusing people, it is now left blank When asked to clear the Pilot log, answering No will now leave it as is Pax config aircraft have a reduction of 30% cargo capacity (to reflect seats etc) Resolved issue which would result in all commodity markets closure if airport missing Export button added to AI Pilot flight log toolbar Fixed issue preventing mission generation Prevented AH2 updating the Aircraft import list after importing an aircraft before closing the window Added pilot/fleet map filter options in Accepted Missions window v3.0.0.13 (March 30th 2022) - Fixed issue whereby the cargo loading screen buttons would not be visible - Fixed issue whereby the "Take out new loan" button would not be visible AIR HAULER 2 FEATURES Cargo jobs – a wide variety of job types, from flying high-tech electronic equipment to potatoes and fruit, with differing rates of pay, from hundreds to hundreds of thousands! Passenger operations – fly single passenger jobs between any airport you choose, or set up a schedule and routes for your airline to fly. You can let your AI pilots fly these routes or you can fly any of them at any time. Missions - take missions from new contacts you meet as you travel to new airports and destinations. Virtual Airlines – create your own Virtual Airline and recruit other AH2 pilots from around the world to fly passenger and cargo jobs! Advertise your airline on the Air Hauler 2 Hiring Bulletin Board. Accept and fly jobs from the Global Job Board and compete with other airlines for the best hauls. Humanitarian missions - respond to real-world disasters by manufacturing and delivering relief supplies to local airports. AI pilot skills tree system – AI pilots can be ‘trained’ in over 18 different skills which bring benefits to your company. As the AI pilots improve, they ‘level up’ in rank which gives them more skill points to spend. There is a skill tree which has five different tracks with individual skills in each and these can be unlocked by spending points. So, for example, an AI pilot who has five points in ‘Bungee Warrior’ will be subject to less in-flight cargo damage as a result of rough handling than one who has less (or no) points in that skill. Other examples are ‘Rocketman’, which provides a more efficient cruise (lower fuel costs), and ‘Short Stripper’ which lowers the runway landing requirements for AI pilots. Take missions from clients at airports – supply them with rare commodities or perform photo recon flights or private charter flights. Commodity trading – buy and sell commodities rather than just move them for clients. Make your own fortune trading between airports! Upgrade your bases – upgrade them with fuel depots and commodity storage facilities, allowing you to hedge fuel prices and store commodities long term. Factories and production – build factories at your bases and use them to produce desirable commodities which can’t be bought on the open market. Find aircraft parts from vendors – find these at larger airports and use them to repair your fleet or build new aircraft yourself rather than buying them! Type rating system – get qualified on aircraft before you or your AI pilots can fly them. Buy and fly aircraft in your personal fleet – you can also transfer money from your company into your own personal account. Buy new aircraft direct from the manufacturer, or buy second hand – have the aircraft shipped to you or go and collect them yourself and fly them home. Map views with great circle routes – several map tile choices are available.
