Figured I would post this here for anyone who might be interested... we have just released the newest version of our game (Airline Project 0.3.7)...we would love to see some feedback from the avsim community and get ideas on new features and what we could do better... http://www.theairlineproject.com/ccount/click.php?id=17 ^^This is a direct download link. It will download the installer. http://www.theairlineproject.com <-- the website On a completely unrelated side note, I'm sorry to see the Tapatalk go :( I use that app quite heavily.

Airline Project 0.3.6 Visit Site The team at the Airline Project is proud to announce the release of the latest version of Airline Project (formerly The Airline), a free airline/business simulation game. This version is our most stable yet and introduces many new features and optimizations taking us to an even higher level of detail. New Features: Added hundreds of airports, airlines, and even a few new historic aircraft Passenger demand now grows from year to year and for minor airports with scheduled commercial service Pilots and flight school, complete with training aircraft Routes with stopovers Airlines can now start from different countries where applicable Scenarios Improved customer rating system Major destinations for airports (currently complete for US, in progress for other countries) Additional functionality with subsidiary airlines Many bug fixes and minor improvements have been made as well With this release, we are also doing a couple promos to increase exposure to the game: At 500 and 1000 likes on Facebook, we will give away a $25 randomly drawn gift card to the store of your choice (Amazon, Newegg, iTunes, etc) If version 0.3.7 receives 5000 downloads prior to the release of the next version (2-3 months), we will give away a randomly drawn gift card with a value of $50. We encourage visitors and users to consider donating to us on PayPal. This money goes primarily towards paying for our server, and may also be used for minor game and website improvements. Every little bit counts, and anyone who donates will be entered into the $50 drawing. To gain a better idea of the playing habit of our users, we have created a PDF survey on the site which can be filled out and emailed with your local client or webmail service. Again, users who complete this will be entered in the $50 drawing. For complete rules and conditions, visit the website. Donations are not a requirement, and will not entitle you nor deny you access to any game content or features. Unlike with prior versions, we hope to offer more extended support using a new installation and patching software that will be the medium of usage starting with this version. We expect at least two patches to be released for this version in the next 2 weeks, so if you find any bugs/errors/inconsistencies, please let us know so we can address them promptly. As always, we would like to extend our thanks to the websites providing us with free exposure and advertising, and the ever-growing group of contributors and testers who help us make each version better and better. Muchas gracias for the support from the online community, and as always happy flying & controlling

Airline Project is currently in the final stages of development for version 3.6. The game will go to testing for approximately 2 weeks in the beginning of March. We are looking for testers and reviewers for the game. Testers ideally should be able to commit 6+ hours over a two week period, and reviewers are requested to submit their opinions within the 7-14 days following the release of the game. Anyone interested should contact [email protected] and/or visit the website at http://www.theairlineproject.com

I'm currently starting a project that will culminate into an online, searchable database of aircraft performance related information. It will contain information useful for both pilots and controllers, and will hopefully be a quicker and easier alternative than pulling up a kneeboard or trying to google the takeoff run of a 757-300. I am looking for people interested in joining the project because of the massive amount of data entry and web development this will require. If you are interested, please feel free to send me a PM on here for more information.
