The Plan now looks at where you are flying
This morning we added the Plan, the map icon at the top of the screen that lists your next steps and what each one pays. It had one weak spot. It knew what you had done, but not where you were, so it could tell you to visit three airports while you were flying right past one.
Near you, first. When you open the Plan in flight, it now checks what is around you. If an airport is within 40 km and you still have airport visits to make, the first line of Next up names it and says how far it is, for example «Hamburg Airport is 9 km away: visit it». If an airport within 80 km has no captain yet and you have not been a captain anywhere, you get a line for that too. Both lines have a Fly button that takes you straight there. The rest of the list follows as before.
We only send your rough position (about a kilometre) when you open the Plan or it refreshes during a flight. On the site pages nothing is sent, and the list works the same way it did this morning.
A word from the tower. After five minutes in the air, Mia from Skydex Tower now and then names the next step of your Plan, at most once every fifteen minutes and only when the radio has been quiet for a minute. Her line has an Open the Plan button. If you switched the tower off or to text only, that setting still holds.
What we look at. We count how many people open the Plan, which Go buttons they press and which chapters they pick, so we can see where players get stuck and fix those steps first. The counts are per person, not per click, and stay inside our own console.
Open skydex.online, take off and press the map icon. If you missed it, here is the post about the Plan itself.
