It's time for the first major update of 2023
On Wednesday the 11th of January at 07:00 UTC we will be releasing the first major update of 2023 on all FlightLogger accounts. No downtime is needed for this update, so please just continue your normal operation while we roll out the update.
Our first update brings one of the most wanted features among many of our clients, and one that we believe all of you will be happy to see: We're introducing twilight and night indicators on the booking page!
Watch this video for the super brief introduction:
Or, take a look at the walk-through below.
How does the twilight and night indicators work?
Basically, the twilight and night indicators make it easy for you to see the exact times of day, night, and twilight based on the selected date end the location of your organization. This way your planners get a visual assistant that makes it easy to see on the booking page when day and night flights can be booked.
Twilight and night is displayed on all aircraft and class room rows through the greyed background color, as shown here:
Also, exact times for switching between day, twilight, and night are displayed on each header line inside the calendar:
When enabled, twilight and night indicators are displayed on the daily and weekly views.
NOTE
As default, the twilight and night indicator function will be enabled on your account when we roll out the update. We will automatically set the location based on the airport that most of your aircraft has set as home airport, but it's easy to change this. See below to learn how.
