Downloaded and installed. First problem had nothing to do with AH. Error message, (can't remember what, now) would pop up when AH would try to start FS. Uninstalled and reinstalled FS(2k4) and AH. Working fine.

I noted the problems as being with FS due to not being able to start FS from a saved flight. A WIN32 error kept  poppingup. Had to do a restore back to a point approx 1 month ago. Didn't discover why. Just something I tried.

Was able to run my first job successfully. NICE!!!

Now for the quibbles:

Not being able to import add-on scenery, or at least haven't figured out a way to do that. Had a custom built airport that I was going to use based on cargo hauling, much like the Airborne Express facility in Indiana (KILN).

Second: Would like to have seen the map distinguish between outgoing and incoming jobs, e.g. solid lines going from home base and dotted for to home base...that way when you are showing all jobs, you can better see the routes you can take...

Otherwise, congratulations to the developers and testers for putting out a 4-star product!

I m in test for what is possible testing. But without scenery loaded, is almost impossible make something..., for me and others that they also can't.
 
You run your first job!? nice! because I don't even get the job in list.
I hire a AI pilot and he as unable to fly, or me, because I cant get the job list. Maybe it is because I dont have scenery loaded, because AH can't do this yet.
 
You have installed the scenery without problems to AH?
 
Reinstalled FS for me is the impossible way to go, because I have my FS fine tuned and tons of add-ons and scenery that cost to me much /hours/days/months to get better. I don't reinstall the FS.
 
cheers!

You've clicked on the options tab at the top, then Import Scenery? If you get an error there, let support know which scenery you have installed in FS and we'll troubleshoot it.

For now, you can use the filter to show only incoming, or only outgoing jobs which works quite well - see the drop down combo box at the top right of the jobs list.

I'm adding colour coding of the job paths to show that in a future service pack. :)

Jaugust4 can probably import scenery but just doesn't know how, he is probably no win64 user.
On top of the screen is a second tab "Options" in there is a button to import scenery Smile

I imported my scenery without any issues.  The only bug I've seen so far is when I changed the Fuel slider and hit cancel it threw an exception but worked fine after. I gotta say I'm enjoying this new add-on.

Had imported scenery at installation but don't see my airports even when filtered for "all". They do show up when flying but not in AH.

Good idea.  A suggestion...for those of us that have color deficiencies, it may make sense to also change the characteristics of the line as well (i.e. dotted, patterned, etc).

Thx

jaugust,

The filter only controls the display of airports for which there are jobs (to or from).

On the right side, above the maps are further controls which will allow you to display all airports which meet the criteria you select.  You may have to zoom up for the map to be legible if you're displaying an area that is densely populated with airfieds.

I eliminated the color from the map as well which make the lines show up better. They were almost the same color as the map (US). And was able to import my scenery. Apparently wasn't filtering properly when I wanted to buy my custom airport. But I did find it, along with the custom air strip I made. So those "quibbles" are gone.
