Bid Central Revision 20 features and fixes  

  • New Date/Time Calculator- available in "Select" menu.
  • New Date Calculator- available in "Select" menu.
  • Flight Schedule Calendar prints correctly using the [Print FC] Button.
  • HTML Flight Schedule Calendar now works correctly with modern web browsers.
  • Bug Fix in Warpdrive which would prevent conforming pairings from being recognized correctly.  I highly recommend users who fly only trips on certain days of the month to start using the Warpdrive.  It creates very compact, efficient, and correct bids that you can enter quickly.  It's best for people who aren't senior in their category.
  • Bug Fix in Ramjet legality checking logic which could result in a legality being triggered when it shouldn't have been.
  • Fixes a problem adding important dates to the Flight Schedule Calendar.  If you check the delete mark to the left of the important date, BC will remove that event from the FSC.  There was also a problem that could cause duplicate events to be put on the FSC.  The problem is corrected.
  • Ability to now display the time between each adjacent trip in ramjet schedules.  You can leave the window open and the information will change automatically as schedules change.
  • Updates Bidmonth dates for 2023.
  • Fixes a problem displaying the calendar date select in the Pairing Processing Form when entering Bid Month dates.
  • Fixes an issue in which some messages would not be displayed on top where they could be seen.
  • Updates logic to show all holidays through year 2028 on FC and all SG Calendars.
  • Updates the pay comparison calculator with C2023 pay rates, and eliminates the previous pay comparison calculators.
  • Updates all base/aircraft combinations in user profile, and will select the latest pay rate if you select [Update Pay Rate].p
  • Adds up/down buttons next to the drop-down buttons for schedule hourly range selection in the Ramjet.
  • Changes the way the next and prev arrow buttons work in the selected pattern screen so that clicking next from the last pairing will go to the first pairing and vice-versa.

Please note that there is a chance to get Send-It-Up working again to upload bids automatically.  Will be conducting a test in Feb to see if it works.  It appears that he latest "player" license key is now free for all subscribers with the updated version because there will no longer be updates to IMacros.  Still hoping the latest update will allow SIU to work with NavBlue.
