CHANGELOG v0.1 ● ALPHA 2026-05-26
Changelog
What we've shipped, in reverse chronological order. Bigger changes link out to docs.
Private alpha kicks off
First closed-alpha build. Mission engine, theory tests, hangar, ratings shop, and the full sign-in → fly → reward loop are end-to-end playable locally. Public landing + docs ship. Access is gated to a hand-picked VATSIM CID allowlist while we tune mission generation.
- ENGINE Pull-driven mission generator with 5-stage pipeline, VATSIM Member API as the default flight-history source, position-pipe sampling every 15s for completion verification.
- CLASSES Six classes (Bush, Business, Charter, Small Airline, Cargo, Long Haul), T1 entry tests for each, T1→T5 ladder with XP thresholds locked.
- ECONOMY ∀Cred anchor (∀1,000 ≈ 1min paid flying) live. Multipliers stack: ATC × weather × time-of-day × first-time × time-sensitive. Server-authoritative completion.
- THEORY T1 question banks for all six classes seeded; questions link to public references (SkyBrary, FAA handbooks).
- SURFACE Public landing + docs at vcareer.net; theme-toggle (light / dark / system) shared between landing, docs, and authed app via localStorage.
- WAITLIST Beta-signup form on the landing — one transactional email when beta opens, then the table is dropped.
