Merry Christmas Pilot's Life. It's been another great year flying with you all. Now as some of you may notice, it's getting rather festive again. So fill your bellies up with eggnog, munch on those mince pies and enjoy a feast of an update that I have spent quite some time working on!

Because this update is so big, I have had to split it in two parts!


Changelog:

* Licenses have been re-added after 3 years of being removed, but with some additions.
- Maverick License Requires 100 Score, 100k and 100 Helicopter Missions Before You Can Attempt The Test. If You Fail, You Will Have To Pay Another 100k each time

- Dodo License Requires 500 Score, 500k and 150 Dodo Missions Before You Can Attempt The Test. If You Fail, You Will Have To Pay Another 500K each time

- Shamal License Requires 1000 Score, $1 Million and 500 Shamal Missions Before You Can Attempt The Test. If You Fail, You Will Have To Pay Another 1Million each time

* More Challenging Licenses Will Be Added In Another Update. Nevada Is A Certain Addition

* Event System: Administrators Now Have The Ability To Create Events, Allowing Any Player On Foot And Not In A Mission to /JoinEvent. When The Event Is Locked You Will No Longer Be Able To Join.

* As Suggested By A The Community, /StopWork Now Costs $7500

* A New Playable Class Has Been Added, Fuel Trucker (Or Fuel Transporter). This Requires 300 Score To Work As. Fuel Truckers Have An Impact On Fuel Prices, For Every Mission Completed, It Will Lower The Price Of Fuel For The Next Day. Also, The Pay For Fuel Truckers Are Equivalent To Some Long Flights. The Default Player Icon Is Black (Subject To Change). Please Note Convoys May Not Be Fully Functional With This.

* Christmas Decorations: LSA, SFA And LVA Have All Had A Visit From The Snow Fairy. As Well As Many Administrator's homes.

* Lotto:  For The Christmas Period Only, The Lotto Payouts Have Been Increased Significantly

* Dogfights: Rhinos Have Been Readded At Area69 For VIP Level 3, But For The Christmas Period Only, They Are Available To All Players. Seasparrows Have Also Been Added For All Players to use in dogfight.

- [Bug Fix] Gates - The Gate Bug Should Be Fixed, If Not Please PM Me On The Forums
- [Bug Fix] Many Spelling Mistakes Have Been Fixed

-[Map] Added Las Venturas Intersection created by Crystal
-[Map] Added Xoomer HQ In Las Venturas For Fuel Missions


Because Of The New Class "Fuel Trucker" We Have A Shortage Of Custom Maps That Fit The Catagory, Furthermore Please Also Remember We Are Still Accepting Maps For Islands, Airports!


If Any Bugs Are Found Please Report Them On Forums And To The Administrator Team. Anyone Found Exploiting Bugs For Financial Gain Or Profit Will Be Subject To A Temporary Ban And Reset Of Assets

Nice addition Aaron. I have one question,What if a player had already got all the licenses before but he/she doesn't have required missons?

The requirements are only for players who don't have licenses, if you already have teh Dodo, maverick and shamal you will have to wait until new ones are added.

Indeed they are, but the "available for all players" scares me for some reason. Ya know, don't want to get shot down while flying by a kid thinking he's on BF4. :)

Well, technically there are rhinos in Area 69, but they're only accessible to administrators.

Personally i believe looking for presents once a year is enough. But that's just me.

The Updates are mind-blowing, meanwhile I would like to suggest some things,
1) Expiration of licenses:-
Some people has already got their licenses back in 2013.So,This update would be like half enjoyful. After a course of time,say 3 months, the licenses must be expired and they must be renewed.
2)New licenses:-
As I already heard that there are more licenses coming, It would be great if there is Trucking License.

Hmmmm nice but what gift can u get to do a license??? Again amd again?

Definitely no.
I agree on the second suggestion though.

Good job Aaron! Checked the update in-game, brilliant.

Because Of The New Class "Fuel Trucker" We Have A Shortage Of Custom Maps That Fit The Catagory,
Got a month of free time after exams end next week. I'm on it buddy!

Corrected. I only quality tested it and corrected for a couple of texture overlaps. All credit goes to Crystal.

Well done to Aaron and everyone who contributed to this update! Great job!  8)

Quite like this, maybe after a certain amount of time you need to renew your license.

When you go to renew it you won't have to pay again & will not get the reward again but you won't get the mission payment bonus' until you complete the course again.

Hope not a small amount of time....  but one question: IRL hours/days or played hours/days?

If there are no rewards and money involved then this will definitely be a good suggestion.
However I suggest a small fee of say 30k for the same. The amount will be refunded if and only if you complete the test with the required criterion (i.e. damage being less than or equal to 95 percent).
Also, I suggest a minimum waiting time of at least 48 hours before applying for another test for renewal of license.
If these two things are not added then players will not be serious while giving their license test. They should know that they have something at stake while giving the test. ;)

maybe for the players that want to renew their licenses the missions requested for the particular licences they are going for should be higher each time so its not too easy for them to get the licences.
