Stumped on where to fly next? AirSource has another solution for you! A new RANDOM FLIGHT GENERATOR is available for our members. AirSource programmer Joe Hamilton has dedicated weeks on this neat feature which was requested as part of our EMT meeting in January, giving yet more variety for our Union. Check it out today, and enjoy your flights!

Yes, I broke it when adding "Current Location" last night. Should be running correctly now.

You read my mind Joe. I was going to ask you if it would be possible to add the current location.

Great job!!

Thanks, Roy. Yeah, I meant to add it from the beginning but it slipped my mind.

Yet another very cool option. Nice work!

Update: fixing one thing...broke another. The GA flights, although working and usable, are not showing as intended. A fix is in the works

Thanks Joe for putting the hard work into this, i'm sure our members will take advantage of this

Sorry for the delay. Best I can tell, working as it should be now.

Joe,

Went to use the Random Flight Generator, but the starting airport is the airport you are currently at. Shows you as logged in, instead of me. I'm currently located at KBOS Boston, not KCPR.

Sorry, Roy. I have to remember to take that out when I re-upload it

Fixed now.

Thanks Joe.

*** updated. Now working the way one would expect

Changes include:

- set "Current Location" as the default departure option (figured it would be the most used selection)
- added a check to make sure only flights to/from the selected country are used.

- GA flight generator was completely re-written
- all flights generated with single leg (unless both selections are set as Any)
- generated flights will not have more than 2 legs (see above)
- uses only current aircraft. Will only generate a new lease if needed.
