v0.6.101.29: Casey's Aircraft Price Audit · Casey pulled the invoice records and found the Skybus A320 listed at $10M. The A319 costs $24M. Something was off. The A320 now costs $24M, right where it belongs between the A319 and A321. · The Bering 777-200 was carrying 350 passengers in a three-class layout. Casey measured the cabin and says that's a 777-300 worth of seats. Corrected to 305, whic…
v0.6.101.14: Casey's QoL Clipboard · Bulk Replace: Select All and Deselect All buttons. Casey got tired of clicking 47 checkboxes one by one. · Engine and modification picker now shows absolute stats alongside the percentages.

Routes stay profitable while you wait for delivery instead of sitting idle on the tarmac. · Cancelling a pending batch swap returns any pre-reserved hangar stock. Casey double-checked the paperwork on that one. · The Str…
v0.6.100.1 - Casey Stops Buying Gates Behind a Closed Border · On a Cold War realism run, trying to open a route across a closed border used to charge you for the airport gates first and only then tell you the flight can't happen — leaving you holding gates you didn't want. Casey moved the border check to the front of the line. Now you get the heads-up before a single gate is bought, on both th…
Casey Comes Up For Air It has been a while, CEO! Casey put his head down, the studio went quiet, and a whole lot of airline turned over in the meantime. This is the catch-up post for everyone, and it is a big one. The short version: your rivals grew up, you can paint the fleet, every campaign is now its own little world, and the money got a great deal more interesting. A quick word before we ta…
Casey's Field Trip: Three Meters Below Sea Level Casey filed some inspection paperwork this week from a place that shouldn't exist. Amsterdam Schiphol sits on the bed of a lake that the Dutch finished draining in 1852. The runways are three meters below sea level. The dikes are doing the heavy lifting. It's also one of the best starter hubs in SkyChart's 1930s campaign, and the post breaks down…
The Boeing 747 Debut in 1969: How the Jumbo Jet Changed Commercial Aviation Boeing nearly bankrupted itself building the 747. The plane it shipped changed how airlines made money for a generation. When Pan Am Flight 1 taxied out of JFK on January 22, 1970, it carried 332 passengers to London on a plane that Boeing had bet the company on. The 747 came within weeks of pushing Boeing into bankrupt…
Czardus Played SkyChart for 45 Minutes Fellow indie dev Czardus posted a long-form playthrough of the demo on YouTube. He builds an empire, learns the hub system the hard way, and along the way buys out a competitor's London Heathrow slot just to spite them. If you want to see how the campaign plays out before you wishlist, this is probably the best video out there right now. Czardus picked the…
Dawn of the Jet Age: The Bering 707-120 in SkyChart Here's how to use the jet age to your advantage. When the Bering 707-120 unlocks in 1958, you're standing at the most pivotal moment in your airline empire. The jet revolution didn't just add speed; it reshuffled which airlines dominated the industry for decades. The operators who hesitated got left behind. The ones who committed early built i…
The Flying Boat That Crossed Oceans: Inside the Bering 314 Clipper The Bering 314 Clipper is SkyChart's first true intercontinental aircraft — and in 1938, nothing else comes close. In 1938, crossing the Atlantic or Pacific by air meant boarding a flying boat — a giant aircraft that landed on water because paved runways simply didn't exist at enough destinations around the world. The real Boein…
City Spotlight: Abu Dhabi — The Desert Hub That Rewrote Long-Haul Aviation No runway until 1975. Nonstop to six continents by 2010. Abu Dhabi is SkyChart's Gulf hub — and one of the most rewarding bases in the game. Abu Dhabi is a city that didn't exist on the commercial aviation map until 1975 — and then became one of the most strategically dominant hubs on the planet in under 40 years. The se…
SkyChart: Airline Executive — Patch Notes v0.2.41.6 → v0.2.42.23 Chief flight inspector Casey the Macaw would like a word. Several words, actually. v0.2.42.23 — Casey Installs a Real Weather Office (Phase 1 of 4) · New harvest pipeline pulls real climatology data: NOAA IBTrACS tropical cyclones, NOAA NGDC volcanic eruptions (VEI 3+), and 30 years of Open-Meteo ERA5 wind/pressure/precip/cloud. ·…
Fuel Shock: How the 1973 Oil Embargo Rewrote the Rules of Commercial Aviation In October 1973, oil prices quadrupled overnight — and airlines that weren't ready were never the same. Here's how that crisis plays out in SkyChart. On October 17, 1973, OPEC's Arab members announced an embargo that sent a barrel of crude from $3 to nearly $12 within months. Pan American World Airways alone saw its f…
v0.2.42.2 — Casey Files Paperwork With Steam Review · Casey came back from a meeting at Steam HQ, waving a clipboard and looking thunderous. 'They told me players couldn't SCROLL the help guide with a controller! TWO HUNDRED PAGES of expertly-curated wisdom and they could only see the first screenful?!' He stomped over to Help & Controls, ripped open the Help tab, and bolted a right-stick scrol…
v0.2.41.6 — Casey's Flight Inspection Report · Casey was squinting at his tutorial clipboard when he noticed every em-dash had been replaced with a question mark. 'Who redacted my briefing notes?! I specifically wrote DASHES, not RIDDLES!' Tracked it down to 13 corrupted characters across the tutorial steps — some encoding gremlin swapped them during a file transfer. Casey personally re-inked e…
Casey Opens Flight School 🦜✈️ After squawking at poorly labeled cockpit instruments and unlabeled route cards for long enough, Casey has officially opened the SkyChart Academy — and he's not letting anyone leave until they've earned their wings. 🎓 The Tutorial Is Here v0.2.36.0 – v0.2.37.2 SkyChart now has a full in-game tutorial with 15 chapters covering every major system — from laying your…
