We have been busy behind the scenes adding new features to Airtribune, and improving some old ones too. All the following is aimed at Event Organisers. Here is a summary to date:

- We have added a facility to download an FSDB file directly from the Participants page. This will link straight in to FScomp

- We have also incorporated into that FSDB the serial numbers of all Flymaster Live Tracker sets you may be using, so that the file can be uploaded directly into the FlyMaster Livetracking website to create groups

- Further, these groups on Flymaster will allow you to monitor for SOS messages and ReportBack (RetrieveRequests) from the pilots using the XCguide on on Android

- We have increased the number of status messages available to you when organising the event

- In addition, we have customised the emails sent to pilots when a status message is created. Below is a summary

- Team Pilot <new> - Intended for Sponsored events

- Confirmed - Confirms the pilot is completely paid up and registered

- Wildcard <new> - This is for a completely paid up pilot that got in through bribery

- Waiting Payment - You have asked them to pay IMPORTANT: read below!

- In Progress - They have informed you they have sent payment, but you haven't seen it yet

- Qualified - They are on the waiting list for when a place is available

- Verified <new> - You have checked their info, but are not offering them a place yet

- Missing Requirements <new> - Something is wrong with their registration

- Cancelled <new> - They have asked to be removed, but you want to keep their name displayed

- Waiting List - They have just registered for the event and you have not yet looked at them

Each of these new status messages will generate an email to the pilot. They are generic messages, EXCEPT for the message 'Waiting Payment'. This generates a much fuller email, copying the text from the admin area about how to pay. So test this message on yourself to make sure you understand it, and it makes sense.

We have many more fixes and improvements coming this year. We will keep you informed as they happen!
