1.2.3:

• Fuel, now you can auto buy fuel by checking the fuel checkbox and setting the maximum amount needed and the highest price. It will check once every hour.
  (I found a way to fly the airplanes even with no fuel (negative amount) and was about to include it in the script but thought that would be cheating so I did not.)

1.2.2:

• Added ability to buy catering by selecting the type and amount, so it buys them before flying the airplanes. But you have to make sure that you put the right amount for the selected catering type (minimum and maximum) by following the values giving by the game otherwise it will not buy them. And when the catering finishes it will buy them again in the next round.

1.2.1:

• Added Note taker to keep notes about the game, like airport names, what to buy next…etc.
• Fixed a bug in autoupdate if the version file on the server is not accessible.
• Added a timeout for waiting loops so they will not loop forever in case a page did not load correctly.
• Refresh (reload) the facebook page, including AM page, every 20 iterations to overcome a bug in AM (which i have no control over) that appears after keeping the script running for long time.

1.2.0:

This version went through a restructuring of the code. In the previous versions I was injecting the whole code inside the AM page (AM iframe inside Facebook page to be precise) and because of that I was also storing the script settings as AM cookies. This approach is simple and makes interacting with the page easy, however, it makes it easy for AM admins to detect the script by either adding a function that searches for my functions or the entries in the cookies. In order to solve this problem I changed the way the script works. Now when you open the AM game under Facebook my script will be loaded twice, the first instance will load under Facebook frame and it will inject the AP Control box in that frame, which AM has no access to so they cannot detect it. The second instance will load under AM frame, however, it will not inject anything but rather will remain in Greasemonkey sandbox and that is also hidden from AM cannot be detected. The last thing is the settings which are now being stored in Firefox itself under GM settings using GM functions (GM_getValue & GM_setValue). The two script instances are working separately and cannot communicate with each other since they run under different domains (facebook.com & airlinemanager.activewebs.dk) as this is a security feature enforced by Firefox to prevent malicious websites from accessing other websites functions and variables. To overcome this obstacle I used the GM stored settings which are shared by both instances to communicate. In addition to all of that I added some randomization to the timer so executing the tasks will not happen at the exact intervals.

• Replaced using (eval) which can be harmful with location.assign
• Settings are not stored in AM cookies anymore.
• No code injection in AM page.
• Time randomization.
• Repairs and C-Check have their own check box so you can do one and not the other.
• Auto check for script update every 3 days.
• The timer now loops every 5 seconds instead of every 1 second to reduce the load on the browser.

* Note:

• I recommend removing the stored cookies by the older version (delete all cookies if you are not sure how).
• Even with all of these precautions this automating script can still be detected by AM admin if they want to, even though I don’t expect them to do it but they can detect and close your AM account. (Farmville knows about the automation tools and the users who use them but they did not prevent/block them because it did not harm them, rather it might have increase their users by keeping the lazy ones like me.)
• I expect this version to have many bugs, because I did many changes. Also there are still some changes that I wanted to do but decided to release this first and work later on these changes and whatever bugs you guys find.

1.1.2:

• More enhancement to the C-Check and Repair, it should miss less repairs and checks now. Basically I increased the waiting delay between tasks to give more time for the pages to load before starting the new one. If your internet connection is slow and the script does not work as it should then try increasing the delay by modifying this part of the script “fDelay=5000″, 5000 means 5 seconds, set the value to something suitable for your net speed.
• Repairs and C-Checks will not work after the new AM update (April-08), so in order to keep using the script to fly airplanes uncheck the repair box, and kindly wait for the coming update.

1.1.1:

• Solved the problem of not working under Firefox 3.6.x.
• Removed the dependency on jQuery.
• Fixed a bug that causes the control box not to show if the airline is not AM trusted.
• The C-Check and Repairs are not perfect and it get missed sometimes

1.1.0:

• Major change in how the script works.
• Added the ability to repair airplanes and do C-Check before flying them.
• Save control box settings in AM cookies.
• Will load on all AM pages not just the Flight page.
• Fixed the file name so it will install directly by greasmonkey
• This version does not work with the new Firefox 3.6.x, I am trying to solve this issue.

1.0.0:

• Inisial release.
