SimFly Intelligence Hub – Advanced Analytics for SimFly

Hi everyone,

Over the past few (weeks)months I’ve been working on a suplementary platform for SimFly focused on analytics, operational intelligence and historical insights that aren’t available in mother system and focusing on individual assets for user. Useable on PC,Tablets and mobile phones.

The project is called SimFly Intelligence Hub and is currently in active development.

Current Features

Automatic Flight History Import

• Imports your complete public SimFly flight history.
• Historical backfill is performed only once, then only new flights are synchronized.

Advanced Statistics

• PAX income over time
• Flight activity timeline
• Airport performance
• Aircrafts profitability
• Licenses profitability
• Fleet utilization planned
• Historical trends planned

Airport Intelligence

• Visitor tracking
• Live arrivals and departures (traffic to-from my airports)
• Airport profitability analysis
• Estimated base PAX payout matrix (Tier × Level)
• Airport performance dashboards
• Possibility to compare performance of your airports against other airports

Aircraft Intelligence

• Fleet earnings
• Aircraft activity
• Flights performed by other pilots using your aircraft are correctly attributed to the owner.
• Aircraft utilization statistics
• Summary of cooldowns for assets

Live Operations Map

• Real-time active flights
• Aircraft historical routes
• Departure and destination visualization for active flights (when used by self or rented)
• ETA estimation for active flights of pilot and inbound/outbound flights

Historical Analytics

• Graphs built from your complete imported history rather than only recent flights.
• Daily, weekly and long-term trends.

Designed for Performance

One of the main design goals has been efficiency.

• Historical data is imported only once.
• After that, only newly completed flights are synchronized.
• Existing history is never re-imported unless explicitly requested.
• Statistics are updated incrementally to minimize load

Still Under Development

I’m continuously adding new features and improving reliability.

Current work includes:

• Estimated arrival times (ETA) for active flights - 1st iteration live - planned close to real-timing with sufficient database size
• More live operational information.
• Additional airport intelligence.
• Better fleet management planned
• More historical reports and dashboards.

More Info

I have few testers as for now - and I am really appreciating feedback from them - helped nail bugs in logic or planted some ideas for new features

If you’d like to try the platform, report bugs, suggest features, or simply see what insights it can provide about your airline, let me know - however its not yet fully optimized in respect of DB utilization so still to early to open it for larger group.

It is not created to compete with other “community add-ons” - but to complement them with unique operational analytics, dashboards and historical intelligence that many of us enjoy (or may enjoy but they do not yet realize that).

Happy flying!

Ah yes some visuals from current version - below. If you have any questions - feel free to ask.

And more, I will keep you posted. Cheers!

@shill thank you for the opportunity of testing it! Really a lot of work has gone into this.

[shill]

Sure - I am now tweaking some of the features for accuracy, managed to build some unique analytics.

As discussed it seems to be working quite good. Happy that you like it and thanks for feedback.

[shill]

Finished some in-depth metrics - prediction/advisory for airport upgrade based on real income data:

[shill]

New metrics added - allowing to understand who is the most active on your assets and you should pay that person a visit back

Stability is already as expected I need more people to test it under a bit heavier load. Especially from active users.

[shill]

Based on some feedback i have added function to check where i should pay a counter visit (for a flight to me)

Feature list is basically completed - i will be working on something that is purely community friendly (big feature) as last addition.

Thanks for feedback so far.

[shill]

Things are getting a bit spicy here

[Kyndra]

You could easily integrate your frequent flier / pilot reciprocation list with the Active Airports map.

Just pass the names of the pilots as part of the URL formatted like this:

https://kyndrarocks.github.io/SimFlyActiveAirports/SimFly_Active_Airports-LATEST.html?pilots=Benoit0211%2CPhusin%2Cmetrocat

This would help to plan out those payback flights. You can pass as many names as you like and app will open straight to the map with the pilot’s airports color-coded.

[shill]

It is more of assets management tool than
“where 60%” tool that I am sure many only care for

I think simfly map is now showing share and slots as well which is an improvement.

In a meantime i revamped license pages that shows running timers and status of each individual license, along with singe and route license checker.

[shill]

few more things (bugs/improvements) + UI polishing

• other HUB user flights can be validated if missing and/or wrong value for aircraft rental - there was quite nasty bug calculation of rental was not correct - seems to be resolved

• still some flight records can be invalidated (corrupted structure of file) - very seldom thou.

• full fledged admin flights check/recovery module that is able to fix wrong values in scenario (My plane - other Pilot - both airports are not mine).

[shill]

New (my fav) community driven feature - module that creates specific ranking of all pilots arriving to your airport.

• Up to 10 pages of arrivals from each and every of your airports.
• Creates matrix of pilots in given period
• Criteria are rather simple AF “Alliance Factor” as a multiplier of number of arrivals (x) Tokens delivered
• This list can be refreshed only once per 24h - so it always presents most up to date activities from your airports
• 10 pages depending on airport can mean months or just a few days - so traffic does matter
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Now cools stuff (more cool I shall say)

• When hoove-over avatar of visitor you can see information about airports of that individual
• If pilot does not own any yet - there is suitable message
• If pilot is owner of at least one airport - you can see true information
  ICAO / Number of slots consumed - in case you are interested in being nice and reply with same (fly over to that person).
  
  
  
  
  

There is small glitch that throws an error during the process occasionally but maybe I will be able to remove it - however all it needs is to press “TryAgain” and it continues as this is stage-build process in the backend of HUB.

[shill]

Ok folks I think stability is there. Here’s how it goes.

https://simfly-inteligence-hub.shilliash.workers.dev/

once you have the page opened - just type your pilot name (exactly as in SimFly) into the box of my avatar and system will switch the dataset to you.

Tell me what you think and enjoy.

[shill]

A few people have asked what the Hub actually does, so here’s a quick summary.

This started as a small side project because I wanted better statistics than I could get anywhere else.

It… escalated.

Today the Hub can:

• Track your airports, aircraft and licenses.
• License timers and weekly License Checker.
• Detailed income, passenger and rental analytics.
• Flight history (up to 2,000 flights) split into your own flights, visitors and aircraft rentals.
• Monitor airport activity and live traffic.
• Build long-term historical statistics from your flights.
• Compare pilots, rankings and consistency.
• Compare your airports with airports owned by other pilots.
• Airport Upgrade Advisor based on historical data.
• Analyze arriving traffic by aircraft Tier and airport Level using real historical flight data.
• Create and manage your own pilot team.
• And finally… Alliance Intelligence — discover who really flies to your airports, identify your most valuable visitors, and build your own alliance network with live airport coverage, available slots and detailed pilot insights.*

(*This feature already helped me decide who deserves a return visit after supporting my airports.)

Under the hood it’s a little more complicated than it looks.

The Hub imports and processes thousands of flights, builds its own analytics database, caches results, runs background jobs and somehow manages to talk to the SimFly API without (usually ) melting Cloudflare Workers.

What started as “I’ll build a few charts for myself” slowly turned into a complete analytics platform.

The best part?

People have already started using it to decide where to invest, which airports to upgrade, who to visit, and even which missions to assign.

That’s exactly why I built it.

Thanks to everyone who’s testing it, breaking it and suggesting improvements. Every report makes the Hub better.

The project is still growing, and my goal is simple: make it one of the most useful community tools for SimFly.

Fly safe… and remember: if you want to appear in someone’s Alliance Intelligence, you might want to fly to their airports first.

Cheers!
Fly safe…

Take off… and get even more.

Next analytical layer (based on already stored in HUB DB flights from an individual

Income Intelligence - visual layer with more thorough analysis of income spliting into Active and Passive income. Further categorization for Airports and Airplanes income with its respective share between own flights and rentals

Al with filter by 7d/30d/90d/180d/1 year/ALL

(I have small concerns with ALL computing is crazy- but it was mainly to cross check agains source of truth copied from simfly.io to HUB DB.

Last few bugs and it will be shared to supporters. Cheers.

[shill]

Ref above - it was not a bug it was a constrain of HUB DB - I do not have backfills of all pilots hence 2 bottom tables will become more accurate as userbase grows.

And its live feature for all HUB supporters - thanks for flying to me it only requires one flight and best option would be always ENKB-ENVA (20 minutes double impact )

[shill]

another QOL feature being implemented today - simbrief dispatch integration:

• simply Hove over ICAO of airport listed
• opens link to simbrief with filled ICAO destination of your choice
  
  
  
  
  

[shill]

Work In Progress…

[shill]

Last hurdles should be gone soon.

• It was necessary to rebuild aircraft income ledger (separate engine for prediction of aircraft income)
• Added layer of “Ownership Checkpoint” to be able to exclude airports that are bank owned.
• Supplementary community Intelligence (dynamic global median when user has no travels to/from destination ; it scale down as your own data grows - user can check if extra layer should be added or not).
• Prediction accuracy level per component
• Cross-module integrator for bonus-departure/arrival license eligability
• PAX/Hour ratio - efficiency score
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Its not AI guessing its based on real data in the HUB database - only can become more accurate as data pool grows.

Little more testing and It will be public.
BTW. Thanks for flying in to my Airports Hope HUB is becoming more and more useful to users. Cheers!

Congratulations Commander, great work! SimFly should at least reward you with an Annual Premium Plan and give you a company merit medal.

[shill]

As long as it is not “FIFA Peace Prize” I am ok with that
