Another thing that's bothered me in some other VA/career systems is this: You love a certain smaller bush plane. You really badly wanna fly this, but its cargo capacity is so small that you just can't take on most missions on the board.
Introducing Mission Splitting
Mission splitting does exactly what it says, without overcomplicating things: You take a contract that would be too big for your favorite aircraft and turn it into several smaller missions you can actually fly.
How It Works
You’ll find everything on the mission desk at /missions, which now has three views:
- Current → what you’re flying right now
- Pending → your saved leftovers after mission splitting
- Available → the usual rotating board
If the cargo of your current mission is too heavy:
- Open “Split the mission cargo” at the end of the briefing page
- Enter what your aircraft can realistically carry
- Save
Done.
- Your current mission shrinks to a flyable load
- The rest becomes a Pending mission
Pending Missions: Your Personal Backlog
Think of Pending as your “I’ll deal with this later” pile.
The missions just sit there until you:
- fly them
- split them again (and again, and again... if needed)
- or delete them
Also important: You can only have one active mission at a time. Try to avoid hoarding half-finished job
About Weight (Because Physics Still Exists)
A few guardrails to keep things sane:
- Default unit: lb (kg available if you insist)
- Minimum split: 100 lb / 46 kg
- No tiny leftover scraps < 100 lb allowed
- Whole numbers only
The UI shows you exactly what will happen before you confirm, so no surprises.
Passenger Missions (No, You Can’t Fly Half a Person)
Passengers follow the same system — with one obvious limitation:
No fractions.
If your split would result in 2.7 passengers, FrontierWings politely rounds that down to 2 actual humans.
The UI tells you exactly what you’ll end up with.
Happy splitting and flying!
