Delta ACARS Beta 13.1 — Flight Scoring & Recovery Improvements

New Features

• Flight Scoring 1.1 uses continuous, timestamped taxi overspeed evidence and excludes identified takeoff/landing rollout intervals
• Safer start-session recovery reconnects eligible existing sessions rather than reattaching a PIREP to a new session
• Delta Flight Dispatch Choose Aircraft opens the manual aircraft picker while honoring Typical Subfleet restrictions

Improvements

• Require at least three distinct qualifying overspeed samples spanning at least eight seconds with bounded gaps
• Show qualifying time and peak speed for taxi-speed deductions
• Return structured session conflict errors instead of exposing raw SQL statements
• Improve contrast of the white Next Bid card and flight-selection details

Bug Fixes

• Reduce false 35-knot taxi deductions caused by late takeoff-phase or landing-roll classification
• Avoid rebinding a phpVMS PIREP already associated with another Delta ACARS session
• Clarify recovery guidance when saved local flight data is incomplete

Known Issues

• Unsigned Windows QA build: native Windows, MSFS/X-Plane, phpVMS staging database integration, and Azure Artifact Signing validation are required before public deployment.
• Recovery cannot restore telemetry that was never saved locally or received by the server.
• The additional duplicate-active-flight server guard is a separate QA hotfix; it is not included in or confirmed deployed with this release.
• No verified signed installer URL or Windows updater manifest is supplied in this Release Manager draft.
• Historical PIREP scores are not automatically recalculated.
