Installation

Supported platforms: Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.).

Recommended: Install from Chrome Web Store

Install AES directly from the Chrome Web Store.

1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing.
2. Click Add to Chrome.
3. Confirm the installation in your browser.
4. Open AirlineSim and AES will load automatically on supported pages.

Manual Installation

If you want to test a local build or install AES manually, use the unpacked extension flow below. This guide is based on racsofp’s guide.

1. Download the current version from the releases page. The file you look for has the format AES-vX.X.X.zip, where X is replaced with numbers.
2. Unzip the archive.
3. Open your browser's extensions page.
   • Chrome: chrome://extensions
   • Edge: edge://extensions
4. Enable Developer mode.
5. Click Load unpacked.
6. Select the unzipped extension folder.

The extension should now be added and ready to use.

Privacy

AES stores extension settings and extracted AirlineSim gameplay data locally in the browser. See PRIVACY.md for details.

History

Marcipanas is the original developer of this extension. It seems they ceased development sometime in 2020. The community has published some updates in the meantime, but no continued development has happened since.

Developer Features

These features make developing for AES easier.

Notifications

AES comes with its own notification API. This uses AS’ notification style and location. The AES notification API consists of two components: Notifications and Notification.

Usage

Notifications should only be used as a response to an action by the user; don’t add notifications on a page load.

Initiate the Notifications:

To start using the notification API create a new Notifications:

const notifications = new Notifications()

Add a new notification

To add a notification:

notifications.add("The settings have been updated")

By default, a new notification comes with the success styling (a checkmark icon and a green background). The style can be changed by passing an option object:

notifications.new("Failed to save data", {type: "warning"})

The possible values for type are:

• "success"
• "warning"
• "error"
