Overview
Think of the FSE Game World website as the flight office. This is where you interact with all the functions of the game. Once you log in to the FSE Game World website, you'll see the main navigation bar with all options enabled. This page of the user manual gives a brief introduction to all of the menu items, as well as descriptions of some of the simpler pages. Other pages have their own dedicated section within the rest of the manual.
Basic Navigation Layout
Basic Navigation Layout
The FSE Game World Menu system is across the top of all Game World webpages. All menu header items are clickable; additionally, most menu header items also contain dropdowns with several sub-menu items. If you own, or belong to, an FSE Flight Group, access to the same pages will be via a slide-out to each sub-menu item. Selecting the main option (ignoring the sub-menu) will show your personal information while selecting the name of a flight group in the sub-menu will give you the data for the flight group.

- Change preferences
The preferences page has several globally-defined options for your Game World Account. The following items are available with descriptions as necessary:
Change email address. If you update your Game World email address, don't forget to update your FSE Communities password as well.
Show/Hide Payments to self in logs. Some in-game actions result in "you paying yourself", which can be confusing to see in your payment log entries. Hiding payments to yourself will ignore these "payments" when displaying your payment log, which may reduce some confusion. (see logs or banking for more information)
Show Log Times in GMT or Local. Your flight logs and payment logs have timestamps that can be displayed in either GMT/UTC time, or in your local time zone (as determined by your computer and browser settings).
Rental ban list. This allows you to ban individual players, by username, from renting your aircraft. Type any and all user(s) you wish to exclude from renting your aircraft. Separate each username by a comma. You are responsible for ensuring the correct spelling of the username - this text box will accept any text that you type, regardless of whether it is a valid FSE user account.
Service Access Permissions. This section allows you to work with 3rd-party user applications who may request access to your data. This could be useful for Services that perform an auto-withdrawal for lease payments or that manage your aircraft fleet (just as two examples). You can grant that access by adding the Service using the drop down menu to select the Service Name. By default, simply adding the Service Name starts with a "no access allowed" setting. To change permissions, change each slider to either "Deny" or "Allow", depending on the Service's requirements. Use the guide and screenshot below to understand what each setting does.
Cash. Granting the Service access to your cash allows the Service to READ your Cash Balance, or TRANSFER money out of your account.
Bank. Granting the Service access to your bank allows the Service to READ your bank balance, DEPOSIT money into your bank account, or WITHDRAW money directly from your bank account.
Aircraft. Granting the Service access to your aircraft permissions allows the service to PURCHASE an aircraft in your name, TRANSFER an aircraft out of your account, LEASE an aircraft from your account to another player or group, EDIT an aircraft's settings, or publish your aircraft for SALE.

Note that base price does not include IFR/AP/GPS equipment fitted to the aircraft.

See the My Flight Page section for complete details on using all of the features of the My Flight Page

Payment Logs: Up-to-the-minute financial record similar to a ledger sheet.
Note: These menus have sub-menus. If you're a member of a flight group, these menu options will open a sub-menu. Selecting the main option (ignoring the sub-menu) will show your personal information while selecting the name of a flight group will give you the data for the flight group.

For groups that you own, you can perform membership-related functions, like promoting members to group staff, deleting members from your group, send money directly to all (or some) members simultaniously.
