After not playing an actual V2 I tried Patch 11.4 and am a little bit grumpy: after hours spending on hiring airport slots, route planning, leasing airliners, buying facilities etc I wanted to check, if I need to assign pilots to special routes (on start clicked on play until March 24, when I couls start the first routes from my used main base on TXL). When I have clicked on a pilot in HOME - EMPLOYEE menu the game crashed... If you tell me where I will find the crashlog I can post it here.
And I found some parts from the old version (e.g. 0.3.9 to 0.50) missing or not working in the actual V2. I don`t know if they are not working or not have been implemented yet (in random order):
1) Choose Homebase on start for existing Airline
2) Miami Seaplane Base has Canadian flag and State FL missing
3) "Page Back" Option when in e.g. Airport -> Facilities menu go back to Airport menu with this button
4) If once clicked music off remember for next start
5) Extremely long loading times on loading all airlines on game start, on Airport menu on the way to buy facilities (couldn't play until only one route was started)
6) On starting a new game it should be possible to get "scheduled slots" from day 1 on larger airports or from the date on being received
7 ) Change settings like language, currency etc on game start
8) On calendar: Button "GoTo" a special date and simulate the time between more rapidly might be added
9) Automatic movement from closing airport to its replacement including actualization in route menu
10) Why do I need 2 slots per flight, competitors only 1?
11) "Flight School" on Employee menu not working, menu can't be opened
12) Airline cooperations e.g. "OneWorld" etc not implemented yet or where can I sign or step out?
13) Possibility to chosse "Playing includig existing subsidiaries" on game start
14) Building hubs on any airport nowhere to find
15) Add +10 Minutes to start & landing times as "reachng air corridor" to make flight times on shorter routes more realistic (same problem as in e.g. 0.3.9.4, some flights way too short) and turnover times different and less for smaller and more for larger aircraft
16) On Home Menu: buy flight simulators for special aircraft types e.g. on Servic under-menu (as in V 0.5.0)
17) On Home Menu: under-menu FLEET: show if aircraft are owned or leased
18) Keep original Reg._no. for leased aircraft and have the possibility to reserve special Reg.-Nos. on ordering new airliners
19) On Home Menu: under-menu EMPLOYEES: show total number of hired pilots, show how much of them are not assignded and how much are close to retirement
20) On Employee menu: implementation of "Home market" for pilots would be nice. I haven't found only 1 german pilot at game start. Perhaps specialisation on special types of aircraft should be re-implemented instead of qualification.
21) Pilots on employee market should be younger than 35 as it has been in older versions and the name database is a little bit funny
22) On Airports menu: when "surfing" in an airport information: what is the "Subscribe" or "Unsubscribe" -Button for?
23) Restrictions: is it allowed to fly with an airline registered in Europe or US to a restricted country or do only the airlines of these countries are not allowed to fly to EU or US?
24) Especially large airports might operate 24 hours
25) Used airliner market should be bigger, on End of March not only 1 used airliner was left
26) Used airliners should possible to lease again
27) Leasing unused aircraft from competitors should be possible
28) Is it possible to end leasing from one day to the other?
29) On airliner info: display if Prop or Jet
30) On Airport menu: sorting by region (as in older versions) should be reimplemented
31) More Leasing companies should be implemented, eg some specialized on Russian aircraft, small aircraft with less than 50 or 100 seats or something like that
32) On Airport menu: Button "Players airport" should implemented again to show only airports with slots from the player (including slot-sount)
33) Are the slots-counts based on gate-count or runways or on which basis?
34) Airport upgrades should be possible again, eg extend runway length, additional runways, more slots or extended opening hours per day, change airports license from domestic to international
35) When leasing airliners Reg.-No. D-AAAZ was given to 2 different airliners
36) Possibility to have a kind of "One-click-Option" on Airport menu to equip several airports with identical facilities
37) On plannning routes: on plalnning multiple routes save the origin airport until its changed by the player. I started with Air Berlin, not-changeable homebase is Dusseldorf and planned all my routes from Berlin-TXL and it felt like ages until I was ready on planning only 40 routes...
38) I hope I don't have to demand slots for every new season. ANd a flight plan should be used for whole year. Perhaps an additional button if summer or winter season diescrepancy by the player is wanted
39) On Route planning: on choosing destination airport: sort airport by cities name and add IATA-code to be easier to identify and show all airports with planned routes in different color (light green eg)
40) Is there really cabin crew added for all aircraft and will they be shown anywhere? And will their salary will be displayed on finance menu?
41) Will the finance menu be extended so that it will be possible to see income/ expenses eg one year by every month?
Quite a lot of stuff and questions, I would be happy if you can give some information to all the points although it might take some time to do so.
I like the option of choosing different menu colors. Looks nice
And I love the new way the maps are implemented, so that I can see even some roads names. Absolutely gorgeous!!! 
But never forget: the most important thing is to have a stabile game with less bugs as possible, that should be the main concern. Every new implementation only after all bugs are sorted out.
Ready for now.
