Re: Maintenance Center Profits
Regarding Maintenance Center Profits: Why do VA's keep giving away service to other airlines for free? By offering service to anyone and everyone at 25% they are making $0 money on the jobs. I mean I don't mind, as it gives me no incentive to build and maintain my own maintenance center in my littl...

Re: In Flight Failures
Just had my first in flight failure - flaps. And on long final coming into KLAS so just a matter of changing the vRef's for a flaps up landing and letting it roll out on the reversers until whoa'd up to normal braking speeds. The CRJ2 was coming here for an A check anyway (97.3%) so good timing. Ac...

Re: Advanced Finance
Is there any advantage at all to leasing gates at airports? I assume it is optional to simulate ongoing business expenses but was curious what incentive there would be in this world to lease a gate vs not leasing a gate. Also will the system know if we have more than one aircraft at the airport but...

There is a option in your airline settings to turn on or off 'Advanced Finance' this allows your VA to use several features on the platform including: To turn on Advanced Finance you must have a platinum account. To turn off Advanced Finance you must not be using one of the features that requires it...

Re: Can't Fill Plane??
I think the issue is that ENSB/Svalbard is a very small destination. Local population only 6.455 and looking at the AC you used in your EDDH to ENGM the A318 you used is configured for first class only, where you get only a small percentage of the available passengers.

Re: Leased Planes Seating
Another question on leases: Will they automatically renew or terminate? I've got a sweet deal on my 737-800 going and would like to keep it "forever". LOL I can lease this airplane for 8.6 years for the cost of one used one on the Trader List. No we don't have any auto renew features for leases, ma...

Re: Aircraft Transfers
Hi Sam, Yes after reading your posts I was thinking a 50% increase would be in order, moving it yourself should be cheaper than hiring someone to do it for your. I do admit that when I have moved aircraft myself I never thought about zeroing the passengers and cargo. I always just let the system do ...

Re: Aircraft Transfers
Hi Sam, Great work, very interesting. That the cost of your 12 stop route was only 20% more expensive than the ideal values is not too bad. I probably could build some factor in for number of stops required for shorter range aircraft but given how close it is it may not be needed. If someone really ...

Re: Admin is traveling
We ended up coming home a day early, we were ordered to evacuate the park we were camping in (Sunset State Beach) because of a storm coming in that would have high winds and heavy rain. I think they were afraid of trees being blown down and blocking the road.

Re: Aircraft Transfers
Hi Sam, interesting experiment. The current formula for transfer costs is basically estimated fuel cost plus pilot hours at 100v$ per hour. But it assumes a non stop direct flight. Of course your route is not a straight line and your making 12 stops. I suppose I could add something for estimating nu...

Re: Changing Seat Configurations
So I need to either go to an airport with a maintenance center such as LIRF where my Connie is and the seat changing is available and my Beech is at Rockford, Illiniois, KRFD and has no maintenance center so I can't store them. So I need to move to an airport with a center or get a Platinum account...

Re: Aircraft Transfers
Sounds reasonable, would not be hard to do. I suppose pilots who do transfers are more maverick than line airline pilots, and those who do instant transfers even more so

Re: CLIENT NOT RUNNING since the las update
Try deleting the fsairlines.ini file in your Documents/FSAirlines folder, if your using FSUIPC7 make sure you have the latest version installed, and as Sam said, sometimes rebooting fixes things.
