LOL, why's that? If a lease makes more sense than buying, then by all means use it. My airline does that and it makes perfect business sense.

Back on topic...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

EDIT: IF ** and that's the big IF.. that's what the dev's want. I'm led to beleive by some comments made by some of the admin here that they'd prefer to not go there... and that FSA should be more about the fun.. I have the feeling as well that the devs "Dont wanna go there". It would take coding, ...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

I hoestly think this is a good idea in theory. BUT until they bring in equalization of these kind of things charged BFORE the airlines multiplier goes into it, then I have to say I'd vote it "no" if there was a vote. Too bad there not as open to discuss things like this in the forums as the fellows...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

You guys are all talking about smaller airlines with small fleets basically.. a major flaw to be found is what about the airlines that have small crews and a large fleet? how would they transition into this? I have over 50 aircraft right now... maximum of 10 a week go flying, i store my aircraft in...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

One more thing I just thought of as well... There are tools already existant in the flightplan option to allow for route scheduling to take the aircraft automatically off the schedule when the said aircraft lands at it's hub/maintenance facility at a predetermined number of legs. For example..... Yo...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

One thing that concerns me is leasing aircraft and the way they'd be hit by gate penalties. Not all aircraft end up at the correct airport after the lease and therefore would incur a gate fee to the owning airline which would be unfair to them because it's a system and leasee airline issue. Two eas...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

Just for the record, any actual "ownership" of gates or property (airports) would be a bad, bad idea. That is what FSE is all about, and you cant really fly where YOU want to... and the beauty of FSA is that you can makes routes and fly where your heart desires, and have a hell of a lot of fun doin...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

Given I was a former flight student who's flight school had an MEL for their training aircraft, I'm quite familiar with the door-stop/make-shift-weapon-to-beat-a-terrorist-to-death-with. It think it had to have added 20 pounds to our weight and balance in those poor Cherokees. :mrgreen: LOL, I don'...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

Every airline has a maintenance facility based somewhere. These facilities are usually located at the airlines first hub ever established. These facilities include hangers and parts bays. Most of the airlines maintenance personel work at these facilities where most of the maintenance resources are ...

Re: Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

I've stated before that I like the idea of maintenance centers, so long as they aren't the only place you must do maintenance (as that's not realistic). I like the idea of discounts for the facilities. Monthly gate fees are also a good idea, but would we differentiate from gate types? At the very b...

Hubs Maintenance Facilities And Gates

Just thought I would throw this idea out there.. Gate space and ramp space isn't free in the real world. One of the biggest factors for designing ops for an airline is based on the costs of and profits of operating outa certain airports. Below is my idea for FSA airlines: Airlines can lease gates at...

Re: FSA Client Landing Light Detection

It is ask for many times, but it is "take it or leave it", with some good addon planes on FSA as far as I can see. Make a poll on the issue, and see what comes out to close the topic forever. Gr Ruud Thanks, but a poll won't do any good if the Devs don't wanna do it. I am still waiting on Forum rig...

Re: FSA Client Landing Light Detection

Hi, I'll give my tuppence here. I suppose whichever a/c or software you use is down to you the user. Asking any developer to change their coding to keep a minority of users happy because they want to use a combination of a/c and software which causes a conflict is a big ask and why should they. You...

Re: FSA Client Landing Light Detection

I think I just found an answer as long as the devs are willing to make the change to the client (god I wish I knew how to program). Anyway... Put a button on the client window when the client is in flight mode (after you have loaded the aircraft and started the flight on the client) that toggles the...

Re: FSA Client Landing Light Detection

its also not a fsx problem... i have used fsx strictly with FSA and have never once had a problem. I never mentioned it was an FSX problem... The problem is that the programers are using the FSX landing light trigger for some other purpose. In the case of the maddog, a gauge or some DLL is making s...
