Delivery airport Edits

We have had a number of members recently try to change the delivery airport field on aircraft because they want them delivered to there home airport rather than the airport where the real world factory is located. One pilot who changed the delivery airport of the A321neo to EGNX. I am wondering why ...

Schedules

One thing I have been working on recently is a new feature called ‘Schedules’. Schedules are a series of connected routes that once constructed can be assigned to a pilot. The pilot then has to those routes in order. When I get around to automated pilots it will be important as a way to control them...

Re: Fuel tank sizes always wrong

Good answer Sam. One thing to note with XP is we use the XPUIPC interface that is compatible with FSUIPC, in the MS Sims there is a identifying number for each tank that indicates its location and the order is centre tank left main tank left aux tank left tip tank right main tank right aux tank righ...

Re: Happy Pilots

I was thinking about how over working would effect the 'happiness' score, for automatic pilots it won't matter, the system will not allow them to do more than 100 hours a month, but for our human pilots we are not going to limit them, I did a check and we have over 100 pilots who have flown more tha...

Wrong Airport Handling

I have been seeing a lot more wrong airport penalties recently, I think its because M$ has been updating the airports in MSFS much more often than sims traditionally do, they just did what I think was the 15th update. Currently if you land at what the client thinks is the wrong airport, either desti...

Happy Pilots

One thing I have been thinking about recently is a score for how happy a pilot is. For human pilots it would be a fun fact, when I get around to automated pilots it would be important, because happy pilots make fewer mistakes while unhappy pilots make more mistakes and are likely to quit your airlin...

Re: "Buy ticket" timeframe

i could see making it an option, but I see very few pilots using it, but it might be an option for the VA. When I get around to doing automated pilots (which I have been thinking about a lot recently and doing some prep) the auto's would need to spend the time. I have though about some requirement o...

Re: "Buy ticket" timeframe

That is possible, but then you have to balance realism vs usability. How would I feel if in the limited time I have to fly in the simulator, FSA told me I had to wait hours to be able to fly because I need to transfer to a different airport. If a specific aircraft needs time to transfer, well I can ...

Re: Time Fix

I looked at that, look at the duration it shows 14:37 (2.6h) This is a known issue cause by time zone weirdness in the sim comparing the departure clock and the arrival clock, the important number is the (2.6h) number which is the number of flight hours recorded. Right now I don't have the time to d...

Re: Leased Planes Seating

Good question, at first I though I must have locked that down but I just tried it and am able to change the seat configuration. So the question is what should it do? Lock it down so you can't change it or force the airline to restore it to its original configuration?

Re: Lost account

I don't think I understand your issue, you say your account 'disappeared' but you have a link to the existing account, and I see you were active on it about an hour after posting this, did you figure out your issue?

Re: Aircraft base - clearly indicated

Personally I think putting a base on each aircraft is a bit excessive. If you want to specify which airport an aircraft is based at I have seen airlines use the aircraft name field for that, but being able to set the base on an aircraft and expect a parking discount for that is a non starter. Just s...

Protect route data

In the last several months we have had a couple airlines contact me about others 'copying' there routes. One because they though someone had, the other about the possibility of someone doing so. Now for the record there is no specific rule against it and I am not going to take any action against som...
