Re: Route Cargo Limit

Actually a very cool idea for those who want to use package cargo only. Thanks as always for your hard work Joe! Maybe I should spin out a quick video on this subject showing where the "limit cargo" boxes are in the system.

Re: GA Aircraft Cargo

yeah, that appears to be something out of the scope of my permissions and abilities as an assistant administrator. In the aircraft editor, the default seating is unavailable to me, so unfortunately you will have to wait for Joe to get to it.

Re: GA Aircraft Cargo

Ahhh, this is how it's done - fold the seats down and/or remove them completely and then use a cargo net just aft of the door frames. http://mountainwaveaviation.com/attachment-methods/ I think I would want a "net wrap" on the cargo itself as well to keep it from flying around back there in any turb...

Re: The simulator crashed when passing 180 longitude.

Are you crossing the date line at accelerated speed? You may want to try it at 1x speed only as you get near it and then accelerate after punching across the date line. It sounds more "sim related" than FSAirlines related. This is interesting - I have never flown international so it's a new question...

Re: GA Aircraft Cargo

Yes I would vote for that as well, I think all GA aircraft need as much help as they can get!

I'm also seeing the "crew size" as 2 and that should be 1 as well.
UPDATE: I am seeing the default seating now as 3 business class seats. Thanks to Joe!

Re: GA Aircraft Cargo

One thing I have noted is that for many aircraft the real world Operating weights and FSAirlines weights are off by a bit, that may be due to variations of the same aircraft and there is no way FSAirlines can account for every variation of every type of airplane. So some give and take has to be in o...

Re: GA Aircraft Cargo

You can always self limit your pax count in the seating tool on the aircraft information page. In FSAirlines there is no distinction between pax weights in First, Business or Economy - aka we don't fly kids or if we do they have so much stuff with them they weigh in as adults. LOL The actual weight ...

Re: GA Aircraft Cargo

Some GA aircraft like the 208, Kodiak, 206, 207, PC12 have removable seats for "multi mission role" but they are all "user variable". While you would never remove the executive interior of a 208 or PC12, the more rugged "utility" version you could. So it's a wide open market and going to be very har...

And no I was not responding to the GA topic - I was referring to pax jets ... but you have shown real world precedent in these unusual times so I guess anything goes - if it fits - ship it. LOL

Re: Route Cargo Limit

I'm sure there are a lot of "seat manipulators" out there who are adjusting seating depending on the packages available. You might face some backlash from that group if you restrict package cargo to default seating / baggage constraints. For example, one could fly a regional jet with all biz class a...

Re: Aircraft Bulk Buy Discounts

I will state what I said in another thread - I think it's getting really complicated now to the point it may be turning new potential virtual airline operators away as the learning curve keeps getting steeper and steeper with each new feature rollout. Your compromise of instant transfer at standard ...

Re: My 5 Cents

To be honest at this point in time, FSAirlines has gotten so complicated it may be turning off newest users who try to wade through all of the features. I would suggest a moratorium on new features until the backlog of current things get cleared. Just my opinion based on data / comments from my tuto...

Re: Partnerships & Codesharing - Unravel the Confusion Please

To the best of my knowledge it is NOT active at this time. The priority list for Joe is quite extensive and as other issues come up that go to the top of the list, lower priority features like this one get pushed down. Amazing as it may sound, FSAirlines is essentially a "one man band" with Joe our ...

Re: Charter flights option

As a workaround, as long as you don't have too many packages on board, let it load to MZFW and then in the client click CHANGE on the cargo and it will throw out enough generic cargo to get you down to MTOW. Just load the fuel you want and when you get the overweight in the client, click that cargo ...

Re: Pilot Permission Update.

AHHHHH ha! Got it now - New tab on main page that allows individual pilots to be assigned specific fleets and if that is in play then use the "If Assigned" function in the rank.... Yes that adds a ton of flexibility, thanks!
