The formula for max pax I get, but I'm still unclear how this relates to ticket price and the number of passengers booked. For example, by that formula: If I want to do a "sightseeing" flight in a Cessna 172, departing and arriving at the same airport, for let's say 20 mins. Distance is zero, so I g...

My current work-around for the taxi speed limit is to increase the sim rate to 2x or 4x once I've set a good taxi speed. I know that's kinda cheesy, but it works if you've got a two-mile straightaway or something and don't want to spend five minutes rolling in a straight line. After all, this is fli...

Landed at "wrong" airport

This is more a request for help than a bug report. I landed at PANC and shut down on the eastern side of the field, at the gate. However, FlyNET thinks I shut down at the adjacent seaplane base, and therefore messed up my flight by saying I landed at the wrong airport. Can this please be fixed? I la...

New uses for private aircraft

I would like to see the private aircraft side of FlyNET expanded. Currently, they are just money pits. While this is largely realistic, there are SOME benefits derived from aircraft ownership in the real world. Would it be possible to make them useful for more things? For example, giving "rides" to ...

John,

My sentiments exactly. Your idea seems like it would be easier to implement in the system, and it seems like I've heard talk of it before... maybe someday! :D

A King Air hauling 6 passengers will NEVER bring in the kinds of profits a 777 hauling almost 400 will, and it's not intended to. The problem here is, that there's just no way to make money at all on FlyNET with, say, a Gulfstream IV, and I'd like to see that fixed. As far as making a fortune overni...

Hourly Charters

I know this topic has been discussed before: How to make it profitable for small, GA-type aircraft to be profitable in FlyNET service. The past suggestions I've read have been to make some kind of fare-class system so an airline could sell "executive" fares and therefore make it profitable to fly so...

How about registering real estate in the database?

There are a ton of little grass strips that are privately owned and have airport identifiers already... or maybe you could own a private island if you were rich enough? :wink:

I noticed the "B74D" yesterday and I have a lot of problems with that aircraft. The gross weight is WAY too low. The numbers are all wrong in the database, so of course you're going to get ridiculous results from flights done with that aircraft. I think the idea of keeping track of the range for a p...

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something...

Looks like the forum is up, but the site itself is still down? Or is there somewhere else I need to go to log in and get back to business as usual?

A long time ago, I just un-checked a box somewhere in the settings that allows crashes with AI aircraft. If they run into me (or I run into them) we just go right through each other. Until there's a decent ATC system for flight simulator, there's no point in flying with ATC. But I still like to see ...

Same thing just happened to me today! Everything looked normal until I finished the flight. It calculated ticket revenue, but no crew or catering costs, and the bottom line was zero. The website thinks the flight is booked/enroute, but the client can't find a booked flight for me. It was the second ...
