Hi Joao,

You can create a training type flight rather than a scheduled type flight and then it wont effect your airlines reputation.
As for your lights its only the landing lights that count. The thresholds are that they must be on when less than 1000ft above the ground and off 10,000 feet above sea level.

I think that only Konny can change the name of an airline but it has been done.

Taxi speed: Keep below 25kts GROUNDSPEED at all times (beware of tailwind giving you false g/s)
Landing run : Re above, there is a timer which starts ticking on touchdown - if you are late slowing to below 25kts you will incur excess taxi speed viloation.
Landing lights : must be ON below 1000' AGL for take-off and landing - Beware high terrain.
Landing lights : must be OFF above 10,000' AGL
Speed below 10,000' : Must be 250kts IAS or below - watch out for windspeed changes in FS.

Each of the above will knock 5% off the rating for the flight.

Thanks Gents, it's all starting to sink in :wink:

BTW, Joe, Konny already changed my VA name - switching the apostrophe with a grave accent - and it seems that you were right on target (concerning my problem with my first aircraft transaction). But this time I think it's Heather that may come to change her VA name.

One thought... may someone could compile the various answers given here and create a sticky about the Client's functions for newcomers like me. Or maybe add them to the rules page on the website?

Best, everyone!

Ok, the first flight is in!

It was a short training hop from Nice to Marseille, France, on our new DC4. Now my question is... I believe this is the first time I've heard of a bonus. What's that about? Thanks again, fellows!

you get a bonus if you fly with a maximum simulation rate of 4 or below:
4x = 5%
2x = 10%
1x = 20%
