It would be very helpful if you gave the name of your airline.

1. To book a flight, you must have: aircraft and a flightplan. An extensive guide can be found here: http://www.fsairlines.net/forum/viewtop ... =60&t=3185

2. To earn money, you must complete flights to earn revenue. All airlines start out with $25,000,000. You can either buy an aircraft cheaper than $25,000,000, or you can lease an aircraft. Again, the guide above will teach you all about leasing and purchasing aircraft.

3. You have to have an aircraft to fly.

4. First, book a flight. Next, start FS2004. Set the time, date, weather, aircraft, etc. and press Fly!. Once you're in the simulator, open the client (either minimize FS9, or press the Windows key on the keyboard). Follow all instructions in the client, then fly your aircraft while the client monitors it in the background. Once you've landed and parked, go back to the client and press End Flight.

1 its under fleet- then buy/lease- then lease.
2 10k is your personal money, your airline gets 25mil with is plenty to least planes with.

It seems you're a pilot of a pretty large VA, not the CEO of the VA. It would also help if you gave out your username (or better yet, put your FSAirlines signature in your signature). Pilots normally do not have the ability to buy, sell, or lease aircraft. Those jobs are for the higher management people like the CEO's, Flight Instructors, etc. The $10,000 is your personal money and is generally useless, unless you need to buy a ticket to get to another airport without flying an actual flight.

The guide I gave you is for pilots starting their own airlines. You simply joined as a humble pilot of another airline, meaning you have limited abilities and your role is to fly airplanes and maintain a friendly environment. The reason I'm guessing you can't book a flight is because the CEO's of your airline did not give you type ratings to the aircrafts. The way to fix this is to send them a message requesting the type ratings for the aircrafts you wish to fly. Of course, some CEO's require student pilots to pass training flights. Depending on your CEO, you may only need to fly 1 training flight, or if you're unlucky, 50 training flights.

If you start your own airline, then the guide I gave you will be more applicable. I'm actually very surprised the admins did not officially PUBLISH (not a forum post, but an actual PDF or some sort) a guide to FSAirlines for pilots and owners of airlines. The system can be pretty complicated for first time users.

Hi,

Avoid changing the time in the sim once client is started. The time in brackets is the time that gets logged and which should show correctly.

i want to add this
i make the GMT time 19:30
it seems that the started time is correct.
But what happened then, so the final time is 19:21??

About the time, even though I am not 100% sure, there is (or used to be) a bug in FS between western and eastern Turkey (around USK, KFK) which cause a timeshift.
