Stopovers

maybe at one point in time, it would be nice to have a stop-over possibility with flynet...
For example:
you want to go from toronto to frankfurt, but you airplane has too short of a range. so you make a stop in Halifax to refuel, let's say, and then fly the rest of the flight, all without stopping FS and the client..

sounds to me though like something that would be complicated to code, so it's just an idea, but it would be nice...

Yes, that sounds difficult and there aren't many of those flights in the real world any more. Most flights stop somewhere that will make them money and then continue on to the final airport to make more money. It's more practical.

You could intriduce a set of flights so if you want to fly from airport A to airport B and the distance is beyond your aircraft's range yo could break A-B to A-C, C-D,... X-B.

@ BigQ
You already can do multiple flights without needing to exit the client or the FS, you only need to book the new flight on the website. But I guess that's not enough, so there should be a possibility to refuel the aircraft at any time of the flight if you are on ground, which actually shouldn't be too hard to include

Actually Konny it's a pretty good idea IF we are talking about adding in the future space for private flights (ie pilot owned a/c)

Well, it's because for some reason if i want to immediately do another flight right after, i need to completely shut down the client and FS8... i've tried to keep the client running in the past, but doesn't work, at least with me...

I've noticed the same problem myself. In fact if I do the client stays good for about 20 minutes with FS9... then fails... if it lasts any longer than that then it fails at a more aggravating time... like after landing...

Hm, strange, I made two 10-minute flights without closing the FS or the Client and I didn't experience any problems.
What kind of failure happens after the 20 minutes ? Does the FS crash ? Or the Client ? Do you get an error message ?

the client resets the flight to booked saying it lost connection.
