Hi

This one is gonna be short=) I was just wondering if it would be possible and not too much complicated for the admins to add a schedule remark graph to the flight info page, so that one could know if the flight was made ahead schedule/on time/late?

This would be really helpful for our company!

Regards,
Alex

In the integration pack, it's all set up like that for your website, however, that system is set to GMT and therefore makes all of it's decisions of early/late based on that. I believe it may be possible to implement this in the future though.

Is there a chance of making it FS Time?

Like is there some waay for the client to detect the time in Flight sim and use that rather then GMT time? (all you have to do is set the time throught FS rather then figure it with every flight.)

Only a Idea.

Currently, no.

FS Time and the client are 99% of the time not compatible.

Ok so there is no chance of that, evan with a new client?

That would be something Claudio or Konny would be able to answer better than myself but I believe not because FS Time affects the time settings on the flight and causes big problems usually.

Yeah, this feature works great in the integration pack, but only shows 10 latest flights :( Our company schedule is based on Zulu time, so we wouldn't have experienced any problems in future if the feature is added on the very VA crew centre. Hope this'll be made some day...

GMT time is only used for logging of the flight. ie, when the flight is actually logged to the site.

early/on time/late are all based off of the FS times which get logged by the client and the early/on time/late status' are only based on arrival times. these times arent dependant on GMT because FS will adjust the time zones on there own.

look at the bottom of the integration page for the reliability, there you can select the flights to be shown from the following time periods: 24hrs, last 7 days, 15days or 30days.

as for your request of the ontime status on the main site, i would think that would be easy to be implement since it would be just on the site end, but joe, konny or dakurt would have to give further info on that.

I like this feature, too, and I think we will add that to the main website, too. Maybe also give a bonus for pilots flying on time. I'ld also use local times to compare with the schedule as this is what you see on a schedule as passenger in reality, too.

Hi,

One thing to bear in mind when you consider this request is the flightplans are there primarily for 'the route'. Pilots can choose to fly at any time they like using the same flightplan to give themselves their own variety to see the sim in different light conditions etc. Some days they may want to do a night flight landing at dawn, other times a flight in daylight hours or takeoff at dusk land at night etc etc etc. If you start asking pilots to fly to scheduled times, unless you create more plans for the route they will always fly it at the same time of day.

Regards

John

Ok, I think best would be not to show anything if the departure time is not within a 15 minutes tolerance.

If you want to use the reliabilty info from the integration pack you have to enter Zulu times. If you're only using our main website then it doesn't really matter and you can choose whatever you like better.
