Initial Views
Posted: Mon Jul 28, 2008 11:48 pm
As a new user to FSAirlines I thought I would share my initial brief views.
1. Username box will not accept more than 13 char. this seems to be a known issue searching the forums.
2. The client does not see to recognize your booked flights if you have the client open during the time of booking. While this is not a big deal, it is just an annoyance to have to book then open. It would be nice to have an option to have a button in the client to retrieve Flight if the client was already open. This may even eliminate the need to close the client between flights.
3. The website seems to load pages a little slow, maybe it is because you don’t see a progress bar after you click a link, and this might help give a sense of something happening.
4. When loading the logon page, if you start typing in your details before the page loads, it refreshes and requires complete details again.
5. Using V1.6 client, the status only reflects Takeoff once airborne, it would be nice to see "Cruise" or some other stat to show the client is still collecting data. I had two flights now where it started recording data but somewhere midflight it stopped. This happened on 3+hour flights, could be frustrating for some.
6. Once logged onto the website, there is no flight monitor. I see when you go to the site but, once you logon the link is gone.
7. When creating routes, it would be nice to have an option for the system to create a return trip if you want. This is more of a time issue if you were setting up a lot of flights and know there will be return trips.
FSAirlines is a great idea and will have a great future; I look forward to seeing what evolves from it. If any more info is needed on the above items let me know. I don’t want it give my opinions of how things could look if they already exist or under development.
