TNCM - can it p[lease be upgraded?

[Brian Peace]

Hi guys. Every time I go to fly out of TNCM there are no passengers. I would guess that is due to it's enormous popularity in flightsim and the relatively small population it serves. I'd like to ask if the admins could see fit that perhaps this airport could be upgraded greatly so that we can all enjoy it, and the excellent payware scenery for it.

Here's a pic of tonight... it is like this almost every night.



Thanks for taking the time to look at it!

Cheers

The problem is Brian, we already bumped it up once. We can't just keep bumping up airports because they run out of passengers. It defeats the purpose of having them. I've put a message out for the other Admins to get their opinion on the matter and I'll get back to you on what we decide.

Cap. I know you bumped it once. But every VA and every pilot enjoys this place, and a lot of us have paid good money for a scenery package for it too. Just look at the amount of aircraft and pilots there it's a "unique" place in the world of flightsim (as well as in the real world of plane spotting, etc) aside from the old kai Tak this place is the pillar of plane spotting..worldwide.. Looking forward to your decision.

There should be at least 200 persons at TNCM which I have flown some time ago :p.

By the way, do the program also add pax when you bring them to an airport?

cap the only problem i have with the population is the fact that this isnt RW... there really cant be a limit for this. In RW there are only what, 150 max large passenger airlines in the world? but here we have 842 airlines with almost 4000 pilots.

shouldnt the numbers be based on us (the users) more and not the RW? i mean the only way the RW numbers would work is if the number of VA's was limited... i mean the whole carribean flown pretty heavily, and alot of the airports i serve i have notice that they are down to 100-200...

any decisions made on this one way or another? I'd like to fly this area tonight (sunday night on vatsim in the carrib is fun). Thanks
