FlyNET - Client -> get it here !

Post by Konny » Fri Oct 21, 2005 3:01 pm

The current version is 0.6.9b
You can get it here.


The Client communicates with the FS using FSUIPC, so you need to have it installed, too: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html
You don't need to buy FSUIPC, our key will be automatically sent to FSUIPC on Client startup.

You can see the Changelog in the following posts.

Ok, and now some details about our programm.

You only need the client to actually fly your flights. It's the only possibility to get a flight done, and it has to be running during the whole flight.

It's important that you first start your flightsim, and then the client. Otherwise our program won't find the Flight Simulator. Being logged in, you can choose "Show booked flight" to make sure you booked the right flight. Proceed with "Fly booked flight". The client then makes sure you're at the departure airport and a refuel-dialog will appear. If there is some fuel left from the last flight, it will be displayed here.

If you don't have a clue about fuel calculation, there's a great freeware-tool to do that job: keroplan
Another simple way to calculate your fuel is this little formula. It is based on the fact that every aircraft needs about 4% of its weight per hour.

ZFW x 0.04 x Blocktime / ( 1 - 0.04 x Blocktime) ;Blocktime in hours ( 1.5 for 1:30 )

If you add a 30 minutes reserve + fuel to alternate + about 300kg for taxi, you shouldn't get any problems.

Well, if you entered the fuel into the refuel-dialog, your aircraft will be refueled automatically and you can minimize the client. From then on your flight will be shown on the Flight Monitor on our website.

As soon as you take off, the failure-system will be activated. Each aircraft has 4-6 parts, where the status will be saved. Which are engine 1-4, hull and gear. If one of these parts will break down, is calculated at random with the status of each part determining the probability of a failure.

If, during the flight, MS Flight Simulator notices a crash, the client will instantly end the flight. The damage will then be calculated from the true air speed and the vertical speed.

If you succesfully reached the arrival-airport and set your parking brake, the flight will be deemed to be finished. Now the status of the aircraft will be updated: Old Status - 0.1% - Touch Down Vertical Speed / 1000.
The airline income is calculated like this:
Income from tickets - [ catering costs + fuel costs ( depends on fuel price on departure airport ) + pilot salary ].
But if everything would stay like this, you would need about 10000 flights to buy a new aircraft, so a multiplicator is added to the airline's income. Currently this is x100, but we're discussing x1000. So, a flight counts like 100 flights for the airline.
If you crashed your aircraft or landed at the wrong airport, the airline has to pay all the tickets back to the passengers.


Well, that's it. Future features will be introduced in the "Features"-forum and if you still have some questions....please ask :D
