Re: New Penalty Idea
ok but now why would you only monitor it near the airport? if you would want something like that than the only fair way to do it would be to have a "check" throughout the whole flight... but that is going to cause a heck of a lot of people to get annoyed... hence the reason they didnt add the button in MS train simulator which engineers have to press every 15 (or maybe its 30) seconds or else the train stops itself.
there have been times where i have monitored the whole flight but torwards the end i had to go do something and it took too long and have come back circling, so why should i be pentalized but yet someone who does a 16hr flight on 1x probably will be monitoring their screen maybe a total of 2hrs if that... or maybe they are even sleeping during it. that doesnt seem very fair to me...

Re: New Penalty Idea
I have to completely agree with flightsimmer here....There would be alot of complaints and a lot of VA's would probably get very frustrated.
Re: New Penalty Idea
If you want to control only the ones leave the simulator unattended then the 18000 feet or lower thingy wouldn't be very good because if you are flying online (let's say during an event or fly-in) the ATCO might require you to hold somewhere near airport (bear in mind that not all the ATCOs follow real life rules) and you will be dinged.
So, if the aim is only to control the ones who leave FS unattended (thus, those who overfly or hold over destination airport at filled FL) there should be a FL / altitude option inside the client.

Re: New Penalty Idea
How would this affect operations into places like Quito and La Paz, where several approaches start at 17-18000' close to the airport? Could this be implemented with altitudes above AGL instead of MSL?

Re: New Penalty Idea
One minor correction - the alerter *IS* in MS Train simulator, you can just turn it off (unlike on the real thing). But then again, if you wreck your train, there's no financial reprecussions (virtual) like there is with FSAirlines.flightsimer wrote:ok but now why would you only monitor it near the airport? if you would want something like that than the only fair way to do it would be to have a "check" throughout the whole flight... but that is going to cause a heck of a lot of people to get annoyed... hence the reason they didnt add the button in MS train simulator which engineers have to press every 15 (or maybe its 30) seconds or else the train stops itself.

Re: New Penalty Idea
It works quite well if you have it enabled. It does exactly what it's supposed to - it applies the brakes if you don't respond to it within a certain amount of time.

Re: New Penalty Idea
mine never did and i ran on realistic settings... i havent played that game in a long time though because my one disk got screwed up and after my computer crashed i couldnt reinstall it. but i always remember just going and never having to hit it...CAPFlyer wrote:It works quite well if you have it enabled.

was mad that they axed aces right before ts2 was suppose to come out. hope the new company that the developers just started will finish it though i doubt MS will allow that.

Re: New Penalty Idea
I have train sim too. Too bad there's not a FSTrains.net! LOL.....
economy system for train driving would be cool.
back on topic.
penalties like this would be a headache to the admins.... too many complaints would probably arise. No real need for it, and it would create more of a headache than it solves.

Re: New Penalty Idea
Very interesting about the trains, especially from admin who complain about off topic replies
Anybody with views on the proposed penalty??

Re: New Penalty Idea
I don't complain about off topic posts. Topics can wander. It's when people want support for a different issue in the same thread that I ask for it to be moved or when it just gets so far off into left (or right) field when the original issue hasn't been addressed. In this case, there has been plenty of discussion and I don't see any reason why it won't continue if others choose to weigh in.
Re: New Penalty Idea
the client already looks at AGL level... why not make it AGL instead of MSL and tht would work for the high ALT airports
Re: New Penalty Idea
Although in principal I have no objection to the idea, but there are so many other things that 'could' be used to make the system more realistic which is what this thread is basically about. If all the issues regarding realism were going to be addressed for flynet, it would take a lot of the enjoyment and fun out of the environment.
Just out of interest, how would a potential penalty fix make flynet better, how would it take into account different scenery files, and if you want to add a new penalty, why don't you stop any flight over x1, or flying direct gps routes getting recorded in the stats page for airlines/pilots?

Re: New Penalty Idea
What if we fly on VATSIM ? We can get direct intersection which is behind airport or we can get hold on 34000ft like on Madeira. When big events appear i know holdings for 2 hours on 34000ft ! So...
