Useful for us...

We think a very interesting thing, In FLEET VA section, see a column: LAST DAY use/flight in each plane (without click aircraft information button), so we can determinate quickly if that plane is active or not.
An idea.

I would also suggest to consider converting all fuel quantity to LBS. sometimes you see KG and sometimes LBS.
Because the FS works with lbs, why not relating all fuel with lbs?

FS can work both with lbs and kgs.
Just select the appropriate option.

You can also select lbs/kgs for the FSA website via your profile.

Indeed you can, but then it gets confusing becuase the client shows everything in KG's when starting your flight. Would it be possible to have the client be able to have an option LBS or KG's? :)

This should be fixed.
It's rather annoying.

So any chance of an option to choose a consistent weight unit any time soon?
Both at the website and client?

Guys, instead of piling onto a thread on a different subject, you could use the "Search" function in the upper right corner. The issue of LBS/KG has been addressed multiple times. It is, has been, and will be, addressed when they have time to get to it. It's been on the list, but there are several other things that are higher priority for being fixed before they get to it.

Nothing really turn up in my 1 hour search for anything on this...

I can see that many issues needs attention,
but seems like this has been status quo for years,
so a reminder is not at all uncalled for.

A reminder isn't needed if it's on the list. In addition, if you searched for an hour and didn't find anything, then you didn't do a very good search. I'm sorry to put it that way, but I found 3 references on the first try.

A reminder that does appear to be called for is that once again, this is STILL not a for-profit network. No one is getting paid to do work on this network. The fees paid by the vast minority to support the VA's and those who want a few extra options MIGHT break them even in a couple of years, but that's dependent on the costs not going up significantly. They still do this in their spare time. Konrad and Claudio are in school and Joe has a full-time (and recently much more than full time) job. While you may not see the "to do" list, it's being updated and watched religiously and guess what - stuff's coming off.

LB/KG conversion is a "nicety" not a "necessity". The developers are understandably concentrating on those things that make the network run properly and efficiency. Once they get all of those done (like the VA Integration Pack), then they'll start to address some of the other lower priority features.

I don't like locking threads, but this one is going nowhere.
