It has been quiet on our VA discord channel as well. I am up for a discussion on any topic. :D

What about the idea of bulk fuel purchases for VAs? For example our VA could buy bulk fuel at our hub (KLAS) and use it to feed our aircraft at a discount. However, if we overbuy, we risk letting it go unused and waste v$. There would be no tremendous game-play advantage. However, it might provide a little more depth to FSA.

You know I have been toying with the idea of VA's being able to setup 'fuel storage tanks' at airports. Aircraft could move there extra fuel from there tanks into the storage tanks and then moved back into other aircraft later. Especially useful for remote airports where no fuel is available, a tanker could fly in, fill the tanks and then local aircraft could use it. Of course then I would have to enforce the fuel restrictions at airports. Maybe after cargo is done.

Well I am 2300 miles away from my main sim at home, been a long summer overseeing house projects for my mom. Still waiting on the driveway to be dug out and relaid. Over the years it has risen to the point of being nothing but a damn dam and in the spring thaw it backs up the water that then finds a new route through the garage and back porch on the house. We are putting an end to that!

I did bring my "travel sim" with me and bought a new Acer Predator i7 GTX1060 and put in a hybrid SSD/HDD 1TB for FSX. Win10 runs on its own 256 gig SSD. It runs AWESOME!!!! I also found a free traffic program that puts realistic airlines in the skies World of AI It's dated but so is FSX. The important thing is it works and you don't have to load up the whole world to clog your system up like the payware traffic programs do. With Active Sky Next, any Carenado add on, World of AI (traffic at 75%) and graphics set at full / very dense, I still run right to my preset limit of 48 fps. 8)
