I just managed to build one Joe so all is OK now thanks.

Sam, Sabahassani, Stan and Harvester,

I can not thank you enough for the help you have given me on testing this cargo system. I am sure we are not done, no software product is ever really done, but the help you have provided has really made big difference in making the launch of this fairly complex system much smother than I could have imagined. You all have my eternal thanks.

Hey there Joe
the only thing i did was enjoying this great system and just doing my part in making our community better, the time and effort you did put into this really is something of marvelous achievement. Thank you again and keep up the good work

[Stan]

All the thanks belong to you Joe,there is a lot of work gone into this Cargo Program and i am really enjoying it.
Just one thing to report and that is the capacity of the Large Warehouses appears to be 1,000,000kgs instead of 100,000kgs.
Yours Stan

Yours Stan

Its supposed to be 1,000,000, are you seeing 100,000 somewhere?

[Stan]

Well its hard to explain at this time of night,but when i store packages in my large warehouses it says capacity 100,000kgs but if i put 80,000kgs in to it it says 920,000kgs is left to store packages in.I would expext it to say 20,000kgs if the capacity is 100,000kgs.

[Stan]

On the Airport packages page when i am loading packages into my Cargo warehouse it says in the drop down box:-load MIA Cargo VHHH warehouse (241,200kgs available)(100,000kgs max)

Ah, the "(100,000kgs max)" is the maximum package size, not warehouse capacity, that should probably be more clear.

[Stan]

Ha now i understand.

You are most welcome Sir! I can not thank you enough for saving FSA from the trash bin - which is where it was headed with no support available when you stepped in and took over command.

Hey curious question: I understand the normal 2 week paydown thing for not making on time deliveries now. But what about priority freight? Is that more black/white? miss it you don't get paid?

Thanks Cat, i'm glad my efforts are being appreciated.

As to the priority cargo paydown, its just twice as fast as normal cargo. So its a 1 week limit with two days to get full payment.

Can we increase the range for 200 / 40 kg Packages?

I'm trying to make use of my warehouses, and my idea is to take many 200 kg packages in a big freighter from New York to my hub in London.

From there I'm distributing the smaller packages all over Europe in narrow-body aircraft.

From there I'm distributing the smaller packages all over Europe in narrow-body aircraft.

Right now 90% of 200 kg packages are set for destinations up to 4000 nm and the remaining 10% are set for destinations from 2500 to 8000 nm, so that narrow body passenger aircraft have some packages for long range flights.

I did a quick check at JFK for out going packages,
to London/EGLL there are 89 x 2000 kg packages and 806 x 200 kg packages,
to Amsterdam/EHAM there are 94 x 2000 kg packages and 545 x 200 kg packages
but those are all less than 4000 nm distance

To Tokyo there are 197 x 2000 kg packages and 198 x 200 kg packages
To Cairo there are 71 x 2000 kg packages and 182 x 200 kg packages.

For distances less 4000 nm those numbers seam reasonable, we could probably change the long range ration from 90/10 to 80/20 with out too many noticing.

For 40 kg packages I have tried to keep there distance short and away from the major airports so that the small aircraft have something to move without the big jets grabbing them all,

I'm down with that - GA operators pay the same premium membership as the big boys.
