- Add a "grounded" flag for each pilot. When a pilot crashes he is automatically grounded until the CEO or someone from the VA's managerial staff removed the restriction from the pilot. This will protect VAs from happy crashers, either by lack of slills or by intention (...)
- Insurances. A CEO should have the option to insure an aircraft and if he chooses to do so, an amount, depended on the aircraft's size will be subtracted from each flight's profit.
I second those quoted above.

I think they all sounds great
BUT....
With the insurance i think you should have to pay monthly not on a flight you do!

What I would like in the client is more information on the screen when you select fly booked flight, maybe something like this.
Code: Select all
Flight : PS8110
From : KSFO
To : PHNL
Distance : 2085nm
AC Type : Lockheed L-1011-1
Aircraft : N10112
Passengers : [___251] 0-251 (zero to what flynet calculated)
Cargo : [__5431] 0-5431 (zero to what flynet calculated)
Fuel : [_35000] 5431-76512 (what was left over from the last flight to aircraft max).
Do not change fuel [_] (if checked fuel is calculated based on what is already on aircraft).
Estimated Revenue
Ticket Income: 251 x 239v$ = 59989v$
Fuel cost : 1.25v$ x 1.234 x 29569kg = -45610v$
Crew catering: = -1255v$
Cargo income : 0.11/100 * 2085nm * 5431kg= 12456v$
Pilot Salary : 10% = -2558v$
---------------------------------------------------
Total = 23022v$

I don't think that's all useful information. Firstly, why would we want the pilots worrying about how much the flight is going to make? If they see that no matter what they're going to loose money, what's to keep them from canceling the flight instead of flying it? The other parts would be okay, but then again, most of that information is on the Briefing document that is generated when you book the flight and can re-generate if you book it and then fly it a while later. Maybe we should add in the Fuel on board in the Briefing Document instead?
Also, the "do not change fuel" is kinda redundant. You still have got go to the fuel page and it already automatically puts in whatever number exists on the aircraft into that box so all you have to do is click "okay" to get that fuel in the plane for no charge, so why have to okay it twice when you need to go to the second page anyway under the new fueling scheme that Konny is working on?

I have also voted for the "resume flights after system crash" and have had to cancel and re-book flights.
Other The booked aren't 24 Hours should be reduced to take off within 3 hours

In real life yes and it would be no problem for a real airline which flies day by day, or at least on a constant basis. If this was implemented on a monthly basis in FlyNET it would force people to keep flying in order not to loose money and we want FlyNET to be a mean for relaxation and fun instead of an additional obligation in our lives. Isn't it so?

I think that's a fair comment Nikos. We're not trying to be the 'cut and thrust.. dagger in the back' real world airline world.. more a representation of it
I think the latest 'co pilot' response to lights up (or down) too early/late is a bit of a waste of time too.. ok for the hard of hearing I suppose but for the rest, the end result is the same.

Hi
Althought I voted for refuel stops, I think that it would be interesting to take into account the alternative airports, if for some reason I can´t land in my destination and I have to go to an alternative, what happens?
thanks for this fantastic program!

i think the ability to make an emergency landing, if failures kick in would be a great feature, but i remember it has already been metioned somewhere here on the forums

Me too on one side so I guess the visual warning stops the 'did I just hear a bong' problem

For the PMDG 744/744F to work with FlyNet, would really be nice, because untill then I cant really fly on here because all I own is a 744F.

The PMDG problem is I think a priority. I am at present sitting on enough cash to buy two 747's but wont part with my money unless I can use the PMDG.
I cant imagine this being to difficult to implement. Please, Please.......LOL.
If you are going to implement a strobes rating....remember that on most paywares the strobes are automatic and turn on when the gear isnt compressed ie - airbourne. When you touch down they turn off as the suspension compresses.
This is a great program and I like the idea of the voting on changes that will possibly be implemented. I hope to be here for some time to come, and look forward to seeing the changes when they happen.
