Let me start with this - you'd better look at yourself really hard before making some of the statements you have. No where in my post did I ever say that I, or any of the other FlyNET staff, had already contacted you and chatted about what you were doing. I said that we would be contacting you.Ernie wrote:CaptFlyer, before you say "cheating on consumption" perhaps find the reason why. Like I said, the aircraft is from POSKY downloaded from avsim. I'm not European nor like the metric system. I use lbs. (last time I checked it was not breaking the law to dislike the metric system). I have not been contacted nor had a chat with you as stated in your post in reference to "less-than-honest practices". While that's your opinion, so be it I guess since there is a small little inner circle that is always concerned by what others do and like to make up their own rules as they go along. All I ask is the courtesy of letting me know the circle's intentions, please.
Second - You need to re-read the rules again. No where in there does it say you can't use real-world routes or build your VA based off of a real-world airline. It says that you can't use their name, logo, or paint scheme. You can use their routes, you can use the same number and types of airplanes, you can do anything else you want, just don't use their name, logo, or paint scheme as those items are protected under copyright and trademark laws, and we're not going to put FlyNET in a position where there is any chance of an airline taking legal action against us because we allow a VA on our system who has a real-world airline's name, logo, and/or paint scheme (notice the news on the front page about that issue before you go off about how we're not enforcing it).
As for the "inner circle" reference, there is a clearly defined staff for FlyNET, 3 DB Admins and 2 Programmers/Founders. We are the ones who run the network and ensure that things go as smoothly as possible. The DB Admins are Geoff (Safari Air), Justin (cmdrnmartin), and myself. The programmers are Konrad (Konny), and Claudio (DaKurt). If you see anything on here from anyone other than one of us 5, then it's not "official". Even at that, most things aren't official until they come off the keyboard of Konrad or Claudio.
Finally, if you think that using pounds or metric makes a difference to us either, then you didn't read the information posted here in the "Tips and Tricks" forum fully. You can load the airplane with Pounds or Kilograms, the client doesn't care. What you see on your flight summary is in kilograms, but that will change in the future and they will be available for display in kilograms or pounds, it's just in kilos since Konrad and Claudio are in Europe and that's what they're familiar with. The problem in your case is that 15,000KG of fuel consumption for a 14 hour flight is a bit fishy. I have the POSKY 747-400, and it burns fuel pretty accurately (and the client picks it up properly), so something is wrong with either your POSKY flight models (no one "tweaked" them did they?), something those accessory programs are doing is causing a problem, or you're flying with unlimited fuel. Those are the 3 ways that the fuel would be off.
Finally, I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish with using Invitt Pro. From what I can tell, this program is a screen-sharing program and nothing more. If your 5 people are flying separately, why do you need all of them to see each other's screens? If you want to share a cockpit, there are programs out there for doing that, but in that case, you should not have both pilots flying with the client on, only one of them per leg since it would be essentially double-dipping if you have 2 pilots flying in the same cockpit, which is not how FlyNET was intended to be used.
Widowmaker and his bunch of hooligans and Wolfs bunch are ex combat simmers who came to try something different - And Btw Widowmakers bunch have been scruntinised and their operation is legitimate. Then there are the likes of Quantum's CBFS , Joes Virtual PSA, Airboaters Pleasent Skies and Venture Hawaii - all are based on "real" airlines - In Quantums case about a dozen different British operators - Virtual PSA is legititmate as the company no longer exsists so using the name and colour scheme does not present legal ramification. Venture is based on both the original equipment and colour scheme and name of a very short lived British carrier - and like CBFS and PSAVA caters to a group who prefer to fly older aircraft types on realisitic routes that are not dependant on glass cockpits and GPS navigation - we are more into emulating real aircraft operations from the past -- It is very pleasing to watch 3rd and 4th generation Flynet VA's discovering the same thing (imitation being the sincerest former of flattery) At VHA we have been working on using shared cockpit systems like FSnet as a training tool and as Chris pointed out when we put it into practice only one of the players will be actually logged into Flynet - we are also experimenting with the use of FSE and the soon to be released RealworldATC to be used in conjunction with Flynet - I find your "explanation" that your company is doing so well that your employees have the time to play a little unrealistic but thats your business not mine - This is a hobby , I prefer to do my virtual flying and virtual airline business when Im NOT working at my real one - Your comments about what you have as far as flight time and ratings impresses me not - if your that damn good come work for a real airline - we will be more than happy to try your abilities in a MD80 simulator 
- VHA has several real world pilots - and I know of several more that use FSNet none of us openly brag about it -as in the real world they just go about their job , helping and advising those whose only knowledge of flying comes from a MSFS product and enjoying the challenge of flying aircraft that have long vanished from service into interesting and challenging destinations - as I have stated before on this forum, any fool can fly a 747-400 or 777 from San Francisco to Tokyo at x16 compression and then let the autoland system deposit them -
