Airline scheduling mode - Quantas - 09-05-2005
I'm sorry but I may be a little bit confused about if you are in the career mode and whether or not you can schedule your own routes or if
the program gives you your own routes? I personally would like to be kept surprised with new routes, but could you elaborate a little if you
already haven't?
Thanks!

I think this aspect was what I was trying to get at in my similar thread, whether you can design your own schedules or timetables for your
airline - where between and at what times you fly - or whether essentially as now in MSFS, you just pick a start time and go.
One other feature (maybe not in this version!) is continuation flights. MSFS does not do stopovers very well as you have to file a
completely new flightplan from the gate which can be a bit erratic - sometimes I have to lift off my MD11 under VFR then file on the fly.
However real airlines have flights which use the same number but stop off a couple of times en route, or will arrive at the destination then
turn round after 45 mins and come back.
e.g. I believe many AA Atlantic flights will land at Heathrow, but then continue to Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam etc with the same flight no.
If FsP can't do this either not a problem, just a limitation of MSFS I guess and maybe that's how it works in the real world. The "public"
perception is of a through flight, but operationally the airline has to file for each new take off.

Usually for fight planning I'll search the web for timetables, pick random page numbers and choose a route that looks fun to fly. Then I'll plug in
the data into MSFS flight planner and perform the flight. The next time I fly, I'll start the flight at the last airport I landed at, look at the
timetable again and see which routes leave from that airport and pick another flight.

Air Nevada Pacific do at least one flight like that, Flight 145 goes from PHNL to PHNY then on to PHMK in the Hawaiian islands.
