how about you have computer pilots flying for you too?it would be great like you hire a pilot and he fly one on your planes????
Re: dan read - jboweruk - 20-05-2005
This has been discussed. Dan is currently working on an idea that will at least partly simulate this.

In fact its only a "Fleet bonus" for howning more airplane than only the one you fly.
again FsP is NOT an airline tycoon, it's centered on your flight and your piloting skill.

Dan you out done yourself again, thats a great idea if it ever gets implemented.
Re: dan read - DanSteph - 21-05-2005
it's done...
"Fleet income" if you perform well you get some additional income based on the number of aircraft your company own
if you do bad, FsP say that "there was no flight today" and you get $0...
Again only your piloting skill will count for your company performance...
Those presumed flight are gosht flight and doesn't appear in any report nor does they increase aircraft hours
count or degrade your aircraft...
But it would have been to bad to have bought 15 aircraft and only get income from yours...
that would not have been rewarding for your efforts.

no i mean you can hire a pilot to do some flights
Re: dan read - Cuda - 22-05-2005
Dan has said all along that this is not an airline tycoon type game. The main focus is to simulate all aspects of an airline PILOT. Seeing as pilots
do not get to hire other pilots, this feture should not be in the game.

And do you not want the ability to purchast aircraft then? The pilot's don't get to do that either.
It would be nice to have the option, but it's probably not workable within the current framework of FS. So we have the multiplier bonus
instead. Remember this is an add-on simulating a lot of things, from working for an airline to starting up your own as a pilot with but one
small aircraft.

Be that as it may, bear in mind that there _are_ those among us (myself not included) who actually do most if not all of their flying solo, online or
off. It would seem that this vast market could be better tapped if there were such a module (perhaps available later on) that would allow them to hire
AI pilots to round out their experience. I can't believe this is a difficult task to code up, but probably should wait for version 2.0.
A Career in commercial aviation is not accomplished by being a one person anything. Isn't it natural to assume a program like this might provide the
needed interactivity with other people who constitute an airline, be they real or AI people?
Re: dan read - jboweruk - 22-05-2005
Yo Deacon your preaching to the converted. Read my post and you can see I was the one who said it would be a nice feature to have. At
the moment I don't think it can be done within the framework of fs9, maybe we'll have to see what 10 brings, since a lot of ppl have been
begging for a career mode as such.
Re: dan read - Shandon - 22-05-2005
I think we need to leave some ideas for the next version...This is going to be an addon to a game..not a game in it self,Fs9 is a game for
us to be pilots and to fly...Not have an ai pilot doing it for us...otherwise it just becomes another administration simulator...( which would
be great but does not represent what flightsims are about)...IMHO only.

I 100% agree, I don't see the point to load Fs9 to let AI pilot fly... I agree it may be cool but as a separate "airline tycoon"
FsP is 200% devoted to your flight only... even all the stuff around as buying aircraft
and getting financial result is directly linked to your flight abilities...

I thought that you could be a pilot for an airline or create and manage an airline

I don't see why everybody seems to be saying either airline tycoon or career, what's wrong with having ai pilots to fly some of the planes
in your fleet, but still doing some flights yourself. Most times in the real world the owners don't fly is because they aren't pilots, they're
businessmen(women), but some do, Nikki Lauda for example flew some flights as a pilot himself, but he still had pilots flying for him.
Re: dan read - georak - 23-05-2005
I think time is the issue here, although many people wanting this feature (ai pilot feature) including me, still we say it is not as important to
wait another couple of weeks/months for redesigning a considerable part of the software, to make it even possible.
In the other hand, I just had exactly the same thought concerning Niki Lauda as the FLYING manager.
Dan has done a simplified solution for this problem to give a impression that you are not alone in the company. You can read about it
under another topic called ’How do you earn money’.
Best wishes...
