(/showthread.php?tid=4307) |
Hello, and a few questions. - Danielmd11 - 12-06-2013 I downloaded FSPassengers for FSX, what must be 4 years ago now, but shortly afterwards, I lost interest in flying sims. I'd occasionally re-visit and do a long-haul across the Atlantic (without FSP) but due to family commitments, just didn't really have the time to do anything more. Now though, I've re-discovered my love for flying, so I found my old external hard drive, with FSP on it, and have been flying around for about a fortnight now. I've restarted and deleted my company a few times though. First, I started at Executive airport in Orlando, Florida with 2 million and bought a Cessna Caravan and 172. Then after a few flights, I felt like I was cheating myself with starting with so much money. So I deleted that company and then started another with 500,000 at Leeds Bradford airport (my hometown). This time though, I hadn't set the career mode, so once I had enough money, could buy and fly anything, and again felt like I was cheating myself. So finally I've started my 3rd and final company called 'AIR' back at Executive, with only 500,000 and career progression on. Florida is such a nice place to fly, which is why I've decided to set my base there. Lovely scenery, flat terrain, mostly calm weather but with the occasional thunderstorm and downpour to add excitement. I started with a Mooney Bravo and a Cessna 172. So far I've done a trip to Cuba and back in the 172 and a trip to Atlanta, where I did 10 hours towards my PPL. After downloading the Carenado Cessna 210M, I've just added one of them to my fleet too. It's a very impressive model and I highly recommend it, so much so, that I'm now thinking of adding their Cessna 182 to my fleet. I thought flying small, single engine planes, was a bit of a hindrance at first but I'm really enjoying it now and appreciate the charms of flying such small aircraft long distances. Could someone please explain how the pilot bonus points work for flight duration though? A couple of times I've received a 300 point bonus for doing a flight longer than 2 hours but other times I don't get it. Re: Hello, and a few questions. - Joeflyer - 13-06-2013 There is a block to block time and in flight time...which are you trying to refer to? If in flight duration was was 1 hr 58 mins, and block to block time was 2 hrs 15 mins, you will get the points based on in flight time.

Re: Hello, and a few questions. - Werewolf13 - 24-06-2013 Pilot bonus points - I'm pretty sure - based primarily on the quality of the flight. Happy passengers, landed on time, good service, good landing and take off's etc etc. Flight duration figures into the equation but I don't see how. I've gotten 300+ points for 20 minute flights. |
