I've just spent the last half hour reading through various reports here. I can't wait to be able to do this myself.

Once thing I did notice was the penalties given to the company when the pilot does something wrong, such as roll off the end of the
runway on takeoff or landing. I noticed the penalties given to the company were about $500, but this seems tiny compared to the fact that
the company can make millions each flight. I've looked through quite a few reports, and I've seen most fines for $200, $300, and the
highest I saw was $990.

If I make $100,000 on a flight, then I won't really care about a $500 penalty.

Maybe I have it wrong, maybe there are other penatlies that I have not seen, but If I do something wrong then I really want to be penalised
for it, to make sure I don't do it again.

For a small fee, I'll be glad to stand behind you and whack you in the head when you make a mistake!



Clut, I can't wait for you all to get your hands on this program! You're gonna LOVE it!!

There seems to be a high proportion of crashing amongst the beta testers.

Think I would take my parachute if any of them are flying!

Seriously this is all looking rather excellent and I sincerely hope on return from holiday (8th July) I will be logging on the site and finding
FsP has "pushed back" and ready for take off.

8 july ?

97% sure...

end of June 88%

but who know ? I spent my last two day on an uggly and late bug....
seem to be solved now.

Hello

Your usual income would more be in the $25'000 range, this said don't be affraid,
you WILL care about wrong stuff, you not only get fined but you loose also reputation
and pilot point... less reputation=less passengers =less income etc.. etc...
(Also fine are also subject to the income multiplier.... an uggly and short flight can cost
you 1 million $)

I must take care not to make FsP TO hard otherwise they will be no fun anymore...
so those fine ensure that you don't loose all your income for one mistake, but believe
me you can't make error at all flight and expect to run a good company and have a good pilot.

Hope it help ?
