[closed] FsPassengers for FSX official note and please !

[jeffreycor]

This is what time compression is for, to compensate between the difference is real life and simulation. :P

UPDATE:

As fsx provide thumbnail in aircraft folder why not use them ?



Need some more work (I want to add a frame around the image) but almost 100% done.

Notice the fact that I can now integrate jpg image in richedit display open some nice possiblities
like having a "company" banner in all reports/display, ie: you can optionnaly provide a jpg banner
that will be embedded in all company and flight log report. Would work the same than logo jpg,
just put a jpg with same name than you company.

Not decided yet anyway. Do you find this idea cool ? would you use them ?
would most user see this possibilities and use it ?

I love the aircraft images! Not too sure how much would use company logo on other pages/reports as I couldn't really get any pictures to
look decent at the needed size, so just leave it as no logo for them all.

[xandan]

i think it would be a good idea, especially for those people who want to make their game look as real as possible lol but if you don't feel like you
can bothered with it, dont use it lol but the option will still be there for those that will e.g. me =D lol

[DanSteph]

I think it would not be too hard to add. (in fact will be pretty easy)

But where exactly would you want such banner ? I think to put it to flight report only.
So you would have for example a 600x100 banner at top of each flight report.

What about adding a variable seat layout based upon how you have your airline set up, i.e. you are running a discount, normal, or luxury
carrier and incorporating that into the aircraft images? I'm not sure how much work this would add in term of art and programming but it
would certainly increase immersion.

Also, I just have to say that every update you make gets me more excited about flying with FSP in FSX keep up the good work!

Hi,

concerning the "start from last location" option. It depends on if you can calculate the distance between crash site and airport...

Most realistic would be of course next good location (airport is capable of aircraft type) + a service / transport charge (based in distance)
from crash site. Alternative, take-off or target location (+ charge) whatever is nearer (if you crash on apporach it would not be nice to get
charged for a transport back to take-off) .
However, to be on the safe side, to start back at take-off location is also nice...

BTW, I would love to provide predefined flights. Did you ever thought about providing a list of interessting flights to pick from (e.g
http://www.simtours.net), Or, in the 'no warp' case, to provide complete tours? I think the community could come up with great content...

Regards,
Heiko

Hi there, Dan!

How about an extra difficulty for better realism:

"NO PAUSE" option?

Would that be too hard to implement?

I'm sure it would bring an extra level of pressure while landing!

i dont think the "no "pause" would be necessary due to the fact that if you dont want to pause it, dont pause it lol u have to be able to pause it at
some point because something is bound to happen (e.g. eating or quickly go down to the shops) and then your gna say to yourself "oh no i wish i could
pause it" lol

but thats just my opinion =)

[Atlantic Airways]

i agree with Xandan!

[DanSteph]

For "no warp" in case of crash I think I'll give the choice to restart from:

1-Location where you bought your aicraft (main base?)
2-Last 4 good >end flight< location
3-Start of current flight

Without any fee, when you'll start the next flight you'll be prompted to move the aircraft at one of this 5 locations.
Still need some brainstorming and test... must be simple and straight anyway (KISS)

---

About "no pause" sorry no, one important phone and your flight is ruined... not that good.

UPDATE:

Banner done... if your company's name is "Swiss tour" for example just drop a 625x100 jpg named "Swiss Tour.jpg"
in "FsPassengers/banner" directory and all your report will have such banner. You can put any size with limit to 628x200 max (jpg will be
resized to fit those limit)

Banner feature looks very nice, i like it.
I agree on the "no pause" option. Just to much that can ruin the flight.

[dds92]

will fsp x have hijack? and if you have an emergency, will the atc follow your problems or will it still being like a perfect flight?

[JayKae]

No, FsP will never have a hijack function, it is in bad taste and would show poor morals and values on our part.
