Hello developer
if you have ran out of deas i have some i dont know if you have included the already or if you are thinking about them
1 if possible to do have an AI flights have one or more of the planes that a player owns turn them to AI hire pilots to fly them hand have
levels that they have cheaper they are or less experienced in other words worser they fly and less money and rep for the airline they bring
also as they work for you they could possibly bet more experience they get.
schejuale flight for AI that it is going complete on its own, i think that it will add on to the whole airline creation experience
2 have in the maintenence options a full overhole for the airplanes like changing the engines for instance that have became too old
and even uprade the airfleet having to replace old airplanes with new ones like having a life span for airplanes
3 if a player lets say had a flight from JFK to LAX have the player to fly the airplane back to the base or fly anywhere else but from last
arrived location.
4 make aiports fees for landin parking and everything elswe
5 have a player hire airport crews manegers
6 have time sheets for future flights that player can book in advance

thats it for now

Thank you for your time

Uh... German.. What you're looking for is called "Airline Tycoon" not FSX!

^^

[German]

No i think that having AI pilots working for you is going to bring more life to the vertual airline
and having things to pay for brings a little more challenge besides making a smooth landing
After all the idea of FSPassenges is to create a feeling of having your own airline.

But i can be wrong about it also

from my understanding that is what the income multiplier is suppose to simulate. We have been waiting a very long time for this to come out and i
don't think we care of any new features just that we can fly FSX with FSXP!!! Maybe after the new version comes out Dan will take suggestions and try
to make them work.

cannot wait for this to come out getting my new system for fsx and cannot play without fsxp, well hope everything is going good for you Dan.
Good luck.

Hi German, it really isn't to have the feeling of having your own airline but rather to FLY your own. Management is a very small part of this. It
is mainly the flying and events within (flying safely, not smashing into the runway on landing, happy in flight passengers, dealing with
emergencies) not setting up routes and assignments for pilots. Vertual Airline would be one of the orgenizations that you sign up with that
many use FSP for tracking and evaluating the flight, not what FSP itself is. Airline Tycoon really is more along the lines of what you seem
to be looking for as quastl666 said.

A good idea would be if you got into a collision to factor in the fatalities that took place on the other aircraft. Also, if you had lost some
hydraulics, make the aircraft have heavier controls (or in some cases uncontrollable). Also, if there was an explosive decompression, have some side
effects such as jammed controls or loss of hydraulics. Also make it so passengers can be sucked out of the plane and killed and it counting towards
your airline's safety record.

Yea i agree with you Jeff yod do have a point I guess i have not understood the real meaning of FSP

[flylondon]

I dont think we need to add any more things onto FsPassengers. Its already a great addon and its nearly in public beta - too late to add
things onto it. Maybe another version of FsPassengers would be developed soon with all these features if Dan carrys on with his
excellent skill.

[Mower]

Can we NOT bug Dan about other features right now?

Let the man get this product out ASAP then whine aboout this afterwards.

[Jambone]

I wouldn't call it whining, people are just trying to make suggestions. But I feel that by now Dan has stopped focusing on this thread and is devoting
all his free time to the project

I stopped focusing on this thread to devote all my time to the project...

It's currently in beta test, surprisingly code wich I thought would cause problems worked right out of the box
while things that I was 100% sure and is rock solid on XP cause trouble. I don't want to spoil but of course
Vista is in cause as usual....

I'm sorry about the lack of news but In test there is not much things to say, "had a bug with this, solved that.."...
For test we use a special site with forum made specially for testing. Testers can submit bugs or suggestion
and I can tag topic as "solved, todo, done" etc etc... very practical.

Best regards

Dan
