So I've found myself beating on the old version of FSPassengersX, and I'm told that the new version doesn't have too much new to offer.
But I wanted to press these points to see if anything has changed in these aspects or if anything is going to be added along these lines.
Everyone that is a pilot commercially knows that whether you fly a C208, or a 777 there's alot more to it than just loading passengers and
taking off safely. We regularly have ground stops for EDCT, flow control, and weather. Diverting due to moving storms, taking additional
routes, ground stops at an alternate, and waiting for a gate aren't abnormal for aviation. Storms pose a real risk to the aircraft and it's
passengers. Losing a time spot due to pushing late or arriving late isn't uncommon and dispatch holding you back from departing is almost
common. Once in a blue moon we have a medical diversion, a stop up in a hold for in flight maintenance, and delays for maintenance. We
don't just terminate in the city we're at, 95% of our flights are turns, those take time. Bird strikes are alot more common than you think. Most
airlines have a domicile where they operate from yet FSP doesn't restrict us to any specific place. There's no common denominator between
what airport I fly out of and the amount of passengers board the aircraft - I can fly from O'Haire with 42 pax to a podunk airport, and turn back
around from the podunk airport with 43 where normally there would be 20 something. Baggage totals aren't anything consistent either. I can
max load an aircraft with cargo for the max amount of money when in reality I'd be asking for ballast because there's such few amounts of
cargo and luggage. I mean a monkey can take off and land with a 100% on a clear day lol.
That's just my two cents though lol
