euhm, nothing to discuss or argue about but maybe something for Dan to fix:

Hostess Advice:
While we started at 13pm just after dinner time we estimate that the passengers ate just before the flight and will be hungry in
about 2 hours.

in my English book at school we learned both, British English and American English, now I speak German English

But seriously: I've really never heard about calling lunch dinner before So sorry about calling it wrong

Is it possible to modify the weights of the default passengers in any way? Because it's a little irritating to fly a Cessna with 2 passengers, both
women, both 90kg and this every time ^^

I didn't look at the lists yet as I don't want to download additional Programs bevor I know if it's even possible.

Or is the weights defined in the .db-files?

I think it's also a point to think about in future updates

It depends on where you are in America. In the Midwest and other primarily agrarian regions, dinner is the midday meal as it was the
largest meal eaten by the farmer.

Other places, the evening meal is called dinner except on Sundays, when the midday meal is called dinner.

Technically speaking, in American English at least, dinner is the word used to refer to the largest meal of the day (except breakfast)
whether it's taken around noon or at the end of the day.

None of you are stupid, especially if you aren't from the states. It's cool that you even know there's a difference.

I don't remember Lunch Being Dinner. I thought they were two different things?

I believe the weight is supposed to include luggage as well. I agree, running + sizers all over the place would get old in a hurry.

breakfast is always breakfast. Supper is always the last meal of the day. Dinner describes either noon or 5:00 meal depending on how
much is eaten. Not that confusing is it?

[Charles King]

I am from Texas and I have always called the mid-day meal lunch and the evening meal supper.

So no lunch?
Here we call the meal around noon 'lunch' (even in dutch)
Is supper something typical British or is it called in US also like that?
