[latest new] Virtual Arline FsPassengers Online

[DanSteph]

Hello,

I finished the export flight feature and you will now be able to see the beta tester flight or my flight
on this page: http://www.fspassengers.com/?action=va

For now there is only my flight, the beta tester don't have this new feature yet but check the page
often to see how they fly

If you want to have more info about the export flight log feature read here:

Very nice summary page. One question: how open ended will this text be? There's a few things on it that I might want to re-phrase how they're said
(no offence to your English!) Is there a .inf or a .txt that I could open and edit the report's text?

[DanSteph]

Text are still in work yet... a big washing will be made before release...
(it's hard now to fix text because I don't stop to change&add things)

The voice text and voice are fully open, you have a utility that allow you to modify
all voice text (and you can record new voice pack)

The text as the one showed in the report are fixed in the code so any change will
need a new release...

Perhaps you can say what you find wrong with report text so we can fix it ?

Dan

Hi Dan,

Have watched you develop the best addons for Orbiter since its initial release! I was there when you first released OrbiterSound, and
changed the future of Orbiter forever. I feel strongly that you will be doing the same thing here, the face of MSFS is about to change, and I
couldnt pick better guy to do it. I wish you all the best success with FSP, you deserve it! Anyway, enough inflating your head

Thought I could help a bit and provide you with some "translations" for the hardcoded reports stuff:

I have provided alternative text for the lines below. Any that are not mentioned are fine, in my opinion.

Original text is in italics, possible alternatives are in bold:

Where joyfull because of the movie.
Were pleased with the in-flight movie. or Enjoyed the in-flight movie.

Were in a better mood because they had food.
Were satisfied with the in-flight meal. or Were pleased to have food available during the flight.

Were pleased by the music on ground. Nice add.
Enjoyed the music while boarding. Good call!. or Were pleased to have music while on the ground.

Where irritated by the G excess
Were concerned with the excess G forces during the flight.

Using reverse thrust under 60kts is prohibited and dangerous, it can damage engine.
Using reverse thrust under 60kts is prohibited and dangerous, as it can damage the engines.

Where terrified by your "dive of the death".
Were terrified by your "dive bombing" antics. or Were terrified by your steep dive.

You had a serious failure aboard and you forgot to call a mayday.
There was a serious failure and you did not declare an emergency.

You have exceeded the flap speed limit by 31.98kts
You have exceeded the flaps extension speed limit by 31.98kts.

All aircraft are prohibited to exceed 250Kts below 10000 ft AMSL; your speed was 77 Kts above this
limit Our company received a fine of $857 <---just so you know, its not 10k above sea level, just 10k by altitude
All aircraft are prohibited to exceed 250Kts below 10000 ft. Your speed was 77 Kts above this
limit. Our company received a fine of $857

Were really happy to land safely after having an emergency.
Were relieved and happy to land safely after an emergency.

You made a kiss landing. <----not sure what you mean by this

Are dissatisfied because they arrived too late
Were dissatisfied because they arrived at their destination late.

Were angry because you've made what seemed like a dangerous landing
Were angry because you made what seemed like a dangerous landing.

Forgetting to set the cabin seatbelt sign to ON during landing or takeoff is a fault
Not setting the cabin seatbelt sign to ON during landing or takeoff is dangerous and does not show
proper piloting skills

Forgetting to set the proper flaps during take-off is an extremely dangerous fault and does not
show proper piloting skills
Forgetting to set the proper flaps during take-off is extremely dangerous and does not show proper
piloting skills

Parking brake should only be used when that aircraft has stopped, you used it at speed of 103 kt
your aircraft was damaged.
Parking brake should only be used when that aircraft has stopped. You used it at speed of 103kts
and as a result, your aircraft was damaged.

Now, keep in mind I only offered suggestions for alternatives based on grammar and readability, and to remain consistent with other
reporting text. I noticed some report text is missing the " - " at the beginning, you may want to proofread that.

Not sure if I got them all, if you have more that you are concerned about, you can email me and I will help.

Just a little note for you, Dan, regarding where, were and we're, if thats okay.

Where is used for asking about a place "Where do you think you are going?"
Were is a pronoun in the past tense. For example "What were you thinking of?"
We're is a contraction of we are. for example "We're all waiting with anticipation for the release of FSP!"

or for example: "Where we were last week, we're going there again"

Hope that helps.

The only things that could inflate my head would be two gallon of beer actually ...
Thanks for kind words James, somes encouragment are always welcome...

Thanks for your text, I'll submit them to "Mr Textman" so he can pick the best...

About "where Were" tips, I'm affraid my english level isn't increasing at all since years,
so somes lesson can't harm at all.

Dan i know i am new and i havnt really learnt anythign yet but i was just wondering, in the game do you have a feature where if you were
to hit the ground with your wing, it could fall off, or is that really difficult? Because they would be really be cool, but please coudl you reply
because i am quite intreseted to find out!

With the release of FS2002 Microsoft took the desicion to disable the crash graphics (due to 9/11 etc.), even though they are hard coded
into the simulator and are similar to those in CFS2. All the default aircraft can have the crash graphics by renabling the configuration files
(although not all the classic FS2004 aircraft have correctly modelled crash parts). You will be able to find a program on Flightsim.com or
avsim which will automatically re-enable the crash graphics (and even enhance the effects if you are that way inclined). Off the top of my
head I cannot remember the code to add to the config files to get it to work manually but if you search you will be able to find it. The effects
are quite spectacular and all parts of wings and tail can fall off as well as the engines catch fire e.t.c.

Hopefully Fsp will be able to report damages such as wing damage in the after flight report...

A kiss landing is very gentle ie <250fpm

Could I suggest:

You made an exceptionally gentle touchdown, the passengers barely felt it.

[m01485]

No i mean i hated what happend at 9/11.
But why did they stop crashing in the flight simualtor games, i dont think anyone is that sick to recreate that in a game!
