Yep, interesting. With an overall bonus point if it was a wise decisions... (*"Pax are not happy about destination-200" "*Divert was a good decision given the bad weather, safety first +600")
But a wise decision might be a bit difficult to detect.
One should not land 1000km away from destination or on an airport where the weather is worse than the original and it may be very difficult to detect the weather over far airports.
Mhhhh.... (thinking out loud) ... yes with a dialog to enter the new destination... Mhhhhh... and I can do the detection at this time...
I note this on my "TODO" list but I'll probably release a first functional v4 in hurry with almost no changes, then start to add stuff for an update. (1 month)

Speaking about Idea :
------------------------
There is a looong time that I think about allowing to purchase stuff to customize the interior of your aircraft.
more comfortable seats, multimedia electronic, phone by sat, cabin decoration etc. etc.
You'll loose some money but it can give you a "pax waiting at gate" and "pax happiness/company satisfaction" boost...
You can then raise ticket price to payback/gain more money or choose to boost company's satisfaction.
The main problem is the interface to purchase stuffs, it should be clear, simple and appealing but as I plan to redesign a bit the dialogues it might be time to do it.
What you think about this idea ?
Hello Daniel,
Just to simulate the real Life, is too dificult because each airplane have its own cross wind limit depending of Rwy conditions,
- and some Airports also have their own limits too, but we can make it simple
- Idea: Just add a value (in edit payload) models for max crosswind, for example.
ISSUE 1 - Maximum Gust Velocity……………………………. 20 kts. (for all Airplanes)
ISSUE 2 - Max Crosswind
TABLE - In reality there are these ClassType of Airplanes limits for crosswinds:
Good 35 knots | DRY (sample: A380) | Rwy: high risk of hydroplaning (All)
Good / Medium 30 knots | DRY (sample: B737 or A320) | Rwy: covered with standing water, with risk of hydroplaning (All)
Medium 25 knots | ----- | Rwy with: slush (All)
Medium 20 knots | ----- | Rwy with: dry snow (All)
Poor 15 knots | DRY (sample: C172) | Rwy with: wet (All)
ISSUE 3 - Base clouds below Airport MDA (for VFR flights only to make it simple)
Above any of those conditions, we can't land and we have to divert.
Let me know what you think.
