Flight too short?? Request for future update!!

[Matthew Brown]

Hi everyone,

I work for a virtual airline, Flybe Virtual @ http://www.virtualflybe.co.uk
But here's the problem, as in real life we operate the worlds shortest commercial flight from Westray to Papa Westray (some islands in Scotland)
The flight time is just 2 minutes long but whenever I have completed the flight the passengers say it was a bad flight because it was too short.

Well it wasn't exactly a mystery flight they all know its the worlds shortest flight, they did buy the ticket!
Ok so I get a lot of pilot points and no penalties, however I do get reputation REMOVED which is awful a whole 0.91% nearly 1%!!!!!
So if I'm to do that flight all day there won't be a company left if you understand?

So that's why I would like to request in a future update that this option gets removed or something or an exception on this route in particular.
Otherwise I cant really fly it.

Many thanks in advance and I'm a long supporter of fspassengers (FS2004 version)

As it stands at the moment, the shortests a "commercial" flight can be using FSP or FSPX is just over 10 minutes in the air; I'd suggest trying one of
the other flight types available to see if you get better results for now.

As for updates, we haven't seen Dan, the developer around for a few months and the thread about the beta test update for FSP has disappeared from the
Forums, so I wouldn't hold your breath on it coming soon.

You could just do your regular flight destination but just don't go directly there. Perhaps you could circle the airport or the IAF or even a
nearby VOR for 10 minutes before landing. I know that it's cheating but at least it would be a real flight.

Yeah take them on a sightseeing trip along the Scottish Isles! Maybe I could take off from inverness then land at westray and then ontopapa westray.
(Just pretend I pickup passengers from Westray). Not sure if you can land and take off again before finally reaching the final destination.
Not sure how FSPassengers would adapt to that.

FSP doesn't like intermediate landings - it will recognise it as "wrong destination" most likely.
