I need to edit the database

[Jetflyer]

Hi Dan, or anyone else who knows how, I'd like to edit the database to get rid of failures I've decided, because I'm flying for Delta Virtual Airlines
and just had an engine failrue and crashed, these things are happening too often, Dan, can I send you my database and is there something you can do to get rid of the failures for me? Also I used to thin falures were fun etc.. and novelty but that's worn off now there just boring, I want to fly to get somewhere and for fun, without diruptions and nonsense. 97.6% of real airline pilots will never encounter a failure anyway in their career, I've already had about 25, so please can you disable them.

Pretty exact. But really that isn't the point. For all the failrues I've coped with so far it's enough to last about 500 real life pilot's careers, if
you consider the number of failures in the flight hours. But drew you understand that when flying for a virtual airline, you can't have things like
this happeneing relly, and ive hd more than my fair share of failures, plus other people have had their database modded for stuff too, and I can't
open the database.dll files, so can Dan do this?

change to zero = no more failures

[Drew]

by the way, not sure if anyone will be willing to wipe off your crash from your database.

Besides, aren't you taking this too seriously?

T'is only a game..

Why not simply start a new company with all failures off?

Quite honestly, I'd rather see Dan working on other "things" (besides playing with his kids or spending quality time with his wife) than
"fixing" peeps databases

[Jetflyer]

Yeah, I know its a generally disproved thing to "cheat" the databaase, but really, if you saw how many failures I've had! It's also mainly because of
having the virtual airline as well. I have a set company with 1500 hours but once its set, no failure change can be made, unfortunatly, being why the
database change is required. Not meaning to sound impatient, but shouldn't take much time for the option of failures to be edited would it?

Hello,

this depends on a lot of things. Like what aircraft the company fly, how old the fleet is, how good the service on the aircrafts etc. Its not possible
to say for sure how much percent failure a airline pilot will have in hes/hers career.

To use a teaspoon, its like comparing two companies, one have a fleet of brand new airbus machines, the other one has kinda old almost outfased
aircrafts. So the percentage of failure will be larger there .. :D

If you are intererested in airline safety, this could be a nice place to go: (dont kill me if link has been posted earlier) http://www.airlinesafety.com/

and what goes for editing the database, some VA's use FP to rate their pilot, and editing and removing crash so your stats looks cool would be .. ehh
..ehrm .. like cheating ..

I don't want to remove the crash just turn off failures for the future. I think I've already proved that I can deal with the majority of them already! After the failures II've had, turning failures off now is hardly cheating, don't forget there's the option to not have them in the first place. I did have them first cause of the novelty, now its worn off about 8 months later.

That setting is overidden by company settings so it won't make any difference.

this is the perfect solution ;
1 :do regulary the maintance of your aircraft
2: don't buy old junk from god who know's where

this is how I do it , it will cost you more but you can keep your safety record at 100%

What about birdstrike ?? they just fly into your engine

[Jetflyer]

Yeah this was a birdstrike, and all my planes are 100% maintained all the time. I have £1,300,000,000 so money isn't an issue.
