Could you tell me please if it's possible to share FSPassengers data between our pilots? It's not just to Export the fullfield flight. It's more to know if all pilots can see and choose the planes in their own FSP, which the VA bought.
It should be more or less as FSAirlines.
Many thanks in Advance and have a great afternoon.
Ok so i talked about how fspassenger 250 knots limit below 10,000 feet and stated that it is not always the case and in fact getting clearance to go above 250 knots below 10,000 feet is not done that way,..
i installed the Concorde airplane and guess what when i took off i hear the co-pilot say " Captain did you hear that, i believe we just had a tail strike LMAO
NO NO NO NO NO NO There is no tail strike with the Concorde, the Concorde has a tire a wheel on the back of the tail just for that because the Concorde lands and takes off at a high angle off attack it is designed that way because in order to land or take off and gain lift it needs to point the nose way up.. so this is BS another in un-realistic thing in fspassenger...
it's called a tail bumber it has that because they know that the tail would strike at take off or landings but put that there..
I'm playing around with the maximum range I can do with Concorde because even at maximum range it lands with a lot of reserve fuel so I tried a flight of 4451nm and to give myself the best chance I started with 95.5 tonnes of fuel instead of the usual 93.5 tonnes. The flight report gave me a -300 penalty for dangerously exceeding the MTOW during take off so is there a way I can disable that? It's not listed in the more_option file and I've found a few old posts asking the same question and they were advised there isn't a way to disable the penalty but they are a few years old.
I'm not sure if I can take fewer passengers to remain under the MTOW because I have the weight disabled and am using a config file designed for the aircraft but am not sure how it works. A friend gave it to me and when I start a flight I move the sliders to load the passengers, crew and cargo but this doesn't change any weight value. I know how dangerous exceeding the MTOW is in the real world so FSPassengers is simulating this but it would be handy if I could disable it so I can experiment with longer flights and not get the -300 penalty if I take off with the tanks full to the brim.
Also, is there a penalty for landing with insufficiant fuel or if there is a low fuel warning?
As it is right now FsPassenger only does one way flights, for example, KBOS to KJFK, if fspassengers wants to keep up with their trend, and be as
real as possible they should have it so you can Take off from one airport and go to 2 or 3 before the final stop.
In the real word they are connecting flights, For example, KBOS to KLAX, Then From KLAX to KHNL.
So from boston to LA, then to Hawaii..
of course when a plane such as a 737 takes off from boston to la, they re-fuel, then take off to Hawaii.
Fspassenger doesn't support that.. if you try to re-fuel it deny's you..
Saying that you should manage your fuel, well i'm a retired Airline Pilot, for TWA and i can tell you that many flights they are stops and one reason they do it is to refuel, even with flights with in the US, and the reason, is to enable the aircraft to carry more luggage (Cargo) and to do that they need to reduce the fuel but lets say they need to only be able to carry 30% but can't make the trip to the final airport, so what do they do? They make a a stop to re-fuel, yes they do that..
Any way they should add that on fspassenger for that reason and also to make things interesting and more realistic, because not all flights one non-stop flights., IN THE REAL WORLD!!!!
also another thing is when a pilot declares an emergency, they no longer have any 250 knots under 10,000 feet restriction..
most rules are off when there is a major emergency.. Because some times pilots must break them rules to get to safety,
Maybe they need to keep the plane above 250 knots under 10k when going in for an emergency landing..
so that is another thing that should get change.
oh and for the record, no co-pilots gets on the horn and requests to go over 250 knots below 10k, they don't do it that way, they request it in the flight plan submissions.. That is when your given permission..
Not making a phone call.. LOL
Don't know who told the writes of this program that they get on the horn to request this but it's BS they don't do it that way, it's all
done in the flight plan..
if a co-pilot said to me Captain i'l get on the horn and ask if we can go above 250 knots, i would say WTF? what are you talking about , you been smoking crack? Get on the horn with who? my mother? WTF!!!
trust me people there is no such procedure for traveling above 250 knots below 10,000 feet, doesn't exist...
Been a pilot for over 24 years, not once did any one get on the horn regarding flight actions..
by the way also they are some exempt people who can travel any speed they wish with out any permission, such as Airforce One,
The United states airforce or navy, in fact in air shows they do the speed of sound at 500 feet..
And airliners are also able to do this as well specific flights, such as government aircraft FBI, CIA, Local Law enforcement, Even the US mail
and the rule goes
"EDIT: The 250-knot limit is not an absolute limit. The regulation says, “Unless operationally necessary, an aircraft shall not exceed 250 knots below 10,000 " They are some aircraft that needs to go above 250 knots in departures..
and also the space shuttle when it comes in for a landing at entry it is traveling at the speed of sound and 4000 feet is traveling at 600 knots , then The orbiter's main landing gear touches down on the runway at 214 to 226 miles per hour, followed by the nose gear. The drag chute is deployed, and the orbiter coasts to a stop.. 250 knots does not apply to this aircraft, to say the least..
and NO you don't get a fine if your traveling above 250 knots below 10,000 feet, in fact there is no one there to see that you did that, except maybe the Air Traffic Control, and they are not going to go oh look he is at 300 knots at 7000 feet, i'm going to report him, No, this does not happen, they have more important things to do then to be the side police for the FAA.
Give me a brake, in my time of flying for TWA i have done 260 to 270 way below 10k many times not once did any one say anything to me at all, i didn't get a call from the tower saying TWA 109 please slow down, LOL
any way these are just some of the thing i wanted to mention and give the writes of this program some ideas to change...
As many others I got my FSP Code Blocked. So I tried emailing dan as it's said in fspassengers - no response.
Thereafter I tried using the contact formular on the homepage - no response.
Again I tried messaging Dan via the forum personal messages - no response.
And I tried Dan emailing via the forum function - no response.
First Email was on Tuesday, 25th of September.
I am awaiting your response, emails with the details are sent. Just want to say that there is a difference between my actual mailing address and the one I used to buy the code. Please use only my actual address.
