FS Freight

[Gray_Lensman]

Dan, I think you should consider a companion to FS Passengers, ie. FS Freight, that is primarily devoted to Freight/Cargo. You could
have a dynamic model that generates freight/cargo at various user specified terminals, maybe even having different classes of priority.
Also, these same user specified cities might have a demand factor built into them for that same cargo/freight... Just a suggestion for
your next outstanding programming venture.

There is such a program (called FS Cargo), but I bought it a few months ago and just don't use it anymore. I would much prefer someone of Dan's
obvious talents producing an equivalent to this as part of the next version of FS Passengers. Dan seems to have a knack for creating addons that reel
you in and keep you playing them - I am sure this would be true if he attempted this kind of idea. For those who played the game "Elite" on BBC Micros
in the 80's, imagine that kind of trading system on top of FS Passengers! Add in some preset missions and scenarios and I personally would be in FS
heaven.

Exactly the point of my post... And since he is now programming for a living so to speak... I would be the first in line to buy his version of
FS Cargo... How many others here on the Forum would like to see Dan direct his next venture this way?

On a related question, does the cargo in FS Passengers add to income in any way at all?

Yes, but its just a fixed rate for generic "cargo". Check your end-of-flight reports and see.

It would be cool, either like Frontier with planes or better yet 'King of the Road' with planes instead of trucks.
