So why should FsP do that ? -How would look a flight report with two or more legs ? 5 time pax opinion, cruise, climb descent stat, fuel used, landing airport, landing speed, penalties etc etc ? Would be a total mess to read and require twice programming time for a bad result. (unreadable or incomplete flight log) UPDATE: "player "real flight time" almost finished. Will be disabled by default in "general option" as I think it spoil the "immersive" fun and only some "die hard time acceleration fan" have the use of this. There is three parameters in options: "never show (default)" "Show only in pilot info dialog", "show in pilot info and flight report" Dan

Dan,
Question? I have looked and this kinda bugs me but in hiring more pilots for your company (even if it's only for eye candy) could you put in that you can only make money off of planes that FLY and the only way you can fly a plane is to have pilots? So I was wondering if you could make a small change in how your company planes (not the one you're flying but the others in your company) register a flight? My suggestion is that they have to have a company pilot that you have to hire for each plane in your fleet . Those pilots fly the company planes and only those planes make money for your company. ie 10 planes + 5 pilots = random # of planes (not greater than 5 planes make money for your company) 10 planes + 10 pilots = random # of planes (not greater than 10 planes make money for your company) and / or 10 planes + 15 pilots = random # of planes (not greater than 10 planes make money for your company) so to sum up you need pilots to make planes fly and only those planes can make money. in real life the planes sitting on the ground cost a company money.

Quote:AST41 Sorry had just a fast reading... PRO: logical, nice idea. CON: dev time, maybe more complicated for "newcomer" so maybe an optional company parameter ? No promise but noted in my "too look" list. UPDATE ABOUT MISSING CODE IN ICAO DB: I looked for ICAO database today, even grabbing here and there on the net still I had only 10'000 entry in the DB. (this is why you had sometime missing country and airport name in report in FsP) So the idea was: why not grab them directly from FsX ? So far so good started to write an utility to decompile the BGL this morning, Just finished yet and tested: 24490 entry, well, that's better ![]() Grabber is all automatic and create a whole new list in 12 seconds that comply 100% with FsX data. Utility took me 9 hours to write from scratch. I just tested for the first time 5mn ago, now I'll check if ALL entry are in the DB, if yes I'll continue with next job. If not I'll modify the utility a bit. (seem all airport are only in "APX*.bgl" file but maybe some are elsewhere ?) EDIT: FsX have exactly 24510 airports, I changed the utiity and now I have 24498 airport. It miss me 12 airport. Well, I'll consider it's ok ![]() Best Dan Post Edited ( 03-27-08 15:20 )

Tested in FsPX, work flawlessly.
Cool side effect: Now "set destination" can warn if destination wasn't found and all reports will have correct informations even with airports with 3 letters ICAO or rare airport.. (appart 12 on 24510, if you found one of them I'll offer a free copy of FsPX ![]() Dan Post Edited ( 03-27-08 17:18 )

UPDATE:
Starting new features "utilities" in menu ![]() Each of them will display first a help text with explaination, for backup it will ask you for a location on your hd then copy all database files at this location into a new folder for example: "FsPassengersXDbBackup_2008_05_12" So with the date of save it will be easy to manage restore/delete old copy etc etc. Dan

Alpha Stage is the early stages of the final steps to finishing.
You have got to remember that Beta could take up to 4-5 weeks until the Beta Testers are happy with the program, and know there arn't any major bugs still left in it. After that Dan has to do all the payment options and get all the website up and running for the new FSP X, if he has already done so which may take up to 1 week or so. It all depends on how well the Beta testing go's. But I have to admit, so far all looks good. Must admit FSP has to be one of the best add-ons to get, I don't think anyone would not want to feel as if they where actually flying passengers around the world in FS9/FSX. :D Matt ![]() |
