Passengers complain about flight being too short?

[Helmut]

I really like FS Passengers, but there's one problem in particular that's bugging me right now:

I created an "Island Airlines" in FSP (the one in default FS adventures where you island hop in Ohio), and did a flight from KPCW to 3W2 -
total flight time was about ten minutes. It was stormy; the passengers were terrified of the weather conditions but I was able to land the
aircraft safely at about -200 ft/min. If I had been doing a longer flight, the end-flight report probably would've listed passenger satisfaction
at or near 100%. However, it was at 68% - it said that the passengers were dissapointed that the flight was too short. Considering they
were terrified about flying in those conditions, why would they be upset about a short flight?

I repeated the same route in clear weather but got the same end-flight report of 68% due to it being too short of a flight again.

I know that the player can disable pilot penalties, but what about penalties to the satisfaction caused by what the passengers think of
the flight? I can understand if the satisfaction goes down from a super long flight, but it shouldn't drop to 68% just because the flight was
too short for them. If there's any way to solve this please let me know...

Thanks in advance,

Helmut

Basicly there is a limit to the minimum length of minutes that you can fly. FSP was designed so that if the flight is under 10 minutes, you
will receive a penalty. Check this out http://www.fspassengers.com/forum/showth...p?tid=6070

Thanks for the info - I guess one solution would just be to fly in circles until the flight lasts over 10 minutes!

Even so, the deal with the passengers wanting a flight in terrible weather to last longer is a small bug. I wonder if they would say this
if you flew inverted with excess G's and did a crash landing in under 10 minutes, they would still complain about the flight being too short?

Passengers will always complain if flight is too short, under any circumstances (good/bad weather, failures and so on). You should select another
starting airport (farther than the arrival)..

It's easy to make the flight last longer than 10 minutes, and I don't really mind circling around the landing strip for 5 more minutes.

Even so, I'm having a hard time understanding why that kind of penalty would be in FSP in the first place. Since FSP was designed with
larger, commercial airlines in mind to be simulated, I doubt that any flight in that category of airlines would ever last under ten minutes,
unless a super-serious problem occured and the pilot had to immediately land (in which case the passengers would be pretty upset
anyway). I'm sorry, but I just don't see the reason behind that penalty which drops passenger satisfaction to 68% (seems to be a little too
low).

I can work around that penalty without a fuss, but I'd like to know why it's there anyway.
