Propilot v2 - What would you like to see on it?

<< < (6/8) > >>

EHM-0975 Ragnar:
First I'd like to second Marianos' ideas about graphical interface (or at least a very improved interface) for finding stranded aircrafts.

Planning tools to plan several hops, and change aircrafts along the way (without needing to lock all the flights). Would save at least me a spreadsheet.

Visibility of the status of awards - ("You are missing 2 countries for silver european award, press here to plan flights to them now"). Would save me another spreadsheet.

I'm totally against putting any hard constraints on the flying such as forcing to return to hubs etc. For me at least I'd stop using PP if that came into place, since I fly casually, when I have the time and I like bouncing around, changing aircrafts as often as possible and not visiting hubs too often. What keeps me coming back to EHM is the lack of constraints of when and whereto you fly. Set it as an option when planning the flights instead. (Maybe return aircraft automagically to the hub after 2-3 months or so, if the aircraft model is missing at that hub).

Failures should also be optional in my opinion. Mainly because if they are really realistic thay will be too rare for anyone ever really noticing. If set so everyone will have failures now and again it can get extremely annoying. Personally I would probably not use failures - I usually manage to screw things up all by myself. (Maybe have the realistic as a forced standard setting and the more often as an optional.) If implementing, have some sort of notification on failure - I might assume that something was wrong with FS or my computer and restart the flight.

Change the way the altimeter penalty is 'awarded', I've had it hit me when flying in low pressure conditions and watching the altimeter closely trying hard to get it right. Tolerances really needs to be changed on that one. Also tolerances on the lights as has been suggested.

Hi mates,

Very nice! I am really happy to see so many suggestions! ;D

The new ProPilot system will started to be built on January/2009, along with a mega-project that we will have, so keep giving your ideas.

I would also like to "hear" what do you think about having some extra features, like a real airline operation regarding to ticket prices, pilot's salaries, etc ... do you think it's worth to have that on the new system ?

Sounds cool ;) but what would they do?

EHM-0948 Bruno:
haha! :)

Well ... I don't know :o .. More real airline simulation ?? :o:o

(Where are my tutorials Ben? :) .. Don't tell me you can't write them in Europe!) LOL ... No need to answer here, ok ? ;D

EHM-1704 Leon:
If we can earn V-money, we would need something to spend it on, no?

Perhaps pilots could save up for one of the VFA aircraft for personal use...I've always wanted to loop the seneca :)

Alternatively, pilots could choose to lend their v-money to poorer pilots. Other pilots could then invest in the returns from these loans with their own v-money. Then, when the poorer pilots fail to repay their loan, we can have our own virtual credit crunch!

...would make it more like real life...lol   :o
