Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1617 Iain on July 15, 2005, 08:48:02 pm: Well I think this is a cool new feature.

Just a couple of questions:

What is the function of the Number of Flights box?
Does it
1)specify the number of flights that will be given in each period you have set e.g. daily, weekly etc. or
2)the number of flights that will be assigned in total?

ie. 1) you put "2" and "daily" and you will be assigned 2 flights daily for ever?
or 2) you put "2" and "daily" and you will be assigned 2 flights on consecutive days and then no more?

Also how does it know what checkboxes to put in in the chosen ranks section? If it is by rank then it is not working for me?

Because I am now class 5 ;D and I only have checkboxes up to class 4.

I'm Class 4 and only get checkboxes for 1-3 so it's uniform.

Post by: EHM-1617 Iain on July 16, 2005, 08:51:09 am: Thank you all - is the rank system correct that you cannot be assigned flights for your current rank?
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1539 Pierre on July 16, 2005, 05:48:17 pm: Now that you say it... I just realized I'm rank 3, and have the same problem too...
Bruno will probably correct that soon :)

Post by: EHM-1500 Jim on July 17, 2005, 12:19:18 am: Great idea guys...looking forward to using it when i find some spare time to do a flight....it's been a while!!
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1539 Pierre on July 17, 2005, 12:36:06 am: It looks like the problems are corrected.
To be confirmed.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1617 Iain on July 17, 2005, 08:09:48 am: Nope, I still only have class 4 and I am definately class 5.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1539 Pierre on July 17, 2005, 09:10:46 am: Okay.

EDIT : Yesterday when i said i thought it was corrected, i had the choice in the panel between 5 classes (I'm class 3).
I checked class 3, and 1 minute ago i received an assignment of class 3 flights.

So, it seems it's working.

Post by: EHM-1570 Bruce on July 17, 2005, 12:30:28 pm: Today Sunday I have just been assigned Flight 6009 LPAZ to EGLL, however if I look at the Flight Logger, this flight is allocated to days 2-5, is this a bug in the AFAS or can the flight now be flown on any day if it is allocated by AFAS?.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1617 Iain on July 17, 2005, 03:10:21 pm: Just set the date is FS to be correct, dont worry about the real date.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1539 Pierre on July 17, 2005, 04:50:04 pm: Yeah, dates and times are just cosmetic. It would be too much of a problem if pilots had to respect it.

Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on July 18, 2005, 10:06:05 am: Hi,

Sorry, but just had time now to come and check forum messages. I was all the weekend away from home.

So, I am going to check the rank problem as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on July 18, 2005, 11:15:10 am: Hi,

I made some tests, and it is working the rank zone.

Please tell me if you still have problems about it ..

Thanks,
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1627 Chris on July 18, 2005, 07:28:38 pm: yah i can only select class 1, 2, 3.

but i'm class 4???

don't know if everyone elses is sorted??
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on July 18, 2005, 10:08:20 pm: errr .. i am sorry Blyth but on the database you are rank 3.

You have 32 hours flown, so, you are rank 3. You need 8 hours to pass to Commercial Captain.

Hope you are not doing class 4 flights ;) ... hehehehe ...
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1365 Benjamin on July 18, 2005, 10:13:08 pm: Bruno,

CC is class 5 ;)

Chris is FC and ok to fly class 4.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1617 Iain on July 19, 2005, 07:53:25 am: Class1 - up to 4 hours - FO
Class2 - 4 - 10 hours - TC
Class3 - 10 - 20 hours - STC - Maabaa
Class4 - 20 - 40 hours - FC C_Blyth
Class5 - 40 - 75 hours - CC - Me
Class6 - 75 -125 hours - SCC
Class7 - 125 hours+ - ATP

So Chris should definately be Class4 and have 4 checkboxes.

I am still only getting 4 checkboxes but I am Class5.

And Maabaa said he was geting 5 checkboxes which seems totally out of line with the others (but still wrong) ;)

Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on July 19, 2005, 09:29:57 am: ops, you'right I made a mistake on the database when writing the "ranks" table.

Will correct it then, sorry.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on July 19, 2005, 03:10:16 pm: It is corrected now.

Please try it.

Post by: EHM-1507 Manuel on July 19, 2005, 05:35:04 pm: Ok, suffered the same problem than most of you, but now it works correctly!

Thanks!

Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1627 Chris on July 20, 2005, 07:51:48 pm: yeah mine is fixed now....thanks Bruno
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1619 Pedro on August 03, 2005, 07:37:38 pm: Even though I think it's an excellent idea, there's one thing i think this new feature lacks, is the ability to select if we want the flights to be originated at our hubs. In real aviation, correct me if i'm wrong, flights usually originate from the airline hub and then comes back with the same crew. It is not usual for a pilot to fly as a passenger to the location of the airplane to fly it back home.

What i would like to see is an option so that the flight could originate at the pilot's hub and in the same e-mail sent to the pilot the return trip would also be available.

Eg:
I select one daily flight, and my hub is LPPT:

In one e-mail I would have:

LPPT- XXXX on one day

and

XXXX-LPPT on the next day.

Something of this kind would be great to get the flights more personalized for the pilot, because to me it's rare to get a flight which goes or comes out from my hub. Maybe it just me!

Thanks, Pedro Grancha

Post by: EHM-1619 Pedro on August 03, 2005, 11:04:50 pm: Thank you Bruno for your rapid reply. I am glad that at Euroharmony we have a competent team which is willing to improve the VA for all of us. I shall be waiting for the implementation in the AFAS system and I hope it's benefit for everyone.

Thanks to all, Pedro Grancha

Post by: EHM-1366 Themis on August 14, 2005, 09:28:04 am: Agree, that would be nice :)
Euroharmony must sit atop of all VAs by now, there's some great job done by the team and gets even better and better!

Glad to be with you guys! Keep up!

Post by: EHM-1343 Jonathan on August 16, 2005, 08:49:06 pm: Yes, and if you are impressed, wait for our next trick!;)

Is there a way i can have more flights selected on a weekend, i like to fly 1 flight on weekdays, and two or three on saturday and sunday respectively
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-0962 Zhen Yi on August 20, 2005, 03:31:28 am: Hi guys, just one questions here. will the flights assigned be continuous? as in if the first flight is LSZH-WSSS, will the next one be WSSS-somewhere?
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on August 21, 2005, 08:42:40 pm: Hi Lim,

No, the flights are not continuous. They are chosen completely randomly using the options that you select on the pilot AFAS menu screen.

Regards,
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1592 Niels on August 22, 2005, 10:10:55 am: Am I the only one who's still waiting for his first assignment? I mean I think it's configured wright,but I never reciefed a mail or so, and yes "Active" is set to "Yes"

regards,
Niels
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on August 22, 2005, 11:52:37 am: Hi,

Very strange, Niels ..

I look at your configuration and you have it configured from 2 weeks interval. Can you please change it to a different one, just to see if it worked ?

Thanks.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1592 Niels on August 22, 2005, 12:57:10 pm: Don it
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1592 Niels on August 23, 2005, 12:17:33 pm: YEAH, it's working!!!:>
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1627 Chris on August 24, 2005, 04:43:12 pm: If the AFAS sends a flight...do you HAVE to fly it...or can you ignore it, like if your really busy?
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1358 Tim on August 24, 2005, 05:28:21 pm: You can ignore them.
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-1627 Chris on August 24, 2005, 06:00:18 pm: ah rite...thanks...i thought that you may have to do them...and that could be a problem for me...so therefore didn't set it up...but in that case...i think i'll use the AFAS and see what it's all about!!
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on August 24, 2005, 09:45:51 pm: Yes,

As Razza said, all the AFAS flights are optional. You don't get any type of penalization for not doing it.

Maybe we didn't explained it well, but that's the way that this system works...

Post by: EHM-1425 Jeffrey on August 30, 2005, 03:39:26 am: Hi everyone.
I hope to be back up flying with Euroharmony again soon. I was one of those pilots that "dropped" off after only a few flights.
It was mainly for personal reasons, but also just that I wanted more flights into the US.
Now I see the new systems look great and I'd like to start over again with EHM.

The idea of the AFAS systems is wonderful! I will definitely use this feature!

I agree with Pedro, it would be especially great to be able to pick a starting location (say your hub) and have xx number of flights continous (next flight leaves from the last place you landed) until you get back to your hub or wherever... just and idea...not sure how difficult this is to implement.

anyway, I hope to be back flying here again soon!

Jeff

Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on August 30, 2005, 10:07:03 am: Hi Jeff,

Welcome back!
You Hub Captain is already noticed of you and he will contact you.

About the AFAS feature that you and Pedro told, we will develop it as soon as possible.
We will start by implementing a go-and-come-back route and after that we will implement the circular routes (more complex to develop).

Regards and safe flights!

Post by: EHM-1539 Pierre on August 30, 2005, 10:09:33 am: Done, see, service is fast ;)

(somehow i couldnt connect to this site for over a year but i'm glad i can now!)

Edit : oops sorry found it :$

Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on September 28, 2005, 09:31:21 pm: Today we detected a problem on the AFAS system.

Regards,

would it be possible to implement an option that allows linked flights to be randomly chosen based on the destination of your previous destination? it appears to me that it would tie in well with the propilot system with one person flying the same plane in a couple of linked flights :)

would be great if this can be realised ;D
Title: AFAS: Discussion Space
Post by: EHM-0948 Bruno on October 01, 2005, 02:09:33 pm: Hi Lim,

The AFAS system is not yet connected with the ProPilot system.
That will surely be a great idea, but for now we don't have it connected.
So, if you want to use AFAS, it will be used for offline flights online.

About the continuos flights, I will point that note on my very-extensive queue list :)

Thank you Lim.

Regards,
