Below is an email that I sent to Tell_FS@MS with what I consider a great idea for our beloved sim. If you would take the time to read it and post a reply to this thread your thoughts or a simple ya or na it would be greatly thanked. Additionally if you really like the idea let the MS FS team know by sending them an email stating your likes of this idea in your own words. Hopefully some authors and those who attend the sim convention can keep it in mind and relay it to those who can make it happen. The best thing about this idea is that it will allow UT to become interactive in a new way creating a very real commerical environment. With UT being based on real airlines, airports serviced by those airlines, and flight times we would then be able to enjoy Flight Sim in a new light.Thank you for your time.NP"MS FS Team,In thinking of ways to add or improve the next version of FS I think one idea that be great would be the ability to build or have the sim offer an Airline Manager feature. This would use some features that you already offer with some that would need to be invented. Basically you have your own fictitious airlines (Orbits, Soar etc) and the ability to assign airline and parking codes to AI and parking spots. Additionally each flight plan for the AI offers equipment, departure, arrival, FL and times of each flight. Having these already available only two small additions would be needed for a new Flight Sim experience. Those two items would be to add an airline flight engine (something Ultimate traffic already has) and Flight Dispatch options with Freq.

Hmmm .... Hmmmm .... HMMMMMMM! What?Sorry, but I can't imagine that there is even a remote possibility that this feature would be added. SIDs and STARs, that's something a lot of user's would love. AIRAC cycles, okay.I really don't want to offend you! It's just that this does not sound practical to me. Sorry ;)VOlker :]
