Still some work left, but we all have to start somewhere. A repaint of the Captain Sim 757 payware might help, since many folks got it as a holiday gift.

Perhaps we are being a bit picky here. There are at least 2 Virgin Atlantic VA's out there. Granted, they are part of conglomerations, but nobody said that you had to fly any of the other affiliated carrier's flights. Both conglomerates represent the entire Virgin family of carriers. The FTG version requires using their somewhat buggy in-house ACARS; the Sim Airline version does not require the use of a client program.

website url?

What? no 717?!?!?

ADMIN ALERT!!!There are little to no rules for what constitutes a VA. To pass judgement on another's VA on the realism grounds does not necessarily pass muster. To truly be realistic, a VA would have to maintain a viable schedule and be able to show profitability. Most VA's can't do this sufficiently, even the ones using VAFS or VA Financials. The fact is, many sports teams use full-sized single-aisle aircraft for their charters. It is not just the players who travel, but the coaches, trainers, support staff and VIPs. You perhaps need to do s little fact-checking. Even the presidential campaigns are using 757's.So, Mr. Entrepeneur you'll have to come up with a reasoning behind your assertion, rather than a blanket statement. Support your statements with citiable facts, and use the APA format in your citations. Anything less would not be sholarly, and undeserving of a place on this board. Put yer money where yer mouth is, or shut the #### up.

How about a url to your site?

Looks attractive, but how about a link or url?

Unless I miss my guess, you are referring to the FTG Air France, which seems to be having some issues lately. Flying Tigers Group does have 20 full VA's that one can fly any flight for, and over 60 code-share partners. I would suggest being patient, and addressing your issues via the FTG message board. There's a good bunch of people associated with this VA, and you'll likely get the kind of feedback and help needed if you go this way.

Alas, this seems to be the fate of many VA's these days. The otherwise great, and (until recently) vibrant Midwest VA evaporated too.

The url gets an error message:Error: splitDateObject did not receive a date object.Best wishes for the VA.

VAadmin looks like it is going extinct, with no forum board posts in a year, and VAFS just announced that it will be going payware as of April 1st. There is thus a HUGE void about to become manifest on the VA scene, and I fear that many otherwise nice VA concepts may never see operation without a decent freeware ACARS system that will work with Vista and FSX as well as XP and FS9.

My VA has a Hawaiian division with an identity of its own, and a lot of customization and expandability left over for someone taking it over. There might be some Website help too, although I have the painting covered.

What would be the advantages of this VA over the representation of ATN by the Flying Tigers Group?

It's hard to believe that there's no additional paints for the Q400. I'd love to see Porter, Horizon, Austrian, QANTAS, South African, Lufthansa, JAL Commuter and ANA; the real-world liveries. Any answers?

This VA intrigues me, and I plan to check it out after the year turns. One noticeably missing item from the fleet is the A319CJ, which is available with the Wilco payware package. Another omission is the fun-to-fly pocket rocket from CLS known as the VLJ. Having grown up around VNY, this could be something to get really passionate about, with Santa having bestowed the Wilco Legacy 600 on me.
