Hello I am starting a virtual,airline. National virtual airlines, based out of Las Vegas. The airline that I want to simulate is out of business, so I don't know if I would need permission. from anyone or not. The airline is National airlines, they were called red rock on ATC, and the base hub is Las Vegas. They only flew the 757. I have always wanted to start a National virtual. I have a lot of experience with virtual airlines, I have flown with a few over the years. Base hub is Las Vegas. I don't want to require any checkrides or anything, however I want to have reward systems. Since this airline only operated one type of airplane, it makes better sense this way. I want the airline to be open to all levels of experience, from people who want to fly any route, to people who want to fly with an FMC, or on vatsim only. I want rank to be based on hours, but I want the hour rank to be spread out, so it takes time to make rank. I personally love the 757, and this airline will also be for 757 fans. I own quality wings 757 and they have a National repaint, but besides that it is nearly impossible to find a FS9 or FSX 757 with national airlines. I would need someone who is good at repainting sim aircraft. It is not logical to require everyone to purchase QW 757, so we need access to some freeware posky national paint jobs, (for example). I like php vms, and vafs financials, I am not sure which one is good. Are there any other virtual airline manage systems? I want active forums, with military type ranks based on post count. I want a teamspeak eventually too. I want an extensive award system, and a way to incorporate the website to automatically issue reward ribbons, for things like soft landings, 100 hours, vatsim event hours, etc. I want to set up hubs, las vegas being the main hub, and other hubs with hub managers. I want to have a realistic flight system where the pilot has to depart from his last arrived airport, and hopefully have a way so the pilot sees his home hub airport in his flights most of the time. Any input would be appreciated. I have a CEO mindset, I am creative, and I have an image of what I want. I usually work during the daytime, I am online every night, I have the time for this hobby.
I need a lot of help in putting together a website. I know nothing about phpvms but I'm willing to learn. Simpilotgroup is way too expensive. Thanks!!
