  1. Lotus and Badge ( Lotus? cool !! ) awesome sugestions. i'd love to see them myself as i'd like to be able to offer players that maybe cant afford fsxpax or related programs these same top of the line abilities.. Sadly, airplanes, i can program, programs, i cant write.. Will keep an eye open.. Warchild
  2. it is a workaround, but it'll work for now.. :DPam
  3. ::huckles:: i just may do that ::LOL; Theres a wonderful Wiki page with practically every airport in the world on it arrange alphabetically by ICAO.As for shcedules... Oi.. I'm probably going to over complicate it like I always do so bear with me.. I'm a dispatch company. So joe shmoe walks into the office and he's got a shipment of 10 tons of fertilizer he needs to get from podunk illinois, to eukia california. both of the airports are postage stamp airports. i create a job order, which in turn generates a flight and flight number that goes on the hot board to be bid on. the flight gets flown, the pirep gets filed, and if the pilot made it on time he gets the hours, if he is overtime, he gets docked. then the flight is checked off, put into the records and is removed from the board.. Thats pretty much exactly what i would like to accomplish. my partner has some excel scripts that randomly generate cargo loads and airports. I'd use those as the basis for the job orders and to generate the departure and arrival icao's for the flight. Once the flight is done and logged, i need to remove it from the schedule as it's a one shot deal. otherwise, all i've got is the same old boring VA thing going on. Theres no game. nothing to gain lose or be challenged by.. Thanks again Nabeel..Pam
  4. Ok, so i created my test csv import file using airports i want to be able to fly from and too ( mostly australian outback postage stamps) but when i try to import it, i get this error.ICAO YFLS not added... retriving information:Could not retrieve information about YFLS, try again, skipping for now...ICAO YDPO not added... retriving information:Could not retrieve information about YDPO, try again, skipping for now...ICAO YNAA not added... retriving information:Could not retrieve information about YNAA, try again, skipping for now...ICAO YCCL not added... retriving information:Could not retrieve information about YCCL, try again, skipping for now...The import process is complete!Is there any way around this??? or is there a way that i can import all the airports from fsx?? i'd like to not be stuck using just larger airports.. Thanks pam
  5. ::chuckles:; Thanks Nabeel. your awesome.. I need to figure out cvs and converting lat and lon coordinates to fsx numeric first ( tonight) so i can start entering flights, but then i'll get started on creating a skeleton i'm curious. Since my va will only have a few scheduled flights, how hard would it be for me to create a database of airports that could be chosen for one time flights ( like out of one postage stamp rural airfield to another postage stamp rural airport) instead of setting up scheduled flights??
  6. ::chuckles:: quite easily you say.. ::chuckles:: The sad admittion is that even my hello world programs have all failed.. how sorry is that eh?? But at least now i know that it is possible
  7. A wish list is great.. I thank you for that, because the little concern i'm setting up needs something that can go beyond the boundaries of your normal VA (and hopefully the game will catch on ).. Orient Overseas Express Freight Lines, isnt a VA. I'm not sure what you would call it. The premise is that, in the real world, cargo gets left behind on the docks all the time, but it still needs to get where it's supposed to go in a certain amount of time. Thats where a company like mine comes in. We pick up these left overs and abandoned loads and make our business off of moving them.. Our pilots will all be sub contractors, so, what this means is that when OOE procures a shipment, it becomes a job that can be bid on by the pilots. The pilot that can do the job the fastest gets the bid, irregardless of time accrued. Payment for the jobs are in hours, A standard job gets standard hours, a suicidal job (like hauling nitro into china at night during a typhoon) gets you a much higher bonus if you live. This scenario presents a whole range of needs that a typical VA doesnt run into.. Pilots have to be able to competitively bid against each other for the top paying jobs. Once the bid has closed, the job needs to transfer to the pilot that won the bid, just like the flight schedule does now. hours need to be adjustable by the management. The downside of flying the above scenario is that if you dont get the job completed on time, an hour is deducted from your total time for any segment of any additional hour overtime that you take to complete the flight.. So i need to be able to change that easily.. Any chance theres a possibility for a module that will allow for competitive bidding and adjustment of hours??
