Impulse Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Hello People! Some of you may remeber my last, failed VA, using free hosting. That, has gone to god and much like the mystical phoenix, a new VA rises from the Ashes, Impulse Virtual, We are a startup VA based in Germany, currently, we have 5 pilots, but we are hoping to expand. Unlike last time, our VA is being hosted by a friend, on his privete hosting computer. Our VA Currently is not concentrating on the fancy stuff of Skins, repaints and pilot manuals, we are concentrating on good, honest flying. We hope to see you there soon, The Impulse Virtual Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartVM Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 IMHO, a good VA is made up of everything, a good website, pilot manuals, repaints, fancy flying, etc. If you want to compete, I think you could use some work, but keep working!

BaRBeR Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm speechless. I think you need to invest in a theme, as you're currently using the default phpvms theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impulse Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm speechless. I think you need to invest in a theme, as you're currently using the default phpvms theme. Some of us have other things to do, then sit in front of a screen Last time, I used the vAirline skin, which was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmundk Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Well honestly, unless you want a failed virtual airline you really do have to have a custom skin that is visually appealing. If you don't have time then either pay someone to do it or just don't open a virtual airline at all because owning a virtual airline means countless hours in front of a screen.

freshJet Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Some of us have other things to do, then sit in front of a screen Why the hell are you running a VA then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 That is why I have somebody helping, Also, some people are interested in flying and Airline mangement, and not all airlines can be like yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshJet Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 So they should invest in a skin then? It doesn't even need to be custom, as long as it's not the default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaRBeR Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 And the dude helping clearly isn't very good as we can see from your current site. Also, if he is helping then for god sake wait until he is finished with the site before announcing your opening then you may actually attract pilots and avoid a backlash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherming Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Not to be mean or anything, but ask yourself this. If you yourself can't invest a bit of effort in getting a custom skin, or at least coding it, how do you expect your future pilots to invest in their free time too? There are plenty of VAs out there for pilots who are interested in flying. You gotta have a custom skin, or minimum an edited freeware skin that are widely available here on the forums, to make your VA unique from others. And for god sake, you gotta at least change the phpvms logo to your Impulse logo I wish your VA best of luck 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiesTheLimit Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Reiterating what Sher said, in order to run a successful and fun virtual airline you must dedicate time and effort! If you want pilots to dedicate their time flying for you, you must dedicate your time building a great virtual aviation environment for them. Going to leave with a quote: You will never be satisfied with anything less than the highest you can attain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
