The Future of Civilian Flight in YSF
The civilian section of YSF has moved forward in the past year with the re-birth of Virtual Airlines and a general movement towards starting a civilian 'squad'. While this has been great, there are several things that I'd like to see happen to help the civilian portion of YSF get larger.
I'd like to simplify the way VA's can get started in YSF especially on YSFHQ, this will help promote the start up of Virtual Airlines (much the same as the combat squads).
I am planning on running the 42South Server as a civilian server, hopefully this will promote non-combat flying.
A centralised flight logging system on YSFHQ.
More events that can incorporate different/more aspects of civilian flight (VA 'relay race', etc...)
I'm posting this here because I would like everyone who would like a say to get their opinion out in the open.

Re: The Future of Civilian Flight in YSF
The centralised logging system is being developed at the moment. Chances are we wont even need to fill out a form, but simply fly and virtual money will be collected through certain parameters (minimum flight time etc...).
I plan on working with VA owners on a set of VA standards.
Check back here often for updates.

It was mostly just for fun, but every VA had pilots flying trying to become the most active VA. Both in hours flown and money gained.
Here is some information about the system on YSP2:

Just scroll down to the Airline heading.

It's the part of YS that doesn't shoot guns... And flies airliners....bernholm wrote:What are civilian airlines? What's all this Civilian stuff?
A VA (Virtual Airline) are the civilian squads essentially, currently FAVA is the biggest. Over the years we've had many different VAs.
Like most of YSFHQ, the civilian section becomes fairly quiet over summer (the proper summer, our summer).
With continual site updates we should be able to streamline the flight logging systems with HQ rather than rely on other sites.

Re: The Future of Civilian Flight in YSF
On days where it is busy, I have had the joy of landing with ATC and then receiving service from ground vehicles or even a bus!TheJuli wrote:What i want to happen with ysflight, is that, there would be a server and civil planes will fly with a timetable and there was ATC and GTC. Just like real life or like some people do in FSX! That would be AWESOME
The only thing I have trouble envisioning is the timetables, since my 9pm is not necessarily everyone elses 9pm, and in some cases, I only meet certain people when I stay up late - like really really late.
I'm glad to hear that you have the same vision as I do, Juli. And there are others, like Admiralrol, Barlock, Flake and Lomi1 who really contribute to a realistic, interesting online experience.

Re: The Future of Civilian Flight in YSF
Unlike a real airline, where its your job and you must be there, this is a game and people cant always make the deadlines that allow a timetable.
I know some VAs are trying it but really i think this goes a bit far as you demand that members can either fly now, or not at all.
However ATC services are something that can be enjoyable, but I am afraid they only work if absolutely everyone on the server wants this. I have seen ATCs ruined by a guy who disliked it.
The YS community can simply not sustain such activity. If you look at just the airshows (which are one guy at a time), they keep having changes until the last minute! The changes you would have to make to a timetable would be impossible!
Just my two cents thrown in
