Standardisation
First ATC, Navigation methods and now Maps.
I go by the saying "each to his own" because different people like different things, and they should not be stopped because it is not the "standard" way of doing things.

Re: Standardisation
That's my explanation, anyways... I'm really not involved in the map, except that I'd like to see someone make a really, really big one so I can do a nice 5-hour flight

Going with the flow is not always a bad thing.

Re: Standardisation
I think VA's should be able to fly on any map they want rather than just one, this is why I think the megadodo map is a good idea.
We could pick any maps we wanted, and have them all going on a server at the same time... The Hawaii VA's have their map, Kodiak another, Australia another etc...

Re: Standardisation
I mean, we dont all hve to fly 1 type of Hawaii, and trying to force me to confrom to PMNV is not going to help.
Navigation methods are of course completely different. FAVA goes VOR to VOR (more direct routes) while ATVA uses the VORs but follows set radials. You cant force one to stop its methods, as ther is a ood case for both and they work.

Re: Standardisation
Not when we're flying alone, no, but if you want to fly with other people (which is kind of the goal with VA stuff), due to YSF's limitations, you DO have to be on the same map as everyone else.Phoenix wrote:I mean, we dont all hve to fly 1 type of Hawaii, and trying to force me to confrom to PMNV is not going to help.

Re: Standardisation
and in real life you have 4 types of navigation
1. Direct
2. VOR to VOR
3. High Altitude Airways
4. Low Altitude Airways

Re: Standardisation
You also have the navigation called "from this village to that other, then follow that river, you'll see a big house and right next to it should be an airfield", but that's a whole another story....welshy wrote:no but it means our pilots choose and we won't stanardise

Re: Standardisation
I personally don't give a hoot what map people fly, most VA's have Hawaii as their hub and I think it's a personal choice about what version is flown... Either way they all go to the same places...

Re: Standardisation
Now that has been settled. I think we see that you can't standardise everything.
