Hello,
This may be outside of the design criteria of FSC (or am I blind?), but I can't find any option to do sightseeing/acrobatic/tour for-hire flights. Doe this exist or is there any ways to mimic such flights? My FSC airline is based in the Hawaiian Islands where this kind of pilot job is not scarce. 
Fly safe! Calvin

Hi Calvin, There is a way to do such using the "contracts" feature of FSCaptain. This allows a lot of the normal ATC rules to be suspended, and IIRC it even allows for flights to end at the same airport that they start. On the downside, I don't recall if the normal PAX Loading / Unloading process would work with a contract, nor if your Flight Attendants would provide Cabin Service on a contract.
Essentially you would chose an airport where you would want a contract to be offered. There's a lot of work involved in setting one up, and I'll have to go through old posts and text files to be able to assist. I'm currently trying to get a build ready for Peter to test with FSX - my new PC is still undergoing growing pains and everything I build needs to be triple-checked to ensure all things work as they should. But I can work on this in my 'off hours' in the next few days.  Give me a list of airports you would like to use for sightseeing flights - we can start with just one airport - and perhaps draw a list of "sights to see" on a map of that island. You would take off from your airport and then loiter around each of the "sights" at a low enough altitude to make it worthwhile for your tour. Best, |

Thank you, Travis. I will throw some brain cells at this and get back to you; however, the idea of not having the added flight attendants function, etc. would leave the experience somewhat anemic.
Fly safe!

Hi Calvin, The "contracts / missions" elements were the germ which grew into Dutch's FSCAI... his Flight Simulator Combat AI. So flight attendants were not a priority for that. But it's been many years since FSCAI started and I am not proficient in its use, so please give me some time to see what can happen. I'll mention again if you could give me some example data that you foresee... what airport(s) would you use, what do you see as a typical "touring" flight that FSCaptain doesn't currently provide, etc. Best, |
