andor Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Flight Plan table generator" 03-27-04, 02:53z  Greetings Ben, Just had a look at your Flight Plan Table Generator (F.P.T.G.) I would like to be the first to thank you for what (to me anyway) appears to be a lot of bl.... hard work putting together the FPTG, looks very much like our electronic flight plan lodgement out here, how you do it is a mystery to me and I choose it to remain so Am looking forward to lodging a flight with it. Thanks again, Andy Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Flight Plan table generator" 03-27-04, 08:43z  Thanks, Andy. We're able to do many neat things, and we have created many such tools already, but most are very specialized to flight sim'ing and real aviation. I think your situation of being a sim'er and a real flight student, you're able to use and appreciate them, where as most not in your shoes or who understand real aviation might find them too complicated or won't see their usefulness. Our hope here is to educate the non-flying members and bring them "up to speed" so to speak so they can and will use these tools in the future. On a related note, we have the technology to integrate flight plans with automated ATC for multiplayer flight in the PWF. We've been kicking around the idea of turning it on. One idea is to use the FPTG to also create flight plans that our AI ATC can read. The concept is when you create your flight plan, you'll be able to "file" with the PWF's ATC using the same tool. If there's interest in this, perhaps we'll devote some time to bringing it online.

Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: FPTG Beta v1.1 online" 03-31-04, 05:24z  FPTG Beta v1.1 is now online. We've added the destination to the final line of the table. We currently have 6 waypoints in the table. I know Andy ran into a need for 7, but rather than continually adding waypoints to this thing, if we can come up with a number of waypoints that will cover most flight plans you guys are interested in flying, we should adopt that number. Thanks! Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
