sim miles/VAFS

Post by Kyle David »

Hello I was thinking the other day. I was wondering if our VA would ever use sim miles,VAFS, any financial program or partner with either in a way for realism. I mean realism such as fuel costs, monitoring the fuel burn for each of our flights on or off vatsim, fuel saving strategies etc. just like the carrier... It was only an idea.
Any thoughts??
Thank you
Kyle

It sounds like a good idea, but VAFS costs at least an additional $60 per year and the sim miles website looks so disorganized I wouldn't want them anywhere near our site or database. I think integrating FSPassenger support would be a better way to go and it puts the additional cost back onto only the pilots who are willing to participate. If I'm not mistaken the airline doesn't incur any cost in adding the code to their individual site. The hard part would be having someone to actually work with the coding.
