.18 update

NOTAM from Mike:

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Pilot pay is now taken from flight gross when loaded from a saved flight
- Fixed codeshare ticket pricing and it now works like regular scheduled ticket pricing.
- Running the runway database will now correctly save the files and will not error out.
- Added flight hours to all penalties for troubleshooting purposes.
- Made sure that all variables are reset after the first flight, this MAY have been causing the erroneous flap and gear errors.
- Added some other items to the client to plan for future updates.
- Removed the code that was causing errors upon flight end about not being able to save the flight.

I note that on many - perhaps all - cargo hops, it is difficult, bordering on impossible, to get "Attaboys" for Pilot Performance. Just an observation...

Hi Dave,

Actually got an answer on this one.. Flights set up as cargo will not give bonus for wx, vis or landing... Mike's thought is that "it is cargo" ... so no one to impress and no one to complain... (or scream!)

Jeff

He also said you make a lot more money with cargo as well.

Hi, Jeff -

Thanks for the fast answer! They must have come up with that fairly recently, as I was browsing the Recent Flights page abput a month back, and noticed our own cargo chief had scored HUGE bonuses on a KCVG-PHNL hop in the 74Y. Also, it would seem that t/o and lndg ought to count for something, at least if one's hauling fragile and/or HAZMAT loads...somebody will complain if that load of chocolate Easter bunnies is all broken up. Indeed, if the loadout is 227,000 lbs of nitroglycerin - both "fragile" and HAZMAT! - , somebody will most assuredly notice if you hash the landing...

Good point... in fact hazmat will level penalties for bank angles over 25 degrees and the hard landing penalties are even more harsh... I will get the lowdown on that for everyone.

Jeff
