FlyNET (FSAirlines)

This page is designed to help or secure the understanding of our system as this can be quite complicated.

FlyNET is an organisation that delivers a virtual marketplace with hundreds of virtual airlines, designed to give the most realistic approach to Flight Simulator Virtual Airlines.

Basically there are hundreds of different virtual airlines and thousands of virtual pilots. Each pilot works for one virtual airline, and gets paid virtual money. With this virtual money the virtual pilot can buy virtual accessories like virtual cars and virtual homes. The pilot gets their own log book in which they keep all of their flight information.

In the bigger picture, the virtual airline buys aircraft with their virtual budget for the virtual pilots to fly in. These virtual aircraft can be bought by the airline or leased. The airline must also pay for fuel with each different airport having different prices on avaition fuel. The other thing about these aircraft is that they need serviced every so often to prevent failures which DO occur if the Airline does not look after its aircraft, (FlyStealth look after theirs!) and they can be damaged by stress during flight, hard landings, too much turbulance and taxiing on the wrong surfaces. This is why you profile also has a handy "pilot rating" which means if FlyStealth think you are costing them too much you will be dismissed. Other things like landing at the wrong airport or crashing cause the reputation of the Virtual Airline to suffer (and this reputation is VERY import). The higher a reputation the Virtual Airline has the more customers fly with them, meaning more money, better aircraft, more money, better pay for pilots.

All Virtual Airlines are competing with each other, unless they are allied. Things like budget, reputation and number of pilots all count towards this. The airlines also has many different routes which can be selected if no one else is flying that exact route at that exact time in the exact same aircraft. All aircraft are different. They have individual registrations and different fuel states and repair status etc.

Hopefully now you will now be thinking about how large this virtual marketplace for virtual airlines is. And this is why here at FlyStealth we use this system to improve the realism of the virtual experience.

FlyNET uses its own and third party TRUSTED software. This means things get more realistic.

When you join you will be confronted on the pilots lounge with a large detailed document which outlines how you go about setting your flight sim software up.

The FlyNET client works alongside FSUIPC4 for FSX or FSUIPC for FS2004 to record your flight. This means when you want to do a flight for the airline, you will be watched all the way through. It records your speeds, so you must never travel aboce 20 knots on the ground, except the runway. You must always switch on your landing lights when entering the runways, and turn them off when exiting. You must turn off your landing lights before 10'000ft, amd do not exceed 250knots while below 10'00ft. It also records how much fuel you top up, use and how much it costs the airline (SO DONT WASTE FUEL). It records what airport you takeoff and land from. It records your landing force (SO DONT LAND TO HARD!!).

This altogether makes the FlyNET system even more realistic, again why we at FlyStealth insist this is used.

Other options for the pilot include "buying a ticket" to travel to different airports. Because if your flight aircraft is at Glasgow, and you are at London Luton, then you better get to Glasgow quickly. This comes at a cost from the PILOTS pocket. The airlines can also move the aircraft to different locations however this costs a lot.

The pilot is given different abilities to allow them to fly different aircraft. For instance a new recruit cannot jump in a 747 and fly to Australia, because they will not have the specific rating (license) to fly that aircraft.

We decided to use FlyNET on a seperate page known as "Above the Horizon", so that is where you go when you want to fly, or check out yours or the Airlines statistics. Some more information can be found on the forum, and if you need any help we check our forums daily between 4pm and 5pm GMT and then again sometimes between 10 pm and 11pm GMT.
