well that makes me feel better...I was beginning to think it's something I did wrong
For soem reason I get the big bonus on short flights with little money in the pot...and nothing on the longer ones....but of course that could be my immagination.

At any rate it is the greatest addon in my FS experience......and it's free.

Keep plugging away Sunny, here's one I just did, bonuses are where the action is - try departing around 06:00 local time to get the night bonus, wx is hit and miss - during this flight it was clear all the way until I dropped below 8,000 feet on approach to EG6 Wabamun,Ab.

I've had the WX bonus as high as 207%, along with the night bonus it made a $3000.flight into a very large paycheck
I'm finding that there's no way to predict what the WX bonus will be or if you will even get it, it's like a the lottery, when you get it, it's nice

Thanks guys....makes me feel better that the lottery works for all of us...or against us
Like I said before when looking at the price tag of FSE and then comparing the amazing new dimension of simming it has opened to us.....a little quirk such as this is nothing.
Especially since I don't have to pay my mortgage from my earnings as a Sim Pilot.....I pay that with my earnings as a Sim Race driver ...just kidding of course.

I take the flying part and the preparation for a flight very seriously, I fly on the sim as I would in real life...with one exception in where I draw the line as far as acceptable weather. A lot my flights in the last two weeks were well outside of what I would attempt in real life...even if I had the SIm Equipment ...such as a PA-31 to play with....
FSE for me is just a really nice feature that helps avoiding the routine that will find it's way in the sim sooner or later for everyone...where so far the only thing to change was ...while waiting for FS Version ?? ...new scenery or airplanes. I just did a count of planes in my hangar.... way too many....since FSE 2 .

1.bugs worked out 4-FSE 2.gc11-private charter-fse-flew 4 VIVA-1st one.$440-20% sent to VIVA.The moneys gone so i hope we got it.3.Is this AOK-what is the protocol.said the newbie?4.where do i vote 90% goes fse now. 5.Hope this will generate some intrest 4 the piolts-regards-another newbie

Hey George...guess these are the questions you meant in the other post...

Let's see - yes what you did was fine...we're very slack on what our pilots do at FSEconomy- fly for yourself, Viva or another Group(your own,perhaps) it's all good here.

That covers the protocol,too...no rules except please be considerate and not rent the most expensive plane when a cheaper one would do the job as well. No rules on number of flights per month or anything like that...whenever the mood strikes you is fine.

The voting was done at the start of the poll and it may be closed now but I'll safely assume you are a yes vote

Anything else just give one of us a holler.

Thanks and good flying

i have been simming for about 5 years. FSE was just a three letter word to me until i actually looked into it. now it seems to be a pretty cool program, i also have FS passengers and feel pullled into using my payware program, but i will try FSE for awhile. I like the idea of more online interaction with FSE.

[vi3456]

fseconomy has its own site you can join and many VIVA piolts do---a great dicussion today on the merits/pitfalls of using fse/fs pass. together--if you have never done fse the forum and group is AOK by me--you will enjoy yourself ---till u run out of gas as i did haha
