It definately is. Although, and here’s the bad news, you need 12Gb of disk space 😮 , and the program is installed from DVDs, so you need a DVD player in your electirical compooter machine thing. 🙂

That’s all well and good but Ryanair do issue full paper boarding passes.

thats really interesting. i didn’t know that. odd for Ryanair to have boarding passes when they are supposed to watch their costs like eagles and cut as many expensive things out of their operation as is possible.

I would have thought that the real reason for free seating, which in other words is basically ‘no paper boarding passes’ (which is the key) is saving costs.

Remember that this is what the low cost airlines love to do – save costs. So, they get rid of paper boarding passes, and this saves costs in producing them, and distributing them. ok, you may say to that ‘how expensive can printing a small sheet of paper be?’ On its own, not very expensive at all, but when you are printing and distributing 30,000,000 of them a year, you’ll see that it can get quite expensive.

The airline will turn around the idea of reducing costs through no paper boarding passes by saying to their passengers that we have no paper boarding passes ‘to save time during the boarding process – you choose your seats’ – the passengers will be able relate to time-saving and less hassle – not ‘airline cost savings’.

customers will also usually be happier with free seating, because they believe that they’ll be able to choose their seats – not have the check in staff telling you where you’ll sit – more freedom and less restriction sort of thing.

so really, the airline knows that the free seating idea wouldn’t speed up the process at all – but they do know that they could save costs by not producing paper boarding passes, and via that, not allocating seats.

thats what i believe anyway.

Sorry they are small I can’t get them any bigger.

they look rather good – we would really see what they are like if they were larger. why can’t u make them larger? i’d love to see bigger versions!

did another multiplayer session yesterday,
*working *really* hard at university*….

i don’t think the lancaster paint is particularly fantastic, but hey, it was fun. gliding at 10000ft is so relaxing. no throttle to mess around with, no flaps, no bells or whistles screaming at you, no electronic glass cockpit to mess with…

enjoy

thanks

I totally agree, but surely MS could manufacture FS06 to run on a crappy windows ME system – such as the one I got.

yes, they must surely do that. they will do that in order to attract the largest possible audiences, therefore making more money. they can’t and won’t aim one of the best selling computer games in history at purely those with the latest hardware.
