ABOUT OUR vAMERICARS SYSTEM
Our vAmeriCARS system, unique to American Airlines Virtual, is a state-of-the-art ACARS system developed in-house. It builds upon the foundation of normal ACARS, such as live flight tracking and dispatch, and adds more features to make our ACARS top-of-the-line and the best, giving us a competitive edge over the rest of the playing field. Planned features include the ability to record details of your entire flight, including time of pushback, rotation, and touchdown. Overspeed warnings and stalls are also recorded, enabling us to assist you if you need help flying properly.

We also plan to include the small details that make flying an enjoyable and full experience, such as the ACARS automatically playing the audio of the American Airlines safety video during pushback from the gate, and flight attendant announcements that automatically play throughout their respective stages of flight.

This sounds wonderful! However will the Acars also be FG compatible? I can't wait for this!

We have an FG Integrated ACARS system here - http://flymerlion.org/flightdeck/downloads. Feel free to use the source code to make yours if interested. Cheers!

The new vAA only flies in the USA or also in other countries? I'm really interested in this new VA... Sound good for me, maybe I'll join it in the future.
Cheers, Maverick

[MasteroftheSKIES]

Maverick,

We will fly all American Airlines flights, which includes many airports in South America and Europe.

So you can also do charter flights? Maybe Baltimore-Aviano AB and vice versa or Ramstein AB-Aviano AB and vice versa? I do ATC at LIPA (and ETAR) and I'm searching someone to do these charter flights. Could you help me?
See http://www.aviano.af.mil/library/avianopassengerterminal.asp for more info.
Cheers, Maverick

[MasteroftheSKIES]

Maverick,

We're considering charter flights now. Stay tuned for updates www.fb.com/vamericanair

[Airbus330]

Are you going to fly some planes from the historic fleet as well? *cough *cough A300-600s?

[legoboyvdlp]

Don't get me wrong, but you need to isolate the A306 before it can be used. The total of a310 and bepuga is about 60 mb. A lot simpler just one plane; not three

[Airbus330]

It is just One plane.
the A310 and Beluga are both seperate.
(the A300-600 is a 17mb download)

[legoboyvdlp]

You need the two others to run the A306 properly, you see.

[Airbus330]

Just Deleted my A310 and Beluga.....
The A306 still works

[legoboyvdlp]

The version I have uses the A310 yoke and more, and Beluga cockpit. (or was that the A310?)

[berkut]

A300 ,A310 and the Beluga are all separate planes here in FG. Nothing is connected in between. The Beluga still needs some work on it's AP but it's an amazing plane.


Regards.
