Hi James, just a quick note here, given that you've posted essentially the same message in three seperate threads within the last week in this forum, perhaps you might consider just using the one thread (this one?) to update us on goings-on at your VA, just making things a bit tidier and easier to look at. :thumbup:

Otherwise go for it. :)

Alex

I really think you need to present a bit more of a professional front end to inspire people to join also I think the livery and fleet may not be inspiring people?? Just a sugestion really..

Agreed...

Another couple of tips for you, James.

Firstly, pilots will come; in time, if they like the look, and presentation of the virtual airline. I really don't think that saying
QUOTE
virtualnz needs pilots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1[/quote] will attract that much attention. In fact, it will probably deter people from joining.

Also - as Alex says three threads probably isn't necessary. I'm afraid I've got a bit lost here with exactly what is going on in each thread...maybe request that they're all merged into one or something?

Thirdly, broaden your horizon by:
* Allowing compatability with FS9;
* Expanding your destinations - 7 airports isn't all that exciting;
* Expand the fleet. Although the 737-800 is a good aircraft, not everyone will like it.
These three factors, if corrected, would be a lot more likely to bring people flocking to the airline.

Maybe think of a different way of registrations - perhaps a registation form? I'm always put off by forms that say you have to send an email to register. Oh, and in this case, there's not really much need for a section that asks for a valid email address is there? Seeing as they will be emailing you anyway.

Finally...the third key up on the left-hand side of your keyboard is titled 'Caps Lock.' If you press it, you will be able to type in lower case. Just a tip for your website <_< . (In case you didn't know, typing entirely in capitals insinuates that you are shouting. Not really a good look ;) )

Having said all of that, it's otherwise looking good. Best of luck with the va :)

P.S. Sorry if any of that sounded harsh - it wasn't meant to lol...just a couple of pointers.
