Online Dispatch Webpage for Persistent Aircraft State Sharing

[kurt wieser]

As a dedicated user of your A350 aircraft for Microsoft Flight Simulator, I’m amazed by the realism and quality you bring to the flight sim community. I’d like to suggest a feature that I think would take the A350 experience to the next level: an online dispatch webpage where users can book an aircraft, download its current panel status, fly it, and upload the updated status afterward. This would make flying feel more like real-world aviation by letting users share and manage aircraft states with others.

What the Feature Looks Like

• Online Dispatch Webpage: A platform to view and book available A350 aircraft.
• Booking System: Reserve an aircraft on a first-come, first-served basis or with a schedule.
• Download Panel Status: Get the aircraft’s current state—like fuel, systems, and maintenance—before flying.
• Upload Panel Status: After flying, update the aircraft’s state to reflect your flight’s impact.
• Community Interaction: Share aircraft with other users, creating a fleet management experience.

Why It’s Great

• More Realism: It mimics how pilots take over aircraft from others, complete with maintenance considerations.
• Community Fun: Users can connect by sharing aircraft histories and collaborating, perfect for virtual airlines.
• Unique Appeal: This could set IniBuilds apart, drawing in simmers who love innovative features.

Inspiration from Other Games

Other games show this can work! In GTA V, mods save vehicle states between sessions, and Cyberpunk 2077 mods keep cars persistent. A similar system could bring that magic to flight sim.

Why It Matters

This feature would deepen the immersion of flying your A350 and build a stronger community around it. It fits IniBuilds’ track record of pushing boundaries, like with your recent A350 update (v1.0.6).

I’m excited about this idea and happy to offer more input or help test it if you’re interested. Thanks for all your amazing work—I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Best regards,
Kurt

Hello,

This sounds very cool but also like an extensive endeavor to take on. I will suggest it but I can't promise that it'll be taken onboard as there is a lot of parameters we'd have to uphold to have a functional dispatch webpage. 

Thank you
