There are some supplies that need to be moved to 9fl6 if you are up for it, I think were about to run out.
Sure. I do see that there is a bulk supply order function. Is it cheaper to fetch them from somewhere else?
(when in doubt, rtfm)
Purchase (and fly in) bulk supplies
This is generally the cheapest way to stock the FBO. Buy supplies at a nearby airport with On-Site supplies, and then fly them in using a large aircraft.
Direct Purchase
To remove the hassle of shipping supplies, you can also direct order supplies from the FBO management page. When you do so, the built in FSE transport system springs to life and packages and ships supplies directly to the FBO. Unfortunately there are a couple of draw-backs in doing so:
- Expense: it is generally a lot more expensive to have FSE organise the supplies.
- Time: While the system does it’s best to get your expensive supplies to you in a timely manner, no guarantee is made as to any unexpected delays. The only guarantee is that there WILL BE a 5 - 10 day delay in the delivery of your supplies.
I’ve checked 3 area airports and all were selling at $6.75 (Closest is KIMM @ 18nm). This is the same price as we would pay to have it delivered. Unless I am reading it wrong it seems best to just purchase them delivered. EDIT: I’ll get 1000kgs to hold us over.
I bought 2000kgs at KIMM but only 1000kgs was available to fly out in 2, 500kg pallets. Right now the other 1000kgs does not in the line up of available flights out of KIMM. Daily limit, maybe?
Also, there is an animated Corvette drag race inside the fence at KIMM. Maybe that is part of some package that I’ve installed and have since forgotten. Or maybe it’s yet another X-Plane easter egg. It is pretty low quality so I wouldn’t make a special trip out to see it. Nice and unexpected though.
Nice work, that will hold over the FBO for another 30 days. Thanks!
How is FSE doing with MSFS2020? I am enjoying my flights in MSFS2020 and, although I like the systems modeling in X-Plane more (and the additional aircraft ). I am find it hard to leave MSFS.
In my opinion it’s great. It adds that much coveted ‘purpose’ to digital flying that I am always looking for. Getting the plug-in rolling took a little bit of time but everything was smooth-sailing after that. The plug-in does set the correct fuel but not the correct mass, so that is a little something that needs to be fixed manually every flight. We own 3 of the stock aircraft present in MSFS so they would be easy and free to fly for you.
I’ve taken our new 930 on a short trip through the Cali mountains. I had hoped that by parking her in a busier lowlands area she would attract some renters. It is something I saw with the 208 as well. Renters are as happy to pay the price as they were before, but they are not as willing to take the plane from some dead hole and fly it elsewhere to do jobs with, considering the increased offerings. The good news is that a renter was found not long after I parked our 930, and they’re taking it straight back up the mountain on the same route I used to bring her down
I am a tiny bit confused. I bought the 2000kgs of supplies at Immokalee. When I got there, there were two “missions” already listed to fly Supplies to 9FL6 for MAD. They were each 500kgs. I thought it odd that my 2000 turned into 2x500 but I loaded them anyway and flew them home. Scratching my head about the math I dug deeper. The 2000kgs are still there. Either I ordered twice or I actually hauled a load that another one of us previously ordered. Anyway, I’ll fetch them later and we’ll be good through October. But I still don’t quite understand what happened.
Haha, no I had already purchased supplies and created the mission. You have to create a Transfer Assignment to allow other people to move the supplies.
Well boss, we’re well supplied. Delegation has its costs.
Flew my first FSE flight up here in the Canadian Atlantic provinces. Forgot to make it part of MAD though. But I was successful in not screwing it up
Does it track damage?
No. You can crash all you want…
The new applicants are not being processed just yet. I got the bug yesterday with on air and would be keen to try the fse
what is your user name and I’ll add you.
My guess is he meant the game and not our group.
Sorry yes the FSE game is not allowing new members at this time
9FL6 is running low on supplies, only 6 days remaining. There are some supplies at KIMM already. Just need someone to pick them up.
I tried. But X-Plane crashed while I was shutting down back at 9FL6. This after I made the round trip with all 2000kgs of supplies from KIMM. Right now FSE shows the B412 as airborne. Not sure how to fix it but I am pretty sure I won’t be the one doing it. XBOX calls!
smoke, you’ll have to go into “my flight” on the website and find and press cancel, please.
