Acft failures and open bid flights

Post by LittleJoe0962 »

Hey all,

I was just sitting here thinking and i want to know what everyone does about Acft/system failuers? how many do you have actived and/or what system to be affected.

Also, what are open bids? are they certain flights flown at a certain time? if i'm wrong, can someone shed some light on this for me? Thanks

Joe

Hi Joe,

I fly without any failures, maybe not that realistic but I don't have to watch all the time to the flightsim when I do a flight of 9 to 10 hours.
Open board flights are flights you can pick any moment of the month. Also new pilots who didn't do a monthly bid yet can pick up a flight there.

Hope this explains a bit :D

Peter's right...Open Bid Flights are just flights that nobody took during the bidding process. They are also normal schedule flights as opposed to Atlas who is mainly charter flights. :wink:
