More Visuals

I think that the management sim needs more pictures. It would be nice for you to be able to see the aircraft you own. Just a little thought I had.

Maybe Spruce up the graphic design of the website.

Too much bandwidth probably...I'm thankful for what we have, but you're thinking, and I like that.

I dont know...its not too harsh i dont think...all they have to put the pics of the airplanes up for is when buying, if someone forgets what their saab 2000 looks like in real life, they just check out the pic as they browse through the purchasing aircraft screen. or if just just link a pic of a plane from airliners.net that the people can look at...that'll waste nothin at all, and airliners.net might get some extra ad revenue.

How would they ever get the copyrights? It's a really good idea, but getting permission for 100+ planes (inside, outside, who knows what else) might be a tad difficult.

However, it is a real good idea for V3...

there was talk a while ago of displaying planes in Airlines liveries

Well if you want free copyrights...have us donate pictures...heck i got tons i can give of airbuses and boeing (and avros if they decide to bring em back...which id like)...and im sure we could use some of the laws groups like wikipedia use....

We have a new design coming... Its fresh and updated. I've shown one or two select users what it will look like. I wonder if they'll back me up if i say its pretty good *insert angel smiley*

I hope so. Will the old fleet painting idea work?

If you need photos of aircraft for the new website you can always link to my website: http://www.aircraftinfobase.net/, as long as they are showed on the original website.

Well, im in favour of this idea, only if it doesnt mean more bandwith is used to load pages.

That will be impossible, because even when one character (for example: A) is added to the page it will use more bandwith, so when extra code is used to show photos + the photos themselves need to be loaded that means that bandwith might more than double, since photos are much bigger than text.

A more graphical looking game would really look alot better.

Indeed, and possibly with the capabilities of PHP's drawing functions, maybe even our logos on the jet or atleast a registration number. So we could physicly see our aircraft. (And it is no more bandwidth to have PHP draw an image ontop of a image that already exsists than it would take to show just the image without say a registration number)

Never say its impossible...cause we all know its not..lol
