Hi,
I'm in a bit of a slow period at work, so as a hobby I've taken up building missions for Microsoft's Flight Simulator X...
I'm about done with my first (just needs to be voiced), but my next one I want to divert from the navigation/systems failure/flying generally thrust of most of the missions out there and focus on the human factor..
Specifically, in my next mission, the player will be cast as a new-hire private jet captain. His first flight will be a flight from Santa Monica, to [somewhere] and during that flight his passenger will make a bunch of requests- for example, at the start the passenger will demand that the player not fly the noise abatement departure procedure. If the player agrees to all the demands, he fails- the flight will have been unsafe. If he denys all of them, he'll fail (be fired)- some will have been reasonable.
SO...
My question is, what requests have passengers made to you that were strange? Which did you comply with? Which could you not comply with?
I realize that most people who own or charter private aircraft are probably pretty reasonable. And certainly someone who owns or charters a jet should have the air conditioning set how they like it, etc.. And MSFS does not provide options for doing laundry or washing the plane.
I'm looking more for things that would change the path of the flight.
Thanks,
-TF
(I fly pallets and boxes around myself- if they start to make requests I'm going to run to the National Enquirer, not make a FSX mission out of it. And while I do have my own stories, I kind of want to run with this while the idea is still fresh...)
