I hope you enjoy them.Welcome to VIR Virtual Airlines, VIR VA has been providing virtual pilots with a fun and realistic environment to call home for over two decades. One last thing, here are two sets of screenshots I took during my Maddog flights. If you join the FTG you will also be able to contribute to this gigantic database.įeel free to PM me if you want more informations. This is the problem I am having right now with Jet'sGo schedule, so I am trying to figure it out another way. Sometimes we manage to get some rare schedule, only to find out that the equipment used are not specified. It is also not only having the quantity but also the quality. This costs time and some rare schedules are expansive. We usually buy them of eBay or other sites, then turn them manually into a giant Excel sheet that gives searchable schedules in our website. One problem is sourcing the timetables and the manpower needed to process the paper schedules. ![]() For example Alitalia had a very static schedule throughout the 1990s so we don't need to get everything. But sometimes it is not worth having all the schedule of all the season and all the years into the database. This is exactly what we are trying to achieve at the FTG through our Classic section. If someone has experience on setting up a VA I think it would get big interest. It would be amazing to have all past MD-82 operators in one place. I still think though that a new virtual airline opearting MD-82s would be a great idea. However many operators and routes are missing in either of them. ![]() I think the HAG and Flying Tigers would cover most of my needs as I would like to replicate European flights too, where there were many MD-82 operators. Thank you very much all for your replies! I'd certainly consider all your suggestions. However, do note that after 25 hours flying small turboprops you are allowed to fly larger regional jets, including the 717, for the next 75 hours of the ranking. I personally like this aspect of the VA but I can see why it might not work for your purposes. The only sticking point is that there's a ranking system, and you need to have 100 hours in smaller regional aircraft before you can fly the MD-80 (I think they do hour transfers from other VAs though). ![]() I just did a quick schedule search and came up with approximately 3,500 bookable flights of all MD-80 variants all across the world, all of which are either current real-world flights with real flight numbers and departure times, or were real world flights at one point in the past (some of the currently loaded schedules are a little old). Phoenix Virtual has all the current Delta, AA, and Allegiant MD-80 flights (substituting an MD-82 for an MD-88, for example, is allowed), as well as ones for very obscure airlines like Hewa Bora, Spanair, Air Uganda, and Cham Wings, some of which have since retired the MD-80.
