simurq 0 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Captains, The title says it all - really, is it possible? The US is big and a single job 200nm away from the base is not a big deal. But there are countries such as Norway or Switzerland which you can easily fly from one end to another in a couple of hours and even in C172. On the other hand, it seems more real to me for a startup hauler to make flights within the base country first, and some time later to extend the services to neighboring countries. I tried to make distances shorter through Options but since my base (ENHA) is not far from the border, some of the jobs are reaching the territory of Sweden anyway. Any advice how I can make AH to get me right? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 In a word, no. AH is unaware of national borders and doesn't have the capability to limit jobs to a single country. John Link to post Share on other sites
simurq 0 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thank you, John! I guessed that too... but I can live with that. Will accept jobs within my base country for now but am gonna ask Duncan to take a note before he releases version 2. Dunno if it's been added to his Wish List already though... Thanks!!!

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Setting up shop far enough from a border and then setting your aircraft "set details" ranges *might* keep you within your proffered borders. Other than that, just ignore jobs you don't wish to carry. A "We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service" placard is standard issue on all of our job boards. Link to post Share on other sites

Slopey 4 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 As you're aware it's not possible. It's also not currently on the AH2 feature list, but I will consider it. But there are several issues with doing that which the player might not appreciate then inadvertently blame AH2. i) Add-on scenery is terrible for including correct country/state information - half the time, the country name is set to the author name! That makes doing it with add-on scenery very problematic. ii) Some of the smaller/less developed countries don't have enough airports, or geographic area to create variety, or even create jobs - i.e. airport size set to max in a 3rd world small country with only one large airport. iiI) The Schengen area - as you'll be aware, with the exception of the UK, you can fly between any European (mostly) country without customs as you're within the Schengen area, so limit flights to within say Holland would be totally unrealistic, and if you don't think I wouldn't get hauled through the mill on something like that - think again! iv) The US - it's one country, so that's never going to work, and it wouldn't work (or be reasonable) at state level. So, it's not all easy sailing! Cheers, D. Link to post Share on other sites
simurq 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Duncan, Thank you for your contribution and detailed explanation! As a developer myself, I do understand the challenges you're facing - this is just to make sure that I won't be the player blaming AH2. What you'd achieved so far with AH1 is already a blessing for our community! Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

PAPG does look a bit like ENRA, and flying there with snow coming down must be a nightmare What caviar?? Didn't see a thing.. (just drop a few cans on my porch when you go to St.Petersbourg next time ) Link to post Share on other sites
