Hey everyone,

 

I was just reading a topic in another forum about alternate aiports and the person later talked about airport delay's and cancellations.

 

I know it would be a long shot but is there any way a person or group of people could enhance VRC/ASRC and squawkbox so if there are delays or cancellations at the a certain airport in the real world, they could incorporate those into the VATSIM network?

 

Anyway, just a thought I had that would make VATSIM even greater than it is now.

Julian,

 

Interesting question, but I don't think delays related to real world traffic congestion should be modelled on VATSIM. If I were to fly KSFO to KLAX on VATSIM and was put into a 15 min hold for real world traffic congestion, only to see there's actually just 3 planes ahead of me on VATSIM, I would not be pleased.

 

Delays do occur on VATSIM, usually as a result of traffic congestion during an event. I think that should continue to be the case, disregarding real world traffic conditions.

Yeah, I didn't really put into concideration that airports here aren't always staffed with ATC . And there isn't always a great amount of traffic at certain airports. Thanks for responce

Thanks,
