Online! 

- At first you would start off with a Cesna.  You would fly small charters while racking up your hours and qualifying for bigger jets. 

- You can get jobs at virtual airlines.

- You can start your own airline and have others fly/work for you while advertising your airline on their planes.

Picture the FS community sky lit up with thousands of players online, I could just imagine.  What do you guys think?  FS2006 Online?

But how is it different than a virtual airline, which we can (and do) currently have?

But why would you care as long as the simulation of the aircrft is still as good? Lets not get snobbish about this game we have called FS2004 anyway.

I for one really want to see self shadowing on the aircraft. This would be the last stepin visual realsim for FS I think. As for the game dynamics itself. I think it would be interesting but improbable for the forseeable future.

i think it could be an option. i know fs is not classed as a game but after you have safely completed a flight it would be nice to get some recognition Smiley

Shadowing would be great eye candy.  Also, your planes getting dirty/wet in bad weather conditions.  FS2K4 did a great job with the clouds.  Picture FS2K6?

Also maybe prop wash from the engines would be good. So if you are on the ground or flying over the sea and at high throttle then you can see dust and grass fly backwards or something.
