Air Hauler 2 X-Plane
-
Hi,
Thank you for bringing AirHauler2 for Xplane11, but it’s been kind of disappointing in terms of release date or keeping update with what’s going on . I am sure even you guys want to get it out as soon as you’ll know all good to go . Unfortunately it’s just one person who gets info from the developer and he does he’s best to inform the customers. I know for sure it will be price tag at least £50 or more but there should be a way how it could be done rather than having so many release date suggestions here and there but nothing happens at the end.
Yes , when you’ll done it’s when you’ll will think of releasing it , but there a customer again who will have to buy your product they also want a clear picture with what’s going on. It was suggested a release date first half of May but now it’s completely gone quite .
Communication wise it’s just been poor .Thank you .

You would think there is a larger market out there for this stuff. The sim developers are so focused on making their product realistic that the completely overlook the reasons for flying. I like having a reason for flying and completing a mission. I would expect that there could be multiple versions of this stuff with various objectives to keep flying challenging.

I feel bad for these JF guys when we ask questions they do there best to answer us with very little knowledge they have with the development and the current situation . The developer never comes out to make a comment let the customer know what’s going on .

@Dilshaan68 I guess you're one and the same who is posting in the xp.org forum? If so I have replied to you there now, if you wish to take a look rather than repeating myself here.
Price will be nowhere near £50 - bit of good news for you today. :)

@Voice-of-Reason
Thank you for reply yes I have read your thread in Xplane org. Doesn’t really matter how much it will be priced it’s just want to get this product badly as it sounds that good. Hopefully everything will go well and hope to have good news soon.Thanks

@lanmancz It's capable of running completely offline, however, map tiles for the map views are downloaded from the internet - but they cache, so only need to be downloaded once. i.e. you can disconnect from the internet after you have used the map for a bit. VA stuff obviously needs the internet also.
So yes, you can, with a few caveats and having online availability will always help.
Hope that helps.

Hello,
Is it possible to add more liveries or to change your aircraft livery?
I cant find it so i was wondering it in the game? -
Hi,
I purchased Air hauler v1 for x-plane a few years ago and found it an extremely well written and intuitive piece of software. I used it continuously over many months and built up a small empire with a few planes and a few pilots. Within a short time I had a considerable fortune and 12 planes.
Unfortunately I was away from my PC for 2 months due to a family problem and missed my AH experiences. When I returned I fired AH up and all of my fortune was wiped out as the software calculated all the wages, lease costs etc. I was left with a negative amount. I tried to find out if there was a way to stop this happening and was advised to rest my windows clock back to when I last played AH. Not a good idea.
Will Air hauler 2 for x-plane suffer the same problem? Sometimes we cannot play with these games in real time and have to be away from the PC for weeks on end. It is frustrating and I gave up on AH 1. I would like to buy AH2 but am concerned.

Hello,
please make the instruction window in the sim visible in VR, currently it's not which is a bit of a problem when doing something like type rating. At least the instructions are logged in the message log so by checking the desktop in VR I can at least see what instructions I've been given but still it would be nice if the window was visible in VR.edit: Actually I noticed there is a TTS option which might be good in VR.
Also I agree with previous post by Mike - I also sometimes don't fly for a month or two so it would be nice if there was an option to "pause" the AH2 company simulation so we don't lose all money when RL does not permit us simming.
Thank you.

All,
For AH2 help, both technical and otherwise, best to post in the dedicated forum, which is here.
Thank you

@lanmancz You can use MoveVR to capture the AH2 Information window. It will only let you import into VR when it is active, so pause the sim as soon as it appears. If you miss the messages, you will see the messages logged in the AH2 Tracker.
The AH2 Information widow appears when you first enter the aircraft, when you start taxiing, and shortly after takeoff.

@Voice-of-Reason You need a separate login for that ? My JF community login does not seem to work.
Anyway speaking about the TTS option, it's nice and quite immersive in VR, I'd say better than even having the window in VR, but can we please get more options for the TTS to make it less verbose ? I just did a bit of a rough flight and it quickly became very annoying (and it can't be turned off while inflight). First of all I'd like to limit the amount of messages I get before boarding - I really do not need to know every second that that "Boarding will begin in 59 seconds, boarding will begin in 58 seconds, boarding will begin in 57 seconds", etc. Just tell me that boarding will begin in 1 minute would be good. Also I was flying through a bit of a turbulence and I got constant warnings that I'm making passengers uncomfortable - again, telling me once and then having a 5 minute timeout for this message is plenty enough - having it constantly yelling at me for 20 minutes straight, one message right after another, got annoying really fast. So I'd like to propose some sort of timeout setting that will prevent the same message type being repeated more than once per X minutes.
Thanks. -
@lanmancz I agree. The 60 second count down is annoying. I usually manually advance the clock to pick a time between loading and takeoff. Unfortunately, the window is not persistent like the other one. It would be easier to add it with MoveVR if it remained open for the duration of the flight. The updates are important, especially if you have an equipment malfunction or hit turbulence, upsetting your passengers along the way.
