...and another wishlist

Hallo Sami,

once more, AirwaySim is real fun to play and I want to express my compliments on the speed of your website (I am based in Hamburg/Germany) and on the general concept and all the good ideas that have gone into the game already.
Of course the competitive nature of the game also is very interesting.

Over time I have found a few things that I would like to propose to you as my wishlist, as I could not find, that these wishes had been proposed by other players, but, maybe I just overlooked their posts - then I am sorry for the repeat.

1.) in the 3rd "Open new route" window, where the plane is chosen and the schedule is created, I would like very much, that in the Departure-time and Turn-around time windows the drop-down menues are not changing their colour just because I touch them with my cursor.
The reason: When I plan my flights then I try different times for departure or different durations for staying at the destination-airport, because so I can influence my slot-cost or influence whether my plane arrives at a time, when my base-airport is open.
By trying this out, I choose, say, 135 minutes Turn-around time and the blue cursor is at 135 minutes. I find, that this is for some reason not convenient and want to try another duration, so it would be better, if the blue cursor remained at the last chosen time, until I CLICK on a new time. This makes the working with the times more ergonomic.

2.) This may be a bit more difficult, but would be a great enhancement of the game and, I feel, also a step even further towards reality:
I want to be able to change the speed of a plane, in order to make a plane slower, so that I can compensate with my departure-slot-time and the arrival time. This is of imminent importance, when I have limited availability of departure-slots at my destination-airport, from which I fly back to my base. E.g. In Hamburg (EDDH) I can not land between 23:00 h and 06:00 h the following morning. If the departing-slot from the destination-airport, which is available, is such, that I could only arrive minutes before 06:00 h, then I cannot fly this route. And that is a shame.
Of course there must be a realistic limitation of the slowing of flights for this purpose.

3.) I would like to have a feature on the "My aircraft" page, where I can see at one sight the slot-times that each of my plane is using in it´s present scheduling at my base-airport. This is very helpful, if one is trying to reschedule a larger fleet of planes.
Can you consider this, please?

4.) (added on 25th Jan. 2011) It would be helpful, if one could sort the planes in "My Aircraft" also by Loadfactor.

OK, that was it, I have to go back to my game  ;)

Best regards from Hamburg,

BizFlyer

Maybe you have to move this topic to Feature requests??

Yes, actually you are right, but I don´t know how to do it. And I don´t want to double-post.

Can I do it? Or do the moderators have to do it?
