At risk of being a pedant, I'd imagine that it would have gone in the
virtual bin at the point of reading the first line. Attention to
details is important.

Hi Pete,

So you are proposing that a third party airline distributes the
FlightGear CD and provides the infrastructure for the MP servers?

If you are talking globally, 2000 copies (to possible end-users) would
almost disappear  overnight. (As an aside, does anyone know how many
freebie software DVDs given to Joe Public are actually used).

Getting back to the Mp infrastructure, so the suggestion is that the
airline host the servers themselves? This could be an absolute pain in
the neck. If it's hosted within their current infrastructure, they
would need to reconfigure the firewall to open the network ports. In
order to do that, it's usually required to do a risk assessment and if
its the same subnet as their online ticketing system, it would
probably be an immediate no go.


I suspect that the cost benefit of this idea isn't worth the legwork
and shoeleather required. (Unless you can get in the ear of a in-house
marketer to bring it up from within)

Regards


George
