It'd be best to remove job ranges entirely and let players figure it out . Like, plan out their flight with stopovers.

do helicopters irl travel continentally?

weary summit
#

how much range do you think a helicopter has

#

irl

zenith oyster
#

like america to europe continentally

manic mason
#

What I mean is

#

helicopters can barely get any jobs with the range they have

#

Its scaled IRL yes

#

But it'd be better to just remove the limit and just let players figure it out

#

like remove job ranges entirely

weary summit
#

i mean i like the job range part

#

i dont agree with the range part

#

heli range itself

manic mason
#

I'l change the suggestion ig

#

most aircraft can do jobs far out of their range

(see my cessna 172 flight from clarence to kapa)

i do SAR frequently

manic mason
#

When was the last time you saw someone do anything that isn't just transport, charter or recon

weary summit
#

i plan on doing some sar in the future

zenith oyster
#

on how to hover, jhook etc

manic mason
#

Sometimes the people to be rescued don't even spawn in

#

so you're only guide is the distance indicator on the job

#

msar is in the water

#

normal sar is on land

weary summit
#

which is harder

manic mason
#

msar

#

you'll have to learn to stabilize your heli

#

you can also do Msar with flying boats

weary summit
#

flying boats

#

oh

manic mason
#

I'd recomment the ShinMeiwa US-2

zenith oyster
#

actually this might be op
recon range is based of aircraft range
the farther the more reward

manic mason
#

Recon range doesn't have anything to do with recon range

#

recon already doesn't have anything to do with range.

#

Thats how the Fokker 50MPA gets jobs 200nm away

weary summit
#

ima try msar on another plane

#

in this case ima try with this cuz i dont have much time lmao

#

You have to get within pickup range

weary summit
#

yes ik

#

consider this practice while i wait for the shinmeiwa to be on stock

#

i think ive done sar (land) once or twice before

#

hella op in small islands in the middle of nowhere (rawaki/nadsadin)

#

i remember doing one and the pickup point was like 0.5 nm away from the airport

#

at pembroke

#

i wish we could do this

#

unfortunately i think the reason job range exist is idiotproofing, as in

#

not everyone's gonna realize they have to plan out their job and stopovers and all based on what they can take in the job menu

#

believe it or not, not everyone will inherently know or think that

I love this

#

new players gonna have a hard time with this

weary summit
#

oh look high pay

#

half way in, above ocean at 1k feet

#

oh shit im out of fuel

#

I think this could be done via a filtering option or something+a warning if the destination is too far

graceful ruin
#

too many people would struggle with this lmao

#

if there is a warning for jobs further than the range for the plane then it would probably be fine

queen cobalt
#

How about in the job preview on the map it also shows your fuel range ring

#

Maybe as like a dotted circle or something

graceful ruin
#

that could work

queen cobalt
#

And if you’re getting a job while in the aircraft it’d tell you your available range and the distance required for the job

#

people struggle to turn the plane on and fly from hampden to oconee

dreamy harness
#

but they dont

#

Novice pilots could have full restrictions (like how it is rn)

#

After you have 100 flight hour thingey (forgor the title name) you probably can have no restrictions
