What do you think?

 

Suggestions? I want you to be super strict, do not be afraid to say, 'Quite Frankly, It sucks like [some vulgar adjective here] [some vulgar noun here]'. I want to hear anything and everything, if you think a colour is slightly off, I want to know.

Seems ok. The links are not implemented I guess. If it was me, I'd make the slide out menu options a different color, maybe light green with a gradient or something...

"quite frankly, it sucks."

 

but only because i'm massively anti-Flash for stuff that could easily be done in such a way that could be more accessible for everyone - ie, DHTML.

 

IMO, If you're going to use Flash, you've really got to USE Flash - not skim across its surface with basic rollover stuff.

Yea, I'm not a fan at all. The use of flash is terrible and the layout has nothing going for it.  The animations on the menu are very slow and boring. At least add some easing.

Personally I think play/pause/stop buttons would be a nice feature, and the tabs should tween quicker, maybe with a little easing.

I use flash a lot, and I'd be glad to give you some pointers!

I really hate when web sites start playing audio without telling me and without giving me the option to turn it off.

 

Also, when your "into" starts once more it'll start playing the sound file again, but the other one doesn't stop...

A virtual airline! I have heard of you guys! Zoom I mean! I have been playing fs for about 4 years now and bla bla bla. For your website, I would reccomend not using flash but PHP, since I know alot about fs your website should have a PIREP system capable of taking predefinened IATA routes and display themm for a user to choose. Then for each aircraft should have the 65% full and 98% full of PAX and CAR and auto assign a random variable for the 2! I run a VA website so I am going to share some code with you for PHP for the random PAX and CAR

 

<?php
$connection = @mysql_connect("$db_host", "$db_user", "$db_pass") or die("Couldn't connect.");
$db = @mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die("Couldn't select database.");
$plane = $_POST['plane'];
$time = date("'F j Y, g:i a'");

$strd = $_POST[depart];
$strd = strtoupper($strd);
$stra = $_POST[arrival];
$stra = strtoupper($stra);
$money = round($_POST[distance] + $_POST[distance] / 0.476, 2);
$money2 = '$';
$money_main = '' . $money2 . '' . $money . '';
include_once ('aircraft.php');
$sql="INSERT INTO flights (PilotName, FlightDate, AircraftName, NbrPassengers, CargoWeight, DepartureIcaoName, ArrivalIcaoName, TotalDistance, TotalBlockTime, money) VALUES ('CMX-$valid_user', $time, '$_POST[plane]',
 '$passengersrand', '$cargorand Lbs', '$strd', '$stra', '$_POST[distance] NM', '$_POST[hour]:$_POST[minute]', '$money_main')";
 $error = $tblstart . 'Flight Sucessfully Posted!' . $tblend;
 include_once($index);

$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die("<b>A fatal MySQL error occured</b>.\n<br />Query: " . $query . "<br />\nError: (" . mysql_errno() . ") " . mysql_error());
?>
}

 

and for your aircraft.php file you should have:

<?php
if ($plane == 'CRJ-200'){
$passengersrand = rand (40, 49);
$cargorand = rand (5000, 13100);
}
elseif ($plane == 'Airbus A320'){
$passengersrand = rand (100, 145);
$cargorand = rand (100000, 365900);
}
else {
die ('Invalid Aircraft');
}
?>

 

I am sorry for posting this code and not giving that good of a critique it is because I hate to see virtual airlines fall apart just because they dont have a PIREP system! Best of luck and if you guys support fsx&fs9 maybe Ill join.

And ya flash sucks. Although there doesn't seem to be any flash on that page.
