Hi,

I'm appealing to any would-be programmers out there, or anyone who has a basic knowledge of "Visual Basic"....

I came up with an idea that it would be great to have a really simple programme on the PC that would provide a RANDOM flight destination.

So the core programme would have space for you to enter a list of destinations (Airport Codes, ie... EGLL), maybe a Departure point list, and an Arrival Point list...... you then press a "produce brief" button which is actually a programme that selects a random departure and destination point from each list.

Problem is, I have no programming knowledge but I wondered if anyone on here knows how to set up a quick programme that would perform this RANDOMIZER function.

I think quite a lot of Flight Simmers would use something that gives the ability to be given random "assignments".

Any ideas anyone ? 🙄

😉

I think there is something like that already around; I believe TTT suggested it a while back. I'll have a look 😀

Will check 'em out Tom but I've used most of them before and I don't think they're too big on Random stuff.

Good pointer though, will check these out and see whats there 😉
