Good day all,
I just wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for you being a part of our Virtual Airlines. These past (2) Two years have been kind of a mess. As some of you may know, I developed a non-cancerous tumor in the brain. Also in this time, I developed stenosis in an important vessel going into the brain. I did have a mild stroke 8 months ago, and with this current condition, I will undergo a Cerebral Artery Bypass surgery which will be performed by a specialist in Gainesville, FL. The date at this time has not been set, but it is on the schedule.
On another note, Those who have been using Transload, Jim has temporarily removed the Smartcars 3 License and moved it to a new Cargo project we are working on. The license for Transload will expire in March, 2025, and at that point, Transload will cease. It has been a great 24 years, but with the updated versions of Flight Simulator, It is impossible to keep up with our 200+ aircraft fleet.
To simplify the operations, We have opened Republic Airways Virtual. https://republicvirtual.com This VA is using the most advanced php software available. The airline is built to operate on the vmsacars, and smartcars3 platforms, and real-world fight operations using the E-Family jets, and the Airbus A220-300 (BCS3).
The new project will fall under a diverse cargo platform. This site is functional, but still under development. https://rva.republicvirtual.com This VA will be using the current Transload smartcars3 license for the moment. Once you have a look around the site, you will notice the different available options for your flight planning. Charter flights are not available at this time for this site.
Both Republic Virtual, and Transload are, and will continue to be active on FSHub.

Republic, https://fshub.io/airline/REP/overview
FSHub is one hell of a platform, and offers my challenges than any VA I have seen. This is free, so please have a look and help keep Transload alive.
I big shout out to Jim Lyman for the trial and error put into the web sites over the past 5 years. Without him, none of this would exist.
I hope with this explanation, you would consider to continue to be part of our family. All comments and suggestion are encouraged.
