;This is the amount of time in minutes the player has from the 
;time he enters the sim to get off the ground or get bumped back 
;to the UI.  (Note: regardless of this value the player is always 
;given at least 1 minute past his scheduled takeoff time)
PlayerBumpTime = 1000000
;At what amount of time in minutes past their scheduled takeoff 
;time is an AI plane yanked out of the sim (i.e. cancelled)
