Posted on Tue, 03 May 2005 01:20:24 GMT

FsPassengers 2004 is an add-on for FS2004 that will revolutionize the way you fly. It adds a wide variety of new features such as passengers who respond to your flying, aircraft management, pilot career and other records and much more. For details, click on Read More.After almost one year of development, FSPassengers is nearing completion. It’s an add-on shareware module for Flight Simulator 2004 with a long list of features. A list so long that we named it the “All-In-One” that will change your way of flying in FS!

FSPassengers is directly integrated into Flight Simulator for high efficiency and no frame rate impact. The main developer behind this project, Dan, is very well known for one of the most popular and realistic add-ons for Orbiter, the space simulator.

Now you’ll feel passengers behind you.. and manage a real airliner environment.

In a few words:

• Add passengers to your flights! Finally, you're not alone in the sky.
• Passengers react to how you fly your plane. Hear them scream if you make drastic mistakes, and get their opinion of your flight in real time.
• Provide in-flight passenger services such as movies, music, and drinks.
• Make money for successful flights; be fined if you do something wrong.
• Manage an airline (make money, manage aircraft fleets, etc).
• Maintain your aircraft in good condition, otherwise you may experience unique and suprising failures. Create and maintain pilot careers.
• Keep detailed logs and statistics for every flight you make (great for virtual airlines).
• Fly through dangerous parts of the world, and risk the safety of your plane, crew, or passengers!
• This add-on includes more than 250 in-flight sounds to immerse you in the ambiance of flight.
• Hear feedback from your co-pilot, flight attendants, passengers; listen to ATC chatter, music, GPWS, and more.
• Great attention has been payed to even small details, for example : you can even hear plates break if you perform manoeuvres while food is being served.
• All screens and reports work in full screen. No need to quit FS.

An FsPassengers flight starts with the loading of your aircraft, which brings you to the first unique feature of FsP: the aircraft payload dialog. Now you can really load your aircraft--ANY aircraft you have--without needing to quit Flight Simulator!

Once the flight starts, every piloting mistake you make will be tracked and noted in a post-flight report: excess G-force, too much bank, rolling outside landing strip, forgetting lights, flaps, seat belts, door opening during flight, excess climb or descent rate, and much more. If your flying technique is really bad, you can hurt your passengers, and in extreme cases you can even hear them scream from the cabin! Speaking of sounds, there are more than 250 sounds that you can hear in flight: co-pilot, hostess, GPWS, ATC chatter, music, sound effects, and many more.

When the flight ends you will see a post-flight report that will describe how the flight went. If you run a company you will be rewarded with money based on ticket prices, oil prices, distance flown, number of passengers, cargo weight, airport taxes and other things. If you crash, you will lose money (your insurance will have to pay the damages) and your company's reputation will suffer. FsPassengers also contains a lot of unique features never seen in Fs. See the screenshots section to see some of them.
