FsPassengers is AMAZING. It's got everything you need to start flying right off the bat! All menus are used during flight, and it's super easy to learn.
Anyone, ANYONE, even Radarman, with his TailDraggers would love this!
What you get during a flight with FSpassengers
Real time loading-You have to wait for your passengers to board...Dont forget to open the door so they can get on! The flight attendant, if you have one (They can be set to only medium and heavy jets, or ALL aircraft.) will close the door when boarding is done. You can also skip boarding and get ready to go.
Airline Creation and Management- You start your very own airline. Fly for the airline, Manage it, or do both. When you manage it, you have to buy and repair aircraft. Be sure that the pilots you have are qualified, otherwise you can't buy anything better than the Cessna Skyhawk at the beginning.
Crew announcements-Pre flight boarding ambiance, In-Flight announcements, safetey briefings. They even offer you coffee, and you can hear the cockpit door open. French, English, and Deutsch
A Set-them yourself V-speeds list, that the Copilot will call out.
Co-pilot assisted nav tuning-Hit C and type say N20333 and the Co-pilot will tune radio to 203.33 frequency, with a readback, so you know it's done correctly.
Many more failures than FS9 originally has. Engine fires, better watch all your instruments, you can have slow electrical failures, shown simply by a extremely gradual drop in voltage.
If the landing gear gets stuck up, the plane WILL SKID TO A STOP, for a belly landing. With luck, you wont kill your passengers and you'll get bonus points for a safe emergency.
There's so much more, but I'm flyin now, so i'll let you download it and check for yourself.
FULLY FUNCTIONAL, ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO USE IT COMPLETELY IS TAKEOFF FROM SAN-FRANSISCO AIRPORTS!!!
www.fspassengers.com
GET IT NOW
9.5 out of 10
The only Con i can think of- No way to input previous pilot hours, which means you're flying a Cessna Skyhawk untill you get enough hours. (This can be de-selected, so you don't HAVE to do it this way). |

| Little to No effect to it whatsoever, it's basically "background noise" |

| Yeah, but it's meant for a different use than FS2Crew. This simulates Airline Management, Aircraft maintenece costs, and pilot progression through ranks. |

Sounds like a good addon. The idea I like most are how you get points for how well you fly and gradually progress up to harder airplanes. I guess that would give it a good learning curve. Would this addon be ideal for beginners, because when my cousins or friends come over they always want to fly the bigger planes like me but they're rubbish and they can't be bothered to take lessons. Does it have any simple training?

TOTALLY AGREE WITH FEM ....... I bought this the day it was released after a long anticipation and it is SUPERB !
I also agree that it's a totally different to FS2Crew - I like the both but they are entirely different.... FS2Crew is technical and is about F/O interaction.... FS Passengers gives you the responsibility for all of your passengers..... You need to board them, feed them, ascend gently, descend appropriately.... but theres so much more .... The Load screen is fab because it interacts with the FS Payload screen automatically. You get LOADS of info during your flight you can also tune COM and NAV using simply key commands ... ie when you get the message "Tune Amsterdam Centre on 121.80" .... you can simply type C 12180 on your keybaord and the F/O will tune the radio .... these features work on ANY add-on..
Really great add-on, love it ... works very well with FDC live cockpit too although you need to de-activate some features (such as the cabin crew) because they will duplicate.
My only criticism is that I haven't yet found a way of replacing the Australian Cabin Crew with a different accent ..... I think she may be the only one for now !

Floris,
I got your Private Message.
You access all of the FS Passengers settings, etc from the main FS menu once you are in a flight.... so start a flight, then just press ALT to get the menu up, and you'll see that there will be a new "FsPassengers item on the menu bar.
If you're still stuck, hopefully FEM can help you on MSN as I don't use MSN. _________________ David

yeah, i bought the full version of FsPassengers, and that $38.00 is TOTALLY worth the money!! and in the unregistered version you can only take off from san fransisco, but buy the full version from the $38.00, and you wont be sorry!!
I love FsPassengers!! _________________ Ahhh...2007 is good! |

Why would you want to? That would destroy your FPS rate for one. Secondly, if you could imagine the amout of programming it would take to have passengers, with variable AI. Not to mention the fact that many aircraft don't have virtual cabins. It would be impossible to have visible passengers. You can hear them though. |
