Thanks WealthySoup.

Just came in from the studio from making pots and to grab some quick food.. and saw this posting...... yippee!

I love high speed DSL... took about 1 minute to download  Wink.

I'll get to play with it this weekend and see if I'll go for the "whole enchilada".


BTW... this should be down in "Payware".


best,

This is definitely one of those programs that is a "try the demo first" kind of program. And thusly I am using said demo.

So far it is an interesting experience, and a very original program. I can definitely see it being a virtual airlines program for the online pilot, as well as adding some immersion into the general flight simming community.

Is it worth the price? That Im not sure yet, however time will tell as I tinker around with it seeing what all it can do, yet I do admit it makes the long haul flight a bit better.

Do FS Passengers work with the 9.1 "No CD" executable, or do you have to go back to the normal executable?  Thanks!

I dont know about the no CD. ive had the CD in my DVD drive for oh, about a year since I dont really use the DVD on my computer

As for the actual program...Im having a lot of fun with it so more than likely it will be a purchase just because its different than anything else out there

John,

It just adds a new dimension to the sim.

Ive started my own company and bought the PMDG Beech 1900C to fly around.

I tried the world travel company and bought a Posky 747 lol. Im just playing around with everything so far and it would appear there is a bit more to it than what meets the eye.

Give the demo a whirl and try out what you can with it as it doesnt seem to affect frame rates or the sim at all, at least for me it doesnt.

You want to lend a poor artist a few bucks?   Grin

Took the plunge and bought it after the demo.
No effect on frame rates, but some people do have the problem however the solution is on their site.
I have started out my company with a 727 although i might redo that and start out smaller and work up.
First flight tupelo to memphis, all ok until i overspeed the flaps, fspassengers registers this and disables the flaps so have to declare emergency and do a fast landing. You have to pay to have the aircraft fixed aswell.

Well I just coughed up $38.50

Was tired of flying out of San Fran and figured Im already poor as a man living in a house with grafitti on the side that says "This End Up"

I wanted to fly through a hurricane Cheesy

Only issue I am having is my crew voices arent working, so not sure what is the malfunction
